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 cource 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
