For my Factorio friends out there, this sounds like grounds for a mod that let's you "mine" nutrients in space
This is roughly a thing in Space Age!
Really? Can you make spoilage somehow?
In unmodded Factorio, there is no way to make spoilage and nutrients soley from asteroid mining.
Spoilage is a thing in Factorio now
The space version of this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SeaBlock
There is one already: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/spaceblock
