Industrial Revolution 3: Deep Space Mining

Deep space mining is where rocket launching technology and quantum transmaterialisation converge, allowing you to extract resources from space. Instead of transporting engineers, cargo transmats connect to deep space mining probes, which are launched into space by rockets. Probes require significant investment to launch, but once launched, they last forever. Every launched probe joins the swarm and explores the local solar system, collecting resources. The more probes you launch, the bigger your daily haul.
