Being a miner can be somewhat tedious, but you serve a crucial role in the R&D food chain, and can accrue some decent personal rewards. Just follow a few guidelines to keep yourself from becoming dead in the mines.

Your workplace, Lavaland, has some hazards:
* Ash storms will cut right through your clothes, dealing constant burn damage if you are outside. A rain of dark particles outdoors indicate an ash storm.

*Lava - one step in and you'll be badly burned and on fire.
* Chasms - Anything that falls into one will disappear from this world.
*Chasms - Anything that falls into one will disappear from this world. If you have a jaunter on you, it will automatically teleport you back onto the station if you fall into a chasm. However this won't mean that you'll be completely safe, you may jaunt into a space or a restricted area.
The risk of these hazards can be reduced by watching your step and being aware of your surroundings. Don't walk into lava, chasms, or outside during an ash storm. You'll get a text warning not long before a ash storm is about to begin, so long as you stay near shelter (or have a bluespace shelter capsule with you) then you'll be fine.

If you run into rock with a pick or drill in your inactive hand, it will automatically start digging for you. ALSO, it is important to note that '''you are able to click more than ONE square of asteroid 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.

===Working With Your Boss===
Who is your boss? You answer to the Head of Personnel, much like the rest of Supply -- but usually, you'll just be talking to the Quartermaster or other Miners. He can watch cameras on the Asteroid and has full access to Mining, so keep that in mind.
 
===The Objective===
You're here to mine, so get digging! Once you're full to bursting with ores, drag your ore box back to the station and head to cargo where the ore redemption machine sits. Insert your ID, and empty the box next to the machine to offload your ores and have them instantly processed into sheets. You gain points for doing this, so be sure to claim them and then retrieve your ID. Now buy new gear if you want, take your crate and it's back to the mines!
 
====How to Do This====
# Gear up! From the mining equipment locker, you will need Meson Scanner goggles, a mining scanner, your pickaxe (optional), a bluespace shelter capsule (DON'T FORGET!) and your standard issue proto-kinetic accelerator. If you want, there is also a additional mining satchel, and a shovel.
# Use your voucher on a mining vending machine to select your choice of advanced mining tool, listed below.
# Go to the Lavaland Mining Station and get an explorer suit, breath mask, and oxygen tank from Mining 'EVA'. On the western side of the base, there is a mini-Medbay where you can find first-aid kits. There is also a maintenance room adjacent to it where you can top off internals.
# Before you go, you'll want an Ore Box, which can hold an infinite amount of minerals. You start with an handy capsule that can be used to deploy one.
# Make sure you've packed a bluespace shelter capsule if you plan on a long distance expedition, it can shield you in the event of a nasty storm.
# Find dem minerals. Click the scanner in hand to activate it: every once in a while it sends out a pulse that lets you see deposits in the rock a few tiles away from you. Try to get a mixture of every type of mineral.
# Pick up minerals by using your mining satchel on them: it will gather the whole stack up in one click. Then use the satchel on the ore box to transfer the minerals there.
# Go to the ore redeemer and get points. If R&D doesn't show up, you can also deliver materials to R&D (10-15 sheets each material except iron) and everything else to Robotics. Ask R&D for upgrades if they have the materials.
# At the mining equipment vendor you can get advanced equipment with the points you've gained.
# Use your better gear to push deeper into Lavaland.
# If you feel robust enough, explore some [[Ruins]] and <s>die horribly</s> get amazing rewards.
# If you feel VERY robust, look for [[Megafauna]] with your GPS and try to kill it, for extremely <s>painful death</s> valuable loot.


The minerals on Lavaland have two different levels of hardness. Level 1 minerals are light grey, and can be broken in 1 hit. Level 2 minerals are found on '''Hardened Basalt''', a darker type of rock that needs 2 hits to be broken, and spawns more ores once broken. '''Granite''' is more likely to hold rarer minerals, as the brown rock takes three hits to break, and spawns even more ores once broken.
==Working With Your Boss==
Who is your boss? You answer to the Head of Personnel, much like the rest of Supply -- but usually, you'll just be talking to the Quartermaster or other Miners. The Quartermaster can watch cameras on lavaland and has full access to Mining, so keep that in mind.
==The Objective==
You're here to mine, so get digging! Once you have a sufficient amount of ores to deposit, be sure to empty your orebox with the ORM and claim your points. With the points you've claimed, you can get some pretty robust gear from the [https://wiki.yogstation.net/wiki/Shaft_Miner#Mining_Vendor_Equipment Mining Rewards Vendor]. After you've done this and gotten your upgrades and extra equipment, head back down there and get back to work!
===How to Do This===
# Gear up! From the mining equipment locker, you will need Meson Scanner goggles, a mining scanner, a jaunter, a bluespace shelter capsule (DON'T FORGET!) and your standard issue proto-kinetic accelerator. If you want, there is also a additional mining satchel, and a shovel.
#Use your voucher on a mining vending machine to select your choice of advanced mining tool, listed below.
#Go to the Lavaland Mining Station and get an explorer suit, explorer gas mask, and oxygen tank from Mining 'EVA'. On the western side of the base, there is a mini-Medbay where you can find first-aid kits. There is also a maintenance room adjacent to it where you can top off internals.
#Before you go, you'll want an Ore Box, which can hold a massive amount of minerals. The mining base and mining shuttle have multiple of these for you to use..
#Make sure you've packed a bluespace shelter capsule if you plan on a long distance expedition, it can shield you in the event of a nasty storm.
#Find dem minerals. Click the scanner in hand to activate it: every once in a while it sends out a pulse that lets you see deposits in the rock a few tiles away from you. Try to get a mixture of every type of mineral.
#Pick up minerals by walking over them with a mining satchel on your person. If you're pulling an ore box, this will automatically pick them up with the ore box aswell.
#Go to the ore redeemer and get points. If R&D is proactive, the ore redeemer can be upgraded for extra mineral counts and point redemption.
#At the mining rewards vendor and the supply techfab, you can get upgrades that make mining a lot easier on yourself.
#Use your better gear to push deeper into Lavaland.
#If you feel robust enough, explore some [[Ruins]] and <s>die horribly</s> get amazing rewards.
#If you feel VERY robust, look for [[Megafauna]] with your GPS and try to kill it, for extremely <s>painful death</s> valuable loot.

You start the shift with a complimentary mining voucher, worth one free item out of a selection of seven. These items, and their strengths, are:
* Bluespace Capsule + Chest Belt Webbing: The capsule is a good choice to allow you to explore out in Lavaland for even longer, and the webbing (you put on your belt slot) allows you to carry even more mining equipment, like  a pickaxe. A strong starting choice.
*'''Explorer's Kit''': The webbing (you put on your belt slot) allows you to carry even more mining equipment - having a second shelter capsule is nice too. The duffelbag contains 3 lesser mining charges.
* Resonator + Advanced Mining Scanner: A viable alternative weapon, not as competitive since you start with a Proto-Kinetic Accelerator but the Resonator can prove useful for large scale mining or for fending off certain wildlife. The scanner has a more expanded view range, allowing you to see all minerals withing the entire screen. Very useful but not a critically needed item as you can compensate with the standard scanner by exploring more thoroughly.
*'''Resonator Kit''': Comes with a resonator and mini extinguisher.
* Extraction and Rescue Kit: Contains an extraction pack and a beacon, which allows you to send back home minerals and items without having to use the ferry.
*'''Mining Drone''': A little companion that helps in storing ore and hunting wildlife. Only useful once you install the sentience upgrade module. Comes with an industrial welding tool, a welding mask and a KA modkit that allows shots to pass through the drone.
* Crusher Kit: Contains a proto-kinetic crusher, a chest webbing like the capsule kit, and a mini fire extinguisher. The crusher is hard to use without getting hurt, but can be more powerful than the kinetic accelerator.
*'''Extraction and Rescue Kit''': Contains a fulton extraction pack and a beacon, which allows you to send back home minerals, items and dead miners without having to use the ferry. As a bonus, you get 30 marker beacons too.
* Mining Drone: Some swear by it, other's hate it. A 'useful' companion that helps in storing ore and hunting wildlife. You can also purchase upgrade to make the little bugger more useful.
*'''Crusher Kit''': Contains a proto-kinetic crusher and a mini fire extinguisher. The crusher is two-handed and hard to use without getting hit, but has a chance to make fauna drop powerful trophies.
 
*'''Mining Conscription Kit''': A dufflebag full of basic items for one conscript - pickaxe, kinetic accelerator, explorer's suit, mesons, mining scanner and satchel, gas mask, a supply radio key, a gem satchel, and a special card that adds mining access to IDs. Good for when you want to recruit metafriends fresh conscripts.
===For Great Profit!===
*'''Mini Plasma Cutter Kit''': A weak plasma based mining tool.

Mining for the sake of it can only get you so far. By mining minerals and returning them to the station you'll accrue mining points, you can then use these points to buy better and more powerful equipment and supplies from a equipment vendor. You can then in turn use these items to push further into Lavaland to mine better minerals, fell stronger wildlife and find greater treasure. Consider it all an investment.

Stimpacks can help you in a pinch for example, or a Wormhole Jaunter can help you escape what would have been a death trap. Or saving up for a Legion Stabilizer can let you save their instant healing heart for later. Or you can spend it all on booze and cigars.

|A gun. The good part is that it packs a punch in a vacuum and has infinite shots. The bad part is that it tickles in pressurized environments, has a cooldown after each shot, and has a range of three steps. Each blast can clear a rock wall if you feel like digging using this, which it can do well. Standard issue equipment you can get from your mining locker. KAs are the only weapon that deals direct explosion damage: bomb suits can negate 90% of the damage dealt by a KA.

