Grubbler
By StarRupture Data Team · Patch-checked against in-game values
Grubbler is a consumables resource gathered directly in StarRupture and routed into production chains. It supports 5 downstream chains, including Antidote Gel, Aqua Gel, and Calorie Gel. Eat for effects. Heal 30 HP. Gain 10 Toxicity. Use this page to compare recipe inputs, required buildings, and throughput before expanding your factory lines.
Grubbler cannot be crafted directly and must be sourced from upstream gathering and logistics loops. It is consumed by 5 downstream chains such as Antidote Gel, Aqua Gel, and Calorie Gel. Validate building count, power draw, and byproduct flow before scaling.

Production Notes
This entry is sourced upstream, so throughput planning starts with extraction reliability and transport capacity. Keep reserve storage close to consuming lines to absorb demand spikes.
Current demand spans 5 downstream chains, including Antidote Gel, Aqua Gel, and Calorie Gel. Use calculator presets to align targets, supporting machines, and power budget before expanding new branches.
Optimization Checklist
Treat this as a supply-line anchor. Prioritize extraction consistency, route redundancy, and short transfer paths before tuning downstream crafting targets.
Rate changes can ripple across multiple downstream products. Re-check ingredient buffers, machine uptime, and line utilization after each adjustment to catch hidden deficits early.
- Set a clear target rate before adding machines, then size input buffers to absorb short-term supply variance.
- Measure extraction and transport throughput first, then map safe delivery capacity for downstream consumers.
- Track upstream dependencies and keep fallback routes for the highest-risk material source.
- Validate downstream demand from Antidote Gel, Aqua Gel, and Calorie Gel so expansion stays demand-driven.

Grubbler Planning FAQ
How do you make Grubbler in StarRupture?
Grubbler is treated as an upstream or sourced material in this dataset. Use the linked downstream recipes to estimate demand, then size extraction and delivery capacity before expanding consumers.
What is Grubbler used for in StarRupture?
Grubbler currently feeds 5 downstream recipes, including Antidote Gel, Aqua Gel, and Calorie Gel. Review those outputs before raising target throughput so demand stays aligned with production.
What should you check before scaling Grubbler?
Check transport reliability, storage buffers, and downstream pull rate before increasing output. This prevents oversupply and keeps the chain easier to rebalance later.
