=== 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.

=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.

*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.
