# Mining Loot to be reworked/rebalanced/replaced
Formatted as:
[Code Finished] **Name** - Explanation - *What is wrong with it currently*
- [X] **Soulstone** - Just make it the variant that can't grab sleeping/unconscious people. - *The only way this is relevant for a miner is a oneshot combo with Voice of God sleep command (removed but now it's even less relevant).*
- [X] **Voice of God** - Has an immobilize command in addition to the knockdown. - *Spices it up and you can choose between immobilizing while they can still attack you or knocking them down while they can still move.*
- [x] **Lava Staff** - Make it create "colder" lava that deals less damage. - *Something that creates infinite one-shotting traps is kinda stupid.*
- [x] **Staff of Storms** - No longer creates storms, by using it in hand you can stop all kinds of weather, but if you aim it at a tile, a telegraphed thunder will appear, dealing a bunch of damage. This thunderbolt will have a giant boost if in an area with ongoing weather effects. - *This one isn't bad, but I feel like weather effects are kind of boring and the station doesn't really have any counterplay other than to wait it out.*
- [x] **Eye of God** - No more X-Ray, it can keep the mesons/night vision. They give you a scan ability, using it lets you target a mob with your cursor. By clicking on a mob, that mob becomes "staggered". You now have an internal pinpointer to it, it gains and outline and it doubles the cooldown on their ranged attacks (or every attack on megafauna) for 30 seconds. - *This one is really boring, it's just night vision X-Ray you can't take off. It also becomes stupid with hierophant club.*
- [x] **Cursed Katana** - Is no longer a katana subtype. It's a sort of organ/implant you can extend/retract, deals 15 damage and you can hack and slash at stuff with LMB/RMB, with certain combinations of inputs making special attacks. If the target is fauna, every slash has a low attack cooldown. The curse is mauling your hand if you retract the katana without using it on an alive target. - *Another kind of boring one, and way too station centered. You lose your hand slot making mining way harder and instead get a super insane melee weapon with 40 damage and 50% block chance you can't drop.*
- [X] **Antique Laser** - Replaced with a freeze cube, since it spawns in a winter biodome. You throw it to freeze something. - *You shouldn't get a powerful traitor objective from a ruin.*
- [x] **Anomalous Crystal** - Telegraph it, make snow theme not shit. - *Instantly turning into a clown isn't fun.*
- [x] **Memento Mori** - Traps a guardian spirit/holoparasite inside it if the master reaches -100% health. Frees when out of critical. - *Being unkillable with combat ability is BS.*
- [X] **Berserker Hardsuit** - Buff the ratio between damage dealt and charge gained. You currently need 400 damage (or 266 from projectiles) to have it activate if I'm reading my code right. - *Too weak.*
- [X] **H.E.C.K. Suit** - One piece hardsuit, space-proof, lets you butcher corpses to recover, scaling with their max health. - *Kind of just outclassed by drake armor, this should be an appropriate reward for Bubblegum*
- [X] **Wand of Fireball** - Removed. - *You already get a spellbook for an unique spell in the same thing you get the wand from, it's also just taken wizard loot, it has no place in mining.*
- [x] **Drake Armor** - Lower armor values, especially for bullet. - *It's a good upgrade to the mining suit, but the values are high for everything, with low bullet armor it's an alternative to hecksuit which has high bullet but low energy.*
- [ ] **Spellblade** - Replaced with: Soulscythe. An unique scythe that can be possessed by a ghost. At any time the scythe can leave your hand and be it's own mob with varied abilities controlled by the ghost. - *It's a gun that delimbs and recharges. It's incredibly unfun to play against and is another wizard weapon.*
- [ ] **Dusty Shard** - Now gets 3 special mining related guardians and none of the wizard/traitor ones. These can help you mine and have special abilities for fauna fights. - *The random guardians you can get are in no way helpful to mine other than the standard or support one. They are killing machines designed for the station.*
