Item	Description
Explorer Suit	This comes with a inbuilt hood. It provides some protection against heat and cold, and works as decent armor with no slowdown. It is not spaceproof, but can hold a full-sized oxygen tank or other mining gear. You can also reinforce the suit and hood with up to 3 goliath plates. Melee 30-60, bullet = 10, laser = 10, energy = 20, bomb = 50, bio = 100, rad = 50, fire = 50, acid = 50.
Explorer Gas Mask and Oxygen Tank	So you can have oxygen when mining. Oxygen tanks are available from the tank storage unit, and can be worn on your suits 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.
Meson Scanners and Automatic Mining Scanner	Activating the scanner will briefly flash any ore on screen - it works even inside a box. Can be used to stop gibtonite from exploding.
Global Positioning System, GPS	The crew monitoring console back on the station won't catch your suit sensor signal from all the way down on the planet. Having one of these on you will help others track down your body if you happen to develop a case of the dead. In addition it can be used to locate other miners (who bothered to take it) as well as "lost" signals. Megafauna, necropolis tendrils, and certain ruins emit GPS signals. Be wary. Be sure to set your name on the GPS.
Proto-kinetic Accelerator	A standard issue gun. The good part is that it packs a punch in a low pressure environment, is very good at digging and has infinite shots. The bad part is that it tickles in pressurized environments, has a cooldown after each shot, and has a range of three steps. Can be dual wielded on Combat Mode ### at the price of lower accuracy and speed. Alternatively, turn off Combat Mode ### and switch hands after every shot to get around the accuracy reduction. KAs deal brute damage (40 standard/10 in pressurized rooms), but count as explosive versus armor. That way, suits like bomb suits and the RD hardsuit can negate 90% of the damage dealt.
Survival Knife	Use it for butchering the wildlife (hit corpse while on Combat Mode). It's as strong against mobs as a pickaxe, but you can't mine with it. You can store it in your boots to save space, but remember to alt-click the boots to draw the knife back out. Alternatively, stick it on your KA.
Survival Emergency Medipen	A medipen for surviving in harsh environments. Heals most common damage sources. WARNING: May cause organ damage. Takes 10 seconds to inject and only injects half the reagents unless done in low pressure environment, where it's instant. Contains 8u Epinephrine, 8u Aiuri, 8u Libital and 6u Leporazine.
Bluespace shelter capsule	Activate this in your hand, and it'll near instantly produce a beautiful shelter. Ash storms do not hurt you inside, but wildlife can break through the walls. The shelter contains a cupboard which contains a guitar (or dice) and some donk pockets. It also has a stasis bed which requires another person to use. Never leave home without one. You're issued one for free in your mining lockers on station.
Ore Satchel	For carrying ore without using a mining cart, holds 50 ore nuggets. Empty it into boxes by using the satchel on them. Newbie tip: Put it in one of your pocket slots, then start dragging an ore box. Any ore you walk over will be transferred to the box.
Ore box	Used for carrying huge amounts of ore. While a satchel can only hold 50 nuggets, this can hold an unlimited sum. You cannot carry it, but you can drag it with you. Use your satchel on the box to empty it into the box. Even better: Drag it behind you with an ore satchel in your pocket.
Mining Voucher	Found in your backpack, exchange this at the mining equipment locker for one of several selections which include various mining items.
Seclite	A beefed up flashlight. Does 9 damage. Put this on your KA to free up inventory space.
Item	Description

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. Clicking #### 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.

# 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/in/inside 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

# 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 (AKA simple mobs), 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.	1500 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
# 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

# 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. It can be further upgraded with special modules bought from the vending machine to increase its effectiveness.	500 Points

Item	Description	Price

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.

