Editing Shaft Miner (section)

===Smashing rocks===
# Find minerals. The further north, the better ore. Activate your scanner and shove it into your bag or internals box. Every once in a while it sends out a pulse that lets you see deposits in the rock a few tiles away from you. Try to get a mixture of every type of mineral.
# Pick up minerals by either having your mining bag in your belt slot or pockets, then just walk over the minerals. If you're dragging an ore box behind you, you'll automatically deposit minerals into the box instead of your bag.
# Once you've had enough, return to the main station with your Ore box. Do not deliver ore to the processing plant on the lavaland mining base, as that room is outdated. Recommended: Ask [[RnD]] to upgrade the Ore Redemption Machine (ORM). Miners have access to the science channel (with :n), but if they are just a bunch of braindeads you can go to the next step.
# Drag your ore box to the delivery tile next to the ORM (north or south of it, depending on station). That'll automatically empty the box into the ORM. 
# Take your mining satchel into your hand and activate it while standing on the same delivery tile next to the ORM. This will empty any ores in the bag into the ORM as well. '''Ores inserted directly into the ORM give no credits (due to a bug)!'''
# Click "Claim". You do not need to insert your ID. 
# Go to a mining equipment vendor to buy [[#Advanced_Gear|advanced equipment]] with the credits you've gained.
