Astronomics

Astronomics is an asteroid-mining automation game. You intercept procedurally generated asteroids with your Freighter, pilot your Shuttle to their surfaces and set up temporary operations before they move out of range. Each asteroid has different resources, properties and challenges, so you decide what infrastructure to bring and how much you can extract in time.

Build your operation

You begin by gathering resources yourself, then build mining infrastructure and deploy Workerbots to move materials. As your operation grows, you can automate extraction and transport, using your Command bot to direct the bots and organize more complex logistics. You also defend your equipment from pirates who try to take your resources, and adapt your plans to changing conditions.

Resources and equipment must be brought back to your Freighter for manufacturing before you sell the goods at Cube Corp. You can upgrade your equipment and expand the Freighter, including its manufacturing capacity, as your gathering operation grows. Choosing what to automate, where to send bots and what equipment to bring helps determine how much you can recover before an asteroid leaves your claim.

Contracts and the journey home

You complete contracts throughout the asteroid belt, including data collection, search-and-rescue operations and equipment manufacturing. Earnings let you improve your equipment and expand your operation as you explore a vast map of asteroid regions, discover resources and take on increasingly ambitious jobs. Your goal is to earn a Residency Permit on Earth and make your way home.
