Astronomics

Questions before buy
- Is there some sort of Endless Progression, or, game ends when some objective are done?
- After I see some let's plays; Is there is always a time limit?

Hello!

The game will be launching with the first 3 regions which contain 12 asteroid classes. Each region is controlled by a Cube Corp or one of its subsidiaries and those give you contracts to complete, tools to unlock, upgrades to buy etc.

The number of things to "complete" will end, but you can continue playing endlessly doing runs into the asteroid belt and building up your Cube Credits (for future upgrades) + Earth Dollars (Towards your life on Earth). We've had folks who played our demo (which only had one region) for 50+ hours.

We are working on a solution for activities between Content Updates to offer something to do between regions opening up but that is not here yet!

Is there always a time limit? Yes - every asteroid has a limited time that it will remain in your mining claim. You can see on the map how fast each asteroid is going and how much longer it will remain. On top of that we will be adding a "Gravity Well" which can be deployed on an asteroid to slow it down. Some asteroids stick around for 40+ minutes, some zoom by in 15 minutes. It is always the players choice which targets they engage with so you can hunt for what suits your play style, but yes the experience is parsed into these "runs" and once you leave an asteroid you take your bots and small equipment with you but leave behind all the cranes, drills and other machinery that you built while you were there.

I would say take your time with it - if you're not certain give us a wishlist and a follow and see if you like the content updates as they arrive. I'll be making short videos to showcase new tools, items and regions as they are added.

Well, I like a games where I can play Endlessly, but to do that, most of the time I need "something" that I can aspire - Endless Upgrades most of the time. +1 here, +10 there.
Like;
+10 max cargo
+1 max energy for a robot
Those kind of Endless Upgrades. Does this game will have something like this?

It currently does not have this capability. It has upgrades that increase cargo etc, but not in the endless fashion that you are mentioning.

I think best bet is to check out some of the youtube coverage and see for yourself if it's an exsperience you would enjoy.

This is a youtube link that aggregates all the videos that have declared Astronomics as the game they are portraying. Hopefully they can shine more light on things.
