Mining is dead, but it can be revived!

i dont think there's a problem with mining but rather its lack of interactivity with other jobs. mining should be like what botany is to the bar to robotics & research. this is something i think the tg branch excels at. research and robotics are fleshed out to be something more than somewhere to make deathchems and bombs and a rarely used resurrection option that you need to fight off doctors/geneticists to use

Mining was meant to supplement other departments, science with artifacts, QM with money, engineering with rare and more sturdy station construction materials and robotics with improved power sources and materials to make borgs. Right now with only 1 mineral magnet you don't have much diversity and mining is much too slow now to be of use for anybody when you're at 30 min in and you finally made a laser drill.
