==Workin' In The Coal Mine==
Being a miner can be slightly boring as of now, but [[Beyond the impossible|that's soon to change]]. Just follow a few guidelines here to keep yourself from becoming dead in the mines.  ALSO, it is important to note that '''you are able to click more than ONE square of asteroid at a time''' when mining or digging for sand!  As long as it's accessible, you don't have to wait to finish digging before you start digging again, so you can have several dig jobs running in parallel. Just don't change hands or move until all dig jobs are done and save yourself some time!
Being a miner can be somewhat boring, unless you go out and fight monsters.

Take your Mining Pick in one hand and your Satchel in your active hand. Run into a rock. You're now automatically digging in it. Use this to mine using only your keyboard, for a quicker done job.

A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages. You have a space suit for free right away, a pair of gloves, access to highly toxic and/or explosive minerals, and your mining tools are robust as fuck too! As long as you have some mineral wealth on 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, the mining station is isolated, hard to get to, and as expansive as you're willing to dig out. Plenty of room for somebody to get lost in... ''Forever!''
