====How to Do This====
# Gear up with standard pickaxe on belt, gloves on, mesons, crowbar into box, O2 into pocket, scanner into pocket. Get to Mining Outpost. Take additional satchel.
# Gear up! Take a pickaxe, wear fingerless gloves, wear mesons and put a scanner into your pocket. A shovel can be placed in your backpack. Get to the Mining Outpost. Take an additional satchel from the storage room in the station. You might need to have internals ready if the round has gone for some time.
# Select your choice of superior mining tool. Resonator is generally more useful and less of a hassle to use to mine but accelerators can be good for antags. It is always better to use resonator for fighting mining mobs. Always.
# Use your voucher on a mining vending machine to select your choice of mining tool. An accelerator or mining drone can help when fighting mobs.
# Take your mining rig. If you're new to mining, take a mining GPS and put it in your box. Name it "HELP" when you're in trouble. It's easy enough for telesci to understand that you want them to grab you. It will likely do nothing. Go to west side station and take one bruise pack and ointment from the medkit. Fill your pocket O2 fully up at the big oxygen canister, embark to mining outside the south airlocks. Lantern on your exo slot!

It's easy enough for telesci or other miners to understand that you want them to grab you, but they will likely do nothing. Go to west side station and take one bruise pack and ointment from the medkit. Fill your emergency O2 fully up at the big oxygen canister, embark to mining outside the south airlocks. Lantern on your exo slot!
# Find dem minerals. Use the scanner, for your first haul back to the station prioritize a mixture of silver,gold,uranium,diamonds but in small portions for anything not diamond (get as many diamonds as possible), have at least 1 ore satchel full of plasma, it's very important for miners to do this.
# Find dem minerals. There are more minerals on the West side of the asteroid, but the East side has no mobs to worry about. Use the scanner, for your first haul back to the station prioritize a mixture of silver, gold, uranium, diamonds but in small portions for anything not diamond (get as many diamonds as possible), Bring at least 50 ores of plasma.
# Go to the ore redeemer and get points for the plasma and diamonds, deliver some materials to R&D (10-15 sheets each material except iron) and everything else to Robotics. And buy either a jetpack or the more useful Stim pills. Consume at least 2 bottles of stim pills for a good lasting effect.
# Go to the ore redeemer and get points for the plasma and diamonds, deliver some materials to R&D (10-15 sheets each material except iron) and everything else to Robotics. And buy either a jetpack or the more useful MediPens. Inject at least 2 for a good lasting effect.
# Assuming you didn't fuck off into space with the jetpack, use your new found speed to find materials quickly. You are now either artifact hunting, or mob hunting till shuttle call (or still collecting materials for science, why you'd need to I don't know).

# Repeat until bored or shuttle arrives. You are now offically a miner who can be useful and make yourself stronger.
