Creepy Jar dropped the second part of their base-building guide for StarRupture, and this one moves past the basics into the systems that actually matter once you've got your first factory running. If you watched Part 1, this picks up where that left off, but if you haven't, the team's recommending you catch that first before diving in here.

The focus this time is on the stuff that separates a functional base from an optimized one: how stability actually works, the drone smart path system and why your logistics feel sluggish, and the priority system that lets you control which tasks drones handle first. There's also a useful tip about upgrading drone rails without tearing down your existing infrastructure, which sounds small until you realize how much time that saves mid-game. The guide also covers unlocking higher-tier buildings, deconstructing entire bases in one click, and the quartz economy.

Check out the full breakdown in the official guide to see which mechanic you've been overlooking.

Full Patch Notes

Hi everyone!

We’re inviting you to see the second part of our Base Buildings Video, which will shed more light on slightly more advanced mechanics.

If you’ve missed the first part of our guide, go check it out on YouTube, and then come back here quickly for the next dose of factory-building knowledge.

Knowing the following mechanics will advance you from a rookie builder to a pro factory architect:

  • The principles of building stability
  • Drone Smart Path system - aka how drones find their way
  • Drones priority and how to make the best use of it
  • Upgrading Drone Rails - did you know that you don’t need to deconstruct slower Drone Rails in order to upgrade them?
  • Deconstructing the entire Base - one click solution gets you covered!
  • A word on the Higher Tier Buildings and how to unlock them
  • Tips on Quartz and how to get it

What’s your favorite base-building tip from the video? Or maybe you have some extra tips to share with the community?

Until the next one,

Creepy Jar Team
