Mining

* Mining?
* Ore?

Lathius Talram the Shaft Miner says...**No time to chat. Have to get down there and** Mine **some** Ore. What, you're still here?
**Mining's** real easy, kid. Just go down there and click on whatever**Vein** it is you want to mine.
After a few seconds, you should have have yourself some fully processed**Ore.**
Beginners should get started by pounding some**Sand** to make**Glass**.

Of course, you're probably going to need to build some experience up before you go after some of the**fancier stuff** Yeah,**Ore**. Not much else to mine.
What's it used for? You sure do ask a lot of questions.
I think those purple-shirts down at**Fabrication** might turn it into**Weapons** or something. I think they're shut down right now until someone orders supplies for it from **Cargo**
Alternatively,**Ore** can be sold straight for**Money** from your**Inventory**.

## Overview

**Mining** is a **Job** where many new to the station get their start with the simple exchange of **Time** for various **Ores** which can be stockpiled for later use in other **Jobs** or sold for that sweet **Space Coin**. A dedicated miner with an assemblage of gear can get more experience, mine more quickly, and maybe find some extra items.

The mines await.
