Hardening Agent
By StarRupture Data Team · Patch-checked against in-game values
Hardening Agent is a resources entry with 1 craft route, mainly in Furnace. It supports 4 downstream chains, including Dome, Lens, and Liquid Helium. Use this page to compare recipe inputs, required buildings, and throughput before expanding your factory lines.
Crafting is available through 1 route with Furnace as the primary workbench. It is consumed by 4 downstream chains such as Dome, Lens, and Liquid Helium. Validate building count, power draw, and byproduct flow before scaling.

Production Notes
Primary throughput comes from Furnace, with peak single-route output around 30 per minute. Common upstream feeds include Sulphuric Acid, Synthetic Silicon, and Applicator, so buffer coverage and transport stability matter more than raw machine count.
Current demand spans 4 downstream chains, including Dome, Lens, and Liquid Helium. Use calculator presets to align targets, supporting machines, and power budget before expanding new branches.
Optimization Checklist
Scale in stages: secure input flow first, lock throughput in Furnace, then expand output modules. Expanding too early usually shifts bottlenecks from crafting speed to transport and grid stability.
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.
- Benchmark output in Furnace and monitor power draw per additional machine.
- Track upstream dependencies (Sulphuric Acid, Synthetic Silicon, and Applicator) and keep a fallback route for the highest-risk material.
- Validate downstream demand from Dome, Lens, and Liquid Helium so expansion stays demand-driven.

Hardening Agent Planning FAQ
How do you make Hardening Agent in StarRupture?
Hardening Agent is produced through 1 recipe, with Furnace acting as the main production building in this dataset. Start from the listed inputs, confirm per-minute throughput, then open the calculator preset before scaling the chain.
What is Hardening Agent used for in StarRupture?
Hardening Agent currently feeds 4 downstream recipes, including Dome, Lens, and Liquid Helium. Review those outputs before raising target throughput so demand stays aligned with production.
What should you check before scaling Hardening Agent?
Validate input flow from Sulphuric Acid, Synthetic Silicon, and Applicator, confirm machine uptime, and compare expected versus actual output before duplicating the line. Stable buffers matter more than raw machine count when this item feeds larger chains.
