Lonestar Miner

Lonestar Miner "A rumbling noise like thunder somehow penetrates your mind before fading away!"						Department: Lonestar						Access: Mining, Cargo, EVA, Maintenance						Supervisors: Chief Executive Officer						Difficulty: Easy

Welcome, Shaft Miner, to the wonderful caverns of this colony.

Chatting it Up

You can talk with all of your mining buddies, as well as the other cargo technicians and the all-important Chief Executive Officer, over the Supply channel using :u or :h.

The Objective

You're here to mine, so get digging! Put on your mining hard-suit (make sure to put a large oxygen tank in your suit storage or at least refill your emergency tank in case of cave ins), check your internals, and cycle yourself out the airlock. Then grab your drill in one hand, click on an ore tile, and pick up the ore with your mining satchel. You can then empty the satchel into an Ore Box, so it's probably best to drag one around with you.

If you prefer heavy machinery, you can use a mining drill to dig into the asteroid for you. This is the only way to get hydrogen.

Once you're full to bursting with ores, drag your crate to the conveyor belt outside of the airlock. From there, you can use the machines and computers to smelt raw ore to its finished state and stack them up to 50-count piles. From there, it's off to wherever those resources need to be, but hopefully you have a Cargo Technician for that. Back to the mines!

Details on how do to your job can be found in the Guide to Mining.

Who Needs What

• Scientists want a little silver, gold, plasma, uranium, diamond, and solid hydrogen. Refine a little of each for research (5-10 blocks each should do it; 2-5 for the diamond and hydrogen). In exchange, they may give you more advanced mining tools (like a sonic jackhammer), for even faster digging.
• Roboticists need metal, plasteel, diamond, uranium, silver and gold for building mech parts. Give them enough and you might get a big, fancy machine for your troubles! The Ripley is the best mech for mining.
• Everybody could always use more metal and glass, but especially Guild Adepts.
