Asteroid

Asteroids are the first method of metal production and allow early players to generate the metal they need to build the Solar Panel and Automatic Mine, thus they are the only required step in gameplay that is not automated / idle production. Asteroids form randomly and appear from the left and right sides of your screen in the sky. Clicking on an asteroid will initially reward 5 metal, your second click will reward 10 metal, and your third and final click will reward 15 metal and destroy what is left of the asteroid. Asteroids can be upgraded to reap more benefits many times more than their base metal with Research.
