I don't see a size limit on planetoids. Do I understand correctly that I could craft a 100 liter planetoid boatlet, or by extension a cat-sized planetoid robot? Not sure what I'd do with a rock that small, but I'm just checking.

With the current High Guard, five tonne minimum.
Anything lower, try Robots or Vehicles.

OK so unarmored planetoidesimal suffer a 20% loss due to the hull material, armored devote 50% of the hull volume. The hull is cheap, the mass and volume penalty imposes costs once you start making it mobile. There are general classes of these objects nickle-iron fully differientated, in other words a 100% Ni-Fe alloy body, next is the partially differientated Ni-Fe mixed with lithic materials, all molten at some point and then cooled and cryatalized slowly. Next up is the fully lithic materials, all rock in one solid chunk. Then we have lithic fragments embedded in a matrix of ices, and finally a solid chunk of various ices.

Well, planetoid hulls do involve going back to the "Stone Age" ...
