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!

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.

If you had to call the shuttle the first time, you know how to do this next part. Click on the console in front of you, click "send shuttle", and it will wait for a few seconds before going into hyperspace for a few seconds, then landing at the mining outpost. Do NOT leave the mining shuttle before it exits hyperspace 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.

- Medical kits from the station contain several items that can heal you quickly, but patches and basic ointment and brute packs take time to administer. You can also buy a brute medical kit for 600 mining points.

- 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.

These are fun little things that you might recognize as being from Dead Space. They can be used to mine, but their real usefulness lies in their robustness in combat. They're like resonators but harder hitting, basically. Great for fighting xenomorphs, but these end up being pretty inefficient tools overall to miners.
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.
