Choosing between the serum or prosthetic for Jan Miner in The Alters can feel tough. Many players want to keep their crew happy and working well. This guide will help you pick the best choice for Jan Miner in The Altar. We will look at how each choice affects him and your team.
Jan Miner’s Problem
Jan Miner is a key part of your crew. In his past, he lost an arm. When you make his Alter, he suddenly has both arms again, which really throws him off.
He feels weird and upset, and he’ll ask for help. You get two main choices: give him the serum to regrow his arm or fit him with a prosthetic. Both options change how Jan Miner feels and how your team works.
Best Choice for Jan Miner in The Alters

When you get to Jan Miner’s, you have two main choices. You can give him the serum, which grows back his real arm using repidium, or you can wait and give him a prosthetic if he loses his arm later.
I’ve tried many different ways to handle this, and honestly, every single time, Jan Miner ended up losing his arm.
It seems like this is just part of the story, and it might be impossible to stop it from happening, even though the game gives you lots of choices and different paths.
Let me tell you what happened when I gave him the serum:
- Jan Miner was really happy with the serum, even though he felt unsure at first.
- Jan Technician liked this outcome, and since he’s always on your team, keeping him happy is a smart move.
- Jan Scientist was also happy with the serum choice.
Here’s my advice: pick the serum, the repidium arm. It keeps Jan Miner happy, and the other Jans seem to like this outcome too.

Just keep an eye on Jan Miner’s mood—if you ignore his pain or give him drugs for too long, things can go badly for the whole crew.
If you go with the prosthetic, Jan Miner can still do his job. He just doesn’t seem as happy as he does with the serum.
Final Thoughts
The serum is the best choice for Jan Miner in The Alters. It makes him happier and helps the whole team work better. The prosthetic works but doesn’t bring the same joy or team spirit. If you want a strong, happy crew, go with the serum.