==The Wildlife==
Lavaland is filled with a variety of bloodthirsty alien lifeforms populating the caverns, walking just fine over the ponds and puddles of lava. Fortunately, you can fight them whilst taking minimal damage, if you have the know-how.
 
Useful items can be harvested from these creatures' corpses should you triumph; butcher them with a knife by attacking the corpse on Harm intent and the goods will spill out!

![[File:legion.png|64px]]<br>Legions
!KA AoE Mining Mod<br>[[File:Modkit.png|32px]]
|Considered annoying at worst, and a free medkit at best. These creatures unleash legion skulls, one after another at you whilst trying to keep a distance. Fortunately, each of its spawn dies in a single hit (even a single punch), and deal tickle damage to you; the legion itself can't directly hit you. It's best to go on the aggressive against these with pickaxe in hand, advancing constantly whilst picking away each of its brood. Once you've closed the gap or have it stuck in a corner, it's toast. If you fall unconscious while you're being attacked, however, you will instantly die and be turned into a Legion.
|A modkit that makes your KA mine rocks in a 3x3 AoE. It does not, however, deal AoE damge. Costs 30% mod capacity.
<br>
|Cargo
It drops a soul when killed. Hit yourself with the soul and it will instantly restore your health to its maximum, and even cure diseases or any other ailment on your body. It also has the side effect of purging any beneficial chemicals from your system, so don't munch one just after injecting a stimulant. Don't think you can store these for later, though -- they will spoil after a few minutes unless you use a stabilizer from the vending machine. However, legion souls, spoilt or not, can be inserted in one's chest through [[surgery]] to provide a hands-free use of the legion soul, that will automatically activate if you fall into crit.
<br>
tl;dr strategy: '''Attack with your pickaxe/knife. Hack your way through the legion and its heads until the host is mush.'''
|'''Low'''

![[File:watcher.png|64px]]<br>Watchers
!Mining Satchel of Holding<br>[[File:Bluespacemining.png|32px]]
|Fierce, territorial beasts capable of firing freezing beams, cold enough to inflict serious freeze burns while the watcher closes in and attacks its immobilized target. Fortunately, they don't attack unless someone comes very close to them, so if you don't feel confident, you can just wait until you have a few more goliath plates, or maybe some gibonite.
|Very cheap mining satchel that can hold an unlimited amount of minerals and ore.
<br>
|Cargo
Despite the slowdown, watchers can be kited.
<br>
Butcher a watcher for 2 pieces of diamond ore.
<br>
Tip: Watchers are notably weak to explosions due to the nature of their bodies, taking over half their health in damage from even the weakest of explosions.
|'''Medium'''

![[File:EdgyGoliath.png|64px]]<br>Goliaths
!Night Vision Health Scanner HUD<br>[[File:NV health glasses.png|32px]]
|The bane of many careless miners. These monsters carry a hefty health pool, a mean wallop, and a deceptively dangerous ranged tentacle attack. They are inherently resistant to lasers, so using a KA is the best option regarding dealing with these. They move at a slow pace, stopping every couple seconds to burrow tentacles under you. These will trap you for a long duration if you stand on top of them for too long.
|Allows you to see in the dark and view the health of lavaland mobs as well as everything else.
<br>
| Medical
Fighting them is simple: '''Shoot, step back, shoot, avoid tentacles.''' Repeat this process until it stops moving.
<br>
Butcher a goliath for its hide and its meat. Goliath plates can be used to reinforce your hardsuit and helmet a maximum of three times, allowing you to turn your suit into something closer to a piece of riot gear if you hunt some Goliaths. The meat can be cooked in lava.

![[File:Tendril.png|64px]]<br>Necropolis Tendrils
!Night Vision Optical Meson Scanners<br>[[File:NV_meson_glasses.gif|32px]]
|Huge spikes of organic matter, from the base of which crawl out countless monsters. Each Tendril only spawns one kind of monster, between legions, goliaths and watchers, every once in a while. The tendrils themselves are fairly fragile and will die in a few well-placed shots, if you can fight through the other mobs. Once killed, it will drop its loot, shake the earth around it for a while, and then spawn a huge chasm around it, destroying anything that did not get out of the way in time. Chasms are deadly even after formation and should be avoided.
|The same function as the normal meson scanners with the added bonus of being able to see in the dark.
<br>
| Cargo<br>Engineering
Fighting them can involve killing all its protectors patiently, or using tactics like gibtonite. Either way, once killed, ignore the remaining monsters, grab the chest, and RUN.  
<br>
When kiled, they spawn necropolis chests which can contain a variety of useful artifacts, that usually cannot be found anywhere else. See the table below for the possible loot.

![[File:Goldgrub.png|64px]]<br>Goldgrubs
!Mining Charge<br>[[File:Mining_charge.gif|32px]]
|Mostly harmless and quite rare. These creatures swallow up any loose, valuable ore they can find and flee when approached by a human, smashing through even solid rock on their path of escape before burrowing into the ground. A tactic toward killing one is to throw an ore towards it, and quickly charging in to kill it while it's busy eating, but note that kinetic accelerator shots do nothing against these. Their skin is reflective, requiring a pickaxe melee smackdown to ensure a kill.
|A more powerful mining charge than the lesser ones sold by the mining vendor.
<br>
|Cargo
When killed, they spit up multiple pieces of ore, based on what they ate. Feed them many different types of ore before killing them, and they'll spit out more of each type than you gave it! Just don't let it get away after spooking it.

|Extremely big and powerful creatures, that randomly spawn in [[lavaland]]. Each one of these emits a GPS Signal that can be tracked with your own GPS, to either seek or avoid them.<br>
|The most powerful mining charge.
To beat them and get their valuable loot, you must either have good equipment or be VERY good at dodging their attacks, as failure usually means not only death, but gibbing as well, meaning that unless you were clone-scanned your body is unrecoverable.<br>
|Cargo
Their slow speed means that you can usually outrun them, although you should be careful of not [[Traitor|letting them hitch a ride in the mining ferry]], as the station has very few weapons that can damage megafauna.

!Seismic Right Arm<br>[[File:Seismic r arm.png|32x32px]]
|Nar'Sien Hardsuit
|A cybernetic right arm that functions and acts like a cyborg right arm. However, having this augment or replace your right arm will grant you a list of four unique spells which grant superior agility and strength. The list is as follows:<br>
|A cultist's hardsuit. It is very resistant to melee and bullet damage and fairly resistant to other kinds of damage; it also fits in backpacks.
'''Lariat''': Dash 5 spaces and deal 50 true Brute to any fauna you hit. People take 10 true Brute, and silicons take 12 true Brute. 7-second cooldown.<br>
'''Mop the Floor''': Dash 5 spaces and carry any target you connect with you. For every tile you carry a fauna, they take 20 true Brute and you gain 90% damage reduction for the duration. People take 4 true Brute per tile, and silicons take 5 true Brute per tile. In addition, you don't gain any damage reduction while carrying a person or silicon. Any fauna killed by this is gibbed. 7-second cooldown.<br>
'''Suplex''': Moves a target directly in front of you behind you. Fauna take 20 true Brute, people take 6 true Brute, and silicons take 8 true Brute. If the target is moved onto a fauna or a person, the latter takes 20 true Brute or 10 true Brute respectively. Any fauna killed by the targeted suplex is gibbed. 1-second cooldown.<br>
'''Right Hook''': Charge for 2 seconds to power up your arm. The charge lasts 5 seconds. While it's charged, hitting a target will send them flying eight spaces. Fauna take 100 true Brute, people take 15 true Brute, and silicons take 18 true Brute. If another mob is in the path of the target's flight, they will take 30 true Brute, 10 true Brute, or 11 true Brute, if they are a fauna/person/silicon, respectively, as well as being knocked over. This move disables the seismic right arm for 15 seconds, making every other power unusable until then.<br>
Mop the Floor, Suplex, and Right Hook can send targets through rocks, dealing an additional 5 true Brute per tile they smash through. Any fauna killed by this will be gibbed.

![[File:Soulstone.png|64px]]
!Strange Elixir<br>[[File:Flight_potion.png|32px]]
|Soulstone
|A bottle containing 5 units of flight potion. Ingesting flight potion will give the drinker wings if they are human or phytosian/podperson. Wings allow jetpack-like movement wherever there's air when activated, also giving increased speed and free movement over tables and chasms.<br>
|A soulstone much like the kind used by a [[Blood Cult]] or by the chaplain on MetaStation. When used on an unconscious person or on a corpse it disintegrates it, and traps the soul inside the gem. The soul can then be released as a weak ghost bound to the will of the soulstone's owner, or it can be put into a construct shell, if you somehow own one.

= The Wildlife - Non-Sentient=
Lavaland is filled with a variety of bloodthirsty alien lifeforms populating the caverns, walking just fine over the ponds and puddles of lava. Fortunately, you can fight them whilst taking minimal damage, if you have the know-how.


