Mining Station
The asteroid will be the primary workplace for Shaft Miners.
The largest and best established base on the asteroid, the mining station spans the fracture through the asteroid, and is roughly split into living quarters and ore processing/EVA. Most doors require Mining access. Mining Station access is required for external airlocks and EVA.
The eastern and northern outposts both have ore pipelines that lead back to the main ore processing area. The disposals unit lead to a 3x3 tile airless cavern that is impossible to escape without mining or teleportation equipment.
As the mining asteroid exists on a different Z-level from the station, it is often used as a place of exile for Heads of Staff and Head Revolutionaries. It is also spared annihilation in case of a nuclear explosion or self-destruct.
Mining station is also often a hive of scum and villainy.
Shuttle
This is the lifeline between the main station and the asteroid. It's the only reliable way to get between the station and the mining asteroid. Contains a crate, for processed minerals. Also contains an ore crate, which you will probably want to unload.
EVA
Contents (for those of you who can't count):
- 3 full mining ZIS suits. (suit, helmet, mask).
- A pickaxe.
- A satchel, for collecting ore.
- A mechanical toolbox.
- A tank dispenser, which has 10 pure O2 tanks ready for use.
- A fuel tank to recharge jackhammers.
- 2 ore boxes in the airlock.
Living Quarters
This little complex serves as the combined kitchen, dormitory, and bar for the outpost. Apart from the vending machines, the only source of food readily available is a box of donk pockets and the microwave. If you're feeling particularly ambitious, you could ask cargo or botany to ship you some additional foodstuffs. The living quarters also have a single toilet, which doubles as a disposal chute. The three bedrooms have classy mining-brown bedsheets. Enjoy the scenery.
Production Area
This is where most of the action occurs. This room contains an ore sorter, a furnace, and a stacking machine, as well as the consoles for their operation.
