Overview

As a miner, you have been given the responsibility of gathering materials for the good of the station using your mining tools. Generally speaking, you might work alongside other fellow miners or do joint operations with salvage specialists but at the end of the day, you're here to break rock and stone.

The following gear are issued to you to ensure a safe-ish and efficient mining:

  • Pickaxe: capable of breaking rocks easily and make as an emergency weapon in a pinch. Use wide swings to hit more rocks at once!
  • orebag: A waist bag with a built-in magnet to automatically collect ores, a very handy equipment for ore collection
  • Mining Hardsuit: a hardsuit designed for mining purposes and allows off-station trips.
  • GPS: To know the coordinates you are incase you get lost
  • handheld radio: Maintains contact even during power outages or far away from the station
  • Ore processor: A heavy machinery capable of converting raw ores into usable materials
  • Salvage Magnet: A magnet used to bring in debris and asteroids for exploration
  • Flashlight / flares: Since your suit doesn't come with a flashlight, better prep them for lighting.

If you're lucky enough to get tickets to purchase better gear, or SCI provides you with it, you might be able to get these items too:

  • Ore scanner: a portable scanner that reveals ores hidden inside rocks without needing direct line of sight
  • Advanced ore scanner: an ore scanner with a wider range of detection
  • Drill: a fast attacking drill that can break rocks quickly
  • Diamond tipped drill: a drill that deals very high damage to rocks, making mining a breeze
  • Ore bag of holding: An orebag that can hold a very large amount of ores.
  • handheld mass scanner: to show you nearby mass of objects, making navigation easier.
  • Industrial ore processor: makes more materials per ore, a very good machine to get early on.