==Xenoforms==
Useful items can be harvested from these creatures' corpses should you triumph; butcher them with a knife by attacking the corpse with combat mode on and the goods will spill out!
Your not always the only sentient being on the planet. Aside from the lovecraftian horrors living down there you may also content with several groups or factions of beings on the planet. Some hostile, some friendly.
==Legion==
[[File:legion.png|100px]]<br>
Considered annoying at worst, and a free medkit at best.
===Statistics===
'''Difficulty''': Easy


The follow is a list of all known sentient groups found on the planet based on information sent from recon squads.
'''Speed''': Slow
===Attacks===
The legion itself cannot harm you directly. It will retreat from you constantly: maintaining a distance while attacking.


=====Podmen=====
The legion attacks are as follows:
Recon Expedition #4 <br>
*Unleashes legion skulls which seek out a target. Each of these skulls die with a single hit and deal light damage to the target.
Threat Level: Minimal, Non Hostile <br>
*If a skull attacks an unconscious being, it kills it instantly and transforms it into a legion.
Note: A small group of podmen were observed living inside a sealed vault. They appear minimally armed and seem to avoid leaving their home.
===Loot===
When a legion dies, its original form is revealed. Legions do not drop any crafting materials, but they are valuable sources of healing to both miners and ash walkers, as they drop valuable legion cores which heal you greatly. The body they spawn once dead can be very useful to ashwalker reproduction.


=====[[Ruins#Free Golem Ship|Golems]]=====
It leaves behind the following:<br>
Recon Expedition #9<br>
1. The original body of itself. Usually these will be dead ashwalker bodies, but there may be a miner or something special that appears occassionally too!<br>
Threat Level: Minimal, Non Hostile<br>
2. A legion core[[File:Legionsoul.gif]]. Hit yourself with the soul and it will instantly heal 25 brute and burn damage, and remove slowdown from damage for a minute. Don't think you can store these for later, though -- they will spoil after a few minutes, making them completely useless until you use a stabilizer from the vending machine. However, a legion core can be inserted in one's chest through [[surgery]] as an organ to provide a hands-free full heal. Using a legion core while not on Lavaland will take 4 seconds to apply to yourself, or 2 seconds to someone else. In addition, the damage slowdown removal is instead a reduction. '''These do not affect robotic limbs.'''
Note: A unidentified flying object was seen crashing by Recon Team Charlie during expedition #8. Alpha team on expedition #9 located a group of golems, the golems appeared utterly uninterested in their surroundings all things considered.
===Other variants===
There is one other version of the legion that is possible to come across, this has a 5% chance of appearing and a 100% chance of appearing in the '''Cafe of Broken Dreams''' Lava land ruin.
====Dwarf Legion====
[[File:Dwarflegion.png|100px]]<br>
On the rare occasion that a human with dwarfism falls to a legion, they can become infested like any other. Dwarf legions have 20 less health but move slightly faster. It's still rather harmless. 2 KA shots kill it, a couple of pickax swings will knock it out. It has the same loot as a normal legion.
==Watcher==
[[File:watcher.png|100px]]<br>
A levitating, fierce, territorial eye-like creature held aloft by winglike formations of sinew. A sharp spine of crystal protrudes from its body.
===Statistics===
'''Difficulty''': Medium


=====[[Ashwalkers]]=====
'''Speed''': Very Slow
Recon Expedition #13<br>
=== Attacks===
Threat Level: Medium, Hostile<br>
Despite the slowdown they give to a target once hit, watchers can be kited. They will not attack unless you get close to them. They are very weak to explosions.
Note: It appears a group of Basiliscus Lizretus, also known as Lizardmen, live on the planet, they are hostile to all intruders. These 'ashwalkers' only started to appear when mining operations started, they are agile but lightly armed, wielding primitively forged armor and spears. They seem to follow a being of greater strength than the others, described as the Chieftain. They also appear to also have a hostile relationship with the wildlife, having been observed killing and dragging wildlife corpses away, as to why they need these corpses the recon team is unable to ascertain.


=====Prisoners=====
The watcher attacks are as follows:
PMC Expedition #1<br>
*Fires freezing beams at a target, cooling their body temperature and causing them to become slower.
Threat Level: High, Hostile<br>
*Hits a target in melee range, dealing mild brute damage.
Note: A prison transport carrying high tier prisioners crashed on the planet, a PMC expedition was mounted to track them down but the team was unable to locate the crash site and was forced to abandon when the ash storms took a turn for the worse. Any prisoners found should be considered armed and extremely dangerous, and should only be approached by a fully equipped security team.
===Loot===
Watchers leave behind a body to butcher.


=====Orison Outpost Medics=====
When this body is butchered, it leaves behind the following:<br>
Recon Expedition #20<br>
1. 2 pieces of diamond ore[[File:Diamond_ore.png]].<br>
Threat Level: Minimal, Non Hostile<br>
2. 2 pieces of watcher sinew[[File:Sinew.png]].<br>
Note: A bluespace anomaly ripped these poor souls from their home planet, and threw them into this hell hole. You can call it bad luck or maybe you can call it fate. They don't seem very prone to Nanotrasen rule however, as their highest ranking officer abides to his or her own rules. It'd be risky to try to strike a deal with them, but overall they seem non hostile.
3. 1 bone[[File:Bone.png]].
===Other variants===
There are two other versions of the watcher that are possible to come across, these have a 1% chance of appearing.
====Magmawing Watcher====
[[File:Magmawingwatcher.png|100px]]<br>
The most common variant, when raised very close to lava some watchers adapt to the extreme heat and change coloration. Such watchers are known as magmawings and use intense heat as their tool for hunting and defense. The magmawing watcher shoots scorching blasts instead of freezing blasts, which heats you up and sets you on fire. Unlike normal watchers, a shot from this watcher will set you on fire and trying to roll it out will only result in the watcher getting more free shots on you, which means that you're pretty much forced to man up, pop a survival medi-pen, and melee it to death while you lose half of your HP to fire. It has normal watcher loot when butchered and has a small chance to drop a valuable [[Shaft Miner#Calcified Auric|calcified auric]].
====Icewing Watcher ====
[[File:Icewingwatcher.png|100px]]<br>
The least common variant, some watchers will eke out an existence far from heat sources. In the absence of warmth, their wings will become papery and turn to an icy blue; these watchers are fragile but much quicker to fire their trademark freezing blasts. The icewing watcher has 50% less health and fire shots 33% more often. Getting hit by a blast from an icewing watcher freezes you in a block of ice for a very short amount of time. Their loot is similar to the normal watcher when butchered: 5 diamond ore but no sinew, there is also a small chance they drop a valuable [[Shaft Miner#Frost Diamond|frost diamond]].
== Goliath==
[[File:EdgyGoliath.png|100px]]<br>
The bane of many careless miners. These monsters carry a hefty health pool, a mean wallop, and a deceptively dangerous ranged attack. They are inherently resistant to lasers, so using a KA is the best option regarding dealing with these.
===Statistics===
'''Difficulty''': Hard


'''Speed''': Slow
===Attacks===
Goliaths will chase you down slowly, stopping every couple seconds to attack. Fighting them is simple: Shoot, step back, shoot, avoid tentacles. Repeat this process until it stops moving.
Goliaths are much more lethal in groups, as you'll need to dodge tentacles more often and even two goliaths can stunlock you to death if one hits.


=====Cosmic Ashwalker=====
The goliath attacks are as follows:
Recon Expedition #21<br>
*Burrows several tentacles that emerge from the ground in random tiles around the target, trapping anything caught on targeted tiles for a long duration.
Threat Level: Unknown
*Slams itself into the target, dealing medium brute damage.
Note: The origin of their name is given to them based on their hideout. Multiple pictures have been taken, all with the same dragging tail escaping into the darkness with a shield by their side. Recon identified the cosmic being as an ashwalker given the features and movements of their body.
===Loot===
Goliaths leave behind a body to butcher. Goliath plates can be used to reinforce explorer suits, mining hardsuits and mechs. The meat can be cooked in lava.


=====Traveling Bard=====
When butchered, the body releases the following items:<br>
Recon Expedition #30<br>
1. 2 pieces of goliath meat[[File:Goliathmeat.png]].<br>
Threat Level: Minimal, Non Hostile<br>
2. 2 bones[[File:Bone.png]].<br>
Note: There was an odd strum of cords always playing the air behind rock, but no one was able to find out. Eventually, they came to us in their jester costume enchanting us with a lovely tune on one of our darkest days. They call themselves a bard, the fool must've been a recon officer that bumped their head and woke up near a costume shop. Nevertheless, the bard does bring a sense of joy to this hell hole. Something that is more powerful than a loaded gun.
3. 1 goliath hide[[File:Goliathhide.png]].
=== Other variants===
There is one other version of the goliath that is possible to come across, this has a 1% chance of appearing.
====Ancient Goliath====
[[File:Ancientgoliath.png|100px]]<br>
This one is clearly ancient, and its tentacles constantly churn the earth around it. Tentacles constantly extrude from the ground around it, even when it is not aggroed to any particular object. When killed, they drop their goliath hide directly, more can be obtained through butchering.
==Goldgrub==
[[File:Goldgrub.png|100px]]<br>
Quite rare, these creatures swallow up any loose, valuable ore they can find and flee when approached by a human, smashing through even solid rock on their path of escape before burrowing into the ground. A tactic toward killing one is to throw an ore towards it, and quickly charging in to kill it while it's busy eating, but note that kinetic accelerator shots do nothing against these. Their skin is reflective, requiring a pickaxe melee smackdown to ensure a kill.
===Statistics===
'''Difficulty''': Easy


