i can clear out tg mining like 17 minutes, pop into space to also loot the syndicates and come home with a space ship like 30 minutes in. with an armory unlike anything the station can contest with, and then just give it away to folks who seem to have behaved themself up to that point. and clearly you never seen lifegivers in mining doing that but on steroids, fighting 2 colossi and bubblegum at the same time and just rolf stomping them. geared miners are one thing, but botanist with mining loot stops admin buses meant to stop them with ease. also fun fact for tg codebase for powergamig botanists using the public access dock vs lavaland. toxins,oxygen,genetic, and brain damage get converted to a 1:1 ratio to brute or burn in regards to damage effects to (mega)fauna. so i have killed fauna with almost 800 damage veggie's in a quad tap. you just have to have to figure out the right delivery methods. also mind you citadel has there unique Fermichem and rework of the base tg chemistry, while some are useless and lewd but there are some dangerous things in there like pre 15 minute Astrogen. aka the thing that slowly fades (deletes) folks from the round if you get it injected before the 15 minute marker of the round. otherwise it takes a hour after getting a od going.
If they don't all get killed. On Skyrat (a server with a codebase that has roots from Citadel, which in turn has its roots in older tg.) I tend to use the ash storms as a signal that it is time to go back up to deliver my ore and ash. The Ash Walkers only try to take over the whole station if you have been mean to them, and that is kind of hard because they have to set the oxygen tanks to their own unique oxygen needs. You are more likely to trade bones, sinews, and leather to them in exchange for the things they uncovered from strange rocks.
@@csmead209 i know the coder useroth from citadel who moved there, who got banned from staff due a somewhat silly issue. he joined skyrat as main coder to rebase them, and after that became rather popular while citadel has been slumping since then. and i would not be surprised if he took some of my idea' s i payed him to code and applied them there too. we where working on slowly giving the ghost roles more fun things to do, and use them to learn mechanics outside of being an crew based assistant. with the main goal to being able to terraform the lavalands and unlock a hazardous lower z level. granted the plans were very loose on based what would pass pr and things that would need tweaking, but most where quality of live updates or additions to ghost crew that also gave crew something.. relatively balanced to play with. oh and with ashwalkers, use pure o2 tanks and lower there pressure down to like 2 or 3 kpa. its very easy to get into mining and nag the masks + tanks on tg lavalands. now your station viable if the staff allows it. and no one ever checks if you use the ashwalker starter rcd, to replace doors with lookalikes with no id access. just try avoiding being a murderboning ass and be annoying at best.

a miner showed me one time that you can actually put the mining bag on the ore scoop it makes it super easy to pick everything up. great episode tho miners mine edit lol as soon as i commented you said you needed to in the video

It’s certainly a very enjoyable short story. I am still pretty annoyed whenever I think about the fact my first edition translation got lost or stolen the last time I moved.
Yeah, as someone who primarily plays miner on TG I understand your pain. I try to get artifacts for cargo to sell since a few sell for 20k. Though most of the time cargo doesn't care or has no idea artifacts are worth anything. Then whenever I play cargo tech/QM miners won't bring any artifacts and the other techs are competent. It's the weirdest and most frustrating thing.
So two days ago I was talking to some fuckin' nerds about SS13. I hadn't played it in a good...six, seven years (as Penis Morgan on goon if anyone has a good memory), but reminiscing had me all hard to play again.
