    As driller, yeah, making sure there’s a tunnel up is my main job. Usually Molly takes my tunnels, which means I did them right.

    In the olden days, Molly’s pathfinding would sometimes fail, which is why the Drop Pod will open fifteen seconds before launch even if Molly is not collected. So some of us OG miners don’t trust Molly to take us home anyway… or don’t like to trust Molly. Sometimes we’re desperate.

    We still have troubles sometimes during Simple Mining missions in which the cave has too much verticality, which can make a fail state for solo engineers in rare cases. As with Bulk Detonators at the end of Salvage, sometimes Hoxxes is unkind. Curiously, with all other mission types since, exfiltration depends way less on the vigilance of the crew assuring accessibility to upper levels.