=====Syndicate Scientists=====
'''Speed''': Very Fast
Recon Expedition #47<br>
===Attacks===
Threat Level: Unknown
The goldgrub has no attacks.
Note: Multiple facilities have been spotted by recon officers, but they are usually boarded up and appear to be abandoned. No expense was taken to collect information given that they were hidden behind large gaps of lava. Any attempt made must be recorded, and reported back to Nanotrasen. We don't know what could be behind those walls. Rumors have spread that there are scientists behind those walls, and others opened up that the Syndicate is targeting Nanotrasen again.
===Loot===
When killed, they spit up multiple pieces of ore, based on what they ate. Feed them many different types of ore before killing them, and they'll spit out more of each type than you gave it! They also drop gold grub guts when butchered, which can be ground up for a potent medicinal reagent and rarely will also drop a valuable [[Shaft Miner#Ruperium Crystal|ruperium crystal]]. Use caution when consuming the gold grub guts however, it can cause severe liver damage if too much is ingested!
== Marrow Weaver==
[[File:marrow.png|100px]]<br>
A violent, venomous arthropod. Its 8 legs allow it to scuttle across the basalts quickly, and its hard outer chitin makes it a tough foe for the unprepared.
===Statistics===
'''Difficulty''': Medium


==The Ores==
'''Speed''': Fast
These are what you should be looking out for, generally try and get a good mix of the more exotic ore types. Iron ore is ok but it sells for little and is highly abundant on the station already.
===Attacks ===
A threatening spider that is harmless at a range, but can inject toxin and heal from eating the guts of corpses. Not too big of a threat, but the toxin damage is tricky to heal on the go.


{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="80%" class="wikitable sortable"
The marrow weaver attacks are as follows:
! scope="col" style='background-color:grey;color:white;' |Name
*Hits a target in melee range, dealing mild brute damage and injecting 4 units of spore toxin. If enraged (at or below 33% health), instead injects 8 units of venom.

3. 3 bones[[File:Bone.png]].<br>
4. 2 pieces of uranium ore[[File:Uraniumore.png]].
==Gutlunch==
[[File:Gutlunch.png|100px]]<br>
A scavenger that eats raw meat, often found alongside ash walkers. Produces a thick, nutritious milk.
===Statistics===
'''Difficulty''': Easy
 
'''Speed''': Slow

==Megafauna==

==Elites==
For details on lavaland elites, [[Lavaland Elites|click here]].
==Necropolis Tendrils==
[[File:Tendril.png|100px]]<br>
Huge spikes of organic matter, from the base of which crawl out countless monsters. Each Tendril only spawns one kind of monster, between legions, goliaths and watchers, every once in a while, up to a maximum of three living monsters per tendril. The tendrils themselves are fairly fragile and will die in a few well-placed shots, if you can fight through the other mobs. Once killed, it will drop its loot, shake the earth around it for a while, and then spawn a huge chasm around it, destroying anything that did not get out of the way in time. Chasms are deadly even after formation and should be avoided.
===Statistics===
'''Difficulty''': Medium to Very High
 
'''Speed''': None
===Attacks===
The tendril itself has no attacks. Instead it spawns other mobs at a fast rate, the attacks of which are listed previously above.
===Loot===
When killed, they spawn [[Shaft Miner#Necropolis Chest Loot|necropolis chests]] which can contain a variety of useful artifacts.
=Crusher Trophies =
When killing certain enemies with the Kinetic Crusher there's a chance for them to drop trophies, powerful mods that can be attached to the Crusher.

=Gems=
Gems are very valuable items dropped by [[Megafauna|megafaunas]], other rare faunas and gem ores. These can be scanned with a mining scanner for a sizeable amount of points and shipped to centcom for a large sum of money, those are also possible [[Supply crates#Bounties|bounties]] which will bring even more money. You can obtain large amounts of raw materials from some of those gems by either deconstructing them with a [[Guide to Research and Development#Deconstruction|destructive analyzer]] (make sure it is upgraded for maximum yield) or by welding them to obtain sheets of raw materials.

=The Wildlife - Sentient=
You're not always the only sentient being on the planet. Aside from the lovecraftian horrors living down there you may also find several groups or factions of beings on the planet. Some hostile, some friendly.

==[[Ashwalkers]]==
It appears a group of Basiliscus Lizretus, also known as Lizardmen, live on the planet, they are hostile to all intruders. These 'ashwalkers' only started to appear when mining operations started, they are agile but lightly armed, wielding primitively forged armor and spears. They seem to follow a being of greater strength than the others, described as the Chieftain. They also appear to also have a hostile relationship with the wildlife, having been observed killing and dragging wildlife corpses away, as to why they need these corpses the recon team is unable to ascertain.

|For <s>trolling miners</s> blowing shit up, whether they be solid asteroid or [[Traitor|other things]]. Hitting it with your mining tools will start a chain reaction. If you don't stop the reaction with your mining scanner in time, the gibtonite will explode. If you do, you can mine the ore, pick it up (you need both hands free) and use it as an explosive. The closer the gibtonite was to exploding before defused, the more potent its power. Cannot be forged or turned in to the ore redemption machine, so don't bring any of this to the station or else you'll be <s>arrested</s> ignored by security because they don't know what the hell it is.
 
How to obtain Gibtonite: Hit ore, count to 8 flashes of the ore then hit it with your scanner. Gibtonite varies in the number of reactions it has, so you may get lower quality ore. Use 2 of the 0 reaction ores (the most potent) to blow open the AI core and make it cry at it's malf failure!

Miners don't have to deliver ores directly to departments -- they can if they want, or if those bastards are too lazy to leave their fortress of <s>autism</s> science -- but it never hurts to know what to aim for.
*[[Scientist]]s at least a bit of every ore. In exchange they may upgrade your protolathe, allowing for you to get more advanced mining items.
 
*[[Roboticist]]s need diamond, uranium, silver and gold for building mech parts. Give them enough and you've indirectly helped out most of the departments on the station if the Roboticists are competent enough to build helpful stompy mechs for everybody! Too bad the Ripley is the only <s>good</s> mech for mining.

=The Wonders of Plasma Magmite =
While on the asteroid, you may come upon artificial structures. They can have items ranging from magical artifacts, to oter lifeforms, to [[Aliens|alien facehugger]]s.  If you are at all unsure, always let your mining buddies know using :u before going in: some ruins can be very dangerous.
Plasma Magmite is a rare ore that spawns exclusively in '''Hardened Basalt''' and '''Granite'''. It can only be dropped if destroyed by an explosion (gibtonite, mining charge, etc).
 
==Tips==
* Always go with at least two other people when mining. Not only can you mine faster together, the chance that they could both be 'lings/traitors is rather low. Pickaxe to the skull tends to put down most people.
* You can view the contents of a mining satchel as if it were a backpack.
* Middle mouse click swaps your hand, allowing you to shoot minerals and grat them with the satchel quickly.
* Minebots are great at distracting monsters. Just walk near and bash the distracted target with your drill. They can take quite a beating, though goliaths can take them down pretty quickly if you're not quick enough. Plus they collect all the crap gibtonite left.
* The Proto-kinetic Accelerator can destroy electrified grilles without needing a pair of insulated gloves.
* The Proto-kinetic Accelerator will obliterate a space carp in one hit while in space.
* The Head of Personnel may reward you with all access if you resurrect Ian. Also, sometimes the Research Director will reward you for a pet gold grub.
* If you're expecting trouble on the station, consider taking out a window on the mining shuttle before you return to make a quick getaway so you're not trapped like a rat in a cage.
* Taking stimulants before delivering materials to science will help keep you alive.
* The mining drone can be repaired with a welding tool, but not in the middle of a fight. A goliath will always win in a one on one fight with a mining drone.
* Life improving things:
** Mining suit upgrade : Goliath plates add +10% melee resist each time when applied to a suit, ideally if you're just mining you'd want to solely apply that to your chest piece. The plates will stack until they reach 30%, which may help you live in case a goliath grabs you.
** Security Jumpsuit : This gives a +10% melee resist to everywhere but your head. Nag the QM or HoP to give you one.
** Augmentations : Augs are VERY useful for miners, as healing with a welder is ultimately easier. Plus they work differently than armor when it comes to protection, instead reducing all brute damage taken by an augmented body part by 5 (4 for burn). Downside : EMP vulnerability.
* Kinetic accelerators can be used as infinite tools to navigate space, since every time you fire, it'll throw you in the opposite direction.
 
 
==Dead Space==
A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages. You have a space suit for free right away and a robust pickaxe. Certain minerals you'll find have more "specialized" uses -- uranium structures will irradiate people, plasma can start fires, gibtonite goes boom. You can also buy dangerous "mining" tools and possibly even revive those monsters you've been fighting. As long as you have some mineral wealth or an ore box with you, no one will suspect your presence around the station, even in highly restricted areas like robotics or toxins, and if you are smart enough, you could get a big stompy mech to drill people to death! In addition, the asteroid 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!''


