Concerns with Mining (Both the department and Z-level)

That could work, might help with surviveability too - I can move it out on a long catwalk tether.

That sounds good, it also gives pods more room to squeeze between the station and the rock rather than having to go all the way out and around the rock. I hope the conveyor will be extended too, though. And on that note, the region of the conveyor between the inner and outer doors might need to be extended or something for air management purposes - for some reason, even though it's impossible for both the inner and outer doors to be open at the same time, opening the inner door causes such a rush of air into the belt room that it actually pushes objects backwards along the belt. Either that or something's bugged up with the belt.
