*Chasms - Anything that falls into one will disappear from this world. If you have a jaunter on you, it will automatically teleport you back onto the station if you fall into a chasm. However this won't mean that you'll be completely safe, you may jaunt into a space or a restricted area.

The minerals on Lavaland have two different levels of hardness. Level 1 minerals are light grey, and can be broken in 1 hit. Level 2 minerals are found on '''Hardened Basalt''', a darker type of rock that needs 2 hits to be broken, and spawns more ores once broken. '''Granite''' is more likely to hold rarer minerals, as the brown rock takes three hits to break, and spawns even more ores once broken.

# Gear up! From the mining equipment locker, you will need Meson Scanner goggles, a mining scanner, a jaunter, a bluespace shelter capsule (DON'T FORGET!) and your standard issue proto-kinetic accelerator. If you want, there is also a additional mining satchel, and a shovel.

*'''Explorer's Kit''': The webbing (you put on your belt slot) allows you to carry even more mining equipment - having a second shelter capsule is nice too. The duffelbag contains 3 lesser mining charges.

*'''Mining Conscription Kit''': A dufflebag full of basic items for one conscript - pickaxe, kinetic accelerator, explorer's suit, mesons, mining scanner and satchel, gas mask, a supply radio key, a gem satchel, and a special card that adds mining access to IDs. Good for when you want to recruit metafriends fresh conscripts.

*'''Mini Plasma Cutter Kit''': A weak plasma based mining tool.

|Yes

|Contains a pickaxe, kinetic accelerator, mesons, an ore scanner, an ore satchel, an explorer suit, a gas mask, a supply encryption key, a gem satchel, and a card which adds mining access to IDs.

|Yes

!Jetpack Upgrade<br>[[File:Mining_jetpack.gif|32px]]

|For when you want something shinier and better than your default pickaxe and the scientists are either too lazy or too dead to make drills or jackhammers. STILL worse than a basic KA.

|No

!Seismic Right Arm<br>[[File:Seismic r arm.png|32x32px]]

|A cybernetic right arm that functions and acts like a cyborg right arm. However, having this augment or replace your right arm will grant you a list of four unique spells which grant superior agility and strength. The list is as follows:<br>

'''Lariat''': Dash 5 spaces and deal 50 true Brute to any fauna you hit. People take 10 true Brute, and silicons take 12 true Brute. 7-second cooldown.<br>

'''Mop the Floor''': Dash 5 spaces and carry any target you connect with you. For every tile you carry a fauna, they take 20 true Brute and you gain 90% damage reduction for the duration. People take 4 true Brute per tile, and silicons take 5 true Brute per tile. In addition, you don't gain any damage reduction while carrying a person or silicon. Any fauna killed by this is gibbed. 7-second cooldown.<br>

'''Suplex''': Moves a target directly in front of you behind you. Fauna take 20 true Brute, people take 6 true Brute, and silicons take 8 true Brute. If the target is moved onto a fauna or a person, the latter takes 20 true Brute or 10 true Brute respectively. Any fauna killed by the targeted suplex is gibbed. 1-second cooldown.<br>

'''Right Hook''': Charge for 2 seconds to power up your arm. The charge lasts 5 seconds. While it's charged, hitting a target will send them flying eight spaces. Fauna take 100 true Brute, people take 15 true Brute, and silicons take 18 true Brute. If another mob is in the path of the target's flight, they will take 30 true Brute, 10 true Brute, or 11 true Brute, if they are a fauna/person/silicon, respectively, as well as being knocked over. This move disables the seismic right arm for 15 seconds, making every other power unusable until then.<br>

Mop the Floor, Suplex, and Right Hook can send targets through rocks, dealing an additional 5 true Brute per tile they smash through. Any fauna killed by this will be gibbed.

|A bottle containing 5 units of flight potion. Ingesting flight potion will give the drinker wings if they are human or phytosian/podperson. Wings allow jetpack-like movement wherever there's air when activated, also giving increased speed and free movement over tables and chasms.<br>

|A rod that can be used to make yourself start swearing an oath. If you finish the oath, the staff will bind to your hand, giving you a healing aura and pacifism. When released, the snake bite injects godblood. Dying with the rod will transfer your mind to the snake. In addition, the rod itself can both copy procedures from a surgery computer and be used as a defibrillator when performing [[Surgery#Revival|Revival]] surgery.

!Random Null Rod<br>[[File:Null.png|32px]]

|A random variation of the [[Chaplain#Null_Rod|chaplain's holy weapon]], will ward you against spells and magic, some may be impossible to drop once picked.

|A pair of cubes. When one is used, it teleports the user to the location of the other cube instantly. Takes 3 seconds to use if the user is not on Lavaland.

|Gauntlets that provide the user the ability to mine through rock with their bare hands at high speed while defusing gibtonite, and provide armor to the user's arms. They are immune to fire, acid, and lava.

2. A legion core[[File:Legionsoul.gif]]. Hit yourself with the soul and it will instantly heal 25 brute and burn damage, and remove slowdown from damage for a minute. Don't think you can store these for later, though -- they will spoil after a few minutes, making them completely useless until you use a stabilizer from the vending machine. However, a legion core can be inserted in one's chest through [[surgery]] as an organ to provide a hands-free full heal. Using a legion core while not on Lavaland will take 4 seconds to apply to yourself, or 2 seconds to someone else. In addition, the damage slowdown removal is instead a reduction. '''These do not affect robotic limbs.'''

The most common variant, when raised very close to lava some watchers adapt to the extreme heat and change coloration. Such watchers are known as magmawings and use intense heat as their tool for hunting and defense. The magmawing watcher shoots scorching blasts instead of freezing blasts, which heats you up and sets you on fire. Unlike normal watchers, a shot from this watcher will set you on fire and trying to roll it out will only result in the watcher getting more free shots on you, which means that you're pretty much forced to man up, pop a survival medi-pen, and melee it to death while you lose half of your HP to fire. It has normal watcher loot when butchered and has a small chance to drop a valuable [[Shaft Miner#Calcified Auric|calcified auric]].

The least common variant, some watchers will eke out an existence far from heat sources. In the absence of warmth, their wings will become papery and turn to an icy blue; these watchers are fragile but much quicker to fire their trademark freezing blasts. The icewing watcher has 50% less health and fire shots 33% more often. Getting hit by a blast from an icewing watcher freezes you in a block of ice for a very short amount of time. Their loot is similar to the normal watcher when butchered: 5 diamond ore but no sinew, there is also a small chance they drop a valuable [[Shaft Miner#Frost Diamond|frost diamond]].

*Burrows several tentacles that emerge from the ground in random tiles around the target, trapping anything caught on targeted tiles for a long duration.

When killed, they spit up multiple pieces of ore, based on what they ate. Feed them many different types of ore before killing them, and they'll spit out more of each type than you gave it! They also drop gold grub guts when butchered, which can be ground up for a potent medicinal reagent and rarely will also drop a valuable [[Shaft Miner#Ruperium Crystal|ruperium crystal]]. Use caution when consuming the gold grub guts however, it can cause severe liver damage if too much is ingested!

*Hits a target in melee range, dealing mild brute damage and injecting 4 units of spore toxin. If enraged (at or below 33% health), instead injects 8 units of venom.

Plasma Magmite is a rare ore that spawns exclusively in '''Hardened Basalt''' and '''Granite'''. It can only be dropped if destroyed by an explosion (gibtonite, mining charge, etc).
