Despite a great factory-building tutorial, you're oddly not introduced to StarRupture's survival mechanics like hunger and hydration. It doesn't help that you're stuck on an alien planet, surrounded by weird, unappetising plants that you probably shouldn't consume without thorough research. But when the hunger kicks in, you'll need to scrounge up some food somehow.

In StarRupture, you satiate your hunger by gaining calories. In other words, eating food. But each food item gives you varying amounts of calories, and some can even come with Toxicity. Below, I'll go over what you should look for to combat your hungry tummy.

How to get food in StarRupture

The best way to get food and gain calories early on in StarRupture is to harvest and consume Polifruit, an orange shrub often found in plentiful patches on grassy plains, including around the pond near the starting lander, where they'll respawn regularly. So yes, it's your usual survival game routine of munching on berries for the first few hours.

Once you've gathered a bunch of Polifruit, open your inventory and right-click the item, then select 'use' to eat them, gaining 11 calories.

I recommend researching the following food recipes in the Recipe Station as soon as you can:

Rory has made the fatal error of playing way too many live service games at once, and somehow still finding time for everything in between. Sure, he’s an expert at Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and more, but at what cost? He’s even sunk 1,000 hours into The Elder Scrolls Online over the years. At least he put all those hours spent grinding challenges to good use over the years as a freelancer and guides editor. In his spare time, he’s also an avid video creator, often breaking down the environmental design of his favourite games. If you can’t track him down, he’s probably lost in a cave with a bunch of dwarves shouting “rock and stone” to no end.
