Цитата: Нам нужно больше золота! |
|---|---|---|
Приветствую, шахтёр! Ты будешь бурить камни, фауну, других шахтёров и даже само небо, убивать огромные неописуемые ужасы и умирать от собственной глупости посреди Лаваленда!
Минимальные задачи: Выжить достаточно долго дабы доставить что-либо обратно на станцию.
Diggy diggy hole
Хотя ваша работа и может казаться утомительной, но именно вы жизненно важны для работы РнД и некоторых иных вещей! Просто следуйте инструкциям внизу, и вы возможно не умрете в первые минуты вашей работы на шахте.
Ваша основное рабочее место, Лаваленд, достаточно опасное место:
- Пепельные штормы опасны, если у вас нет защиты. Куча быстрых и крайне горячих песчинок летают посреди Лаваленда, прорывая вашу одежду и вашу плоть. Узнать о приближение шторма можно через сообщение в чате в виде
"An eerie moan rises on the wind. Sheets of burning ash blacken the horizon. Seek shelter" за 30 секунд до шторма. Защититься можно имея хорошую броню с защитой от огня или же находясь в помещении(или руинах).
- Лава. Один шаг в неё и вы обожгете себе тело и начнете гореть. Она светиться, так что пропустить её достаточно сложно. Просто не наступайте в неё, или наступайте когда вы летаете или имеете защиту от лавы.
- Пропасти(они же Чазмы - с англ. Chasm) это огромные дыры в земле(пепле?) неизвестной глубины. Все что попадет в них будет утеряно навсегда. Просто не наступайте на них. Полет спасет вас от них.
Большая часть недвижимой опасности определяется внимательным осмотром окрестностей. Просто не ходите в лаву, не падайте в пропасти и не бегайте во время бури без защиты.
Для копания киркой или буром вы можете нажать по камню или "Вбежать" в него, но КА(Kinetic Accelator) лучше в плане скорости и эфективности, так большую часть времени вы будете использовать именно его. Но если вы все-таки задумаете использовать именно их - вы можете копать сразу множество камней, просто нажимая на них.
Работа с начальником
Ваш прямой начальник - Глава персонала, но зачастую вы будете общаться с КМом или вашими коллегами-шахтёрами. У КМа тоже есть доступ на лаваленд и камеры, не забывайте!
Задача
Ваша основная задача на шахте - шахтерство! После того как вы накопали достаточно руды - берете ваш ящик с рудой(если вы его используете) и идете в карго к ОРМ 
. Подтаскиваете ящик с рудой к ОРМ, он автоматически перерабатывает её, нажимаете на него и нажимаете "Claim" для получения ваших заслуженных очков. Если у вас блюспейс мешок для руды - просто высыпьте её со стороны приема ОРМ. После этого возьмите свое заслуженное оборудование в раздатчиках и продолжайте это до бесконечности!
Хоу ту ворк?
Снаряжаемся
- Одеваемся! В вашем шкафчике есть большая часть нужного оборудования: мезонные сканеры, сканер, кирка(опционально), капсула блюспейс-убежища(не стоит его забывать) и ваше главное оружие - КА. Кроме того тут есть дополнительный мешок для руды и лопата, но это совсем опционально.
- Вы можете прикрепить нож и фонарик к КА(или крашеру), дабы оно не занимало место и вы смогли разделывать сразу же после убийства фауны.
- Используйте ваш воучер на раздатчике и выберите один из наборов. Подробнее внизу.
- Прилетаете на лаваленд, идете в комнату с костюмами, одеваете костюмчик, берете балон и GPS(опционально). На западе вашего аванпоста есть мини-медбей, где вы можете взять аптечку и теха, где можно взять канистру чистого воздуха и некоторые иные предметы. Кроме того рядом есть дополнительные шкафчики и ящики для руды.
- Перед вашим выходом вам лучше взять ящик для руды. Он может вместить бесконечное кол-во руды, а сам он может быть либо найден на лаваленде и не только, либо создан из досок. Кроме того, если исследования позволяют - вы можете получить блюспейс мешок для руды(Mining Satchels of Holding), он в некотором роде заменяет этот ящик и вешается на пояс.
Хоу ту копать?
- Находите полезные руды. Зачастую чем севернее вы от аванпоста, тем более хорошие и больше руд вам попадается. Активируйте ваш сканер руд(Ore Scanner) и суньте его в коробку или в рюкзак, он работает сам раз в пару секунд, подсвечивая руды около вас. С самого начала смены постарайтесь набрать хотя бы немного всех материалов для РнД.
- Вы можете подбирать руды просто пройдя по ним, если у вас надет мешок для руд(Ore Satcher), и если при этом вы будете тащить ящик для руды - руда автоматически перейдет в него.
- Как только вы накопали достаточно руд - возвращайтесь на базу и переработайте руду(гайд выше). Не используйте плавильню на лаваленде! Она давно не используется..
- Шахтёры имеют доступ к каналу РнД(:т или :n).
- После того как вы накопали достаточно руды - берете ваш ящик с рудой(если вы его используете) и идете в карго к ОРМ . Подтаскиваете ящик с рудой к ОРМ, он автоматически перерабатывает её, нажимаете на него и нажимаете "Claim" для получения ваших заслуженных очков.
