Talk:Undead Miner

Mining Helmet
As of the most recent update 01/07/2015, Undead miners DO drop mining helmets. Needs verification.

Whoopie Cushion?
I heard an unsubstantiated rumor that this creature has (relatively) high chance of dropping a whoopie cushion. Can anyone confirm or deny that? --Theothersteve7 21:55, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * They don't (as of 1.0.3) --KoreRekon 17:56, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Name
Was the name changed to Undead Miner? That's what the code seems to say... --KoreRekon 17:56, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Could you please post the code?
 * I can't post the code due to copyright issues, but it's name gets set to Undead Miner now. --KoreRekon 18:06, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Damage
Can anyone confirm that the damage is 22, or 20 as listed on the wikia? I will try and test it the next time I run into one myself. MayaMayhem 20:14, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Rarity
How rare exactly is this guy? I've encountered several, nearly once per long-term mining session. It's not a common occurrence, granted, but it doesn't seem to be a super low rare chance either. Then again, it was the weekend and I'd been spending an inordinate amount of time on the game. - Spinfx 05:02, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Every time the game would normally spawn a skeleton, there is a 1 in 15 chance an undead miner will be spawned instead.--GauHelldragon 14:31, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * 1 in 15? I see, thanks. Yeah, that isn't a particularly low probability. - Spinfx 02:07, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

I have probaly seen more undead miners than skeletons.

Merge
Hope i'm doing this right, i figured we should probably have a section to discuss the suggested merge with the skeleton page, according to the suggestion it's because the suggester considers the undead miner a varient, personally i'm against the idea. mostly because the undead miner has a different loot table and name then the skeleton.

Vampire Miner = Vortigaunts of Half Life Series
Do not you think that there is a certain similarity between the two? --  Dinoxel  discussion  14:50, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Drop chances
Desktop 1.3.5.3 source code snipet NPC.cs   public void NPCLoot {...     if (this.type == 44 && Main.rand.Next(50) == 0) Item.NewItem((int) this.position.X, (int) this.position.Y, this.width, this.height, 1320, 1, false, -1, false, false); if (this.type == 44 && Main.rand.Next(20) == 0) Item.NewItem((int) this.position.X, (int) this.position.Y, this.width, this.height, 88, 1, false, -1, false, false); ...     if (this.type == 21 || this.type == 44 || (this.type == 167 || this.type == 201) || (this.type == 202 || this.type == 481 || (this.type == 203 || this.type == 322)) || (this.type == 323 || this.type == 324 || this.type >= 449 && this.type <= 452)) {       if (Main.rand.Next(25) == 0) Item.NewItem((int) this.position.X, (int) this.position.Y, this.width, this.height, 118, 1, false, 0, false, false); else if (this.type == 44) {         if (Main.rand.Next(20) == 0) Item.NewItem((int) this.position.X, (int) this.position.Y, this.width, this.height, Main.rand.Next(410, 412), 1, false, 0, false, false); else Item.NewItem((int) this.position.X, (int) this.position.Y, this.width, this.height, 166, Main.rand.Next(1, 4), false, 0, false, false); }     } ... } npc 44 is Undead Miner item 118 is Hook (also dropped by Piranha(58), Undead Viking(167), Hoplite(481), and Skeleton(21, Headache(201), Misassembled(202), Pantless(203), Groom(322), Astronaut(323), Martian(324), Bone Throwing(449-452) ) ) item 166 is Bomb item 88 is Mining Helmet item 410 is Mining Shirt item 411 is Mining Pants item 1320 is Bone Pickaxe

Bone Pickaxe: 2% chance to drop Mining Helmet: 5% chance to drop Only 1 can drop: Hook: 4% chance to drop If Hook doesn't drop, 5% chance either the Mining Shirt or Mining Pants will drop Mining Shirt: 2.4% chance to drop Mining Pants: 2.4% chance to dop If neither the Hook, Mining Shirt, nor Mining Pants drop, then a Bomb will drop. Bomb: 91.2% chance to drop

 * Not that I think he's right but he did say console version --107.2.104.203 02:34, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
 * He said both Desktop and Console. Nonetheless, he should not start an edit war with anyone. If he has proof of his claim, he should provide it and then we can change it accordingly. He instead kept persisting without proof, and then started vandalizing the page. --Tymon80 (talk) 02:46, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
