How do I use the Visual Planner?

Select your target item, set the desired output rate, and click 'Generate Chain'. The planner creates a visual node graph showing every machine and material flow needed for your factory.

StarRupture is a lunar factory automation game with survival elements, developed by Creepy Jar. Build production chains, manage resources, unlock technologies through 6 corporations, and survive periodic disaster events called Ruptures.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes! StarRupture Planner is completely free. All calculators, database, guides, and tools are available without registration or payment.

What are Items Per Minute (IPM)?

IPM is the standard measurement for production throughput. Common planning starting points are 30 IPM for smaller lines, 60 IPM for core intermediates, and higher targets once your upstream extraction and power are stable.

Can I use this as a base planner or factory layout planner?

Yes. Use the visual planner for machine counts and throughput, then cross-check Base Core placement with the Base Core guide, factory layout guide, and interactive map. That split is usually more reliable than forcing one tool to answer every layout question.

Where can I find Blueprints?

Blueprints are located at specific outposts and research bases across the lunar map. Use the blueprint hub and interactive map together to cross-check route notes, danger level, and whether the answer is community-mapped or corporation-gated.

How do I get Helium-3?

Helium-3 is usually tied to eastern or northeastern vent routes on the current planner baseline. Use the map and Helium-3 guide together, then cross-check the Extractor unlock on your terminal before you scale the full line into Glass, Synthetic Silicon, or Chemicals.

Can I share my production plans?

Yes. Save a named plan in the calculator and it stays in this browser. Use the share button when you want a link someone else can open.

Update 2 Live Baseline

StarRupture Planner

StarRupture planner, build planner, production planner, base planner, and factory layout routes in one place. Start with the visual factory planner, then branch into Base Core, blueprint, and map paths that match your current bottleneck.

Update 2 is live, with 0.3.5 as the latest checked hotfix. Read the Update 2 status. Calculator recipes stay on the last verified dataset, map routes are community-mapped, and expensive progression claims should still be cross-checked on your save.

Current Update 2 coverage

Update 2 has been live since 2026-09-02. The latest checked hotfix is 0.3.5.

Fabricator v.2 and Furnace v.2 recipes from the wiki tables checked on 2026-10-10 are available as an alternate calculator set. Other production recipes stay on the dataset verified before Update 2. Calcium Powder v.2 is low confidence because the machine page and the item page disagree on the Calcium Block input. Corporation reward levels, terminal points, and delivery bundles remain the last tables transcribed from the public Wiki. Update 2 announced a Base Core upgrade cost rebalance, so those costs stay on the last verified table until a current source confirms the new numbers.

Community-mapped routes, blueprint placements, controller fixes, and server workarounds can drift between hotfixes. Cross-check high-risk details on your save before committing to a long run or config change, and cross-check on your save whenever a route or unlock feels off.

Start Here by Goal

Planner, map, blueprint, machine, and corporation routes belong together. Pick the answer path that matches the blocker in your current run instead of browsing everything at once.

Need a build planner or production planner?

Start in the planner when the problem is throughput, machine count, factory ratios, or MW power scaling.

Open the factory planner

Need a base planner or Base Core layout?

Use the Base Core path when the real blocker is starter base placement, expansion radius, or safe rail corridors around your core.

Need blueprint routes?

Need machine unlocks?

Need corporation progression?

Initializing production planner...

What is the StarRupture Planner?

The StarRupture Planner is a free visual production chain designer built specifically for StarRupture players. Unlike simple calculators, this planner uses an interactive node graph to show how machines connect in your factory.

Each node represents a production step - from ore excavators mining resources to fabricators crafting components. The planner automatically calculates how many machines you need and the total power consumption.

Whether you're planning your first StarRupture factory or optimizing a massive production complex, this planner saves hours of manual calculation. Just select your target item, set the production rate, and let the planner generate the complete factory layout.

How to Use the StarRupture Planner

Select Target Item

Choose which StarRupture item you want to produce from the dropdown menu.

Set Production Rate

Enter your desired items per minute (IPM) for accurate machine calculations.

Generate Chain

Click "Generate Chain" to create a visual node graph of your production line.

Analyze & Share

Review power and machine counts, then share your plan with a shareable URL.

These figures come from the current machine and recipe records. Node purity changes excavator output, so read the live tooltip before you lock a machine count.

Ore node purityExtraction

Pure

Ore Excavator is 5 MW at Training Level 2. The current wiki note lists 60, 120, or 240 per minute for impure, normal, and pure nodes.

Smelter barsProcessing

Ore in

Bars / min

Titanium Bar and Wolfram Bar each consume 2 ore and produce 2 bars at 60 per minute. Count smelters from the live node output.

Wolfram Powder is a Furnace recipe

The current table makes Wolfram Powder in a Furnace: 1 Wolfram Bar becomes 3 powder at 90 per minute. It is not a Crusher recipe.
