== Overview ==
Welcome '''Shaft Miner''' (or '''Spelunker'''), to the wonderful caverns of this [[Locations|Nanotrasen Claimed Landmass]]. Here, you will break rocks, slay monsters, and die lost and alone in the depths of the caverns.
Being a miner can be slightly boring as of now, but that's how it is.  For a job that is primarily out in space, it's an extremely safe occupation. Just follow a few guidelines here to keep yourself from becoming lost in the mines.
==Workin' In The Coal Mine==
[[File:MiningDock.png|thumb||The [[Locations|Cargo Bay]] is your access to [[Locations|Mining Station]]]]
Being a miner can be somewhat tedious, but you serve a crucial role in the R&D food chain, as well as being able to accrue some decent personal rewards. Just follow a few guidelines here to keep yourself from becoming dead in the mines. ALSO, it is important to note that '''you are able to click more than ONE square of rock at a time''' when mining or digging for sand!  As long as it's accessible, you don't have to wait to finish digging before you start digging again, so you can have several dig jobs running in parallel. Just don't change hands or move until all dig jobs are done and save yourself some time!


=== Your Boss ===
If you run into rock with a pick or drill in your inactive hand, it will automatically start digging for you.
Your superiors are the Head of Personnel, and then the Quartermaster. Generally they won't butt into any of your affairs other than talking over the cargo channel and (if they know what they're doing) attempt to coordinate your efforts for the good of the station. Instead of delivering your minerals yourself try sending them to [[Cargo Bay]] using the connecting conveyor belt.


* You can talk with all of your mining buddies, as well as the other cargo technicians and the all-important Quartermaster, over the cargo channel using ''':u''' or :h.
===Working With Your Boss===
Who is your boss? The Quartermaster. They can watch cameras on Lavaland and have full access to Mining, so keep that in mind. Look busy, respond to wellness checks over radio, and keep the plasma flowing, and you'll get no complaints from them.


=== The Gear ===
==Ores==
The following is a complete list of mining equipment:
{| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible" width="50%" style="text-align: center; background-color: #CED2DB;"
* [[File:RIG.png|32px]] '''Mining [[Space suit|Hardsuit]] and Helmet''': Used so you can mine with impunity on the airless, cold, resource-rich planetoid.
|- style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center; background-color: #606D89; color: white;"
* [[File:BreathMask.png|32px]] '''Breath Mask and Oxygen Tank''': So you can have oxygen when mining. Get an O2 tank from the tank dispenser, and wear it on your suit storage slot with your RIG.
| style="width: 150pt; center;"            | Ore  
* [[File:MGlasses.png|32px]] '''Meson Goggles''': Let's you see where the ore is through the rock.
| class="unsortable"                       | Description
* [[File:Pickaxe.png|32px]] '''Pickaxe''': For tunnelling through everything. Place this on your belt, it saves room. Alternatively, you can get various drills and other tools from science. These will dig faster, and may have other advantages!
| style="width: 100pt"                     | ORM Points
* [[File:Shovel.png|32px]] '''Shovel''': For gathering sand. You can stick this in your backpack.
* [[File:Lantern.gif|32px]] '''Lantern''': For seeing in the dark. Put one in your pocket. Or three.
* [[File:OreSatchel.png|32px]] '''Ore Satchel''': For carrying ore without using an ore box, and holds 25 ore nuggets. Get at least one of these and make sure to set the bag to "all on tile" (should be set to this as default setting). Use in conjunction with an ore crate. (Newbie tip: This does not work like a backpack.  Hold it in your hand and click the ore with that hand to pick it up.)
* [[File:OreCrate.png|32px]] '''Ore Crate''': Used for carrying huge amounts of ore. While a satchel can only hold 25 nuggets, this can hold 1000. Use your satchel on the box to empty it into the box, place the box in the unloading machine's input slot to unload it. Drag this around with you for easy carrying. Can be loaded into a Ripley exosuit for even faster mining.
 
'''Gear that will be very handy, but not included:'''
* [[File:Crowbar.png|32px]]'''Crowbar''': Just in case you come back from the mines to a power outage.
* [[File:Ripley.png|32px]] '''[[Roboticist#Ripley_APLU|Ripley]]''': Just because these mechs are awesome at mining. A Ripley equipped with a drill and with an ore box loaded up (using the Hydraulic Clamp) mines three squares at a time and automatically picks up any ore gained from the squares. Can be upgraded with diamond drill for even faster mining.
 
===  Mining Drills and YOU ===
Have compensation issues? A casino needs robbing? Want to show dominance over the asteroid via the machine gods? We have the equipment for you! The mining station has two heavy mining drills you can setup for any of the above purposes. Or if you're a crew-strapped QM who is taking the resource initiative! Setting these drills up is relatively easy. It requires the following:
* [[File:Crowbar.png|32px]]'''Crowbar''': Just carry one with you always. They make lives easier.
* [[File:powercell.png|32px]]'''Powercell''':The more power the better. The drills come with one installed, however bugging science to give you a super-cap is going to reduce downtime.
* [[File:MiningDrillLarge.png|50px]] '''Mining Drill''': The Big Kahuna. Bonus points if you name your drill and announce it to the station.
* [[File:MiningBrace.png|48px]] '''Drill Brace''': You will need two of these per mining drill.
 
Simply pull the drill onto open, flat ground to begin. Drag two braces and make sure they are facing towards the drill from either side on the horizontal plane. Wrench the braces into position and activate the drill! Place an orebox directly next to the drill and you should have the option to empty the drill into the ore box occasionally. After a short time frame [about the time it takes to setup another drill or light a quick one], you will need to change the battery to get more resources. The Mining Drill comes with a regular power cell, a micro-laser, matter bin and capacitor. There are high-powered cells that spawn next to the mining drills. Replacing these internals with better versions from R&D is something every aspiring spelunker should consider!
 
