'''Hostile''': Non-Hostile

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.

'''Threat Level''': High

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!

Some ores can be smelted to produce alloys.

'''Obtain by''': Smelting plasma and titanium.

*[[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 [[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 Engineer]]s.

*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.

Take it to the '''World Anvil''' located in front of the necropolis gate. The World Anvil must be charged by using Gibtonite to upgrade your Kinetic Accelerator or Advanced Plasma Cutter. Placing a piece of Plasma Magmite and your desired item to upgrade on the heated anvil and then pressing the anvil will upgrade them into new items:

*Mega Proto-Kinetic Accelerator This functions the same as the normal PKA but has 120% mod capacity (up from 100%)

=Secrets of Lavaland=

*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 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.

**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.

**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 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.

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===

** Grab a multitool, go to the mining communications room.

**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.

*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.