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. It drops a core when killed. Hit yourself with the core and it will give you a slowdown immunity for a while and slight heal. 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 active legion cores can be inserted into one's chest (as an organ) through surgery to provide a hands-free use of it, which will automatically activate if you fall into crit. tl;dr strategy: Attack with your pickaxe/knife. Hack your way through the legion and its heads until the host is mush. Alternatively, two KA hits kill a Legion, or one KC mark detonation.	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. Butcher a watcher for 2 pieces of diamond ore. Use your ore box for cover while shooting them with your KA from a distance. Alternatively, with a KC, close the distance before it shoots you, then alternate marking it and hitting it, and pop a survival pen afterwards. Tip: Watchers are notably weak to explosions due to the nature of their bodies, taking over half their health in damage from even the weakest of explosions.	Medium
# Lobstrosity	A marvel of evolution gone wrong, the sulphur lakes of lavaland have given them a vibrant, red hued shell. Beware its charge. Not much of a threat by themselves, they will try to charge at you to knock you down and snip you if you get too close. Drops crab meat, bones, and a rush gland when killed. The rush gland when implanted letting you activate every 90s. It allows you to move at very high speed for a short period of time.	Low
# Brimdemons	A misshapen demon with big, red eyes and a hinged mouth. Not much is known about the creatures due to their response to any unexpected stimulus being a deadly blood-laser barrage. Stay out of their blood-laser barrage and do not face them directly. Drops brimdust, which can be used as a botany reagent which heals the plant, removes weeds and pests and increases potency.	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. Fighting them is simple: Shoot, step back, shoot, avoid tentacles. Repeat this process until it stops moving. Alternatively, with a KC, get in mark range, mark it, run in, hit it, run out, avoid tentacles, repeat. Butcher a goliath for its hide and its meat. Goliath plates can be used to reinforce your hardsuit and helmet a maximum of three times, allowing you to turn your suit into something closer to a piece of riot gear if you hunt some Goliaths. The meat can be cooked in lava.	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. 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. When killed, they spawn necropolis chests which can contain a variety of useful artifacts, that usually cannot be found anywhere else. See the table below for the possible loot.	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. When killed, they spit up multiple pieces of ore, based on what they ate. Feed them many different types of ore before killing them, and they'll spit out more of each type than you gave it! Just don't let it get away after spooking it.	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. Their slow speed means that you can usually outrun them, although you should be careful of not letting them hitch a ride in the mining ferry, as the station has very few weapons that can damage megafauna.	EXTREME

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. It drops a soul, the exact same soul as dropped by the normal legion. It's still rather harmless. 2 KA shots kill it, a couple of pickaxe swings will knock it out.	Low
# 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. Unlike normal watchers, a shot from this watcher will set you on fire, and trying to roll it out will only result in the watcher getting more free shots on you, which means that you're pretty much forced to man up, pop a survival medi-pen, and melee it to death while you lose half of your HP to fire. (Or you know pour water over yourself, someone else or more simply, use a fire extinguisher or a pocket fire extinguisher) It has normal watcher loot. It's really simply just not worth fighting.	High
# 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 It's a beefed up watcher which is more tanky and shoots more often. Treat it like a normal watcher, except you have to get into cover a bit quicker each time. It has normal watcher loot, but drops 5 diamonds instead of 2, and drops no sinew.	High
# 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. It is recommended that you clear an area around the ancient goliath so that you can take shots at the ancient goliath without getting snagged by the tentacles. Once you've done that, just run circles around the thing while shooting at it, and dodging any emerging tentacles. When killed, they drop their goliath hide directly, more can be obtained through butchering.	Very High

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 drinked.
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 Khorne Berserker Champion. It has no slowdown, is immune to magic and ash storms, by getting damaged in it you gain berserk charge, which you can use to start attacking incredibly fast with a lot of melee armor while losing your ability to fire guns. 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.
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.

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 ~~trolling miners~~ blowing shit up, whether they be solid asteroid or other things. Hitting it with your mining tools will start a chain reaction. If you don't stop the reaction with your mining scanner in time, the gibtonite will explode. If you do, you can mine the ore, pick it up (you need both hands free) and use it as an explosive. The closer the gibtonite was to exploding before defused, the more potent its power. Cannot be forged or turned in to the Ore Redemption Machine , so don't bring any of this to the station or else you'll be ~~arrested~~ ignored by security because they don't know what the hell it is. Gibtonite can be used to craft a Chemical Payload . 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!
