If another player joins during an ongoing mission, they will only be awarded the resources deposited after they have joined, any resources deposited beforehand will be subtracted from their total on mission end.

Minerals are used for a variety of things, including: upgrading your gear, promoting your dwarves, forging weapon overclocks, and purchasing cosmetics. They are primarily acquired from mining ore deposits and gathering carriable objects dug from terrain with colored glowing specs.
