Secondary Mining Station
From the perspective of an R&D player miners seem to die way too often; for whatever reason, like the infamous watcher + goliath, ash walkers, a chasm or lava, or because they tried to solo a boss with roundstart equipment.
My idea was to set a secondary landing zone for the mining shuttle in a more peaceful section of lavaland, with less or no spawns: of course, to balance this, there would be no special loot/ruins. This would:
-Get new miners a location to practice in a somewhat safer zone until they get better equipment
-Split miners so if one is an antag the other two don't necessarily die
-Give people who job-change to mining an area to mine in without needing the specialized equipment, if the original miners are unavailable
-Be a way to still mine if the first base is compromised (ashdrake, ash walkers, etc)
Please, i'm tired of doing RnD several rounds in a row and never seeing a miner.

Re: Secondary Mining Station
Sounds much like our old system, where going North-East from the mining station would yield a safer, less valuable haul, whereas North-West was full of goodies and monsters.

Re: Secondary Mining Station
Scientists should not be able to go mine their own minerals without going through mining. We shouldn't be rewarding people who just wordlessly go get a bunch of stuff and then print a million guns and kill everything and end the round.

Re: Secondary Mining Station
Ad some small asteroids On da station z level with small ores in em. That way once they're mined out you can connect them with catwalks and make them airtight and force lizards to live in the asteroids

Re: Secondary Mining Station
I mean dragging an ore crate and strapping an oxy tank in your back isn't that hard. You don't need more items than a proto and an ore satchel, and that fits in pocket.
Just tell sec to let you use the gulag if Mining Station got Burned/Invaded/Judged/Gored.
