What Are Data Points & How to Use Them (StarRupture Progression)
DP converts loot into tech: Analyze → Spend. No gacha—pure grind.

|---|---|---|---|
| Unlock Recipes/Upgrades | Recipe Station | 30-100 | High (food, tools, turrets) |
| Corp Milestones/Contracts | Corporate Terminal | 50-69,700 | Medium (Moon Energy > Griffiths Blue) |
| Launch Substitutes | Orbital Launcher | Varies | Late-game scaling |
Tip: Recipes first—DP scarcity early.

Best Items to Analyze: DP Yields Table (Max Farm 2026)
Prioritize non-craftable/renewable loot. Values from the community DB.
| Item | Source | DP per Item/Bundle | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ignitium | Post-Rupture (orange glow/smoke) | 2000 (5 bundles) | BiS—disintegrates fast! |
| Broken Tech/Artifacts/Wreckage | POIs, drones, bodies, ruins | 400-2000+ | Rare, high variance |
| Meteorite Cores/Hearts | Meteors post-Rupture | 100-500+ | Pair w/ Ignitium |
| Glowcap | Underground caves (post-Rupture) | 90 | Caves close—rush 2+/cycle |
| Spider Sacs/Vermin Samples | Kill bugs | 20-100 | Everywhere, renewable |
| Rare Plants (Serpent Root, Star Tears) | Flora | 20+ | Avoid commons (5 DP—food > DP) |
| Common Organics | Trees/plants | 5 | Last resort |
Total: 5-250 DP/item avg.
How to Farm Data Points Fast: Top Strategies (Rupture Meta)
1. Post-Rupture Rush (5k+ DP/Cycle) – BEST
- HUD meter → Rupture hits (planet-wide event).
- Immediately post-wave: Grab Ignitium (glow piles) and meteorites.
- Beeline caves for Glowcap (2-3 before close).
- Analyze haul at station. Cycle: 5k+ DP.
2. Vermin Hunting + POI Looting
- Kill spiders/bugs → sacs/samples.
- Scavenge abandoned bases/drones for tech (400-2k DP).
- starrupture.tools/map for POIs.
3. Orbital Launches (Late-Game Infinite)
- Corp Terminal → View commissions (e.g., Titanium Bars).
- Factory produce → Orbital Cargo Launcher → Launch for DP.
- Scales w/ production—sub DP for mats.
Pro Tips:
- Base near caves/POIs (Central Valley).
- Co-op: Split farming.
- Avoid analyzing craftables (e.g., food).
