Mod Guide



This mod is used as follows:

After you have completed the necessary research (see Research Chart), you can build the new workstations. Using the AstroTec Console, you can build an AstroMiner (this requires a Chassis; made of metallic "stuff" and a command module; made of Steel & Plasteel). Using the AstroTec Console, you can "launch" an AstroMiner. You will gain 3 AstroCrates and 1 chunk of Debris.

5 AstroCrates (2 Mining trips) can be refined into either Steel or Gold using the Micro-Refinery. The debris can be refined into Plasteel.

You can also "send" an AstroMiner to harvest a Micro-Nebula or Cryovolcano. This will produce 3 canisters of M2-9 ionized gas or 3 Crates of Cryomagma. Using the AstroTec Beacon, 5 of these canisters can be sold for Silver. 5 Cryomagma Crates can be traded for Plasteel.

Finally, using the AstroTec Micro-Refinery you can recycle excess Apparel (3 items) into usable Cloth, Hyperweave & Synthread. You can also refine raw food into Biofuel, which produces usable Biofuel (used in the Biogenerator) and Biogas, which can be sold (via the AstroTec Beacon) for silver.
