I would like to suggest and new addition to mutaplasmids that would effect strip mining equipment. Primarily for this post will focus on strip miners and mining laser upgrades.
Strip Miner T1 Base Stats:
Activation Cost: 90.0 GJ
Mining Amount: 600 m3
Residue Multiplier: 0 x
Activation Time / duration: 180 sec
Optimal Range: 15 km

Strip Miner T1 after being combined with a Unstable Mutaplasmid:
Activation Cost: 90.0 GJ
- +30% - -30% ( 117 GJ — 63 GJ )
Mining Amount: 600 m3
- +20% - -20% ( 720 m3 – 480 m3 )
Residue Multiplier 0x
- +10% - -10% ( 0.1x - 0x )
Activation Time / duration: 180 sec
- +20% - -20% ( 216 sec – 144 sec )
Optimal Range: 15 km
- +20% - -20% ( 18km - 12km )
CPU Usage 60.0 tf
- +20% - -20% ( 72 tf - 48 tf)
Strip Miner T2 Base Stats (With no crystals):
Activation Cost: 120.0 GJ

- +20% - -20% ( 576 m3 – 384 m3 )
Residue Multiplier 0x
- +10% - -10% ( 1.1x - 0.9x )
Activation Time / duration: 180 sec
- +20% - -20% ( 216 sec – 144 sec )
Optimal Range: 15 km
- +20% - -20% ( 18km - 12km )
CPU Usage 60.0 tf
- +20% - -20% ( 72 tf - 48 tf)
ORE Strip Miner Base Stats:
Activation Cost: 120.0 GJ

- +20% - -20% ( 22.5km - 15km )
CPU Usage 50.0 tf
- +20% - -20% ( 60 tf - 40 tf)
With the recent changes to all things mining, I believe this would be a great addition to give us miners even more control over our precious min/maxing that we so love to do.
