How to Find Hydration in StarRupture

by

If you want to survive for long on the harsh planet of StarRupture, you’ll need a few essential things. First, learn how to power your base – it’s key to building a livable life.

In any survival game, finding water is essential. It’s vital for life, and your character will quickly become dehydrated and die without it.

Fortunately, finding water isn’t too hard in StarRupture. You might have even passed by some without noticing while you were busy escaping creatures or looking for plants.

Obtaining Hydrating Food

Staying hydrated in StarRupture is easy – you can simply eat food! Since the game is set in the future, there are plenty of food options available that will also replenish your character’s hydration levels.

When I first landed on this planet, my ship had a little storage container waiting for me. Inside, I found some Survival Food Packs, which are a lifesaver! They only give you 35 hydration, which isn’t a ton, but it’s enough to keep me going at the start.

You can also find food and drinks by exploring old, ruined bases scattered across the map. These abandoned outposts once belonged to explorers who weren’t able to finish their journeys.

You’ll find lots of debris, containers, and bins around here. Be sure to search through them – they might contain food and drinks to help you stay hydrated.

Once I unlocked the Food Station by upgrading my base, I could start crafting my own food there. It’s a really useful way to keep my energy up!

Look for Hydrobulbs

Hydrobulbs are a great way to keep your character hydrated. These bright blue, bulb-shaped plants grow on long, green stems and are usually found near water sources.

Look for these plants near the edges of ponds and lakes. Their unique color makes them stand out, even from far away.

Hydrobulbs usually grow in clusters of four to nine. While they don’t provide much hydration – only 15 points – they’re much easier to find than most food sources near campsites.

Consuming Water

StarRupture doesn’t clearly explain how to drink water, which can be frustrating for new players. To access your inventory and drink, simply press the TAB key.

Select the ‘use’ option to have your character drink the item, restoring hydration. You can see your current hydration level, along with other stats, on the left side of your inventory screen.

When your character becomes dehydrated, the water droplet icon in the lower-left corner of the screen will turn red, and you’ll begin to take damage over time.