- После получение очков вы сможете купить продвинутое снаряжение за них.
А что дальше?
- Используйте новое снаряжение дабы забраться подальше в лаваленд.
- Напечатайте Улучшенные плазменные резаки(Advanced Plasma Cutters) и Блюспейс мешок для руды(Mining Satchels of Holding) в вашем протолате.
- Исследуйте руины и
умирайте крайне тупополучите удивительные награды. - Если чувствуете себя достаточно уверенно - можете искать Мегафауну используя ваше GPS для крайне хорошего лута.
Талон
Вы начинаете с талоном(Mining Voucher) в вашем рюкзаке. Нажав ним по вендомату вы сможете получить некоторые полезные вещи:
- Survival Capsule and Explorer's Webbing: Пояс(надевается на слот пояса) и капсула в этом поясе. Изначально стоит 900 очков.
- Resonator Kit: Резонатор и мини-огнетушитель. Изначально стоит 800 очков.
- Mining Drone: Маленький помощник в деле убиения фауны и сбора руды. Единственный момент когда он хоть немного полезен - при установке sentience upgrade module(это дает призраку контроль над ним и законами помогать вам). Заодно вам выдается улучшенная сварка, сварочный шлем и модуль для КА, что позволит стрелять через бота. Изначально стоит в районе 800 очков.
- Extraction and Rescue Kit: Система фултон и маяк для неё, что позволит эвакуировать вас или ваших коллег в безопасное(или не очень) место. В комплекте вы получаете 30 свето-маячков. Изначально стоит 1700 очков.
- Crusher Kit: Крашер и мини-огнетушитель. Крашер это специальное оружие, которым вы можете как и копать, так и бить фауну(гайд ниже). Для его использования возьмите его в две руки! Изначально стоит 800 очков.
- Mining Conscription Kit: Вещмешок, полный нужного оборудования для ваших новых коллег из ассистентов, включая наклейку с доступом! Изначально стоит 1500 очков.
Умение
И речь сейчас не о субъективном умении работать шахтёром. Использование определенных инструментов повышает ваш шахтёрский скилл(Mining skill), что заодно ускорит скорость копания. Если ваше умение выше чем "Journeyman" вы начнете видеть руды вокруг вас даже без сканера раз в некоторое время(чем выше умение тем дальше и чаще вы видите). Кроме того, высокое умение позволяет вам делать некоторые специальные вещи, о которых вы узнаете уже в самой игре.
Ввысь, в небеса!
Шахтёрство позволит вам не только получить моральное удовлетворение и разрешение ударить моль в РнД, а ещё и принесет поинты. За поинты вы сможете покупать новое и лучшее оборудование, что позволит вам копать больше, убивать больше фауны, убивать более сильную фауну и так далее. Дерзайте!
Как пример - Survival medipen(медипены) могут спасти вас из совсем плохой ситуации, или же создатель червоточин позволит вам избежать смерти в пропасти или избежать мегафауны(главное не приведите её на станци). Или же стабилизация ядер легиона, или же улучшения для КА... Или же вы можете потратить все на бухло и сигары.
Стандартное оборудование
Вот список и описание стандартного оборудования:
Базовое оборудование
| Предмет | Описание |
Костюм исследователя Explorer Suit |
Имеет капюшон(тоже с защитой!). Предоставляет небольшую защиту против всего и среднюю против ближнего боя и не замедляет вас. Не защищает от космоса, но на его слот можно повесить балон кислорода и другие полезные вещи. Его можно укрепить пластинами голиафа для получени +10 к мили-защите(до трех штук)
Melee 30-60, bullet = 10, laser = 10, energy = 20, bomb = 50, bio = 100, rad = 50, fire = 50, acid = 50. |
|---|---|
Инжектор выживания Survival Мedipen |
Экстренный инжектор, который позволит прожить подольше или успеть дойти до базы. Неплохо лечит и снимает боль. Использование более одного инжектора за раз вызовет интоксикацию.
