I think this was mentioned in passing, but there's also a huge difference between goon mining and other servers' mining. Goon miners get an asteroid magnet, while shaft miners get a whole world of adventure to mine in, complete with actual, bullet hell bosses that drop magical swords and staves. Which creates a sort of perverse incentive, because there's a lot of motivation for a miner to not actually mine and instead go adventure for sweet lootz, rather than mine minerals for Robotics and R&D so it can make mechs and advanced mining equipment for said miners.
Once, though, somewhere on the /r/ss13 discord, I saw a guy praise goonstation mining over tg/station mining on the basis of having a device that automatically collects ore on the ground. Which tg/station apparently actually does have, but in the form of a cute little mining drone that picks up ore for you.
