The official Developer Blog: August 2026 (published 2026-08-05) shares more planned work for StarRupture. It is useful context for players, but it is explicitly a preview, not a live build specification.
Status: planned, not live
When this blog was published, the features below were planned, not live. Update 2 shipped on 2026-09-02. See the Update 2 live page. This preview still does not change recipe, rate, power, unlock, or map numbers.
What the August blog previews
Automatic pillars while placing buildings
The planned Add Pillars option can place support pillars across different height levels.
Automatic Pillar Support height adjustment
The preview shows pillars adjusting to platforms above them; final behavior is still subject to change.
Search in Buildings and Storages
A planned search bar should make it easier to locate a building, item, or recipe in those menus.
Custom Teleporter and Base Core names on the map
The preview shows player-defined names appearing on the map for easier base navigation.
Abandoned Base completion information
The HUD and map may show which rewards remain at an Abandoned Base; this is preview information, not a changed blueprint dataset.
Selected corporation requirements in the Corporate Terminal
The planned terminal view should expose required items for the selected corporation level.
What to use today
Use the Production Calculator, Machine Database, and Interactive Map for the current live baseline. Future mechanics will be reviewed after a release announcement and direct verification.
