|Considered annoying at worst, and a free medkit at best. These creatures unleash legion skulls, one after another at you whilst trying to keep a distance. Fortunately, each of its spawn dies in a single hit (even a single punch), and deal tickle damage to you; the legion itself can't directly hit you. It's best to go on the aggressive against these with pickaxe in hand, advancing constantly whilst picking away each of its brood. Once you've closed the gap or have it stuck in a corner, it's toast.

It drops a soul when killed. Hit yourself with the soul and it will instantly restore your health to its maximum, and even cure diseases or any other ailment on your body. It also has the side effect of purging any beneficial chemicals from your system, so don't munch one just after injecting a stimulant. Don't think you can store these for later, though -- they will spoil after a few minutes unless you use a stabilizer from the vending machine. However, legion souls, spoilt or not, can be inserted in one's chest through [[surgery]] to provide a constant regenerating effect.

|Fierce, territorial beasts capable of firing freezing beams, cold enough to inflict serious freeze burns while the watcher closes in and attacks its immobilized target. Fortunately, they don't attack unless someone comes very close to them, so if you don't feel confident, you can just wait until you have a few more goliath plates, or maybe some gibonite.

Despite the slowdown, watchers can be kited. However, it is often a better idea to '''just melee them''' with your pickaxe in the event that you have several goliath plates. Have a brute patch handy if you choose to fight a watcher, as it will injure you in a melee.

![[File:Tendril.png|64px]]<br>Necropolis Tendrils
|Huge spikes of organic matter, from the base of which crawl out countless monsters. Each Tendril only spawns one kind of monster, between legions, goliaths and watchers, every once in a while. The tendrils themselves are fairly fragile and will die in a few well-placed shots, if you can fight through the other mobs. Once killed, it will drop its loot, shake the earth around it for a while, and then spawn a huge chasm around it, destroying anything that did not get out of the way in time. Chasms are deadly even after formation and should be avoided.
<br>
Fighting them can involve killing all its protectors patiently, or using tactics like gibtonite. Either way, once killed, ignore the remaining monsters, grab the chest, and RUN.
<br>
When kiled, they spawn necropolis chests which can contain a variety of useful artifacts, that usually cannot be found anywhere else.

==Secrets of the Asteroid==
==Secrets of Lavaland==
While on the asteroid, you may come upon small boxed structures, usually made of plasma or reinforced walls. Dig in through openings, or use the blue toolbox in the hardsuit room to break down that wall and discover your prize! They could have items ranging from magical artifacts to [[Aliens|alien facehugger]]s. A plasma wall doesn't necessarily mean an alien, always check. If you are at all unsure, always let your mining buddies know using :u before you tear down that wall.
While on the asteroid, you may come upon artificial structures. They can have items ranging from magical artifacts, to oter lifeforms, to [[Aliens|alien facehugger]]s. If you are at all unsure, always let your mining buddies know using :u before going in: some ruins can be very dangerous.
 
You may randomly find a facehugger in one of the treasure rooms. Do not infect yourself with the facehugger. This makes the admins very cross. If you are an antagonist, or a responsible parent with a xeno baby den set up somewhere full of monkeys, you should consider yourself as having more leeway. Do not try to pick the Facehugger up. Construct a locker, put the hugger in the locker, weld it and drag it back to the station. It'll leap at the vulnerable targets it sees once it's re-opened.
 
 
Some super useful Treasures you might find while mining include:
 
*A mysterious medibot. It is black and heals significantly better than other types.
*A Grinder. The limits depend on your ability to use it yourself.
*Cultist Armor. Faster than the mining one but can't be upgraded. Also can get you arrested.
*Various spellbooks. Ranging smoke, knock and blind. In the hands of a good miner, can make a huge difference.
*An E-cutlass. Considered one of the rarest and most desired items from mining, An e-sword in all regards.
*Creature : The creature comes from the Cultist room. If you are a traitor, emagging the laz injector gives you a potent ally that's fast and lethal.
*Soul Stone : Useful for slaving people as a traitor, less useful to non antags.
*Sonic Jackhammer : Breaks walls. ALL OF THEM.


==Tips==
==Tips==
* 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. Pickaxe to the skull tends to put down most people.

* Durands only require uranium and silver, which are abundant. So if you find just 5 diamond, to get yourself a diamond drill, and mine out shit tons of metal, uranium and silver, you can make it Durand station 13!
* Middle mouse click swaps your hand, allowing you to shoot minerals and grat them with the satchel quickly.
* Wish soup is made of 20 units of water and nothing else, but sometimes (~25% of the time) will actually be generated with nutriment you can actually get full on. Meaning it's one of the only things you can make once the donk pockets run out. It's also the only thing you can make on the DJ station at all without importing ingredients (provided you bring something to hold the water in).
* Ctrl-Z (with no hotkey-mode) or just Z (with hotkey-mode on) cocks the combat/mining shotgun. No more clicking in between shots!
* Minebots are great at distracting monsters. Just walk near and bash the distracted target with your drill. They can take quite a beating, though goliaths can take them down pretty quickly if you're not quick enough. Plus they collect all the crap gibtonite left.

* Life improving things:
** Mining rig upgrade : Goliath plates add +10% melee resist each time when applied to a rig, ideally if you're just mining you'd want to solely apply that to your chest piece. When maxed out you'll be able to fight a goliath without kiting and take minor damage. It is recommended to apply plates to the head instead if you plan to antag as players more often target your head. The plates will stack until they reach 80%. That makes your suit a space worthy riot suit.
** Mining suit upgrade : Goliath plates add +10% melee resist each time when applied to a suit, ideally if you're just mining you'd want to solely apply that to your chest piece. The plates will stack until they reach 30%, which may help you live in case a goliath grabs you.
** Security Jumpsuit : This gives a +10% melee resist to everywhere but your head. Nag the QM or HoP to give you one.

** Augmentations : Augs are VERY useful for miners, as healing with a welder is ultimately easier. Plus they work differently than armor when it comes to protection, instead reducing all brute damage taken by an augmented body part by 5 (4 for burn). Downside : EMP vulnerability.

** If these three are combined you become close to immune to melee, only a ninja's energy blade is robust enough to even so much as scratch you, and blobs are utterly hopeless. However, guns are still a threat, and anybody can still surprise you with a stunprod and strip away your precious +4 rig. And be wary, the [[Admin | gods]] may not take kindly to your hubris.
