You, on the other hand, are using this guide; and aside from being incredibly handsome, you also know you need to grab basic mining gear from a mining locker, which consists of the following: | ||
-Optical Meson Scanner | -Optical Meson Scanner (These let you see tiles you normally wouldn't be able to (obstructed or too dark), but not their contents) | ||
-Seclite | -Seclite (The planet is dark. Really dark.) | ||
-Proto-Kinetic Accelerator | -Proto-Kinetic Accelerator | ||
-Mining Satchel | -Mining Satchel | ||
-Mining Scanner | -Mining Scanner | ||
-Survival Capsule | |||
A mining locker (brown locker with a purple pickaxe on it) can be found to your right and below you if you're on the boxstation map. If there are no lockers in those directions, you're probably on a different map, in which case you should seek out the nearest brown locker. Once you are beside one, simply click on it to unlock it, then click on it again to open it. Inside will be a huge pile of crap, but you only want a few things from it. Press alt, then click on the stack of items to make a list of all the items in it appear in the upper right hand panel. Then, click on each of the items listed above. | |||
Put on the optical meson scanners (they go in your eyewear slot). | Put on the optical meson scanners (they go in your eyewear slot). Use the seclite in hand (click it or press Z while it's in your active hand) to turn it on and put it either in a pocket slot or on your kinetic accelerator. Put the kinetic accelerator in your backpack or on your belt if you've put the seclite on it. The belt slot is the only slot that can carry pickaxes, mining drills, sonic jackhammers, and et cetera aside from your back slot, but you want your backpack on your back slot as that is the only slot that can carry a backpack. Luckily the kinetic accelerator makes pickaxes (mostly) obsolete. Put the mining satchel in one of your pockets. Use the mining scanner in hand (click it or press Z while it's in your active hand) and put it in your backpack or internals box. | ||

All ships in this game move at such incredible speeds that you must be buckled into a chair if you wish to not topple to the ground. To buckle yourself in, click on your character and drag the cursor onto the chair. If you do it right, the text logs will say "______ has buckled themselves in!" You can also buckle other people into chairs by clicking them and dragging the mouse onto said chair. | All ships in this game move at such incredible speeds that you must be buckled into a chair if you wish to not topple to the ground.

Click on the console in front of you, click "send shuttle", and it will wait for a few seconds before going into hyperspace for a few seconds, then landing at the mining outpost. Do NOT leave the mining shuttle before it exits hyperspace if you like being alive. If you buckled in, you'll be just fine right now. If you didn't, you'll be laying on the ground for a few seconds before you get back up. To unbuckle yourself in the former case, simply click on the chair and you will be free again. | ||

Now that you're on the mining outpost, exit the shuttle and head to the right. The big green square things with the blinking lights are what you want. They're the mining vendor machines, and you have a voucher for them. Open you bag, take out the voucher, and click on one of the vendors with it in your hand. A menu will pop up with three options: | Now that you're on the mining outpost, exit the shuttle and head to the right. The big green square things with the blinking lights are what you want.

-Proto-kinetic Crusher | -Proto-kinetic Crusher (High risk/reward substitute weapon for the kinetic accelerator, still breaks rocks just as good. Requires two hands to carry. Comes with a pocket fire extinguisher) | ||
-Miner's Webbing (Belt slot storage item for useful mining items, comes with a survival capsule) | |||
-Resonator (Drops delayed traps that can be used to break rocks, comes with a pocket fire extinguisher) | |||
This suit is lightly armored and will help protect against burning, which is common on Lavaland. With that, a gas mask, and an oxygen tank, you are fully prepared to go on walks. Now | -Fulton Extraction set (Comes with a fulton beacon and fulton kit, the beacon can be used in hand to deploy it after a few seconds, and the kit can be used in hand to link it to the beacon, hitting anything with the kit will send it to the beacon after a short delay) | ||
-Mining Bot (Automatic ore box that has a kinetic accelerator that can be upgraded, comes with a minebot passthrough upgrade, a large welder, and a welding helmet for repairs) | |||
Go east to a room with three suit storage units (if you're on Yogstation). By now, a few of them have already been ransacked most likely. Walk up to one and either open it and click on the explorer suit buttons in the menu. Use your apparel menu again. Put the suit on in the middle armor icon, and put the gasmask on your face icon. Or, like before, simply tap e for both. | |||
This suit is lightly armored and will help protect against burning, which is common on Lavaland. With that, a gas mask, and an oxygen tank, you are fully prepared to go on walks. Now while you already have an emergency oxygen tank in your internals box (the box in your backpack), emergency tanks generally last only a few minutes and you'll be outside breathable atmosphere far longer than that. Thankfully, there is an oxygen tank dispenser in that very same room. It has blue tanks on it. Walk to it, click on it, and in the menu that appears, click oxygen tank to dispense one. One will appear over the dispenser. Pick it up and put it on with the e button, and notice which slot it goes to. This is your suit storage slot. If you are wearing anything in the suit slot, which is where your suit is, you will be able to add certain items to the suit storage slot. As a miner you will mainly use it for carrying oxygen tanks. A full sized oxygen tank will last you the whole round. | |||
Now you're fully equipped as a miner! | Now you're fully equipped as a miner! | ||
