## What is Idle Space Mining?

Tap an asteroid. Build a mining empire. Then collapse it into a singularity 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
Twelve generators, from a rickety Mining Drone to a Reality Engine. Each runs its own harvest cycle — watch the bars fill, watch the ore land. Every 10 you own doubles that generator'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 is the prestige above the 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 harvest 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.

EARN WHILE YOU SLEEP
Your colony keeps mining when the app is closed. Come back to a pile.

BUILT TO RESPECT YOU
No ads. No energy timers. No countdown "offers". No loot boxes. Nothing ever stops you playing and asks for money to continue — play as long as you like, for free. Purchases are optional, permanent, and say exactly what they give you.

Just numbers going up, forever.