Рекомендуется использовать данный инжектор только в действительно экстренном случае. Содержит: 10 единиц Сальбуматола, 15 единиц Тепорона, 10 единиц Эпинефрина, 2 единицы Экстракта Лаваленда, 5 единиц разбавленного Омнизина |
Сумка для руды Mining Satchel |
Позволяет автоматически собирать руду в нее (или в ящик, если вы его тащите), если он у вас на поясе, в руке или в кармане. |
Шахтерский талон Mining Voucher |
Одноразовый талончик, позволяющий выбрать специальный комплект в шахтерском раздатчике (подробнее - сверху). |
Фонарь Seclite |
Обычный фонарик. Имеет возможность крепежа к КА. Снимается отверткой. |
Нож для выживания Survival Knife |
Достаточно острый нож, подходящий для разделки дичи. Имеет возможность крепежа к КА. Снимается отверткой. |
Противогаз исследователей и баллон кислорода Explorer Gas Mask and Oxygen Tank |
Для адекватной работы на лаваленде вам нужен будет кислород(в большинстве случаев). Баллоны можно получить из раздатчика около хранилища костюмов. Надеть баллон можно в слот костюма(Если он у вас есть). Полностью заполненного баллона зачастую хватит даже больше чем на одну смену. Кроме того в вашем рюкзаке есть коробка с аварийным баллоном. Он маленький, но тоже может помочь |
Мезонки и автоматический сканер Meson Goggles and Automated Mining Scanner |
Мезонки позволяют вам видеть "Стенки"(или камни) и пол везде, а не только в прямом радиусе видимости. Сканер позволяет вам видеть руды или обезвредить гибтонит(подробнее чуть ниже) нажатием по нему после активации. |
Система глобального позициинирования, ГПС Global Positioning System, GPS |
Позволяет вам отслеживать других носителей ГПС, мегафауну и тендрилы на лаваленде, или иные сигналы(вне лаваленда). Можно выставить своему сигналу особое название(свое имя, например). Так можно спасать других шахтёров по их сигналу, позволять спасать себя или искать мегафауну! |
Прото-кинетический ускоритель, КА Proto-kinetic Accelerator |
Ваше основное оружие. Изначально стреляет на расстояние 4 тайлов(можно улучшить). Выстрел наносит разные повреждения в средах с пониженной атмосферой(40 урона) и в стандартной атмосфере(10 урона).
КА наносит физические повреждения, но считается как "Взрывной урон" при проверке брони против него. Иными словами - костюм ЕОД(Защитный от бомб тоесть) или скафандр РД практически обнулит повреждения от КА(90% защиты) |
Карта для перевода очков Point Transfer Card |
Хранит в себе 500 шахтёрских очков. Кликните своей картой по ней, чтобы получить очки. |
Спасательная блюспейс-капсула Bluespace shelter capsule |
Капсула, в которой под воздействием блюспейс-компрессии распологается спасательное убежище. Активируйте в руке, и через несколько секунд вокруг вас образуется маленький бункер, способный защитить от бури и некоторых видов фауны. |
| Сумка для руды Ore Satchel |
Позволяет автоматически собирать руду в нее (или в ящик, если вы его тащите), если он у вас на поясе, в руке или в кармане. |
Ящик для руды Ore box |
Хранит бесконечное кол-во руды. Несколько таких есть в доках и на самом аванпосту. Его можно сделать из досок. Если у вас надета сумка для руды - она складет все в ящик. |
Дополнительное оборудование
Предметы, не обязательные для ношения, но в некоторых ситуациях достаточно полезные.
| Предмет | Описание |
Кирка Pickaxe |
Совершенно непопулярна(поскольку намного хуже кинетика или даже резонатора). Но в любом случае, она может пригодиться вам на случай нужды выкопать широкий туннель, прокопать некоторые камни или прокопать головы врагам революции. Её можно повесить на слот шахтёрского пояса. |
|---|---|
Лопата Shovel |
Тоже не очень популярна, но может помочь если нужно срочно накопать песка(для стекла, например) |
Лом Crowbar |
Пригодиться для снятия модификаторов КА, на случай активации пожарных створок или если пропадет электричество. Вы спавнитесь с такой в коробке с |

 Fulton Beacon |
Creates an anchored beacon when used in hand that fulton packs can target as a drop-off point. | 400 Points |
Bluespace Shelter Capsule |
The Shelter Capsule is indispensable for long expeditions: it creates an ash-storm proof 3x3 room complete with breathable air, a stasis bed, a stationary GPS beacon and some warm donk-pockets. | 400 Points |
 GAR Mesons |
A pair of very sharp meson scanners. Can be thrown as a weapon, with a chance to embed. | 500 Points |
 Chest Webbing |
A storage rig fitted with many hooks, cables, pouches and pockets. Can hold a wide variety of mining equipment. Fits in your belt slot, think of it as a toolbelt for Shaft Miners. | 500 Points |
Survival Medipen |
Contains several healing and heat-stabilizing chemicals. Using more than one in a short period may cause overdosing. Takes 10 seconds to inject and only injects half the reagents unless done in low pressure environment, where it's instant. See contents here. | 500 Points |
 Brute First-Aid Kit |
Contains bandages and brute-healing patches. | 600 Points |
 Tracking Implant Kit |
Contains three tracking implants and a locator; useful if you want others to find your corpse for up to 10 minutes after death. | 600 Points |
 Wormhole Jaunter |
One-use item that instantly creates a wormhole to a random beacon on station. The portal is unstable and will make you dizzy after using it. Can be worn on the belt slot to prevent death on chasms.
