* SidetrackBonus:
** "Mine Entrance":
*** The initial outdoors area has a Power Shield on the other side of the lava pool.
*** The lava canyon has a breakable wall that contains a secret Rocket Launcher.
*** There's an alternate path to the upper level of the third lava room in the lava canyon.
** "Upper Mines":
*** After the first elevator there's a pit with an Adrenaline pack and a Rocket Launcher. It gives you two ways to exit: via RocketJump, or falling to the crusher below and hoping to survive.
*** There's a hidden Megahealth in the outdoors area, and the only way out is to fall to the pit that leads to "Borehole".
*** The 2023 remastered version of the level contains a new area extracted from the early versions of the level with a Tank and some goodies.
*** Prior to crossing the bridge to the computer room, you find another corridor at your right. It holds a secret cache and contains a button that triggers a bridge that allows you to quickly return to the outdoors area.
*** The computer room has a broken computer with a Quad Damage.
** "Borehole":
*** The ''entirety'' of the lower level isn't necessary to complete the level, but it leads you to some weapons, a secret Adrenaline pack, a Quad Damage, several enemies and health and ammo packs.
*** Triggering the mechanisms in the drill room opens several {{Monster Closet}}s with Gunners on them. One of them contains an alternate entrance to Drilling Area that allows you to bypass ''the entirety'' of the first area's enemies and puts you ''next'' to the mechanism that triggers the bridge to the Factory unit, saving you a ''lot'' of time. And, with the Silencer next to said entrance, it also allows you to catch ''all'' these enemies off-guard, making them easy picks for your weapons.
** "Drilling Area":
*** In the first portion of the level, below the stairs there's a Combat Armor and some enemies.
*** In the second portion, there's a secret Invulnerability behind a cracked wall.
*** After returning from "Lower Mines", in the room with the elevator to "Receiving Center", you have several crates that lead you to a secret Adrenaline. And by swimming into the mud pool you get an instant access to the first portion of the level.
** "Lower Mines":
*** You have two paths to the laser room. You're meant to take the forward path that leads you to a cache and whose floor breaks before you can reach it, forcing you to swim through the mud current and then fight the Tank guarding the laser controls. But not only you can ''still'' get these goodies via trickjumping, but there's also a path at the right that leads you to an area with ''several'' enemies as well as a secret cache ''and'' a button that releases a rock on top of the Tank, thus avoiding said fight.
*** Right after the laser room, there's a corridor. On one extreme, it has a Rocket Launcher, it triggers a crusher that pushes you to a wall, and can kill you if you aren't fast enough. On the other extreme, there's an Adenaline pack you may miss if you triggered the crusher prior.

The other takes you to the upper level of said area where you can press a button in order to let a big piece of rock fall into the Tank and saving ammo.