Take it to the '''World Anvil''' located in a guaranteed spawn ruin emitting a '''tempered signal''' letting you use your GPS to find it. The World Anvil must be heated first by using Gibtonite. Once heated, placing a piece of Plasma Magmite on it will forge it into '''Plasma Magmite Upgrade Parts''' [[File:UpgradeParts.png]] that when used on a Proto-Kinetic Accelerator, Advanced Plasma Cutter or Plasma Cutter Shotgun it will upgrade them to their mega version. If the upgrade parts remain unused for 10 minutes they will become inert and need to be reheated at the World Anvil.
The mega weapons are:
*[[File:KineticAccelerator_mega.png]]'''The Mega Proto-Kinetic Accelerator:''' This functions the same as the normal PKA but has 120% mod capacity (up from 100%)
*[[File:Adv_plasma_cutter_mega.png]]'''The Mega Advanced Plasma Cutter:''' This functions the same as an Advanced Plasma Cutter but goes 7 tiles with a bonus range of 7 tiles (up from 5/5)
*[[File:Miningshotgun_mega.png]]'''The Mega Plasma Cutter Shotgun:''' This functions the same as a Plasma Cutter Shotgun but goes 7 tiles with a bonus range of 3 tiles (up from 5/2), it will also automatically defuse Gibtonite without needing an additional upgrade.
*[[File:Magmite-crusher.png]]'''The Magmite Crusher:''' This functions the same as a normal crusher but additionally cuts through rocks similar to plasma cutters.

While on the planet, you may come upon artificial structures. They can have items ranging from magical artifacts, to other lifeforms, to [[Xenos#Facehugger|alien facehugger]]s. If you are at all unsure, always let your mining buddies know using :u before going in, as some ruins can be very dangerous.
=Tips=
*Going in pairs or in groups while mining decreases your likelihood of dying from fauna. This increases your lifespan while mining, but decreases the amount of ore mined generally.
*Alternatively, go completely solo to lower the chance of friendly fire, increase your mining speed, and so you can keep the mining treasures for yourself.
* If you aggro a megafauna, run AWAY from the mining outpost. Most megafauna can be easily outpaced but have a much higher aggro range while and shortly after chasing someone, and it becomes incredibly difficult to leave the planet when an ash drake is lounging around in the mining shuttle.
*Your mining satchel will automatically pick up ores as long as it is on your immediate person (in pockets, on belt, in hands, etc.) If you are dragging an ore box, ores will automatically be dumped into that instead.
*Minebots are great at distracting monsters. Just walk near and bash the distracted target with your drill. They can take quite a beating, though goliaths can take them down pretty quickly if you're not quick enough. Plus they collect all the crap gibtonite left.

*The mining drone can be repaired with a welding tool, but not in the middle of a fight. A goliath will always win in a one on one fight with a mining drone.
*Life improving things:
**Explorer suit upgrade : Goliath plates can be added to both an explorer suit, aswell as the hood that goes with said suit. Each part of the suit can hold 3 plates, stacking to 30% on each plate added. The plates will stack until they reach 60%, which may help you live in case a goliath grabs you.
**Security Jumpsuit : This gives a +10% melee resist to everywhere but your head. Nag the QM or HoP to give you one.
**Augmentations : Augs are useful for miners, as healing with a welder is ultimately easier. Plus they work differently than armor when it comes to protection, instead reducing all brute damage taken by an augmented body part by 5 (4 for burn). Downsides : EMP vulnerability and inability to heal augmented body parts normally.
**Getting your hands on a Mining Satchel of Holding is a game changer. You're able to hold an infinite amount of ores with just a small satchel, which allows for ore gathering at much higher speeds.
*Kinetic accelerators can be used as infinite tools to navigate space, since every time you fire, it'll throw you in the opposite direction.
*Dual Kinetic Accelerators allow you to do much more immediate damage, at the cost of slower recharge speed. Doing dual Kinetic Accelerators is advisable for new miners fighting megafauna, because it allows one to focus on dodging longer.
*The Hierophant can be manipulated and brought to the corners of the arena or out of it if you wish to smash ore at great yields. Just make sure to bring an ore box if you wish to do this without a satchel of holding.
*The Ore redemption machine can be unbolted and put on the mining shuttle then re-bolted for quick access. This saves you from taking the shuttle all the way back to the station just to dump your ore before going back.
*The pressure on lava land is actually harmless and is just enough for your Proto-kinetic Accelerator to do its maximum damage. The reason you have a suit is so you can have access to an oxygen tank and some reliable amour against the hostilities of lava land. But do know, the explorer suit does not work in space on the station Z level, but you can always buy a miner's hardsuit from the miner vendor machine for 2000 points, which will work in space.
*It is a very bad idea to mine with 2 PKAs with combat mode on. If you were to come across a gibonite you would hit it twice and it will immediately detonate, likely within the range of killing you. Hope you have a good mining medic.
=Dead Space=
A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages. The treasures on lavaland are among the most powerful and dangerous of any jobs. Certain minerals you'll find have more "specialized" uses - uranium structures will irradiate people, plasma can start fires, gibtonite goes boom. Robotics are generally willing to make you a mech, which you can use instead of fighting fauna to murder people on station. Megafauna and tendril treasures can be more powerful than even your uplink. In addition, lavaland is isolated, hard to get to, dangerous, and as expansive as you're willing to dig out. There is plenty of room to fight a guerilla war against the ones foolish enough to pursue you. However, you also have the weaknesses of being suspicious when on station, and the best loot is dangerous to obtain and/or time consuming.

Welcome, Miner! You will break rocks, slay monsters, and die lost and alone in the depths of the caverns. Not on some sandy asteroid, but on what we call Lavaland!

Bare minimum requirements: Stay alive long enough to return your loot to the station.

Workin' In The Coal Mine

Mining Dock
The Mining Dock is your access to the Mining Station.

Being a miner can be somewhat tedious, but you serve a crucial role in the R&D food chain, and can accrue some decent personal rewards. Just follow a few guidelines to keep yourself from becoming dead in the mines.

Your workplace, Lavaland, has some hazards:

  • Ash storms will cut right through your clothes, dealing constant burn damage if you are outside. A rain of dark particles outdoors indicate an ash storm. Some items of clothing can grant protection to ash storms.
  • Lava - one step in and you'll be badly burned and on fire.
  • Chasms - Anything that falls into one will disappear from this world. If you have a jaunter on you, it will automatically teleport you back onto the station if you fall into a chasm. However this won't mean that you'll be completely safe, you may jaunt into a space or a restricted area.

The risk of these hazards can be reduced by watching your step and being aware of your surroundings. Don't walk into lava, chasms, or outside during an ash storm. You'll get a text warning not long before a ash storm is about to begin, so long as you stay near shelter (or have a bluespace shelter capsule with you) then you'll be fine.

If you run into rock with a pick or drill in your inactive hand, it will automatically start digging for you. ALSO, it is important to note that you are able to click more than ONE square of rock or sand 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.

The minerals on Lavaland have two different levels of hardness. Level 1 minerals are light grey, and can be broken in 1 hit. Level 2 minerals are found on Hardened Basalt, a darker type of rock that needs 2 hits to be broken, and spawns more ores once broken. Granite is more likely to hold rarer minerals, as the brown rock takes three hits to break, and spawns even more ores once broken.

Working With Your Boss

Who is your boss? You answer to the Head of Personnel, much like the rest of Supply -- but usually, you'll just be talking to the Quartermaster or other Miners. The Quartermaster can watch cameras on lavaland and has full access to Mining, so keep that in mind.

The Objective

You're here to mine, so get digging! Once you have a sufficient amount of ores to deposit, be sure to empty your orebox with the ORM and claim your points. With the points you've claimed, you can get some pretty robust gear from the Mining Rewards Vendor. After you've done this and gotten your upgrades and extra equipment, head back down there and get back to work!

How to Do This

  1. Gear up! From the mining equipment locker, you will need Meson Scanner goggles, a mining scanner, a jaunter, a bluespace shelter capsule (DON'T FORGET!) and your standard issue proto-kinetic accelerator. If you want, there is also a additional mining satchel, and a shovel.
  2. Use your voucher on a mining vending machine to select your choice of advanced mining tool, listed below.
  3. Go to the Lavaland Mining Station and get an explorer suit, explorer gas mask, and oxygen tank from Mining 'EVA'. On the western side of the base, there is a mini-Medbay where you can find first-aid kits. There is also a maintenance room adjacent to it where you can top off internals.
  4. Before you go, you'll want an Ore Box, which can hold a massive amount of minerals. The mining base and mining shuttle have multiple of these for you to use..
  5. Make sure you've packed a bluespace shelter capsule if you plan on a long distance expedition, it can shield you in the event of a nasty storm.
  6. Find dem minerals. Click the scanner in hand to activate it: every once in a while it sends out a pulse that lets you see deposits in the rock a few tiles away from you. Try to get a mixture of every type of mineral.
  7. Pick up minerals by walking over them with a mining satchel on your person. If you're pulling an ore box, this will automatically pick them up with the ore box aswell.
  8. Go to the ore redeemer and get points. If R&D is proactive, the ore redeemer can be upgraded for extra mineral counts and point redemption.
  9. At the mining rewards vendor and the supply techfab, you can get upgrades that make mining a lot easier on yourself.
  10. Use your better gear to push deeper into Lavaland.
  11. If you feel robust enough, explore some Ruins and die horribly get amazing rewards.
  12. If you feel VERY robust, look for Megafauna with your GPS and try to kill it, for extremely painful death valuable loot.

