I’ve been thinking of a way to spice up mining. First, we’d keep the “sit and shoot a rock while I clean house” afk approach intact. Some people just ant to sit and stare at a rock.
I was thinking developing a mining game might be fun, but I remember the research teams flopping unexpectedly.
But what about adding project discovery on top of mining? A person could solve discovery problems and get added yield from mining lasers?
