Once you're full to bursting with ores, drag your crate back to the station and head to the escape wing where the ore redemption machine machine sits. Insert your id, and drag the crate next to the machine to offload your ores and have them instantly processed into sheets. You gain points for doing this, so be sure to claim them and make sure you retrieve your id, then take your crate back to the mines! | ||

* [[File:Resonator.png|32px]] Resonator - Another deadly tool. This will instantly clear a rock wall when clicked on, and when used in hand or swung at empty space, will create a field on that spot that lasts for about five seconds before rupturing, causing serious damage to anything standing on it. | * [[File:Resonator.png|32px]] Resonator - Another deadly tool.

* [[File:MiningDrone.png|32px]] Mining Drone - This helpful little guy goes around collecting loose ore so you don't have to. Will drop its haul when you hit it with the mining scanner. Clicking on it with an empty hand will toggle it between ore collection and wildlife fighting mode, where it will attack xenos with its built-in kinetic accelerator and drill. | * [[File:MiningDrone.png|32px]] Mining Drone - This helpful little guy goes around collecting loose ore so you don't have to.

===The Wildlife=== | |||
While the eastern half of the asteroid is free of harmful things (Save for the occasional murderous traitor, rogue cyborg, and gibtonite deposit.), it quite sparse in any ore more precious than plain iron. The western half has much richer bounty of minerals to harvest... but there's a bit of a problem in the form of a variety of bloodthirsty alien life forms populating the caverns. Fortunately, you can fight them if you know how, and useful items can be harvested from their corpses when you triumph. | |||
* [[File:Hivelord.png|32px]] Hivelord - Considered annoying at the worst, and a free medkit at best. These strange creatures will unleash hivelord brood one after another at you whilst trying to keep distant. Fortunately, each of its spawn dies in a single hit, and deal tickle damage to you. It's best go go on the aggressive against these with pickaxe in hand, advancing constantly whilst picking away each of its brood. Once you've closed the gap or have it stuck in a corner, it's toast. Drops its core when killed, which when eaten will restore your health to its peak, even cure diseases or any other ailment on your body. | |||
* [[File:Goliath.png|32px]] Goliath - The bane of many careless miners. These monsters carry a hefty health pool, a mean wallop, and can even knock you down from a distance with a ground-bursting tentacle attack while they advance toward you, crushing through walls with ease. However, they're incredibly slow and mindless, leaving them extremely vulnerable to being lured into resonator fields or simply being hit and ran with a kinetic accelerator. The main issue is their tentacle attack, which can be dodged with the right know-how. Each time it attempts to trip you, four tentacles appear on and around you, always leaving one spot open, simply move there to avoid it, but do make sure that spot doesn't have a wall blocking it. Once dodged, you have time to deal some damage while the tentacles are on cooldown. When felled, these beasts leave behind their hide plates, which can be used on your hardsuit and helmet to reinforce it against melee damage, up to five plates may be used on each to cap it at a hefty 90%(!) damage resistance. | |||
