About the game

Build a factory by day, defend it by night. Mine ore, automate it over belts and keep the grid alive, then hold the line with towers your factory feeds and your own ship in the fight. Solo or online co-op for up to 4 players.

Original Steam description

Mineral Zone is a factory-building tower defense game where your production line is your defense. You build by day. When night falls, the Choir tests every belt, every watt and every tower you placed.

Start with a single Mining Laser Tower. 32 days later your base is a web of belts, power lines and towers, and every part of it is your own design.

Place Mining Laser Towers on crystal deposits and watch them carve ore out of the rock. Every deposit runs dry eventually, so where you build decides how long you last.

Route ore over conveyors, splitters, tunnels, inserters and filters. Every load that reaches your Nexus pays for the next building.

Power plants, solar panels, energy nodes and batteries keep the base running. Feed Fluxium into your machines to overclock them. If the grid fails at night, your towers go dark.

Laser, Plasma, Tesla, Railgun, Twin Laser, Air Defence and Repair towers, walls and shield projectors. They all run on the power and ammunition your factory produces. When a line stops, the defense follows.

Your towers can't stop everything alone. Fly your own ship into the battle and call down Orbital Strikes when the zone escalates.

Boss nights bring giant Choir bosses that siege your walls and hunt for every weak spot in your layout.

Drain the rift and collapse it to free this version of Vesper. Or secure your haul and evacuate through VAEL's portal.

Resonance Minerals carry over between missions and power up your towers and ship. Forge permanent blueprints, pick loadout bonuses and drop into a new version of Vesper.

Solo or with up to three friends

Play alone or in online co-op for up to four players. Climb the Steam leaderboards on three difficulty levels and rewatch your runs as replays.
