Nuclear Star Requirements & Materials
Before diving into the process, here’s everything you’ll need to obtain Nuclear Star in AUT 5.0:
| Material | Quantity | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Made in Heaven | 1 | Base stand requirement |
| Refined Camelite | 2 | Craft from Camelite |
| Cosmic Fragments | 2 | Meteorites & Space |
| Lab Key Card | Level 3+ | Reputation grinding |
| Mining Laser | 1 | Crafted item |
How to Get Nuclear Star in A Universal Time (AUT) 5.0 Update?
Step 1: Unlock the Lab System
First things first – I need to access the Khronos Laboratory. Head to the desert area and look for meteorites that randomly spawn. Salvaging these gives you:
- Camelite Fragments (essential for everything)
- Your first Lab Key Card
- Metal Scraps (save these!)
Once you have the key card, enter the lab and talk to the Cafeteria NPC to begin your journey.
Step 2: Understanding Lab Sectors
The lab has three main sectors, each crucial for getting Nuclear Star:
Green Sector (Analytics)
- Exchange materials for Reputation
- Unlock crucial recipes
- Accept quests for bonus rewards
Yellow Sector (Refinery)
- Craft all your materials
- Create the Mining Laser
- Produce Refined Camelite
Red Sector (Gateway)
- Access the Wormhole to space
- Requires highest key card level
- Where the magic happens
Step 3: Reputation Grinding
To access all sectors, I need to upgrade my key card through Reputation. Here’s the fastest way:
- Trade Camelite Fragments at Analytics (best value)
- Return Lost Equipment Crates to Storage NPC
- Complete daily quests from sector overseers
Pro tip: Save some Camelite Fragments – you’ll need them for crafting later!
Step 4: Craft the Mining Laser
With access to the Refinery sector:
- Unlock the Mining Laser recipe in Analytics
- Gather materials: Camelite Fragments + Metal Scraps
- Craft at the Refinery station
This tool is essential for space mining – don’t skip it!
Step 5: Space Dimension Exploration
Enter the Gateway with your Level 3 key card and activate the Wormhole. The space dimension has three biomes:
- Biome 1: Orb collection zone (skip for Nuclear Star)
- Biome 2: Crystal mining area – THIS IS YOUR TARGET Biome 3: Delta materials (save for later)
In Biome 2, I focus on:
- Mining Camelite deposits with the laser
- Fighting crystal golems for rare drops
- Collecting Cosmic Fragments
WARNING: Watch your radiation meter! Leave before it hits 100% or you’ll die and lose progress.
Step 6: Craft the Catalyst
Back at the lab, unlock “Advanced Materials” research in Analytics, then craft:
- Catalyst = 2 Refined Camelite + 2 Cosmic Fragments
This is your ticket to the boss fight, so don’t lose it!
Step 7: The Boss Fight – THE-PREVIOUS || STAR
This is where things get intense. With the Catalyst in your inventory:
- Activate the Wormhole again
- DON’T ENTER – stand on the bridge
- The chamber will ignite, transporting you to a special dimension
- Talk to “Mingo” NPC to spawn the boss
Boss Fight Tips:
- Use Standless for this fight
- All traits and levels are disabled
- You only get ONE chance – fail and you need another Catalyst
- Focus on dodging – the boss hits hard
- Patient gameplay wins here
Step 8: Obtain Nuclear Star
After defeating THE-PREVIOUS || STAR, you’ll receive the Nuclear Core. Simply use this item on Made in Heaven to transform it into Nuclear Star!
