📋 About This Mod
Add-on for IR3. Launch mining probes, plunder asteroids and comets, beam ores and ice back to your base.
Industrial Revolution 3: Deep Space Mining is an add-on for the IR3 overhaul that introduces asteroid and comet mining. Players launch probes, plunder celestial bodies, and beam ores and ice back to base. It expands the mid-to-late game with a new resource-gathering loop, though it has no endorsements yet.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 24k downloads show real demand for IR3 expansion content.
- Beaming resources back is a cool QoL twist on traditional mining outposts.
- Fits perfectly with IR3's industrial theme—more automation, more plunder.
⚠️ Cons
- Zero endorsements is a red flag—might be buggy or abandoned.
- Requires IR3, so it's useless if you don't run that overhaul.
- No compatibility info for other mods—expect potential conflicts with similar mining mods.
If you're deep into Industrial Revolution 3 and crave a new resource-gathering challenge, this is for you. It's also for players who enjoy automating asteroid mining without building sprawling outposts. If you're not on IR3, skip it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have IR3 installed and updated before adding this mod.
- Start with a few probes to learn the beam mechanics before scaling up your mining operation.
- Check your logistics network—beaming resources requires good power and signal coverage.
