-Mining Bot


Now, all five of these are useful in their own ways to a miner, but we'll go over that later. Just know that the resonator is a melee weapon, the kinetic crusher is a melee-ranged hybrid of a weapon, the mining bot is a simple helper, Miner's Webbing is just additional storage, and Fulton Extraction Set will allow you to safely pack anything on lavaland right to the beacon, in whatever place you placed it. Choose whichever one you want, because you'll get a lot of chances to try out the other things in later shifts. After you've gotten it, either place the item in your backpack or in the case of the bot, press ctrl and click on it to pull it behind you. It is not intelligent enough to follow you on its own unless you upgraded it with AI upgrade, which will make it sentient(controlled by a player) and obey you and only you.

Go west to a room with three suit storage lockers (if you're on Yogstation).  By now, a few of them have already been ransacked most likely. Walk up to one and either open it and click on the explorer suit buttons in the menu. Use your apparel menu again. Put the suit on in the middle armor icon, and put the gasmask on in your face icon. Or, like before, simply tap e for both.

This suit is lightly armored and designed to protect you from the dangers of lavaland atmosphere. Which is where you're going. With that, a gas mask, and an oxygen tank, you are fully prepared to go on walks. Now, you'll notice you already have an emergency oxygen tank in your pocket, but these things do not hold nearly as much oxygen as a real tank does. Thankfully, there is an oxygen tank dispenser in that very same room. It has blue tanks on it. Walk to it, click on it, and in the menu that appears, click oxygen tank to dispense one. One will appear over the dispenser. Pick it up and put it on with the e button, and notice which slot it goes to. This is your suit storage slot. If you are wearing anything in the suit slot, which is where your suit is, you will be able to add certain items to the suit storage slot. As a miner you will only use it for carrying oxygen tanks.
