How to collect red sugar

[Mike1304]

How can I collect red sugar and how can I see how much I already have and how much I still need to achieve some goals ("Collect xxx red sugar"). The red sugar is the glowing red mineral, right? If I mine it I can't collect it when I have full health. So does that mean, I need to get hurt first so that I can collect it and at the same time restore my health? Sorry, don't get it...

Red sugar is the health mine nodes. You need to take damage to be able to collect it.

Thanx. But strange, because why should you want to take damage? ;-)

Why would you collect the healing stuff if you are not damaged?

I think the mechanic requiring you to be injured for collection is to offset an artifact. There is one where you get permanent (for the run) HP with each red sugar. So risk vs reward.
