How To Use LEM In StarRupture
You unlock LEM modules, see the station, and then nothing seems to happen. The system does work, but only in a very specific way.
How LEM Works In StarRupture
LEM in StarRupture uses installable modules. These modules are not consumables and are not meant to stay in your inventory.
LEM modules must be installed directly into the LEM station to function.
How To Install LEM Modules
LEM modules are installed through a simple drag and drop system. There is no button or confirmation popup.
Open the LEM station interface
Look for empty slots without a padlock
Drag the LEM module into an open slot
Once placed, leave the module there. It is now active.
Common Mistake With LEM
Many players assume the module needs to stay in their inventory. That is incorrect.
If the module is removed from the LEM station, it stops working. The station itself holds and activates the module.
Why It Feels Like LEM Does Nothing
LEM has no visible animation or obvious feedback. If the module is installed correctly, it works silently in the background.
This makes it feel broken, even when it is functioning.
Sharing LEM Effects In Co Op
LEM modules installed in a shared session apply to the world. This is why one player may have access while another does not.
To give another player the same benefits, the module must be installed in the LEM station, not held by one person.
Locked LEM Slots Explained
Some slots show a padlock icon. These slots cannot be used yet.
They unlock later through progression. Only empty slots without a lock are usable.
Final Blurb
LEM works through installed modules, not inventory items. Drag the module into an unlocked slot on the LEM station and leave it there. Once installed, it works quietly in the background, even though the game never tells you that.
