Welcome Miner, to the wonderful caverns of this [[Mining Station|Nanotrasen Claimed Asteroid]].
Welcome Miner, to the wonderful caverns of this [[Mining Station|Nanotrasen Claimed Asteroid]]. Here, you will break rocks, slay monsters, and die lost and alone in the depths of the caverns.

Being a miner can be somewhat boring, unless you go out and fight monsters. 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 tedious, but you serve a crucial role in the R&D food chain, as well as being able to accrue some decent personal rewards. 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!


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.
If you run into rock with a pick or drill in your inactive hand, it will automatically start digging for you.


===Working With Your Boss===
===Working With Your Boss===
Who is your boss? The answer is the Quartermaster. Don't expect to interact with this guy much, though, as he'll often be too busy directing his cargo tech slaves or sleeping in his office to ever regard your existence.
Who is your boss? You answer to the Head of Personnel, much like the rest of Supply - But usually, you'll just be talking to the Quartermaster. He can watch cameras on the Asteroid and has full access to Mining, so keep that in mind.


===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. 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!

# Gear up! From the mining equipment locker, take a pickaxe and a lantern, wear fingerless gloves, wear mesons and put a scanner into your pocket. A shovel can be placed in your backpack. Use the shuttle to enter the mining outpost, if you have spawned on the station. You might need to have internals ready if the round has gone for some time.
# Gear up! From the mining equipment locker, you will need Meson Scanner goggles, a Mining Scanner, and a Pickaxe. If you want, there are also fingerless (useless) gloves, an additional mining satchel, and a shovel.
# Use your voucher on a mining vending machine to select your choice of mining tool. A kinetic accelerator or mining drone can help when fighting mobs.

# Take and wear a mining hardsuit, helmet and breath mask from EVA. Go to west side of the station and take one bruise pack and ointment from the medkit. Fill your emergency O2 fully up at the big oxygen canister in the maintenance room and embark to mining outside the south airlocks. '''You need to have internals and your hardsuit on to survive outside!''' Drag an ore box with you to store minerals.
# Take and wear a mining hardsuit, breath mask, and oxygen tank from Mining EVA. On the western side of the base, there is a mini-Medbay from which you can borrow supplies. There is also a maintenance room adjacent to it where you can top off internals.
# Before you go, you'll want an Ore Box - It can hold an infinite amount of minerals. Empty your Mining Satchel into it periodically and drag it about.
# Pick a destination: Both sides have a transit tube you can shove yourself into for quick access to the relevant outposts, located near the Mining Shuttle.
# Find dem minerals. There are more minerals on the west side of the asteroid, but the east side has no mobs to worry about. Use the scanner to be able to see valuable minerals. Try to get a mixture of:

::Sand can be digged up with a shovel or drill and iron can be seen without a scanner, but they do not redeem as many points as the other minerals.

# Go to the ore redeemer and get points for the plasma and diamonds, deliver some materials to R&D (10-15 sheets each material except iron) and everything else to Robotics. Ask R&D for a diamond mining drill if they have diamonds.

# At the mining equipment vendor you can get sonic jackhammers, jetpacks or MediPens with the points you've gained.

# Assuming you didn't fuck off into space with the jetpack, use your new found speed to find materials quickly. You are now either artifact hunting, or mob hunting till shuttle call (or still collecting materials for science, why you'd need to I don't know).
# Repeat until bored or shuttle arrives. You are now offically a miner who can be useful and make yourself stronger.

The following is a list of default mining equipment:
The following is a list of default mining equipment:
* [[File:RIG.png|32px]] '''Mining [[Space suit|Hardsuit]] and Helmet''' - Used so you don't freeze to death in the airless tunnels of the <s>resource-rich</s> barren planetoid.  
* [[File:RIG.png|32px]] '''Mining [[Space suit|Hardsuit]]''' - Used so you don't freeze to death in the airless tunnels of the <s>resource-rich</s> planetoid.  
* [[File:BreathMask.png|32px]] '''[[Breath mask|Breath Mask]] and [[Oxygen]] Tank''' - So you can have oxygen when mining. Oxygen tanks are available from the tank storage unit, and they can be worn on your back. You can also use your emergency oxygen tank which can be placed on your suit. Running out of oxygen is unlikely with the full sized tank.
* [[File:BreathMask.png|32px]] '''[[Breath mask|Breath Mask]] and [[Oxygen]] Tank''' - So you can have oxygen when mining. Oxygen tanks are available from the tank storage unit, and they can be worn on hardsuit's storage slot. You can also use your emergency oxygen tank which can be placed on your suit. Running out of oxygen is unlikely with the full sized tank.
* [[File:MGlasses.png|32px]] [[File:MiningScanner.png|32px]] '''[[Meson Goggles|Meson Scanners]] and  Mining Scanner''' - When used together will briefly flash any non-iron ore on screen.

* [[File:GPSm.gif|32px]] '''Global Positioning System, GPS''' - The crew monitoring console back on the station won't catch your suit sensor signal from all the way at the asteroid. Having one of these on you will help others track down your body if you happen to develop a case of the dead.