The Jaunter is incredibly useful as an emergency escape tool when your death may be imminent while fighting Megafauna. There is the possibility that you'll end up in space surrounding the station. Better hope you're lucky. |
750 Points |
 Proto-kinetic Crusher |
A powerful two-handed melee weapon. Shoots kinetic bolts that don't deal damage, but can mark large creatures making the hammer deal increased damage (20->50 Brute) when used on them. It will deal even greater damage (80) on backstab. What makes the Crusher special, is that enemies killed by it have a chance to drop trophies, powerful "modkits" that can be attached to the Crusher. |
750 Points |
Proto-kinetic Accelerator |
The classic mining weapon. Buy it from here if you lost your first one. | 750 Points |
Advanced Mining Scanner |
A upgrade over the default Mining Scanner. This tool has a much larger detection radius of seven tiles (the entire screen), and updates more frequently. | 800 Points |
 Resonator |
Another deadly tool. This will, when used on rock or an empty space, create a field on that spot that lasts until detonated, causing serious damage (60 Brute) to anything standing on it. Has 2 modes: Automatic detonation after 2 seconds, or manual which triggers after you hit a field with resonator. You can activate it in your hand to switch mode. Fields can chain detonate. Just like the kinetic accelerator, it does reduced damage (20) in pressurized environments. Using it on an already-marked spot will instantly rupture the field. | 800 Points |
 Luxury Medipen |
Cutting edge bluespace technology allowed Nanotrasen to compact 60u of volume into a single medipen. Contains rare and powerful chemicals used to aid in exploration of very hard enviroments. WARNING: DO NOT MIX WITH EPINEPHRINE OR ATROPINE. Takes 10 seconds to inject and only injects half the reagents unless done in low pressure environment, where it's instant. Contains 10u Salbutamol, 10u Penthrite, 10u Oxandrolone, 10u Salicyclic Acid, 10u Omnizine, and 10 Leporazine. | 1000 Points |
 Fulton Extraction Pack |
A balloon that can be used to extract equipment or personnel who are outside (not within the station or the mining base) to a Fulton Recovery Beacon. Anything not bolted down can be moved. Swap which beacon the pack is aiming at by using the pack in hand. It has a limited number of uses, examine the pack to check how many are left.
You can use it on yourself as a way to quickly return to the station, though it isn't instant like the Wormhole Jaunter. If you have space in your backpack, it will be stashed in your bag automatically when used on yourself rather than dropping on the ground. |
1000 Points |
 Lazarus Injector |
A miracle injection capable of reviving simple living beings from death, making them friendly to you and the crew. Useless on humans, monkeys, and other complex living beings. Resurrect Ian for all access from a thankful Head of Personnel! Or make yourself a pet Goliath. The lazarus injector can be EMP'd to make revived mobs hostile to everyone but you. Also useful for bartering with the HoP or any staff with a pet. | 1000 Points |
Silver-plated Pickaxe |
Slightly better than the default pickaxe, but still a lot worse than your starting KA. | 1000 Points |
 Mining Conscription Kit |
Contains a proto-kinetic accelerator, survival knife, seclite, mesons, an ore scanner and satchel, an explorer suit and gas mask, a supply encryption key and a card which adds mining access to IDs. | a 1500 Points |
 Mining Jetpack Upgrade |
A jetpack that you can attach to any hardsuit for better mobility. Useless on Lavaland but great back on the station. | 2000 Points |
 Space Cash |
A thousand credits, to spend however you want! Useful if you want to buy Goodies from cargo, or if you just want to shore up the station funds. | 2000 Points |
 Mining Hardsuit |
A nostalgic suit piece from the older days of asteroid mining. Useless on Lavaland but great to explore space. Can be upgraded up to 3 times with goliath plates, gaining a unique appearance when partially and fully upgraded. | 2000 Points |
Diamond Pickaxe |
For when you want something shinier and better than your default pickaxe and the scientists are either too lazy or too dead to make drills or jackhammers. STILL worse than a basic KA. | 2000 Points |
Super (Upgraded) Resonator |
Like the regular resonator, but able to have 6 fields active at a time - with no damage penalty for fields that are detonated early. Also comes with a third mode: Matrix traps, which makes fields detonate when someone walks over them. | 2500 Points |
 Jump Boots |
A pair of boots that allow you to jump over three tiles, skipping chasms. Does not prevent lava damage, however. | 2500 Points |
Luxury Shelter Capsule |
Tired of cramped shelter capsules? This is for you! Comes with a three-course meal, a deluxe companion and much more. | 3000 Points |
Luxury Elite Bar Capsule |
A luxury bar in a capsule. For when you have nothing else to blow all your points on. Bartender required and not included. | 10000 Points |

KA AoE Damage Mod |
A modkit that makes your KA hit in a 3x3 AoE, dealing 20% of the original damage per modkit.
Even with one just one AoE modkit, it allows your KA to mine in that same 3x3 area. Combine with Cooldown modkits for maximum rock destruction. |
2000 Points |
 Mining Drone |
This helpful little guy goes around collecting loose ore so you don't have to. Will drop its haul when you hit it with the mining scanner. Clicking on it with an empty hand will toggle it between ore collection and wildlife fighting mode, where it will attack xenos with its built-in kinetic accelerator and drill. Will not pick up sand with no nearby ore around, for some reason. Comes with an upgraded welding tool if redeemed via voucher. It cannot be repaired while it is fighting.

