Lua error in Module:Enemies/infobox at line 185: No enemy data for name "Mining Machine" found in Module:Enemies/data/*.

A Mining Machine is a giant Grineer Object found inside all Sabotage missions within the Grineer Asteroid tileset as the target for any cell operative to destroy, they can be found in 1-4 amount per mission. Enceladus on Saturn is currently the only mission meeting this criteria.

It appears as a green, tank-like vehicle with its barrel mounted with a triangular drill with three Grinders. It works by spinning the three grinders clockwise while revolving the barrel counter-clockwise to chip away at the area being mined.

Notes

• Sometimes a mining machine will spawn in a closed room with a window, as it actively mines. This machine can not be accessed.
  • Other Mining Machines can be found outside of Grineer Asteroids, either mining obstacles or simply in storage in Grineer Galleons, Grineer Shipyards and Grineer Asteroids.
  • There is a dead-end tile in the Grineer Asteroid tileset that features an indestructible mining machine suspended in the air a chain with a console below it. If the console screen is lit, interacting with the console below it repeatedly will result in the chain snapping and the mining machine falling to the floor, damaging it and creating passage to a secret area in which Storage Containers and lockers may be found. Be aware that a similar tile without this secret area can spawn, the console screen being off shows this.
• Though the mining machine seemingly explodes when destroyed, the explosion is purely visual and does not deal any damage.
• Even whilst destroyed, the mining machine can still be scanned.
