How exactly do you mine the meteorites? Is there an event that generates meteorites to fall from the sky?
No new events are added, everything is explained in the Manual. You mine by sending an AstroMiner to an asteroid using the AstroTec Beacon workstation.
Cool little mod :) I really like the way you made it.

Thank you. I have Microsoft visual studio now so I may look into .dll files.
This looks pretty neat, even has some fancy graphics for the workstations.
Hope the manual is detailed, first I've ever seen a Rimworld mod for mining asteroids.
Worth a shot.

I hoped the graphics would have a Fallout look to them. I've tried to be detailed with the manual and cover all aspects of the mod.

- Change the Plasteel need of the buildings and change it into some mineable resources like Silver or Gold. Or reduce the amount of Plasteel.
Plasteel is minable.
Quote from: Canute on October 19, 2014, 06:45:11 AM
Yep it is, but more rare then gold.
Then let at last refine the crates into plasteel. At this way you can have a continous running mining operation and don't need to wait for a trader which may sell plasteel.
You could just suggest for the OP to make it so once you do build the asteroid miner you can eventually have a rare chance you will mine a plasteel asteroid.
Now updated to v1.2. Please read the Changelog.
Glad there's a way to get plasteel now :) thanks for update!
Hoping to see this get updated. Was always such a nice concept for a mod.
Update 1.3 will be coming soon. If there is anything you'd like to see added, please let me know.
Not unless AstroTec wants to add hauling drones to the game!
It'd be nice to have some additional way to gather resources. Map resources are quite so limited these days.
Plus, recycling those high value clothes you get off raiders.
Amen!
Got an ETA for release there Pandora?
Hello. Will V1.3 be for alpha 8 ?

*Incoming Transmission from AstroTec Labs*
AstroTec Labs 2.0 The ARC Update is coming soon. This update will tweak asteroid mining, and allow you to gain resources from other off-world locations. You will be able to communicate directly with ARC and trade resources. The Operations Manual will be replaced with a wiki; detailing all of AstroTec's research, equipment and processes.
