Asteroid Mining

by Silari

Allows sending rockets into space to mine for asteroid bits, which can be refined into raw materials for infinite ores. Includes all 5 vanilla ores, plus Bob's Ores and Angel's support. Now with partial Krastorio 2 support. Advanced Mode (in beta) allows generating resource patches for mining using gathered materials, with rates based on the ore generation settings of the surface. Support for multiple surfaces is included, along with Space Exploration support.

If you have the time and inclination after doing Bobs & Angels. Would only need a quartz drill and the mixed module re-ratioed. Thank you.

It seems as though the stone miner would work fine, as that can be made into quartz with water.

I can take a look at adding it, though. Next update should add a few one off mod ores anyway.

Done - SiSi-quartz is now an available miner module.

Forgot to put it here, but last update also adds stone to the mixed asteroid for quartz if the mod is installed.

Thanks. I tend to forget the stone-to-quartz production exists after enabling quartz ore patches.
