So...

Carefully pry what you can see out of the mine with minimal vibration while floating on hoverboards (barely any Materials gained, but safe)
Restart Mining, get Material. (Steady Material flow again, but cause the burrowers to start appearing)
Ignore Mine. (Explain in post, please)

Sure.
Autoturrets when we don't require more vespene gas lack materials.

The fire trap will take the concept of the falemthrower, compress it,  it will shoot vertically downward from the ceiling from its own little compartment, and will be switch operated.
Is this allowed Aklyon?

A fire trap sounds cool, but I think that the way you described it, it would have a very small area of effect, whereas the railgun would be able to hit anything you can aim it at.

It's in a hall, and you choose when it activates. They're required to run through it if they want to get into the dome at all.

rty's right. And like I said, the railgun seems like a relatively safe weapon to crit fail.
Conclusion?
WE MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS.
Also.
YOU REQUIRE MORE MINERALS.

You said it's on the ceiling so, hallway or not, it still only hits a 5 by 5 foot area at most.

EDIT: On the subject of critical fail, should the flame trap crit fail, then at best, it wouldn't work, and at worst, it would explode, showering the area, and you in flaming oil

Wouldn't a moving wall-mounted trap be more effective (both defense and cost-wise)?

Also, Twi, you never answered my question about the grenades.
forgot something before I post the update:
Twi, there was only 5 sets of explosives. do you want me to give you 10 grenades?

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

I have no idea how this post happened. Seriously.
Aklyon: You mean like crushing them? Or like, giant blades?
Didn't see the question. Thought they were bought in groups of 5, and there were 5 of those available. I'll take all of them, then.

Also, @insulation for Lillipad: You're going to have to trade the engineers something if you need a suit too, they've only got so many spares.

I think what Aklyon means by "moving wall trap" is actually a moving trap mounted on a wall.

Yes. Or a guy running back and forth behind the wall with a flamethrower stuck through a line in the wall, if you guys want to save as much as possible.

But it has to be a guy who doesn't own any red shirts. Just to be safe.

Ah. >_>
In that case: CEILING. GUN. TURRETS.
Alternatively, GIANT BLADES.
Alternatively, laser wall?

for future reference so it doesn't confuse anyone else:
A set of mining explosives is 1 pack of mining explosives and the matching remote detonator.

I dont think sustainable solid light is possible. But it would make a good wall.

EDIT: I mean for the laser wall.
