Asteroids are floating minerals found in space. There are four types of asteroids in Space Age: metallic, carbon, oxide and promethium. They are immediately seen when the player is present at a space platform. If a space station is being boosted through space with a thruster, asteroids are encountered much faster. When an asteroid collector is present at a space station, asteroid chunks can be collected for its chunks of resources: metallic, carbonic and oxide.

When traveling through space, the space platform can enter a dangerous asteroid field, where many asteroids can hit the player's platform and destroy it. This means that turrets with well-stocked ammunition and asteroid collectors should be properly placed around a platform to ward off the asteroids.

Asteroids come in following sizes:

• Small - Do not damage the platforms.
• Medium - Damage the platforms by some amount. Split into small asteroids when destroyed.
• Large - Damage the platforms by considerable amount. Split into medium asteroids when destroyed.
• Huge - Can destroy multiple structures. Split into large asteroids when destroyed.
