This feels questionable content. But more importantly...

Why?

Why do miners have to eat rocks? It's funny yes, but what function does it have? Does it give you energy or fill you?
Otherwise just get Matter Eater and you can do that too.

If you want NOTHING to happen.. it has no point.
If you want something to happen.. you have a whole department that doesn't have to take a break for food anymore, give em a coffee machine and drinking is off the table too.

So tell me.. why is this needed?

Salt is a rock

Sounds like this would be a good mutant race attribute instead of a job based one. There's enough ore variety that you can do some special interactions
