Journey through the entire history of computing and build artificial superintelligence from the ground up in this idle tycoon simulation. Start in the Mainframe Era with nothing but vacuum tubes and punch cards. Produce electricity, harvest raw data, refine silicon, and fabricate your first circuits. As you progress, research groundbreaking technologies like transistors, compilers, and networking to unlock new computing eras. FIVE ERAS OF COMPUTING Progress from Mainframes to Minicomputers, Personal Computers, the Internet Age, and finally the AI Era. Each era introduces new buildings, resources, crafting recipes, and workers. DEEP CRAFTING SYSTEM Combine raw materials into advanced components. Process data, fabricate circuits, compile compute cycles, forge neural cores, train model weights, entangle quantum bits, and ultimately synthesize superintelligence. BUILD YOUR TECH EMPIRE Construct 18 unique buildings from Power Generators and Punch Card Readers to Data Centers, GPU Racks, Quantum Labs, and the Superintelligence Forge. Each building produces resources automatically while you are away. RESEARCH 20+ TECHNOLOGIES Explore a branching tech tree spanning Basic Computing, Assembly Language, Integrated Circuits, Object-Oriented Programming, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Transformers, LLMs, Quantum Computing, and more. HIRE AND MANAGE WORKERS Recruit Operators, Technicians, Researchers, Engineers, Miners, and Network Admins to automate production across your growing empire. PRESTIGE AND LEGACY When you are ready, prestige to earn Legacy Code and unlock powerful permanent upgrades like Inherited Knowledge, Ancestral Algorithms, and Singularity Echo. COLLECT RARE ARTIFACTS Unlock collectible artifacts as you hit milestones, from the humble Vacuum Tube to the legendary Singularity Crystal. DAILY QUESTS AND EVENTS Complete daily and weekly challenges for bonus rewards. Watch for special limited-time events like Data Rush and Quantum Storm. EARN WHILE OFFLINE Your machines keep producing even when you close the app. Come back to collect your earnings and push closer to the singularity. An idle clicker you can enjoy anytime. Free to play. No internet required.

Tap an asteroid. Build a mining empire. Then destroy it — 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 Twenty-six machines, from a rickety Drone Hangar to the Terminus Drillhead. Each one runs its own harvest cycle — watch the bars fill, watch the ore land. Every 10 you own doubles that machine'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's the prestige above 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 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. One optional ad, and only if you want it: watch a Supply Drop for double production for four hours. No banners, no interstitials, nothing that interrupts play. No energy timers, no countdown "offers". Just numbers going up, forever.
