re-added segment on what people want -- it doesn't really have much to do with delivery, more with what you should prioritize

(Removed antiquated segment. Miners no longer deliver materials, instead those jobs now pick them up at the ore redemption machine.)

===The Objective===
===The Objective===
You're here to mine, so get digging! Once you're full to bursting with ores, drag your crate or ore box back to the station and head to cargo where the ore redemption machine sits. Insert your ID, and empty the box next to the machine to offload your ores and have them instantly processed into sheets, and left available for whoever needs it to pick up. You gain points for doing this, so be sure to claim them and then retrieve your ID. Now take your crate and it's back to the mines!

===Who Needs What===
Miners don't have to deliver ores directly to departments -- they can if they want, or if those bastards are too lazy to leave their fortress of <s>autism</s> science -- but it never hurts to know what to aim fir.
* [[Scientist]]s just want a little (10-15 of each is enough to last them the entire round) uranium, [[plasma]], diamond and gold. In exchange, they may give you a bomb or more advanced mining tools like a Sonic Jackhammer or a Diamond Drill, both for even faster digging!
* [[Roboticist]]s need diamond, uranium, silver and gold for building mech parts. Give them enough and you've indirectly helped out most of the departments on the station if the Roboticists are competent enough to build helpful stompy mechs for everybody! Too bad the Ripley is the only good mech for mining.
* The [[Quartermaster]] may want [[plasma]] sheets to trade them in for bonus supply points.
* Everybody could always use more iron, glass and plasteel, but especially Roboticists and [[Station Engineer]]s.
* The [[Virologist]], [[Chemist]] and [[Guide to xenobiology|Xenobiologist]] will all appreciate having extra plasma.
* A [[Clown]] with Bananium is a grateful and dangerous ally.
* The [[Bartender]] can use a few sheets of uranium or iron to craft some of his rarest cocktails.
