Miners need more hazards in their life

[MaxIsJoe]

Description

Currently the mining job is too easy on unitystation and does not have the current set of challenges that almost all /tg/ based servers have. Miners need the following to spice up their journey to lavaland.

• [x] The inability to breath on lavaland without an oxygen tank (Limited to some races only)

• Lavaland has air, but it's not as pleasant to breathe for some creatures like humans, moths and felines.

• [ ] Goliaths

• Goliaths are slow moving creatures that do heavy damage and have high health

• Goliaths can root the player using their teneticals and stop them from moving for a signifcant amount of time and drop everything in their hand.

• Goliaths can destroy mineable walls in a single hit.

• [x] Hidden Ores and Gibinote

• Normal mining scanners do not show what kind of ore is hidden within mineable walls, including hiding the Gibinote. Very slow scan frequency.

• Advanced scanners can show exactly what type of ores are everywhere and have a higher frequency to show everything to the player.

• Gibinotes are not only important for clearing a big chunck of the map at the start, but they also add an extra hazard for miners who are not careful when dealing with them.

• Goliaths can trigger the Gibinote using their tentecals or by ramming into it.

• Gibinote Can be disabled using a mining scanner before detenation for good rewads.

• [ ] Heat and SEVA suits

• Lavaland is pretty hot and requires a special suit to walk around in.

• SEVA suits prevent the player from taking heat damage while in lavaland and can be slightly effective at ash storms though not much.

• Explorere's suit works the same but has no extra benefits and has no protection against extreme heat, lava, etc

• [ ] Limit the storage capacity of mining satchles to match the balance of /tg/

• /tg/ forces you to make frequent visits back to main station to deposit your goods so you don't binge an entire mining session once and call it a day like how we do already.

I've mentioned stuff that already exist on SS13, but here is some suggestions based on things I'd like to see :

• Ghost Role cultists/alien civlization that lives on lavaland and attempt to kidnap Miners for sacrfice
• Remove the lavaland teleporter and make it a physical place you travel to using a ship
• You might say we need Z levels for this but we don't really, just make the shuttle teleport to lavaland.
• lavaland mining stations are designed in a way that makes it so nothing can reach the landing pod that easily without breaching mining station first. Important since most of the lavaland wild life are extremely deadly.

I feel like the ghost role you mentioned would serve better as an expansion to ashwalkers as they feel kind of lacking rn and would give them more interesting things to do. Also maybe with the shuttle to lavaland, maybe it could be fun to have a warp gate, a structure that shuttles could fly into and be transported to lavaland, like the gateway but for ships. Could also make it teleport to a random point in lavaland. Though ideally still in space so the miner would still half to fly and find a place to properly land.

Ash storms according to Dan on discord are impossible to make currently so I'm removing them from this list

quick heads up about #10205

Explorer suits are not meant to have such high levels of resistance against heat. That's SEVA suits' job. For now, mining suit will fulfil their jobs until SEVA suits are added in game.
