More than half the people I see who go into the mines end up dead in a ditch underneath a Goliath somewhere and I usually end up dragging their dead body back to medbay. I'm honestly tired of doing it. This is for all the people who perish in the fiery abyss of the lavaland due to being inexperienced and unprepared. With this guide, and a little practice, anyone should be able to be the one dragging scrubs back to get cloned! Yaaay! | More than half the people I see who go into the mines end up dead in a ditch underneath a Goliath somewhere and I usually end up dragging their dead body back to medbay.

All ships in this game move at such incredible speeds that you must be buckled into a chair if you wish to not topple to the ground. To buckle yourself in, click on your character and drag the cursor onto the chair. If you do it right, the text logs will say "______ has buckled themselves in!" You can also buckle other people into chairs by clicking them and dragging the mouse onto said chair. | All ships in this game move at such incredible speeds that you must be buckled into a chair if you wish to not topple to the ground.

Click on the console in front of you, click "send shuttle", and it will wait for a few seconds before entering bluespace for a few seconds, then landing at the mining outpost. Do NOT leave the mining shuttle before it exits bluespace if you like being alive. If you buckled in, you'll be just fine right now. If you didn't, you'll be laying on the ground for a few seconds before you get back up. To unbuckle yourself in the former case, simply click on the chair and you will be free again. | ||

- Survival medipens will heal you over time and are injected instantly, you'll start with one and can purchase more for 500 mining points each. They are however much slower acting than legion cores and you can overdose if you take too many in short order. | - Survival medipens will heal you over time and are injected instantly, you'll start with one and can purchase more for 500 mining points each.

- Cacti and leafy mushrooms contain vitrium froth, a chemical that will slowly heal you when ingested. Eating too much will cause you to get fat and slow you down, however. | - Cacti and leafy mushrooms contain vitrium froth, a chemical that will slowly heal you when ingested.

My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel... We will become part of each other." - excerpt from the Rifleman's Creed | My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother.

The kinetic accelerator is the bread and butter of mining on lavaland, it's roughly as fast as a pickaxe and its projectiles have a range of three tiles. The damage it deals out of atmosphere is heavy enough to make it competitive with the fauna's health, if you're careful, you can kill basically anything planetside without taking a single point of damage. | |||
Each shot from one of these in a vacuum deals 40 damage, and the kinetic accelerator can be upgraded with modkits, which each take up a % of its mod capacity: | |||
Damage: Increases damage by 10, uses 30% mod capacity | |||
Cooldown: Reduces the kinetic accelerator's cooldown time, uses 30% mod capacity | |||
Range: Increases the kinetic accelerator's range by 1 tile, uses 25% mod capacity | |||
AoE: Gives the kinetic accelerator's blasts a 3x3 area of effect attack, with a variant for mining, for damaging, and a rare variant that does both, uses 30% mod capacity | |||
There are some other special modkits that can be found from destroying necropolis tendrils which have unique effects but aren't as all around applicable as the basics | |||

An automatic mining scanner similar to the one you start with except it has a much larger range and pulses much more often. Buy it if you want to find ores better. | |||

These | These can cut massive lines of rocks and cut off limbs, but have very weak damage output. The default one can destroy a line of up to 7 rocks, while the advanced one can destroy lines of 10. Advanced cutters also use less plasma per shot, fire faster, and deal slightly more damage. They can also function as a fast welder, but using them as such will eat a decent amount of charge. | ||
