Being a miner isn't all that easy even after getting the hang of the process, unfortunately. There are | Being a miner isn't all that easy even after getting the hang of the process, unfortunately. There are three primary threats to a miner on the lavaland: gibtonite, a highly explosive ore often found alongside other ores, the monsters, and lava. | ||
Gibtonite is a crystalline substance that can be found using the mining scanner. It is blue with a orange-ish core. If you attempt to mine a tile with gibtonite in it, it will react to the kinetic energy of your swings and begin to detonate. At this point, you have two options: run the hell away, or click on it with your mining scanner to disarm it. Running away is just fine. Disarming it is fine too, but there's some advantages to letting it detonate on its own, which will be covered in Mining 201. Either way, it is not much of a threat to you unless there are multiple gibtonite deposits in close proximity and they chain react before you can evade them. | Gibtonite is a crystalline substance that can be found using the mining scanner.