Voucher

You start the shift with a complimentary mining voucher, worth one free item out of a selection of seven. These items, and their strengths, are:

  • Explorer's Kit: The webbing (you put on your belt slot) allows you to carry even more mining equipment - having a second shelter capsule is nice too. The duffelbag contains 3 lesser mining charges.
  • Resonator Kit: Comes with a resonator and mini extinguisher.
  • Mining Drone: A little companion that helps in storing ore and hunting wildlife. Only useful once you install the sentience upgrade module. Comes with an industrial welding tool, a welding mask and a KA modkit that allows shots to pass through the drone.
  • Extraction and Rescue Kit: Contains a fulton extraction pack and a beacon, which allows you to send back home minerals, items and dead miners without having to use the ferry. As a bonus, you get 30 marker beacons too.
  • Crusher Kit: Contains a proto-kinetic crusher and a mini fire extinguisher. The crusher is two-handed and hard to use without getting hit, but has a chance to make fauna drop powerful trophies.
  • Mining Conscription Kit: A dufflebag full of basic items for one conscript - pickaxe, kinetic accelerator, explorer's suit, mesons, mining scanner and satchel, gas mask, a supply radio key, a gem satchel, and a special card that adds mining access to IDs. Good for when you want to recruit metafriends fresh conscripts.
  • Mini Plasma Cutter Kit: A weak plasma based mining tool.

For Great Profit!

Mining for the sake of it can only get you so far. By mining minerals and returning them to the station you'll accrue mining points, you can then use these points to buy better and more powerful equipment and supplies from a equipment vendor. You can then in turn use these items to push further into Lavaland to mine better minerals, fell stronger wildlife and find greater treasure. Consider it all an investment.

A Wormhole Jaunter can help you escape what would have been a death trap. Or saving up for a Legion Stabilizer can let you save their instant healing heart for later. Grabbing Survival Medipens is also a great investment as the robust healing mix provided can save you when you're in a pinch.

Gear

The following is a list of mining equipment:

Essential Equipment

Item Description
Explorersuit.png
Explorer Suit
This comes with a inbuilt hood. It provides some protection against heat and cold, and works as decent armor. It is not spaceproof, but can hold a full-sized oxygen tank or other mining gear. You can also reinforce it with up to six goliath plates, with three going on the suit and three going on the hood.
Gasmask mining.pngOxygentank.png
Explorer Gas Mask and Oxygen Tank
So you can have oxygen when mining. Oxygen tanks are available from the tank storage unit, and can be worn on your suits storage slot. Running out of oxygen is unlikely with the full sized tank. You can also collapse your mask to eat if you are hungry.
MGlasses.png MiningScanner.gif
Meson Scanners and Automatic Mining Scanner
Mesons allow you to see the layout around you, useful when hunting megafauna and used with a light source. Activating the mining scanner will briefly flash any ore on screen - it works even inside a box. Can be used to stop gibtonite from exploding by tapping it with the scanner.
GPSm.gif
Global Positioning System (GPS)
The crew monitoring console back on the station won't catch your suit sensor signal from all the way down on the planet. Having one of these on you will help others track down your body if you happen to develop a case of the dead. In addition it can be used to locate other miners (who bothered to take it) as well as "lost" signals, be wary. Be sure to set your name on the GPS.
Knife survivial.png
Survival Knife
Use it for butchering the wildlife (hit with combat mode on). It's as strong against mobs as a pickaxe, but you can't mine with it. You can store it in your boots or proto-kinetic accelerator to save space, but remember to alt-click the boots to draw the knife back out.
BScapsule.png
Bluespace shelter capsule
Activate this in your hand, and it'll near instantly produce a beautiful shelter. Ash storms do not hurt you inside, but wildlife can break through the walls. The shelter contains a cupboard which contains a guitar and some donk pockets. It also has a sleeper which requires another person to use. Never leave home without one. You're issued one for free in your the mining lockers on station.
OreSatchel.png
Ore Satchel
For carrying ore without using a mining cart, holds 50 ore nuggets. Empty it into boxes by using the satchel on them. Put it in one of your pocket slots, then start dragging an ore box. Any ore you walk over will be transferred to the box.
KineticAccelerator.png
Proto-kinetic Accelerator
A gun. The good part is that it packs a punch in a vacuum and has infinite shots. The bad part is that it tickles in pressurized environments, has a cooldown after each shot, and has a range of three steps. Each blast can clear a rock wall if you feel like digging using this, which it can do well. Standard issue equipment you can get from your mining locker. Modifications found in the vendor or from the protolathe if researched.

Miscellaneous Equipment

Items that, while not critical to take, can be situationally useful.

Item Description
Bodycam Miner.png
Miner Body Camera
A wearable camera, capable of streaming a live feed. Provides a live feed to anyone viewing the linked camera network. Very useful for locating you if your GPS is turned off or lost.
Gem satchel.png
Gem Satchel
A satchel that specializes in holding gems instead of ore. Good if you want to haul some more valuable stones to the Cargo Bay to sell.
Pickaxe.png
Pickaxe
Somewhat antiquated thanks to the prevalence of the proto-kinetic accelerator and resonator. Nevertheless it can be used to dig wide tunnels, robust certain monsters in melee combat and as a backup if you lose your resonator. It can also fit inside a belt chest webbing.
Shovel.png
Shovel
Gathering sand. You can stick this in your backpack.
Orebox.png
Ore box
Used for carrying huge amounts of ore. While a satchel can only hold 50 nuggets, this can hold an unlimited sum. You cannot carry it but you can drag or push it with you. Use your satchel on the box to empty it into the box.
Crowbar.png
Crowbar
Just in case when coming back from the mines there is a blackout. Spawns in your backpack.
Stimpen.png
Survival Medipen
A cocktail of powerful healing chemicals. Contains Salbutamol, Leporazine, Tricordrazine, Epinephrine, lavaland extract and Omnizine.
Voucher.gif
Mining Voucher
Found in your backpack, exchange this at the mining equipment vendor for one of several items.
Seclite.png
Seclite
A beefed up flashlight. Put this on your KA to free up inventory space.

Advanced Gear

The following are mining items available from vending machines, protolathes or necropolis chests.

Necropolis Chest Loot List
Item Description
Paradox Bag
Paradox bag.png
A pair of bags with a linked storage: anything that is put in one can be pulled out of the other and vice versa.
Seismic Right Arm
Seismic r arm.png
A cybernetic right arm that functions and acts like a cyborg right arm. However, having this augment or replace your right arm will grant you a list of four unique spells which grant superior agility and strength. The list is as follows:

Lariat: Dash 5 spaces and deal 50 true Brute to any fauna you hit. People take 10 true Brute, and silicons take 12 true Brute. 7-second cooldown.
Mop the Floor: Dash 5 spaces and carry any target you connect with you. For every tile you carry a fauna, they take 20 true Brute and you gain 90% damage reduction for the duration. People take 4 true Brute per tile, and silicons take 5 true Brute per tile. In addition, you don't gain any damage reduction while carrying a person or silicon. Any fauna killed by this is gibbed. 7-second cooldown.
Suplex: Moves a target directly in front of you behind you. Fauna take 20 true Brute, people take 6 true Brute, and silicons take 8 true Brute. If the target is moved onto a fauna or a person, the latter takes 20 true Brute or 10 true Brute respectively. Any fauna killed by the targeted suplex is gibbed. 1-second cooldown.
Right Hook: Charge for 2 seconds to power up your arm. The charge lasts 5 seconds. While it's charged, hitting a target will send them flying eight spaces. Fauna take 100 true Brute, people take 15 true Brute, and silicons take 18 true Brute. If another mob is in the path of the target's flight, they will take 30 true Brute, 10 true Brute, or 11 true Brute, if they are a fauna/person/silicon, respectively, as well as being knocked over. This move disables the seismic right arm for 15 seconds, making every other power unusable until then.
Mop the Floor, Suplex, and Right Hook can send targets through rocks, dealing an additional 5 true Brute per tile they smash through. Any fauna killed by this will be gibbed.

Voodoo.png
A voodoo doll. To link it to someone, grab a small item they have touched and insert it into the doll; using the doll will allow you to choose a target based on the fingerprints on the inserted item. After being used, the doll has a chance of revealing its general direction or, more rarely, the room it's in, to the target. If it's set on fire, it has a 100% chance of revealing the room. To remove the linking item from a doll, use it while you're targeting the chest.
  • When using a hot item on it (I.E. welder/match/lighter) it will heat the target.
  • When using a sharp item on it it will cause severe pain to the target, stunning it.
  • When using a bike horn on it it will HONK him, also dealing ear damage.
  • Setting the doll on fire will also set the target on fire.

  • When using the doll while targeting an arm, the target will use that hand, or any item on it, on a random nearby mob.
  • When using the doll while targeting a leg, it will move the target randomly by a step.
  • When using the doll while targeting the eyes, it will allow the user to see through the target's eyes for ten seconds.

The Wildlife - Non-Sentient

Lavaland is filled with a variety of bloodthirsty alien lifeforms populating the caverns, walking just fine over the ponds and puddles of lava. Fortunately, you can fight them whilst taking minimal damage, if you have the know-how.

Useful items can be harvested from these creatures' corpses should you triumph; butcher them with a knife by attacking the corpse with combat mode on and the goods will spill out!

Legion

Legion.png
Considered annoying at worst, and a free medkit at best.

Statistics

Difficulty: Easy

Speed: Slow

Attacks

The legion itself cannot harm you directly. It will retreat from you constantly: maintaining a distance while attacking.

The legion attacks are as follows:

  • Unleashes legion skulls which seek out a target. Each of these skulls die with a single hit and deal light damage to the target.
  • If a skull attacks an unconscious being, it kills it instantly and transforms it into a legion.

Loot

When a legion dies, its original form is revealed. Legions do not drop any crafting materials, but they are valuable sources of healing to both miners and ash walkers, as they drop valuable legion cores which heal you greatly. The body they spawn once dead can be very useful to ashwalker reproduction.

