gonna be real I think you should just play scientist or something
mining is in a nice spot as a job with a low skill floor that still has some occupational hazards. its lack of necessary complexity means that it's accessible to people who don't feel up to learning a whole medical or engineering system, but the occupational hazards still give it some stakes. trying to introduce a dedicated solution for every single little thing that goes wrong turns the job from an opportunity to react to things as they come into a Knowledge Check Role. we already have plenty of Knowledge Check Roles and they work fine for what they are! miner would be much less fun if it was one of them
