Asteroids are controlled by Drovak warriors, and are known to be the home of a valuable resource called plutonium. This plutonium can be mined every 20 minutes, and sold off for money. Bedrock on an asteroid signifies that the plutonium is currently regenerating and cannot be mined.
These are the stages of a plutonium block found on an asteroid.
Mining on an asteroid can be quite the challenge. Drovak warriors will protect the plutonium as much as they can, attacking you if you get close to them. Their attacks can vary from being hit with an axe, or launching a fireball at you. Regardless, they are extremely dangerous.
Drovak warriors will protect the asteroid by attacking you at close range.
