|-
![[File:miningdrill.png|32px]]<br>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 It's twice as fast as the standard Pickaxe but is quickly superseded by better variants and is expensive for what it gives.
|-
![[File:diamonddrill.png|32px]]<br>Diamond Tipped Mining Drill
|Very powerful drill, able to almost instantly mine mineral walls. Very expensive in terms of Diamonds needed to produce however.
|-
![[File:sonicjack.png|32px]]<br>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.
|-
![[File:Modkit.png|32px]]<br>KA Triggerguard Mod
|A modkit that will allow species that cannot normally fire guns to use the KA, such as golems and hulks.
|-
![[File:Modkit.png|32px]]<br>KA Range Mod
|A modkit that increases your KA's range by 1.
|-
![[File:Modkit.png|32px]]<br>KA Damage Mod
|A modkit that increases your KA's damage by 10.
|-
![[File:Modkit.png|32px]]<br>KA Cooldown Mod
|A modkit that reduces your KA's cooldown by 0.25 seconds.
|-
![[File:Modkit.png|32px]]<br>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.
|-
![[File:Plasma_Cutter.png|32px]]<br>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.
|-
![[File:Adv_plasma_cutter.gif|32px]]<br>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.
|-
![[File:bluespacemining.png|32px]]<br>Mining Satchel of Holding
|Very cheap mining satchel that can hold an unlimited amount of minerals and ore.
|-
![[File:NV_meson_glasses.gif|32px]]<br>Night Vision Mesons
|These glasses work like normal mesons, but they can see perfectly in the darkness negating the need for flashlights in lavaland.
