Interesting addition, new with Revelations 1.4 ----
after whacking all five waves of rats and salvaging the wrecks, i came back to mine the plag and pyro 'roids.
they are boobytrapped ... 150 hp smartbomb. detonations seem to occur with increasing frequency as you continue mining.
a covetor definitely will not stand up to this abuse (I tried ... got down into armor quite quickly despite small sheild booster running full on).
bring a hulk for the clean up alot of rocks
it can keep up with the traps
lots of veld pyrox plag
To the mining, I were doing it with Retriever and Exequror (Exeq was fitted for RRep).
Bombs detonates at the end of mining cycle, so use stripminers, don't try to mine with regular mining lasers, or you will be pushed away from the sky.
