A rough trip through the asteroid belt has knocked out your main thruster and your navigational computer!
Your tiny space ship has limited space to store supplies, so you'll have to put on your space suit and go out to collect resources from the asteroids in order to build replacement parts. Watch your oxygen levels! Take your suit off when you don't need it! Keep your shield charged to protect the ship.
When you've built a new thruster and a new navigational computer, you can fly back to base for proper repairs!

* Oxygen depletes as long as you're wearing your suit.
* Use the switch on the top level to exit the ship.
* Capture asteroids and carry them back to the hatch to collect resources.
* Space is limited: Click items in your inventory to jettison them.
* Asteroids that hit your ship will deal damage!
* Use the stations to refine resources and build components.
* Most crafting requires hydrogen fuel.
* Combine four Thruster Parts to replace the Thruster.
* Combine four Circuit Boards to replace the NavComp.
* Build a Thruster and a NavComp to win!

The version of the game that I published during the submission hour turns out to have a gamebreaking bug that prevents the victory message from being displayed. Not that it matters -- it was also impossibly hard because I didn't do a good job of tuning the game balance.
The postjam version posted below makes the following changes:
* Fixed victory message
* Rebalanced the frequency of different rock types
* Fixed hitboxes on rocks
* Balanced Hydrogen and Oxygen rates by increasing the Water yield from the Melt operation
* Made crafting recipes remain visible at all times