It leaves behind the following:
1. The original body of itself. Usually these will be dead ashwalker bodies, but there may be a miner or something special that appears occassionally too!
2. A legion coreLegionsoul.gif. Hit yourself with the soul and it will instantly heal 25 brute and burn damage, and remove slowdown from damage for a minute. Don't think you can store these for later, though -- they will spoil after a few minutes, making them completely useless until you use a stabilizer from the vending machine. However, a legion core can be inserted in one's chest through surgery as an organ to provide a hands-free full heal. Using a legion core while not on Lavaland will take 4 seconds to apply to yourself, or 2 seconds to someone else. In addition, the damage slowdown removal is instead a reduction. These do not affect robotic limbs.

Other variants

There is one other version of the legion that is possible to come across, this has a 5% chance of appearing and a 100% chance of appearing in the Cafe of Broken Dreams Lava land ruin.

Dwarf Legion

Dwarflegion.png
On the rare occasion that a human with dwarfism falls to a legion, they can become infested like any other. Dwarf legions have 20 less health but move slightly faster. It's still rather harmless. 2 KA shots kill it, a couple of pickax swings will knock it out. It has the same loot as a normal legion.

Watcher

Watcher.png
A levitating, fierce, territorial eye-like creature held aloft by winglike formations of sinew. A sharp spine of crystal protrudes from its body.

Statistics

Difficulty: Medium

Speed: Very Slow

Attacks

Despite the slowdown they give to a target once hit, watchers can be kited. They will not attack unless you get close to them. They are very weak to explosions.

The watcher attacks are as follows:

  • Fires freezing beams at a target, cooling their body temperature and causing them to become slower.
  • Hits a target in melee range, dealing mild brute damage.

Loot

Watchers leave behind a body to butcher.

When this body is butchered, it leaves behind the following:
1. 2 pieces of diamond oreDiamond ore.png.
2. 2 pieces of watcher sinewSinew.png.
3. 1 boneBone.png.

Other variants

There are two other versions of the watcher that are possible to come across, these have a 1% chance of appearing.

Magmawing Watcher

Magmawingwatcher.png
The most common variant, when raised very close to lava some watchers adapt to the extreme heat and change coloration. Such watchers are known as magmawings and use intense heat as their tool for hunting and defense. The magmawing watcher shoots scorching blasts instead of freezing blasts, which heats you up and sets you on fire. Unlike normal watchers, a shot from this watcher will set you on fire and trying to roll it out will only result in the watcher getting more free shots on you, which means that you're pretty much forced to man up, pop a survival medi-pen, and melee it to death while you lose half of your HP to fire. It has normal watcher loot when butchered and has a small chance to drop a valuable calcified auric.

Icewing Watcher

Icewingwatcher.png
The least common variant, some watchers will eke out an existence far from heat sources. In the absence of warmth, their wings will become papery and turn to an icy blue; these watchers are fragile but much quicker to fire their trademark freezing blasts. The icewing watcher has 50% less health and fire shots 33% more often. Getting hit by a blast from an icewing watcher freezes you in a block of ice for a very short amount of time. Their loot is similar to the normal watcher when butchered: 5 diamond ore but no sinew, there is also a small chance they drop a valuable frost diamond.

Goliath

EdgyGoliath.png
The bane of many careless miners. These monsters carry a hefty health pool, a mean wallop, and a deceptively dangerous ranged attack. They are inherently resistant to lasers, so using a KA is the best option regarding dealing with these.

Statistics

Difficulty: Hard

Speed: Slow

Attacks

Goliaths will chase you down slowly, stopping every couple seconds to attack. Fighting them is simple: Shoot, step back, shoot, avoid tentacles. Repeat this process until it stops moving. Goliaths are much more lethal in groups, as you'll need to dodge tentacles more often and even two goliaths can stunlock you to death if one hits.

The goliath attacks are as follows:

  • Burrows several tentacles that emerge from the ground in random tiles around the target, trapping anything caught on targeted tiles for a long duration.
  • Slams itself into the target, dealing medium brute damage.

Loot

Goliaths leave behind a body to butcher. Goliath plates can be used to reinforce explorer suits, mining hardsuits and mechs. The meat can be cooked in lava.

When butchered, the body releases the following items:
1. 2 pieces of goliath meatGoliathmeat.png.
2. 2 bonesBone.png.
3. 1 goliath hideGoliathhide.png.

Other variants

There is one other version of the goliath that is possible to come across, this has a 1% chance of appearing.

Ancient Goliath

Ancientgoliath.png
This one is clearly ancient, and its tentacles constantly churn the earth around it. Tentacles constantly extrude from the ground around it, even when it is not aggroed to any particular object. When killed, they drop their goliath hide directly, more can be obtained through butchering.

Goldgrub

Goldgrub.png
Quite rare, these creatures swallow up any loose, valuable ore they can find and flee when approached by a human, smashing through even solid rock on their path of escape before burrowing into the ground. A tactic toward killing one is to throw an ore towards it, and quickly charging in to kill it while it's busy eating, but note that kinetic accelerator shots do nothing against these. Their skin is reflective, requiring a pickaxe melee smackdown to ensure a kill.

Statistics

Difficulty: Easy

Speed: Very Fast

Attacks

The goldgrub has no attacks.

Loot

When killed, they spit up multiple pieces of ore, based on what they ate. Feed them many different types of ore before killing them, and they'll spit out more of each type than you gave it! They also drop gold grub guts when butchered, which can be ground up for a potent medicinal reagent and rarely will also drop a valuable ruperium crystal. Use caution when consuming the gold grub guts however, it can cause severe liver damage if too much is ingested!

Marrow Weaver

Marrow.png
A violent, venomous arthropod. Its 8 legs allow it to scuttle across the basalts quickly, and its hard outer chitin makes it a tough foe for the unprepared.

Statistics

Difficulty: Medium

Speed: Fast

Attacks

A threatening spider that is harmless at a range, but can inject toxin and heal from eating the guts of corpses. Not too big of a threat, but the toxin damage is tricky to heal on the go.

The marrow weaver attacks are as follows:

  • Hits a target in melee range, dealing mild brute damage and injecting 4 units of spore toxin. If enraged (at or below 33% health), instead injects 8 units of venom.

Loot

Weavers leave behind a body to butcher.

When this body is butchered, it leaves behind the following:
1. 4 pieces of weaver chitin. Weaver Chitin.png
2. 2 pieces of watcher sinewSinew.png.
3. 3 bonesBone.png.
4. 2 pieces of uranium oreUraniumore.png.

Gutlunch

Gutlunch.png
A scavenger that eats raw meat, often found alongside ash walkers. Produces a thick, nutritious milk.

Statistics

Difficulty: Easy

Speed: Slow

Attacks

The gutlunch has no attacks.

Necropolis Tendrils

Tendril.png
Huge spikes of organic matter, from the base of which crawl out countless monsters. Each Tendril only spawns one kind of monster, between legions, goliaths and watchers, every once in a while, up to a maximum of three living monsters per tendril. The tendrils themselves are fairly fragile and will die in a few well-placed shots, if you can fight through the other mobs. Once killed, it will drop its loot, shake the earth around it for a while, and then spawn a huge chasm around it, destroying anything that did not get out of the way in time. Chasms are deadly even after formation and should be avoided.

Statistics

Difficulty: Medium to Very High

Speed: None

Attacks

The tendril itself has no attacks. Instead it spawns other mobs at a fast rate, the attacks of which are listed previously above.

Loot

When killed, they spawn necropolis chests which can contain a variety of useful artifacts.

Crusher Trophies

Gems

Gems are very valuable items dropped by megafaunas, other rare faunas and gem ores. These can be scanned with a mining scanner for a sizeable amount of points and shipped to centcom for a large sum of money, those are also possible bounties which will bring even more money. You can obtain large amounts of raw materials from some of those gems by either deconstructing them with a destructive analyzer (make sure it is upgraded for maximum yield) or by welding them to obtain sheets of raw materials.

The Wildlife - Sentient

You're not always the only sentient being on the planet. Aside from the lovecraftian horrors living down there you may also find several groups or factions of beings on the planet. Some hostile, some friendly.

For more information on these, click here.

Podmen

A small group of podmen were observed living inside a sealed vault. They appear minimally armed and seem to avoid leaving their home.

Statistics

Threat Level: Minimal

Hostile: Non-Hostile

Golems

An unidentified flying object was seen crashing by Recon Team Charlie during expedition #8. Alpha team on expedition #9 located a group of golems, the golems appeared utterly uninterested in their surroundings all things considered.

Statistics

Threat Level: Minimal

Hostile: Non-Hostile

Ashwalkers

It appears a group of Basiliscus Lizretus, also known as Lizardmen, live on the planet, they are hostile to all intruders. These 'ashwalkers' only started to appear when mining operations started, they are agile but lightly armed, wielding primitively forged armor and spears. They seem to follow a being of greater strength than the others, described as the Chieftain. They also appear to also have a hostile relationship with the wildlife, having been observed killing and dragging wildlife corpses away, as to why they need these corpses the recon team is unable to ascertain.

Statistics

Threat Level: Medium

Hostile: Hostile

Outpost Vets

A bluespace anomaly ripped these poor souls from their home planet, and threw them into this hell hole. You can call it bad luck or maybe you can call it fate. They don't seem very prone to Nanotrasen rule however, as their highest ranking officer abides to his or her own rules. It'd be risky to try to strike a deal with them, but overall they seem non hostile.

