Starvester

You manage a factory spread across a star system, deploying drones to mine planets and gather the resources needed to expand your operation. Use those resources to unlock upgrades, develop planetary production, and manage how drones are assigned. The incremental loop combines automated gathering with occasional direct actions, such as clicking asteroids. As the campaign progresses, new planets, systems, and resources become available. Prestige resets provide another route to upgrades, while factory expansion leads toward megastructures and harvesting stellar power.

Grow a star-system factory by assigning drone swarms to mine resources, unlocking upgrades, and building space megastructures.
