how to reinvigorate mining in 1 easy step:
make it 3 things: fun, simple, and worthwhile
if its boring and monotonous only a small amount of people who enjoy repeatedly performing boring monotonous tasks will play miner.
how to make it fun and simple: make it so that you can just walk towards asteroids to drill through them. autopickup minerals. be able to dump your minerals into the reclaimer easily without having to click drag 1 mineral at a time.
how to make it worthwhile: make it so departments can benefit more from you mining up shit. make it so robotics can build mining robots to help rapidly collect and process minerals. make it so qm can get lots of money.
give mining its own budget and ordering console to purchase better equipment. keep the fabricators, but make it so they can only make lower-end stuff, with the high end stuff on the computer.
