No need to memorize all this; at all times controls are shown at the top right.


Secret extra info

Take the rotation of the planet in mind when launching!

Robots always launch from the launchpad on earth and from their location on the planet!


Robot steering

You can somewhat steer the robots in space. Try to course correct using WASD
Tricky at first, powerful when mastered. It would be a shame if you lose your precious resource right?

Returning home

After a robot has finished mining, or you need it to return, select the robot and press the launch button again.


Oh no, everything falls apart, lemme restart

When faced with salvageable states, retry the level using the restart button.

This takes ages...

Tired of waiting? There is a speed up game drop down hidden underneath the restart level button, see if you can find it! :D
(unfortunately only clickable in solar system overview due to a nasty bug 🪳)