Statistics

Threat Level: Minimal

Hostile: Non-Hostile

Syndicate Scientists

Multiple facilities have been spotted by recon officers, but they are usually boarded up and appear to be abandoned. No expense was taken to collect information given that they were hidden behind large gaps of lava. Any attempt made must be recorded, and reported back to Nanotrasen. We don't know what could be behind those walls. Rumors have spread that there are scientists behind those walls, and others opened up that the Syndicate is targeting Nanotrasen again.

Statistics

Threat Level: High

Hostile: Hostile

The Ores

These are what you should be looking out for, generally try and get a good mix of the more exotic ore types. Mine gibtonite by hitting the ore with a mining tool then hitting it with your scanner. Don't wait too long or it will explode!

Alloys

Some ores can be smelted to produce alloys.

Who Needs What

  • Scientists at least a bit of every ore. In exchange they may upgrade your protolathe, allowing for you to get more advanced mining items.
  • Roboticists need diamond, uranium, silver and gold for building mech parts. Give them enough and you've indirectly helped out most of the departments on the station if the Roboticists are competent enough to build helpful stompy mechs for everybody! Too bad the Ripley is the only good mech for mining.
  • The Quartermaster may want mineral sheets to trade them in for bonus supply credits. Plasma in particular is both common and valuable.
  • Everybody could always use more iron, glass and plasteel, but especially Roboticists and Station Engineers.
  • The Chemist and Xenobiologist will all appreciate having extra plasma.
  • A competent Virologist can use several sheets of uranium to create incredibly powerful healing viruses.
  • A Clown with Bananium is a grateful and dangerous ally.
  • The Bartender can use a few sheets of uranium or iron to craft some of his rarest cocktails.
  • The Atmospheric Technician, though only a select few, can use dilithium crystals to incredible effect in their fusion reactions. If an atmos tech asks you to supply a few, you might want to pay attention.

The Wonders of Plasma Magmite

Plasma Magmite is a rare ore that spawns exclusively in Hardened Basalt and Granite. It can only be dropped if destroyed by an explosion (gibtonite, mining charge, etc).

Take it to the World Anvil located in a guaranteed spawn ruin emitting a tempered signal letting you use your GPS to find it. The World Anvil must be heated first by using Gibtonite. Once heated, placing a piece of Plasma Magmite on it will forge it into Plasma Magmite Upgrade Parts UpgradeParts.png that when used on a Proto-Kinetic Accelerator, Advanced Plasma Cutter or Plasma Cutter Shotgun it will upgrade them to their mega version. If the upgrade parts remain unused for 10 minutes they will become inert and need to be reheated at the World Anvil. The mega weapons are:

  • KineticAccelerator mega.pngThe Mega Proto-Kinetic Accelerator: This functions the same as the normal PKA but has 120% mod capacity (up from 100%)
  • Adv plasma cutter mega.pngThe Mega Advanced Plasma Cutter: This functions the same as an Advanced Plasma Cutter but goes 7 tiles with a bonus range of 7 tiles (up from 5/5)
  • Miningshotgun mega.pngThe Mega Plasma Cutter Shotgun: This functions the same as a Plasma Cutter Shotgun but goes 7 tiles with a bonus range of 3 tiles (up from 5/2), it will also automatically defuse Gibtonite without needing an additional upgrade.
  • Magmite-crusher.pngThe Magmite Crusher: This functions the same as a normal crusher but additionally cuts through rocks similar to plasma cutters.

Secrets of Lavaland

While on the planet, you may come upon artificial structures. They can have items ranging from magical artifacts, to other lifeforms, to alien facehuggers. If you are at all unsure, always let your mining buddies know using :u before going in, as some ruins can be very dangerous.

Tips

  • Going in pairs or in groups while mining decreases your likelihood of dying from fauna. This increases your lifespan while mining, but decreases the amount of ore mined generally.
  • Alternatively, go completely solo to lower the chance of friendly fire, increase your mining speed, and so you can keep the mining treasures for yourself.
  • If you aggro a megafauna, run AWAY from the mining outpost. Most megafauna can be easily outpaced but have a much higher aggro range while and shortly after chasing someone, and it becomes incredibly difficult to leave the planet when an ash drake is lounging around in the mining shuttle.
  • Your mining satchel will automatically pick up ores as long as it is on your immediate person (in pockets, on belt, in hands, etc.) If you are dragging an ore box, ores will automatically be dumped into that instead.
  • Minebots are great at distracting monsters. Just walk near and bash the distracted target with your drill. They can take quite a beating, though goliaths can take them down pretty quickly if you're not quick enough. Plus they collect all the crap gibtonite left.
  • The Proto-kinetic Accelerator can destroy electrified grilles without needing a pair of insulated gloves.
  • The Proto-kinetic Accelerator will obliterate a space carp in one hit while in space.
  • The Kinetic Crusher is a robust melee weapon even on station.
  • If you're expecting trouble on the station, consider taking out a window on the mining shuttle and bringing an RCD before you return to make a quick getaway so you're not trapped like a rat in a cage.
  • The mining drone can be repaired with a welding tool, but not in the middle of a fight. A goliath will always win in a one on one fight with a mining drone.
  • Life improving things:
    • Explorer suit upgrade : Goliath plates can be added to both an explorer suit, aswell as the hood that goes with said suit. Each part of the suit can hold 3 plates, stacking to 30% on each plate added. The plates will stack until they reach 60%, which may help you live in case a goliath grabs you.
    • Security Jumpsuit : This gives a +10% melee resist to everywhere but your head. Nag the QM or HoP to give you one.
    • Augmentations : Augs are useful for miners, as healing with a welder is ultimately easier. Plus they work differently than armor when it comes to protection, instead reducing all brute damage taken by an augmented body part by 5 (4 for burn). Downsides : EMP vulnerability and inability to heal augmented body parts normally.
    • Getting your hands on a Mining Satchel of Holding is a game changer. You're able to hold an infinite amount of ores with just a small satchel, which allows for ore gathering at much higher speeds.
  • Kinetic accelerators can be used as infinite tools to navigate space, since every time you fire, it'll throw you in the opposite direction.
  • Dual Kinetic Accelerators allow you to do much more immediate damage, at the cost of slower recharge speed. Doing dual Kinetic Accelerators is advisable for new miners fighting megafauna, because it allows one to focus on dodging longer.
  • The Hierophant can be manipulated and brought to the corners of the arena or out of it if you wish to smash ore at great yields. Just make sure to bring an ore box if you wish to do this without a satchel of holding.
  • The Ore redemption machine can be unbolted and put on the mining shuttle then re-bolted for quick access. This saves you from taking the shuttle all the way back to the station just to dump your ore before going back.
  • The pressure on lava land is actually harmless and is just enough for your Proto-kinetic Accelerator to do its maximum damage. The reason you have a suit is so you can have access to an oxygen tank and some reliable amour against the hostilities of lava land. But do know, the explorer suit does not work in space on the station Z level, but you can always buy a miner's hardsuit from the miner vendor machine for 2000 points, which will work in space.
  • It is a very bad idea to mine with 2 PKAs with combat mode on. If you were to come across a gibonite you would hit it twice and it will immediately detonate, likely within the range of killing you. Hope you have a good mining medic.

Dead Space

A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages. The treasures on lavaland are among the most powerful and dangerous of any jobs. Certain minerals you'll find have more "specialized" uses - uranium structures will irradiate people, plasma can start fires, gibtonite goes boom. Robotics are generally willing to make you a mech, which you can use instead of fighting fauna to murder people on station. Megafauna and tendril treasures can be more powerful than even your uplink. In addition, lavaland is isolated, hard to get to, dangerous, and as expansive as you're willing to dig out. There is plenty of room to fight a guerilla war against the ones foolish enough to pursue you. However, you also have the weaknesses of being suspicious when on station, and the best loot is dangerous to obtain and/or time consuming.

Tips for Traitoring

  • If you're a miner and you have to kill another miner; there's a really easy way to block communications one way so he can't call for help.
    • Grab a multitool, go to the mining communications room.
    • Use the multi tool on the relay and make sure the relay isn't sending, meaning your headset won't go to people on the station.
    • Kill your target with their shouts for help unheard.
  • More than one uranium wall is hilariously deadly, as they give off a pulse of radiation every couple of seconds. This pulse makes other uranium walls in range pulse as well, and they all run on their own timer.
  • Tiers 0-1-2-3 can gib bodies, remember mining suits take 50% of damage away from bombs, so strip miners you want to make disappear forever first.
  • Ripley is a fairly robust murdering tool, if you can, convince robotics to put a gravity catapult on it. SLAM PEOPLE INTO WALLS. THE SUFFERING NEVER ENDS.
  • Space is your best ally. Your weapons are more lethal in space, and anyone who wants to chase you will need access to a jetpack and EVA gear. Make people fight on your terms by blowing up the station with various Gibtonite charges, or bust in, stun and drag targets into space.
  • Survival Medipens and Legion Cores are extremely useful to counter the stations foolish attempts to kill you.
  • Stuns are the bane of any miners existence, using your TC to counter this is advisable.
  • Though the Hierophant staff loses its offensives capabilities on the station, the Hierophant's Antenna, which can be purchased as a traitor Miner, will allow the staff to work as it would normally do on lava land.
  • Without the Hierophants Antenna it is still a very strong and prominent kidnapping tool. You could stun your target and teleport them off the station onto a different Z level in seconds alone onto your playing fields and to crew it would seem as if they got erased from reality by a Chrono Legionnaire.
