Propulsion Stage
By StarRupture Data Team · Patch-checked against in-game values
Propulsion Stage is a resources entry with 1 craft route, mainly in Facturer. Downstream demand is currently limited, so reserve-first planning is usually safer than aggressive expansion. Use this page to compare recipe inputs, required buildings, and throughput before expanding your factory lines.
Crafting is available through 1 route with Facturer as the primary workbench. Downstream demand is currently low, so prioritize balanced storage and transport over overproduction. Validate building count, power draw, and byproduct flow before scaling.

Production Notes
Primary throughput comes from Facturer, with peak single-route output around 3 per minute. Common upstream feeds include Pressure Tank, Rocket Engine, and Valve, so buffer coverage and transport stability matter more than raw machine count.
Downstream demand is currently narrow. Keep reserve targets conservative and scale only when a new production route needs sustained output.
Optimization Checklist
Scale in stages: secure input flow first, lock throughput in Facturer, then expand output modules. Expanding too early usually shifts bottlenecks from crafting speed to transport and grid stability.
Because downstream usage is limited, controlled stockpiling usually outperforms aggressive expansion. Reassess demand after each unlock or late-game rebalance.
- Set a clear target rate before adding machines, then size input buffers to absorb short-term supply variance.
- Benchmark output in Facturer and monitor power draw per additional machine.
- Track upstream dependencies (Pressure Tank, Rocket Engine, and Valve) and keep a fallback route for the highest-risk material.
- Validate downstream demand before each expansion step to avoid dead stock and unnecessary power spend.

Propulsion Stage Planning FAQ
How do you make Propulsion Stage in StarRupture?
Propulsion Stage is produced through 1 recipe, with Facturer 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 Propulsion Stage used for in StarRupture?
Propulsion Stage has limited downstream usage in the current dataset. Keep reserve production conservative until another chain requires stable demand.
What should you check before scaling Propulsion Stage?
Validate input flow from Pressure Tank, Rocket Engine, and Valve, 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.