An extra ID that works for holding money and entering the station. | 250 Points |
 Science Goggles |
A pair of regular science goggles. | 250 Points |

A single monkey cube. Just add water. | 300 Points |
 Toolbelt |
A toolbelt, like the ones on station. | 350 Points |
 Royal Cape of the Liberator |
A replica of the Liberator's cape. A must-have for every Free Golem. | 500 Points |
 Grey Slime Extract |
Ever wanted to do Xenobiology on Lavaland? There you go. | 1000 Points |
Trigger Guard Modification Kit |
A trigger modkit that allows golems to use the Kinetic Accelerator. | 1700 Points |
The Liberator's Legacy |
A box with all circuit boards needed to build your own RnD department! The RnD console synchronizes with the station's server. | 2000 Points |
RnD Gear
The following is a list of advance items that can be acquired from your departmental techfab after research.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
 Mining Drill |
Can be acquired early on from RnD. It's twice as fast as the standard Pickaxe but is quickly superseded by better variants and is expensive for what it gives. |
 Diamond Tipped Mining Drill |
Very powerful drill, able to almost instantly mine mineral walls. Very expensive in terms of Diamonds needed to produce however. |
 Sonic Jackhammer |
The epitome of mining. Can practically instantly mine through rock and walls. But it requires three times the Diamonds of a Diamond Tipped Drill. |
KA Triggerguard Mod |
A modkit that will allow species that cannot normally fire guns to use the KA, such as golems and hulks. |
KA Range Mod |
A modkit that increases your KA's range by 1. |
KA Damage Mod |
A modkit that increases your KA's damage by 10. |
KA Cooldown Mod |
A modkit that reduces your KA's cooldown by 0.25 seconds. |
KA AoE Mining Mod |
A modkit that makes your KA mine rocks in a 3x3 AoE. It does not, however, deal AoE damage. You're usually better off carrying a plasma cutter to deal with rocks and keep the KA for combat. |
 Plasma Cutter |
A fast mining (and welding) tool. Shoots rock-breaking bolts that pierce up to 5 rocks per shot. Rechargeable by inserting plasma ore or sheets into it. Less efficient in combat than a KA, however, and even less when in high pressure. |
 Advanced Plasma Cutter |
A very fast mining (and welding) tool. Shoots rock-breaking bolts that pierce up to 10 rocks per shot, basically allowing you to pierce rock as fast as you can walk. Rechargeable by inserting plasma ore or sheets into it. |
 Mining Satchel of Holding |
Very cheap mining satchel that can hold an unlimited amount of minerals and ore. |
 Night Vision Mesons |
These glasses work like normal mesons, but they can see perfectly in the darkness negating the need for flashlights in lavaland. |
All of this gear is printed out at the supply department protolathe.
The Wildlife
Lavaland is filled with a variety of bloodthirsty alien lifeforms populating the caverns, walking just fine over the ponds and puddles of lava. Fortunately, you can fight them whilst taking minimal damage, if you have the know-how.
Useful items can be harvested from these creatures' corpses should you triumph; butcher them with a knife by attacking the corpse on
and the goods will spill out!
| Creature | Description | Threat |
|---|---|---|
 Legions |
Considered annoying at worst, and a free minor heal 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. If you fall unconscious while you're being attacked, however, you will instantly die and be turned into a Legion.
|
Low |
 Watchers |
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 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 gibtonite.
|
Medium |
 Goliaths |
The bane of many careless miners. These monsters carry a hefty health pool, a mean wallop, and a deceptively dangerous ranged tentacle attack. They are inherently resistant to lasers, so using a KA is the best option regarding dealing with these. They move at a slow pace, stopping every couple seconds to burrow tentacles under you. These will trap you for a long duration if you stand on top of them for too long.
|
High |
 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.
|
Medium to Very High |
 Goldgrubs |
Mostly harmless and quite rare. These creatures swallow up any loose, valuable ore they can find and flee when approached by a human, smashing through even solid rock on their path of escape before burrowing into the ground. A tactic toward killing one is to throw an ore towards it, and quickly charging in to kill it while it's busy eating, but note that kinetic accelerator shots do nothing against these. Their skin is reflective, requiring a pickaxe melee smackdown to ensure a kill.
|
None |
 Megafauna |
Extremely big and powerful creatures, that randomly spawn in lavaland. Each one of these emits a GPS Signal that can be tracked with your own GPS, to either seek or avoid them. To beat them and get their valuable loot, you must either have good equipment or be VERY good at dodging their attacks, as failure usually means not only death, but gibbing as well. |
EXTREME |
Shiny Mobs
Common lavaland mobs now have rare mutations. Common mining mobs have a 1% chance on initialize to gain a new appearance and new stats, however, this is 5% for legions.
| Creature | Description | Threat |
|---|---|---|
 Dwarf Legion |
On the rare occasion that a human with dwarfism falls to a legion, they can become infested like any other. Dwarf legions have 20 less health but move slightly faster.
|

 Magmawing Watcher |
Whenever a shiny watcher appears, (which is a 1% chance), there's a 75% chance that the mutant is going to be a magmawing watcher, and a 25% chance that it is going to be an icewing watcher. When raised very close to lava, some watchers adapt to the extreme heat and change coloration. Such watchers are known as magmawings and use intense heat as their tool for hunting and defense. The magmawing watcher shoots scorching blasts instead of freezing blasts, which heats you up and can set you on fire.

