What to know

  • The Chemicals blueprint is located at Clever Robotics Research Outpost (CRRO “Spored Rock”), far east of the starting Habitat.​
  • The outpost is covered in blue spores that spawn aliens; clear them with your mining tool to stop spawns.​
  • Inside the main building, search thoroughly and look for a blue treasure chest on a small platform at the top of the cliff.​
  • Bring plenty of ammo and an empty inventory, since the outpost has lots of valuable loot in bodies and containers.​

The Chemicals blueprint is a key mid-game unlock in StarRupture, letting you build the Chemicals factory and start producing advanced medical and tech materials. It’s hidden inside a blue treasure chest at the Clever Robotics Research Outpost (CRRO “Spored Rock”), far east of your starting Habitat. This area is dangerous and loot-heavy, so going in prepared will make the run much smoother.

Where to find the Chemicals blueprint

In StarRupture, the Chemicals blueprint unlocks the Chemicals factory, which is essential for crafting advanced medical tools and tech. You’ll find it inside a blue treasure chest at the Clever Robotics Research Outpost (CRRO), commonly called “Spored Rock.” The outpost sits far east of your starting Habitat/crash site, so bring supplies for a long trek.

To reach it, head east from the crash site until you spot a large industrial facility built into rocky terrain. Enter via the stairs to the main building, and be prepared for constant alien spawns, the area is covered in blue spores that continuously generate enemies.

What the Chemicals blueprint unlocks

Once you have the Chemicals blueprint, you can build the Chemicals factory at your base. This factory lets you produce:​

  • Chemicals (used in advanced med tools, some tech, and higher-tier recipes).​
  • Various processed compounds needed for mid-to-late game progression.​

Tips for the run

  • Bring a full stack of ammo and a decent weapon; the spore spawns can drain resources quickly.​
  • Empty your inventory before going so you can loot everything in the outpost.​
  • If playing with friends, split tasks: one person clears spores while the other handles aliens.​
  • Mark the outpost on your map so you can return easily for future loot runs.​

Getting the Chemicals blueprint
