How do you mine erbite without blowing up?

[George_Manning]

You can use a normal pickaxe, but the rads will make quick work of you without the industrial armor. Some don’t explode when you hit them, that’s when you run away because they explode and drop the ore instead of dropping the ore immediately. That’s also why it’s a good idea to mine out all the regular rock first, so you can run away really fast.
