StarRupture, the new factory simulation and survival game winning over Brazilian players in its early access, places you on the alien planet Arcadia-7 with a dual mission: to automate a factory and, first and foremost, to survive. To do this in January 2026, exploring the map in search of edible plants is not just a detail, but the key to managing vital stats like Calories, Hydration, and Health. Meanwhile, each plant species found offers unique effects and can be combined into powerful recipes, turning resource gathering into a fundamental strategic element. Thus, mastering the location of these plants becomes as important as industrial automation itself.
The game, which is still in active development, features a dynamic “wave” cycle that regenerates the planet’s resources, allowing for re-collection. However, some plants are rare or appear only under specific conditions, requiring player planning. Therefore, mapping efficient spawn points is a huge advantage, especially in a title that can be challenging for beginners to the genre. This guide details the best locations to farm each plant, helping you establish your colony with much more safety and efficiency.
From Basic to Rare: Mapping the Flora of Arcadia-7
Starting with the basics, Polyfruit (the one with the orange carrot appearance) and Hydrobulb are your first allies, responsible for Calories and Hydration. While Polyfruit appears on any grassy area, Hydrobulb prefers the edges of bodies of water. A pool near the Titanium vein in the tutorial is a great initial location. For healing, Stellar Tears and Grubblers (found under giant leaning trees) are essential, even though they increase Toxicity, a dangerous status that triggers adverse effects upon reaching 100%. To reduce it, seek the rare Purplant in dark crevices under cliffs.
Plants like Prickler, common in fields of red flowers, and Glowcap, a wildcard that grants various benefits, offer versatility. However, Glowcap requires more strategy: it only appears in underground caves during the brief period after a wave and before the planet’s full regeneration. Another tactical resource is Serpent’s Spine, which accelerates Stamina regeneration and is found in arid areas. Finally, the most exclusive items are Prism Herb, extremely rare and which enhances other recipes, and Oxallop, collectible in the dry beds of lakes during the “arid” phase post-wave.
Final Tips for Survival
The Sulfur Crown (Sulheart) deserves special attention: easy to locate in yellow sulfur deposits on the map, but difficult to collect, as the area is corrupted when the planet is regenerated. Also, remember that all resources reappear a few minutes after a wave passes, allowing for established farming routes. Therefore, exploring the southeast and northeast of the map will generally yield good variety. As the game is still in early access, this information may be refined, but for now, this knowledge is your best tool to prosper and, who knows, build the most efficient factory on Arcadia-7.
