Asteroids

Asteroids are resources in the lategame that need to be detected by Space Probe Parts and transported back to Earth by Asteroid Booster Parts to extract the resources.

Discovery

To discover an asteroid, players need to launch space probe parts into orbit using a rocket. The default orbit can store up to 360 (editable). When someone is stationed on the space station, it is possible to spend 40 space probe parts on the "Asteroid" interface on the "Space" page to discover an asteroid. The maximum number of asteroids that can be tracked simultaneously is 14. To discover more asteroids, you need to click to stop tracking (which is equivalent to wasting some space probe parts) or transport them back to Earth.

Resources

Asteroids may contain resources such as: Rock Iron Ore Copper Ore Quartz Titanium Ore Gold Ore The same asteroid can contain up to two types of resources at the same time. Asteroids typically range in size from 40 to 90, with larger sizes containing more resources. The rarity of asteroid resources is as follows: rocks>iron and copper>quartz>titanium>gold.

Transportion

Players need to use Asteroid Booster Parts to transport asteroids back to Earth. When there are people on the space station, boosters can be installed on discovered asteroids within the asteroid interface. The larger the size of an asteroid, the more boosters are needed. The smallest asteroid requires 240 boosters, while the largest one can reach 960 boosters. After the booster is successfully installed, the asteroid will be transported into Earth's orbit after a period of time. At this time, the asteroid will be displayed as "ready" and a landing location can be selected on the map. At this point, a crosshair and two circles will appear, with the inner circle representing the size of the asteroid and the outer circle indicating the impact range caused by the asteroid's fall. After clicking "Transport Asteroid", the asteroid can be dropped onto the home island. WARNING: The asteroid's fall will destroy all buildings and vehicles within its impact range, so the landing site must be carefully planned to avoid losses!
