There are certainly parts of Oshan engineering I enjoy quite a bit. I like hunting for hotspots out in the ocean to set up power, and it can be satisfying hunting for, and pinning, hotspots on station. Issues arise when either mining is too good at their job as mentioned, or you're the only engineer actively working on anything, or worse: a combination of both. I have had some of the most stressful engineering shifts on Oshan just from mining doing well, which isn't their fault of course, and being alone pinning hotspots. Oshan is a map I basically never do any mechcomp stuff on because I know I'll be pulled away from it near constantly.
I really like the suggestion given of mining being able to aid in some way and take some workload off of engineering, as I really don't mind the hotspots drifting through the station. Only when there are several of them, and they're all causing breaches or exploding rooms with welding fuel in them. This and the suggestion of pinned hotspots not showing would be a very nice QoL change, as it can be very frustrating trying to find a second hotspot that is too close by.
