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 disposal chute leads to an enclosed airless room on the asteroid, [[Traitor|in case you were wondering]].
 
On this section of the station are a telecommunications room (so you can scream for help when a goliath or traitor murders you on the asteroid), a small medbay with a sleeper and brute first-aid kit (so you can heal fellow miners or hog the first-aid kit for yourself) and a maintenance room (to fill your air tank, though you'll never need to)
 
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.

This base is the primary workplace for the brave Shaft Miners.

The largest and and only official Nanotrasen established base on the planet known as lavaland, the mining station 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.

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.

Lavaland

After exhausting all the hostile wildlife minerals on the asteroid, Nanotrasen scoured space around the station for a new source for that sweet, sweet Plasma. unLuckily for you, they found a young planet almost completely covered in lava and a host of deadly creatures. Did we mention the ash storms? There are ash storms as well. Don't forget to grab a bluespace shelter capsule. You're definitely gonna want one of those.

Welcome to Lavaland.

Shuttle

Mining Shuttle
Mining Shuttle

This is the lifeline between the main station and the planet. It's the only reliable way to get between the station and the lavaland. Contains a crate for processed minerals. Also contains an ore crate, which you will probably want to use. Shuttle consoles (both inside and on stations) can be destroyed to prevent the shuttle from moving.

It can also carry megafauna from the mining base to the station.

Mining Base

Mining Base

This is the part of the mining station that contains most of what you need.

EVA Room

Contents:

  • 3 suit storage units containing explorer suits and gas masks.
  • A pickaxe.
  • A mechanical toolbox.
  • A tank dispenser, which has 10 pure O2 tanks ready for use.
  • A cyborg and mech recharging station.
  • 2 ore boxes in the airlock.
  • GPS devices for when you die so that your colleagues can locate your body.


Old Smeltery

Before the Ore Redemption Machine existed, miners smelted their minerals using this set of machines. In case you need to use them, they work by putting an ore crate on the top right, on the input of ore loader. This machine will grab ores from the crate and put them on the conveyor belt, which will feed them to a smelter. Interactig with the console will let you choose which ores to smelt; do not smelt two different ores at the same time unless you want slag to come out (or plasteel in the case of plasma and iron). The resulting minerals will be carried out by the conveyor belt, on the bottom side of the room.

The coin press in the upper left corner can be used to manufacture coins from any kind of mineral.


Living Quarters

Living Quarters after 2022's Lavaland Base remap

This is the more rarely used side of the Mining Station.

Medbay

Only stocked with a few medkits, an IV and some blood packs, but it is usually enough to fix the damage you might incur while exploring Lavaland.

Telecommunications

The machine inside this room is the only thing that allows you to hear and speak on the station's radio channels. If it is disabled or destroyed it'll cut off all radio communications in Lavaland.

Equipment Room

Here you can find a second set of mining equipment, useful for those who become miners through the HoP. This room also contains a cyborg recharger, for mining cyborgs. Useful for finding a second KA to dual-wield.

Kitchen and Bedrooms

The kitchen has some food in the form of donk pockets and a vending machine, plus loads of beer. The bedrooms aren't particularly useful, which makes them great for hiding contraband or cult runes.

Storage Room

This room contains the power and air supply of the mining base; additionally, it starts with a locked crate which contains random loot. The crate can be opened by guessing the correct combination; a multitool will aid in this. Pushing the crate into lava or shooting it will result in explosion.
