All those exposed motors/servos/metal/whatever could make contact and spark, which would be very dangerous in the mines where simply sneezing can cause explosions True, but if Dust is really that volatile, then there is absolutely no way for anyone to be safe mining it. Sure you could find someone with an Aura to shield them (something which all living things have, but may or may not have unlocked), but the only thing to do is to minimize the danger to the worker.

Also, how exactly are these Dust mines made? Do they just bore a hole into a mountain, excavate raw Dust by digging around the find, or do they open-pit mine?
