Start Here: StarRupture Beginner Guide

StarRupture is a first-person open-world base building game by Creepy Jar, launched in Early Access (Jan 6, 2026). This page is your "30-second routing" hub: click the right guide, avoid early mistakes, and keep moving.

What you're trying to accomplish (first session)

1) Stabilize survival basics

Hydration + Calories first. If those aren't stable, everything else feels harder than it needs to be.

2) Build a "safe loop"

Pick a repeatable route: gather → craft/upgrade → return → restock. Consistency beats speed early.

  • Target 2–3 nearby resource spots
  • Return on a timer (don't overextend)

3) Unlock better production

Long-term quality of life comes from researched production and stronger consumables.

  • Next milestone: Recipe Station
  • Commonly tied to Moon Energy Corporation Level 2

Core concept

StarRupture's world is described by the developers as an ever-changing planet with repeating cycles of elemental cataclysms. Early Access means numbers and balance can shift—treat tooltips and patch notes as the final boss of truth.

FAQ (quick answers)

Is StarRupture playable solo?

Yes. It supports single-player and also up to 4-player co-op.

Is co-op worth it for beginners?

If your goal is faster learning and safer exploration, yes. Just keep your early loop simple and share survival supplies.

What should I do next after basics?

Push progression toward Recipe Station access, because research/blueprints unlock better production and consumables.

Are guides here "version verified"?

They're written for Early Access and updated as sources change. Always double-check in-game UI when something differs.
