changed the asteroid from saying "recent," added the mining medic to the access, and removed space suits from key items since there are none.

The mining station is located randomly in [[Lavaland]]. The shuttle is the lifeline between the [[Mining Dock|main station]] and lavaland and is the primary workplace for the brave [[Shaft Miner]]s. The shuttle contains a crate for processed minerals and an ore crate. [[Traitor|It can also carry megafauna from the mining base to the station]], so be careful not to run into the shuttle with one chasing after you. | |||
The mining station is the largest and only official Nanotrasen established base on the planet known as lavaland and is roughly split into living quarters, ore processing and EVA. As the mining station exists on a different Z-level from the station, it is often used as a place of exile for [[Heads of Staff]] and [[Revolution|Head Revolutionaries]]. It is also spared annihilation in case of a [[Nuke|nuclear explosion]] or [[Guide to malfunction|self-destruct]]. The mining station is often a hive of [[Changeling|scum]] and [[cult|villainy]], due to the various inhabitants and isolated nature of lavaland. | The mining station is the largest and only official Nanotrasen established base on the planet known as lavaland and is roughly split into living quarters, ore processing and EVA.

The mining station wasn't always based on lavaland. | The mining station wasn't always based on lavaland. Long ago, Nanotrasen had secured a plentiful supply of plasma on various asteroids, but that supply ran out years ago. So, after exhausting all the <s>hostile wildlife</s> minerals on the asteroid, Nanotrasen scoured space around the station for a new source for that sweet, sweet plasma. Luckily for you they found a young planet with a huge variety of minerals - most importantly plasma. Unluckily for you the planet is almost completely covered in lava, a host of deadly creatures and ash storms. | ||

==Mining Shuttle== | |||
[[File:Miningshuttle_box.png|The Mining Shuttle|left|frame]] | |||
The mining shuttle is the only way to access Lavaland and can be found at the end of Mining in most Cargos. It can be called with a mining shuttle console, which both the Space Station and Mining Station have. Miners use it to transfer both themselves and ore crates back and forth between the stations. | |||
The shuttle works like any other shuttle and will gib anything in the path of it's landing. It should be noted however that the shuttle can be operated by anyone and it's the only connection between the stations, making access to it extremely lucrative among [[Ashwalkers|ne'er do wells]] and other [[Golem#Free Golem|vagrants]] looking to use their ghost role as a free respawn (Granted, they will be stuck in the mining airlock since mining access is required to enter Cargo). For those daring enough to try, [[Megafauna]] can be coaxed into the shuttle with enough patience (and a rolling chair with a corpse in it) and brought onto the station to wreck havoc. It's a reckless thing to do that won't really accomplish much in the way of objectives, but its a fun gag to pull. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> | |||
