Tube Blueprint Location in StarRupture

By newsgame

Tubes are one of the most important components to unlock first in StarRupture, but figuring out the recipe for this item is not as simple as it might seem. Players need to look around for various ingredients before they can start crafting Tubes, including their Blueprint.

This guide will reveal the location of the Blueprint as well as all components necessary to unlock the Tube Recipe for the Fabricator in StarRupture. It also includes a step-by-step on how to manufacture this key item.

Where To Find the Tubes Blueprint in StarRupture

The Blueprint needed to unlock the Tube recipe at the Recipe Station is located northwest of the Landing Pod, in an abandoned Selenian Corporation site named SMB “Purple Haze” Selenian Mining Base. The blueprint is located in the Blue Chest hidden in the ruined building, and players need to do some jumping puzzles to enter it.

Next, players need to go to the Recipe Station to research the blueprint, using Titanium Sheet, and Titanium Rod, as well as Data Points. Once that is done, players can go to the nearest Fabricator and set a queue to create Tubes.

Remember, it is important to connect two fabricators that produce Titanium Sheet and Titanium Rods to a third Fabricator to start producing Tubes.

It is also important to have various Cargo Storage buildings interconnected with the Fabricator, so that the Tubes are stored there instead of blocking the production line once it hits 100.

Tubes are used to unlock many of the advanced recipes, like Inductors, Applicators, and basically every advanced resource, since they require Tubes to be unlocked at the Recipe Station and crafted.

Tubes are also needed to reach level 6 with Selenian Corporation, which is critical to unlock the Helium-3 extractor. Players will have to craft thousands of Tubes and send commissions to this Corp to increase their reputation (or use Data Points if they farm enough of them).

So, without unlocking the Tubes, there’s no end-game fun in StarRupture. Players should hurry up and get that Blueprint before they get stuck or move too far away from the starter zone.
