Saturdays are for putting your hand in a bucket of ice, swallowing a mouthful of honey and lemon, and breathing a sigh of relief. All that practice you put into your welcome handshake and 'Here comes trouble!' paid off. Almost every member of the treehouse has been successfully greeted home.

All bar one. But I'll get him. I'll get him good.

Players roaming in StarRupture

Having multiple bases in StarRupture is essential as you march on to access the Forgotten Engine, but they can also be taken away from you.

Once you have several bases, it's impossible to keep track of all. When aliens attack your base and you can't protect it, the core gets infected. Thankfully, you can also fix infected base cores by repairing them.

How to fix an infected Base Core in StarRupture

To begin the process, you'll first have to identify the infected base core. This part is pretty easy since an infected base core will have a blue glow. The confusing part is the fact that both the infection and the base core will have the same appearance.

Once you spot the infection, shoot at it until it's destroyed. I have yet to find an infected core with multiple infections on it. However, an infected core can have more than one infection (theoretically). If that happens, you'll have to clear all the infections to restore your base.

Once the infection is clear, your base and all its parts will start to heal. Once they've healed completely, the base will resume its normal operations, and it will no longer have the blue appearance. Press the E button after approaching the base to complete the eradication process.

How to prevent infected base cores in StarRupture

Once you've removed the infection from a base, it can again get infected. Aliens will respawn and continue attacking it. If you can't defend your base while it's being attacked, it will become infected once again.

The only viable way to protect a base is by setting up automated defense systems. Once you upgrade the Griffits Blue Corporation, it will unlock the Defense Tower and the Defense Turret. While the Defense Turret is easier to build, it requires manual ammo refills. The Defense Tower is the only fully automated system that doesn't require any manual refills. Try to set them up in all your bases, unless you want to remove the infections manually (it becomes a chore after a certain point).