 Icewing Watcher |
Whenever a shiny watcher appears, (which is a 1% chance), there's a 25% chance that the mutant is going to be an icewing watcher, and a 75% chance that it is going to be a magmawing watcher. Very rarely, some watchers will eke out an existence far from heat sources. In the absence of warmth, their wings will become papery and turn to an icy blue; these watchers are fragile but much quicker to fire their trademark freezing blasts. The icewing watcher has 50 less health and fire shots 33% more often, as well as dropping 5 diamonds and no sinew

 Ancient Goliath
|
Goliaths are biologically immortal, and rare specimens have survived for centuries. This one is clearly ancient, and its tentacles constantly churn the earth around it. Tentacles constantly extrude from the ground around it, even when it is not aggroed to any particular object.

Necropolis Chest Loot
Necropolis Chests are guaranteed whenever you destroy a tendril or a pulsating tumor. They also drop from the Legion megafauna, when you kill a Stage 3 skull.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
Paradox Bags | A pair of bags with a linked storage: anything that is put in one can be pulled out of the other and vice versa. |
|
Soulstone | A soulstone much like the kind used by a Blood Cult or by the chaplain on MetaStation, except it can be used multiple times. When used on a corpse it disintegrates it, and traps the soul inside the gem. The soul can then be released as a weak ghost bound to the will of the soulstone's owner, or it can be put into a construct shell, if you somehow own one. |
|
Cursed Katana | A cursed katana for ninja enthusiasts. It deals 15 damage to unarmored targets. It is a retractable but irremovable organ, when you obtain it out of the tendril chests you have to use it in your hand.  But it's cursed, and it mauls your hand if you retract it without attacking a live target. Able to do combos (viewble by examining it twice), and has a lower attack cooldown when attacking fauna.
|
|
Eye of God | A strange eye. It can be worn on the glasses slot to gain the ability to scan targets to reduce their attack speed, along with night and meson vision. |
|
Flight Potion ("Strange Elixir") |
A bottle containing 5 units of flight potion. Ingesting flight potion will turn the drinker into an angel: a human with wings. Wings allow jetpack-like movement wherever there's air when activated, also giving increased speed and free movement over tables and chasms. You lose your back slot as an angel. It only works when drinking at least 5 units, so do not dilute or split the content. Does 20 brute damage when drunk. |
|
Cursed Heart | A cursed heart. When used, it grants fast regeneration, but it must be pumped manually at least once every 3 seconds and one second early to account for lag. Screen turns red if you miss a beat and lose 100u of blood but gain 50u every successful pump. Warning though, there is no warning except by medical scanner on how close you are to death. Before use I recommend that whoever uses this has a blood bag ready for transfusion and a medical scanner to keep an eye on your blood level. |
|
Ship in a Bottle | When used, spawns a Mysterious Boat, which can travel over lava without need for oars. |
|
Berserker Hardsuit | A hardsuit coming from a melee = 30, bullet = 30, laser = 10, energy = 20, bomb = 50, bio = 100, rad = 10, fire = 100, acid = 100 |
|
Sord | An unbelievably shitty sword. |
|
Dusty Shard | When used, spawns a power miner bound to you. The type is chosen at random. |
|
Red/Blue Cube | A pair of cubes. When one is used, it teleports the user to the location of the other cube, with no cooldown. |
|
Wisp Lantern | A lantern containing a wisp. When used, it releases the wisp, making it orbit around the user's head and granting it thermal vision and serving as a light source. It can be returned to the lantern by using it once again. The lantern does not otherwise need to be carried or protected for the effect to persist. |
|
Immortality Talisman | A magic talisman. When used, it makes the user invulnerable but immobile for ten seconds. Being invulnerable does not protect from instant death effects such as singularities or point-blank bombs. Has a 60 seconds cooldown. |
|
Instant Summons Spellbook | A spellbook that grants you Instant Summons. When first used, it binds the item currently in your hand; every time it is used after will teleport the linked item (and any container it should be inside) to your hand. |
|
Book of Babel | Instantly teaches you all languages. One time use only. |
|
Jacob's Ladder | A ladder that extends all the way to a different Z-level. |
|
|
KA Death Syphon/bounty Modkit Disk | Allows you to make a modkit that when killing or assisting in killing a creature permanently increases your damage against that type of creature. |
|
|
AoE Hybrid Modkit Disk | A disk that allows you to make a Kinetic Accelerator Modkit that allows it to both mine and deal damage in a 3x3 AoE. Secondary targets receive 25% of the original target's damage, up from the 20% of the normal AoE damage modkit |
|
|
KA Rapid Repeater Modkit Disk | Allows you to create a modkit that greatly reduces the KA's cooldown on striking a living target or rock, but greatly increases its base cooldown. Don't miss! |
|
|
KA Resonator Blast Mod Disk | A tech disk that allows you to create a mod that uses the kenetic accelerator to fire shots that leave and detonate Resonator blasts. |
|
Lifesteal Crystal Modkit | A mod kit that, like the name suggests, steals life from enemies you attack. Comes with a free cult blankie! |
|
Memento Mori | A necklace that once equipped links your life to it. You cannot die while it is equipped but if removed turns you into dust. Seals your guardian spirits while you're in crit (-100%).
