• Inventory: Store all your items
• Quest Log: Keep track of your objectives
• Hotbar: Quickly access tools and items
• Build Mode: Enter construction mode for your base and structures

A safe base is the cornerstone of survival in StarRupture.

Why You Need a Base

Without a secure base, nighttime predators and environmental hazards can make survival extremely difficult. A base provides:

• Protection from threats
• Storage for resources
• Space for crafting and equipment
• A respawn point

Base Building Process

Choose Your Location

• Near resource points: Forests and mineral deposits
• Flat terrain: Easier for expansion
• Away from high-risk zones: Fewer predators at night

Basic Structure

Recommended early construction order:

1. Foundation: Stabilizes your base and prevents collapse
2. Walls & Doors: Keep predators and hostile NPCs out
3. Storage Chests: Organize wood, stone, plants, and food
4. Bed Roll: Sets your respawn point
5. Campfire or Furnace: For cooking and smelting materials

Base Expansion Tips

As you progress, consider adding:

• Fences and lookout towers
• Defensive traps
• Production stations
• Automation devices

Tools are essential for survival and efficiency. Early on, focus on crafting key items.

Recommended Starter Tools

hammer How to Craft

1. Open your inventory → Select Craft
2. Check required materials
3. Click Create

Material Requirements Example:

• Stone Axe: 2 Wood + 3 Stone
• Stone Pickaxe: 1 Wood + 4 Stone
• Wooden Hoe: 3 Wood

Tool Priority

Suggested crafting order:

1. Stone Axe – faster wood gathering
2. Stone Pickaxe – mine stone and ores
3. Campfire – cook food, provide light at night
4. Basic Weapon – defend against small predators

Crafting goes beyond making basic tools. Efficient use of materials is key.

Resource Types

Crafting Workbench Upgrades

• Basic Workbench – Craft starter tools
• Standard Workbench – Advanced tools and armor
