These are what you should be looking out for, generally try and get a good mix of the more exotic ore types. Mine gibtonite by hitting the ore with a mining tool then hitting it with your scanner. Don't wait too long or it will explode! | These are what you should be looking out for, generally try and get a good mix of the more exotic ore types.

*The [[Atmospheric Technician]], though only a select few, can use dilithium crystals to incredible effect in their fusion reactions. If an atmos tech asks you to supply a few, you might want to pay attention. | *The [[Atmospheric Technician]], though only a select few, can use dilithium crystals to incredible effect in their fusion reactions.

While on the | While on the planet, you may come upon artificial structures. They can have items ranging from magical artifacts, to other lifeforms, to [[Aliens|alien facehugger]]s. If you are at all unsure, always let your mining buddies know using :u before going in, as some ruins can be very dangerous. | ||

*Always go with at least two other people when mining. Not only can you mine faster together, the chance that they could both be 'lings/traitors is rather low.

=Dead Space= | |||
A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages. You have a space suit for free right away and a robust pickaxe. Certain minerals you'll find have more "specialized" uses -- uranium structures will irradiate people, plasma can start fires, gibtonite goes boom. You can also buy dangerous "mining" tools and possibly even revive those monsters you've been fighting. As long as you have some mineral wealth or an ore box with you, no one will suspect your presence around the station, even in highly restricted areas like robotics or toxins, and if you are smart enough, you could get a big stompy mech to drill people to death! In addition, lavaland is isolated, hard to get to, dangerous, and as expansive as you're willing to dig out. Plenty of room for somebody to get lost in...
