Mining is dead, but it can be revived!

i 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.

Laser drill? Have a bohrum pick at 3 minutes and you can break every rock with ease.

I agree mining needs work but as someone that takes the job a lot, I feel the real issue is there's not much USEFUL you can do with it. You can make a nice spear (which the blob will eat in about 5 hits...) you can make a jumpsuit with protection of 2 or so... you can make insulated gloves but it's WAY easier to just steal a pair... I dunno, aside from erebite which is only really useful to a traitor (too high-collatoral for non-antags IMO) it's all pretty dull.