=== Dirty Jobs ===
You're here to mine, so get digging! Put on your mining hard-suit (make sure to put a large oxygen tank in your suit storage), grab your pickaxe in one hand, click on an ore tile, and then pick up the ore with your mining satchel. You can then empty the satchel into an Ore Box, so it's probably best to drag one around with you.
 
Once you're full to bursting with ores, drag your crate to the conveyor belt outside of the airlock.  If there's uranium coming down on the belt, wear your hardsuit inside the production area so you don't get a blast of radiation.  From there, you can use the machines and computers to smelt raw ore to its finished states and stack them up to 50-count piles. From there, it's off to wherever those resources need to be, but hopefully you have a [[Cargo Technician]] for that. Back to the mines!
 
* [[File:Xenoartrock.png|50px]] Special Note: Silver laced rocks are periodically spotted on the asteroid. They come up on your HUD as "strange rock". Call R&D's Anomaly division when you find one!

A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages, such as an explorer suit that can be armored with monster parts. Certain minerals you'll find have more "specialized" uses — uranium structures will irradiate people, plasma can start fires, gibtonite explodes. You can also buy very dangerous "mining" tools and possibly even revive those monsters you've been fighting. If you are smart enough, you could get a big stompy mech to drill people to death! In addition, Lavaland is isolated, hard to get to, dangerous, and as expansive as you're willing to dig out. Plenty of room for somebody to get lost in... ''Forever!''


===Overall Objectives===
'''General Tips:'''
* [[Scientist]]s just want a little uranium, plasma, and gold. Refine a little of each for research (5-10 blocks each should do it). In exchange, they may give you a bomb or more advanced mining tools (like a sonic jackhammer), both for even faster digging!
* If you're a miner and you have to kill another miner, there's a way to block communications so they can't call for help.
* Scientists may ask you for plasma or uranium coins, too. Head to the mint to make these, but remember that you can't actually retrieve the coins yourself, only make them. Ask the AI for assistance, or the captain if they have free time.
** Head to the [[Locations#Mining Outpost|telecommunications]].
* [[Roboticist]]s need plasteel, diamond, uranium, silver and gold for building mech parts. Give them enough and you might get a big, fancy machine for your troubles! Too bad the Ripley is the only good mech for mining.
** [[Hacking#Airlocks|Hack]] your way in. Make sure to get rid of airlock's plating.
* Everybody could always use more metal and glass, but especially [[Station Engineer]]s.
** Disable the relay.
* Bring new and interesting alien species back to the station via gut transportation system.
* Many items from your vendor gain a new, deadly life when in '''low pressure environments''':
* Destroy every anomaly you can find before the R&D Division can find them.
** Kinetic Accelerators start dealing devastating damage.
** Plasma Cutters have a chance each hit to cut someone's limbs right off.  
** Resonators, like Accelerators, become a deadly way to gain ground in a fight.
* Once you kill your target (and, to avoid being banned, do make sure they are your target), you can permanently or semi-permanently get rid of their body via various [[Guide to Lavaland|hazards on Lavaland]].
* With Lazarus Injectors you can gain much needed allies in your fights.
* As a miner, there is a '''lot''' of different healing ways available to you. You can use them when pursuing your goals.
'''Hijack Tips:'''
* If you are a traitor with <span style="color:red"> '''hijack''' </span> objective, you can [[Cryptographic Sequencer|emag]] a jaunter to send [[Guide to Lavaland#Megafauna|megafauna]] to station. Do <span style="color:red"> '''not''' </span> (read: <span style="color:red"> '''NOT'''</span> ) do it if you are not meant to hijack the shuttle.
'''Vampire Tips:'''
* Feeding on other miners can have it's benefits early in the round.


== Traitoring ==
{{JobsTable}}
A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages. You have a space suit for free right away and your mining tools are pretty good weapons too! As long as you have some mineral wealth on you, no one will suspect your presence around the station, even in highly restricted areas like robotics or toxins. In addition, the mining station is isolated, hard to get to, and as expansive as you're willing to dig out. Plenty of room for somebody to get lost in... ''Forever!''

A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages, such as an explorer suit that can be armored with monster parts. Certain minerals you'll find have more "specialized" uses — uranium structures will irradiate people, plasma can start fires, gibtonite explodes. You can also buy very dangerous "mining" tools and possibly even revive those monsters you've been fighting. If you are smart enough, you could get a big stompy mech to drill people to death! In addition, Lavaland is isolated, hard to get to, dangerous, and as expansive as you're willing to dig out. Plenty of room for somebody to get lost in... Forever!

General Tips:

  • If you're a miner and you have to kill another miner, there's a way to block communications so they can't call for help.
    • Head to the telecommunications.
    • Hack your way in. Make sure to get rid of airlock's plating.
    • Disable the relay.
  • Many items from your vendor gain a new, deadly life when in low pressure environments:
    • Kinetic Accelerators start dealing devastating damage.
    • Plasma Cutters have a chance each hit to cut someone's limbs right off.
    • Resonators, like Accelerators, become a deadly way to gain ground in a fight.
  • Once you kill your target (and, to avoid being banned, do make sure they are your target), you can permanently or semi-permanently get rid of their body via various hazards on Lavaland.
  • With Lazarus Injectors you can gain much needed allies in your fights.
  • As a miner, there is a lot of different healing ways available to you. You can use them when pursuing your goals.

Hijack Tips:

  • If you are a traitor with hijack objective, you can emag a jaunter to send megafauna to station. Do not (read: NOT ) do it if you are not meant to hijack the shuttle.

Vampire Tips:

  • Feeding on other miners can have it's benefits early in the round.
