Now that you’ve made it to a new planet called Arcadia-7 in StarRupture, your main objective is to find and send a bunch of valuable information and materials back to Earth. This is shown to you extensively in the tutorial, where you use the Orbital Cargo Launcher to gain levels.
As you send over more items to different corporations, you can get better structures and progress your game. However, to do all that, ores are the key components since most of the items are produced with these. There are five types of ores in the game, and here’s how you can easily find and extract each one.
StarRupture is in an Early Access state at the moment, and everything mentioned in this article is subject to change.
How To Find And Extract Wolfram
Wolfram is one of the two early-game ores that you’ll likely start extracting during the tutorial already, and it’s also very common in the map. This is a copper-like ore that has brown-colored veins, and you can easily identify them with a small archway in the middle of the vein, which also has the brown-colored ore on it.
To extract this ore, you’ll have to build an Ore Excavator on top of one of the flat veins on the ground. You can also harvest it with your mining tool from any of the veins. Smaller chunks of Wolfram ore can sometimes be found on the ground, and they can also be identified easily by their distinct brown color. Harvesting these gives you a bunch of ore at the same time.
Apart from the Excavator, you’ll also need a power generation structure to start the ore mining, and the two structures have to be connected either with other platforms or rails.
Apart from the initial Wolfram vein near the Orbital Lander, you can also find a big group of them a bit to the north and northeast of the starting location. Another decent-sized vein can be found to the far north of the map from the lander.

How To Find And Extract Titanium
Titanium is the second ore that’ll get introduced to you during the tutorial, and you’ll likely already start mining it using the Ore Excavator. The Titanium veins are much smaller in size compared to Wolfram, especially when you look at the map. However, they can be found in a lot more places.
These veins can be identified by their rocky structure and gray color. Apart from the starting area, you can easily find a bunch of these to the north or northeast of the map from the Orbital Lander. When looking at the map, you can identify these veins by looking for a gray circle or a group of them.
Outside of the veins, you can also get a bunch of Titanium from small gray-colored rocks on the ground or by destroying meteorites.
How To Find And Extract Calcium
Calcium will be the first ore that you won’t start extracting for free during the tutorial. Instead, you’ll have to explore and find its veins to place an Ore Excavator on. It’s also the last ore you’ll be able to mine with the Excavator. To find Calcium veins, you need to look for damp areas with white structures around them that have the same texture as teeth.
You can easily find a couple of these just to the north and east of the starting area, with a bigger set of veins as you move northeast and go through some mountains. Much like Wolfram and Titanium, you can find small white-colored rocks with black spots in them and harvest them to get a few Calcium ores.
How To Find And Extract Helium-3
Helium-3 is a mid-game ore item that you might start getting in the early-game itself, but you won’t be able to properly farm it for a while. You can easily find some Helium-3 rocks with purple gas coming out of them on the ground or within meteorites. This will give you a decent bit of the item, but you won’t need it for anything in the early game.
However, if you want to start farming Helium-3, you’ll have to look for some purple-colored geysers in specific locations on the map. There aren’t a lot of these, and one of the locations is already taken by an abandoned base, which prevents you from farming Helium-3 in that location.
You can find Helium-3 geysers in the far north and far east of the Orbital Lander. Furthermore, a triple geyser can be found by first moving northeast till you notice the big Calcium vein and then going further north from it. To extract Helium-3, you’ll first have to level up your Selenian Corporation to a whopping level six.
How To Find And Extract Sulfur
Sulfur is the final ore you’ll have to farm in StarRupture, and it also adds an extra step to the regular ore farming. Sulfur will be the only ore that you can’t find scattered around the map in the form of some rocks, which means that you basically won’t have any of it until you start mining it.
Sulfur veins are the most obvious of the five, as the area around them will have a corrosive air that will damage you if you go in. You can also see these being highlighted in bright yellow on the map. To farm these, you’ll first have to unlock the Sulfur Extractor by reaching level nine on the Selenian Corporation.
Even after getting the extractor, you’ll have to wait for the right moment to make yourself a Sulfur farm. You won’t be able to place these extractors on the veins when the air is still corrosive. Hence, you have to visit them just after a rupture, as soon as the high temperatures go away. You’ll then be able to place a Sulfur Extractor and start mining the ore.
