Astronomics Free Download

Mine. Automate. Explore

And make money while doing so! Astronomics is an asteroid mining automation game where every operation is temporary, every asteroid is different, and every haul gets you one step closer to home.

Procedurally generated asteroids pass through your mining claim, bringing new opportunities (and challenges) with every expedition. Intercept them with your Freighter, pilot your Shuttle to the surface, and establish an operation before the asteroid moves out of range. Time is Cube Corp Credits, you know.

Find valuable resources, build mining infrastructure, and dispatch Workerbots to transport materials around the asteroid. As your operation grows, automate extraction and logistics to get more done before time runs out. Then bring everything back to your Freighter for manufacturing before selling your goods at Cube Corp.

Build Your Mining Operation

Every asteroid is a new operational puzzle. Explore procedurally generated environments, discover resources, and decide how much infrastructure you can build. And how much you can realistically get out before the asteroid leaves your claim.

• Start by gathering resources yourself, then build toward a fully automated operation.

• Explore passing asteroids and discover their unique resources, properties, and challenges.

• Build mining infrastructure to extract resources while the asteroid is within your claim.

• Deploy Workerbots to transport materials and keep your operation moving.

• Command your bots with your Command bot and organize increasingly complex logistics.

• Automate extraction and transportation to get more resources with less manual work.

• Defend your equipment from the pirates who would rather take your hard-earned resources for themselves.

• Plan around changing conditions as procedurally generated asteroids put your operational skills to the test.

As your mining operation becomes more sophisticated, you'll have to think beyond simply finding resources. What should be automated? Where should your bots go? What equipment is worth bringing? Did you totally forget a Workerbot on that last asteroid? Whoops. Ok, how much can be extracted with the current equipment before the asteroid is gone?

Work Your Way Home

Complete contracts throughout the belt, taking on jobs ranging from data collection and search-and-rescue operations to equipment manufacturing.

Then use your earnings to upgrade your equipment and expand your Freighter. As your gathering capabilities grow, you'll need more manufacturing capacity to process materials. And protect yourself from the pirates who also want your materials.

Explore a vast map of asteroid regions, discover new resources and challenges, expand your operation, and take on increasingly ambitious contracts. But don’t forget to keep your eye on the real prize: a Residency Permit on Earth.

Because Earth isn't home anymore. Well, not yet, anyway. The asteroid belt is where the work is. It's where the money is. And if everything goes according to plan, it's where you'll earn enough to finally come home...for the very first time. Good luck!
