Idle Space Mining vs Idle Stars

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.

Begin with one quiet world and turn it into an empire among the stars. Idle Stars is an incremental strategy game about connected systems. Build solar arrays, mines, laboratories, habitats, and spaceports. Balance five resources, research technologies that change how your economy works, and install AI Directors to automate each world while you are away. When your first planet is no longer enough, launch explorers into a living galaxy. Colonize new worlds, connect them into sectors, and meet civilizations with their own histories and strengths. Open talks, send envoys, or bring the fleet—the choices you make shape the empire and what the galaxy remembers. Eventually, growth reaches its limit. Trigger a supernova, carry stardust and permanent upgrades into a fresh universe, and push farther on every cycle. FEATURES • A layered idle economy built around energy, minerals, science, population, and influence • Research paths and automation that transform how worlds grow • A galaxy map with exploration, travel, colonization, and sectors • Civilizations that can be approached through diplomacy or force • Supernova resets with lasting progression • Offline progress and optional local notifications • Game Center achievements • Optional iCloud document sync between your Apple devices • Universal support for iPhone and iPad • No ads and no subscription The complete game is free. The optional Supporter Pack permanently unlocks three styles for planets, ships, and the app icon. You can also buy one hour of ×2 production: the timer runs in real time, even while the app is closed, and the multiplier never stacks above ×2. The optional Stellar Charter permanently multiplies all production by ×1.5, in every run.
