About Idle Space Mining

Developer description, as provided in the original store listing.

Tap an asteroid. Build a mining empire. Then destroy it — and come back stronger.

IDLE SPACE MINING is an idle game about scale. You start hand-mining ore from a bare
rock. You end up rewriting local physics so the ore was always there.

BUILD THE COLONY
Twenty-six machines, from a rickety Drone Hangar to the Terminus Drillhead. Each one
runs its own harvest cycle — watch the bars fill, watch the ore land. Every 10 you own
doubles that machine's output, and every tier lifts the one beneath it.

CHOOSE YOUR DOCTRINE
At each tier you pick ONE of three paths and forfeit the other two. Triple your early
generators, or cut the price of everything, or tighten your milestones. There is no
right answer — and you re-decide every single run.

ASCEND
When growth stalls, collapse the whole colony into a singularity. You lose your ore,
your generators, your tech. You keep DARK MATTER — and every scrap you have ever earned
makes you permanently stronger. Dark Matter is deliberately scarce. Each one matters.

HEAT DEATH
Then there's the prestige above prestige. Let the universe run down, trade everything —
even your Dark Matter — for Star Shards, and buy upgrades that survive the end of
everything.

TAKE ON CHALLENGES
Mine with no hands. Run with triple-length cycles. Build with only three generator
types. Beat one and keep the bonus forever.

CATCH COMETS
Comets drift past while you play. Tap one for a lump of ore or a burst of production.

Good to know.
