Editing Shaft Miner (section)

===Who Needs What===
Miners don't have to deliver ores directly to departments -- they can if they want, or if those bastards are too lazy to leave their fortress of <s>autism</s> science -- but it never hurts to know what to aim for.

* [[Scientist]]s at least a bit of every ore. In exchange, they may give you upgrades for your Kinetic Accelerator, a [[Plasma Cutter]], a [[Research_items#Mining Satchel of Holding|Mining Satchel of Holding]], and, if you're lucky, Night Vision Meson Scanners or a [[Bag of Holding]]!
* [[Roboticist]]s need diamond, uranium, silver and gold for building mech parts. Give them enough and you've indirectly helped out most of the departments on the station if the Roboticists are competent enough to build helpful stompy mechs for everybody! Too bad the lavaproof Firefighter is the only good mech for mining.
* The [[Quartermaster]] may want mineral sheets to trade them in for bonus supply credits. Plasma in particular is both common and valuable.
* Everybody could always use more iron, glass and plasteel, but especially Roboticists and [[Station Engineer]]s.
* The [[Chemist]] and [[Guide to xenobiology|Xenobiologist]] will all appreciate having extra plasma.
* A competent [[Virologist]] can use several sheets of uranium to create incredibly powerful healing viruses that let you heal out of crit in two seconds.
* A [[Clown]] with Bananium is a grateful and dangerous ally.
* The [[Bartender]] can use a few sheets of uranium or iron to craft some of his rarest cocktails.
