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.

g Should Coal even be space minalbe?

Coal is a biological material created underground, I don't think it actually makes much sense for it to be accessible from asteroid mining (directly).

1) You need coal to launch rockets, so you need to get coal or else the mod doesn't actually provide infinite ore.

2) Hydrocarbons can also be formed in space, in liquid and solid forms, which could be equivalent enough to those derived from biological sources to be suitable for manufacturing purposes.
