Space Mining

Hello guys!

Space mining isn’t a very new concept - Extracting resources from asteroids and comets.

However, it’s still can be cosidered as a good source of valuable reources.

Here are my ideas!



Generally, you’ll send mining vessels to the resource fields, and a stream of resource will be provided, until the resource field of the asteroid is depleted.
The resource fields are randomly generated. Each resource field contains one type of extractable resource, amount varies. Some resources requires special classes of mining vessels to extract.
While the mining vessels can be built from Space Mining Operation Facility (SMOF). Better mining vessels requires more resources, and even techs.
New resource fields are generated to replace any resource fields you didn’t work on. Resource fields you’re extracting will not be replaced, it’ll provide resources (extract rate depends on the mining vessel) until it gets depleted or you abandon the extraction operation.

There would be an interface for managing your space mining.
Space Radar will search for at most 5 resource fields available for extraction, you can begin extraction operation among the provided fields.
Extraction Operations List allows you to check the remainding resource in the fields, assigning mining vessels, and options to abandon the field.
Mining Vessel List allows you to construct new vessels, check vessels, and dismantle vessels.


Of course, I’ll share some examples of resource fields.

Resource Fields
Rocky Asteroid - Yields ore
Ice Comet - Yields water
Electronic Scraps - Yields microchip
Metallic Asteroid - Yields steel or antanium
Golden (wrecking?) Ball - Yields gold
Smooth Asteroid - Yields aluminium
Radioactive Rock - Yields Uranium
Crystalline Asteroid - Yields Crystalline
Biomass - Yields food??? Or wood???
Grey Asteroid - Yields regolith
Starship debris - Yields triantanium
Gas Cloud - Yields helium-3
Adrift Ancient Remains - Yields alien artifact or alien relic
Oil Spill - Yields oil
Old Computers - Yields softwares
Roadroller - Yields memes
Adrift Relics - Yields a collectable special relic*


So... How do you guys think?