Note: Megafauna are the exception and will still turn you into gibs if you're knocked into critical condition. |
|
Rod of Asclepius | A rod that can be used to make yourself start swearing an oath. If you finish the oath, the staff will bind to your hand, giving you a healing aura and pacifism. You will also gain the ability to perform multiple surgeries at once. |
|
Concussive Gauntlets | Jackhammer in the shape of gloves, for fast mining without needing to hold any tools. |
For the bosses' loot, see Megafauna.
Pulsating Tumor

Xenoforms
You're not always the only sentient being on the planet. Aside from the lovecraftian horrors living down there you may also content with several groups or factions of beings on the planet. Some hostile, some friendly.
The follow is a list of all known sentient groups found on the planet based on information sent from recon squads.
Podmen
Recon Expedition #4
Threat Level: Minimal, Non Hostile
Note: A small group of podmen were observed living inside a sealed vault. They appear minimally armed and seem to avoid leaving their home.
Golems
Recon Expedition #9
Threat Level: Minimal, Non Hostile
Note: A unidentified flying object was seen crashing by Recon Team Charlie during expedition #8. Alpha team on expedition #9 located a group of golems, the golems appeared utterly uninterested in their surroundings all things considered.
Ashwalkers
Recon Expedition #13
Threat Level: Medium, Hostile
Note: It appears a group of Basiliscus Lizretus, also known as Lizardmen, live on the planet, they are hostile to all intruders. These 'ashwalkers' only started to appear when mining operations started, they are agile but lightly armed, wielding primitively forged armor and spears. They appear to also have a hostile relationship with the wildlife, having been observed killing and dragging wildlife corpses away, as to why they need these corpses the recon team is unable to ascertain.
Syndicate Agents
Recon Expedition #45
Threat Level:Extreme, Hostile
Notes: It has come to attention that the syndicate (direct corporation/group unknown) has recently set up a large compound in lavaland. This may explain where expedition #38-44 has gone. They are equipped with high end weaponry and has been stated that trace bits of gunpowder has been found around the lava moat that the base is stationed in, suggesting that this base may be wired to self-destruct. We also detected radio waves coming and going from the compound. If found, turn back and report to your superiors immediately.
The Ores
These are what you should be looking out for, generally try and get a good mix of the more exotic ore types. Iron ore is ok but it sells for little and is highly abundant on the station already.
| Name | Wall | Raw Ore | Money Reward Value | Processed Ore | Frequency | Uses |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Iron | 
|
|
1 | 
|
Very Common | For just about everything. |
| Sand | 
|
|
1 |  |
Very Common | For making glass, which has a plethora of station applications. Activate sand in your hand to make sandstone bricks. These can be used to make dirt which can be used to grow plants. |
| Plasma | 
|
|
15 | 
|
Common | Ship sheets back to Centcom for bonus money to the cargo budget. |
| Silver | 
|
|
16 | 
|
Semi-Common | Making dosh, mechs, and researching Bluespace. |
| Gold | 
|
|
18 | 
|
Semi-Common | For making various electronics or pimping out Beepsky. |
| Titanium | 
|
|
30 | 
|
Uncommon | For high-tech mechs or R&D components. Also for building shuttle walls and floors. |
| Uranium | 
|
|
30 | 
|
Uncommon | For making you radioactive (notice: no joke, this shit is deadly as a wall or a door). Delicious cocktails. |
| Diamond | 
|
|
50 | 
|
Rare | For making mech parts, among other industrial uses. |
| Bluespace Crystal | 
|
|
50 | 
|
Rare | These crystals can be used in various ways. Give them to science to increase bluespace science, hold onto them to use as a risk free jaunter, or throw them at people to make them teleport randomly (often into space.) |
| Bananium | 
|
|
60 | 
|
HONK! | A rare and unusual mineral found exclusively in clown-controlled space. Used only for the H.O.N.K. mech and other clownlike items. |
| Gibtonite | 
|
|
N/A | Uncommon | For , so don't bring any of this to the station or else you'll be  . How to obtain Gibtonite: Hit ore, count to 8 flashes of the ore then hit it with your scanner. Gibtonite varies in the number of reactions it has, so you may get lower quality ore. Use 2 of the 0 reaction ores (the most potent) to blow open the AI core and make it cry at it's malf failure! |
Alloys
Some ores can be smelted to produce alloys.

Who Needs What
Long gone are the days of miners delivering refined materials to the various departments by hand (or the crew coming directly to cargo for themselves), thanks to the introduction of the Ore Silo's bluespace storage system -- but it never hurts to know what to aim for.
- Scientists need at least a bit of every ore to fabricate new parts and to complete material scan experiments. In exchange, they may research upgrades for your Kinetic Accelerator, a Plasma Cutter, a Mining Satchel of Holding, and, if you're lucky, Night Vision Meson Scanners or a Bag of Holding!
- Roboticists need diamond, uranium, silver and gold for building mech parts and equipment. Give them enough and you've indirectly helped out most of the departments on the station if the Roboticists are competent enough to build helpful stompy mechs for everybody! If you feel like mining with your own stompy mech, get a Clarke and reap the profits.
