You'll want to find the Rotor and Tube blueprints in StarRupture as soon as possible, because they are the cornerstone for several crafting recipes that play a significant role in building up your operations. There are certain items that you can produce from the beginning of this sci-fi factory sim with the right amount of materials, but for others you'll also need unique blueprints before you can get started with them.
The Rotor and Tube are two such items, as they need you to put in the groundwork first before you can start making them. The game doesn't explain where to find blueprints, however, and the planet's surface seems especially barren at first glance. To get you up to speed, here's where to find the Rotor and Tube blueprints in StarRupture.

The StarRupture Rotor and Tube blueprints can be found at an abandoned base to the west of the starting area. You'll see the remnants of a destroyed metal dish sticking out over the cragged cliffs in the distance. That's where you want to go.
It's a dangerous area crawling with Vermin, so bring some weapons and ammo. The starting pistol will do just fine, but some of the stronger Vermin enemies take multiple pistol shots to kill. The Vermin will swarm you as soon as you climb over the cliffside into the base, and they'll keep spawning as long as you're there. You won't have a lot of breathing room, so stay on the move. The Rotor and Tube blueprints are both located inside a two-story building in the back of the base. It's one of the few surviving structures there, so it's hard to miss.
The front door isn't an option since the entrance is blocked, so you'll have to swing around back and climb onto the nearby cliffs so you can reach a hole in the room instead. The Vermin won't be able to reach you inside, so you'll be in relative safety. There are quite a few things to collect inside that building, so take a second to look around and pocket whatever loot you find. The Rotor and Tube blueprints are in a small chest on the ground floor.
Once you've collected both blueprints, make your way out of the base and back to safety. Then, take them back to your base and submit them to the Recipe Station. As long as you also donate the other specified resources, you'll unlock the ability to craft both Rotors and Tubes at your Fabricators.
StarRupture Rotors and Tubes are involved in corporate requests past the first few levels, so you'll have to leave the safety of your base to track down these blueprints eventually. There's no rush, though, so you should at least wait until you've unlocked your first weapons and taken out a few Vermin as target practice.