- The Quartermaster may want mineral sheets to trade them in for bonus supply credits. Plasma in particular is both common and valuable.
- Medical Doctors and Station Engineers need uranium, titanium, silver and gold for a number of their higher tech equipment, once the R&D gets the tech for advanced tools and higher end biotechnology of course.
- Everybody could always use more iron, glass and plasteel, but especially Roboticists (cyborg shells cost a surprising amount of metal) and Station Engineers (basic construction materials for just about everything).
- The Chemist and Xenobiologist will all appreciate having extra plasma.
- A competent Virologist can use several sheets of uranium to create incredibly powerful healing viruses that let you heal out of crit in two seconds.
- A Clown with Bananium is a grateful and dangerous ally.
- The Bartender can use a few sheets of uranium or iron to craft some of his rarest cocktails.
Secrets of Lavaland
While on Lavaland, you may come upon artificial structures. They can have items ranging from magical artifacts, to other lifeforms, to alien facehuggers. If you are at all unsure, always let your mining buddies know using :u before going in: some ruins can be very dangerous.
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.
- You can view the contents of a mining satchel as if it were a backpack.
- Middle mouse click swaps your hand, allowing you to shoot minerals and grat them with the satchel quickly.
- 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.
- The Proto-kinetic Accelerator can destroy electrified grilles without needing a pair of insulated gloves.
- The Proto-kinetic Accelerator will obliterate a space carp in one hit while in space.
- You can dual wield PKAs. Use to fire both at once.
- The Head of Personnel may reward you with all access if you resurrect Ian. Also, sometimes the Research Director will reward you for a pet gold grub.
- If you're expecting trouble on the station, consider taking out a window on the mining shuttle before you return to make a quick getaway so you're not trapped like a rat in a cage.
- The mining drone can be repaired with a welding tool, but not in the middle of a fight. A goliath will always win in a one on one fight with a mining drone.
- You could alternatively buy the drone, fully upgrade it, give it an AI Module, and tell it to go valid-hunt. A mining drone dragging a bar of soap is surprisingly robust against even changelings.
- Life improving things:
- Mining suit upgrade : Goliath plates add +10% melee resist each time when applied to a suit. 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). Also they are ashproof. If you get fully augumented, you are ash storm proof. Downside : EMP vulnerability.
- Kinetic accelerators can be used as infinite tools to navigate space, since every time you fire, it'll throw you in the opposite direction.
- Sentient minebots can very easily be commanded to go help security if there is an imminent threat to the station. Their melee saw is very robust, and works just as well as on the station as it is on lavaland. The proto-kinetic accelerator that they are equipped with is very robust when in space.
- If you dont have a mining satchel of holding, and no ore box, you can deconstruct tables in the library (the curator is probably too busy organizing a game of D&D to really care much) to obtain wooden planks. You can then use these wooden planks to fabricate an ore box.
- If science hasn't researched Advanced Mining Technology within 10 minutes of the start of the shift, please remind them. There is normally at least 1 single person in science competent enough to do so.
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, dangerous, and as expansive as you're willing to dig out. Plenty of room for somebody to get lost in... Forever!
Tips for Traitoring
- If you're a miner and you have to kill another miner; there's a really easy way to block communications one way so he can't call for help.
- Grab a multitool, go to the mining communications room.
- Use the multi tool on the relay and make sure the relay isn't sending, meaning your headset won't go to people on the station.
- Kill your target with their shouts for help unheard.
- You can get plasma at exactly the heat you need for canister bombs by welding a plasma door in vacuum. Use an air pump to take it, then put [REDACTED] KPa into an empty large tank (the size of plasma, emergency O2, etc). You can then ignite it with a can of pure O2 set to release at 1013.25 KPa. This is the Shaft Miner's canister bomb. It's easy to set up on Lavaland.
- More than one uranium wall is hilariously deadly, as they give off a pulse of radiation every couple of seconds. This pulse makes other uranium walls in range pulse as well, and they all run on their own timer.
- Tiers 0-1-2-3 can gib bodies, remember mining suits take 50% of damage away from bombs, so strip miners you want to make disappear forever first.
- Ripley is a fairly robust murdering tool, if you can, convince robotics to put a gravity catapult on it. SLAM PEOPLE INTO WALLS. THE SUFFERING NEVER ENDS.
- Space is your best ally. Your weapons are more lethal in space, and anyone who wants to chase you will need access to a jetpack and EVA gear. Make people fight on your terms by blowing up the station with various Gibtonite charges, or bust in, stun and drag targets into space.
- You can make a chemical payload container using any shitty bit of gibtonite. This can be useful for making chemical bombs, but it relies on knowing how to obtain specific chemicals that can be robust and accessible to a Miner.
Tips for Culting
If you're a miner, Mining Station is the perfect hive for a cult. The back room can easily be broken down by Constructs, runes can be placed, and a single artificer can make it very difficult for Security to try and raid. Remember to cut cameras, so a Non-Asimov AI doesn't bolt and electrocute every door. Remember to use Teleport other to get Cultists off station and into safe custody. Warning: Teleporting from Lavaland will make the destination rune glow brightly and open a rift in reality that may not only reveal the rune, but the location of your base as well.
