> New player here. Something I’ve noticed about mining is that it tends to be very passive/low APM. Which: A: Makes it unengaging for solo players and… B: Makes it easy for bots/multi-boxers. The solution? Add in a mini game that rewards paying at least semi attention to your screen. Example: Every 15~30 seconds your lasers will need to have their intensity/whatever adjusted via a mini menu above the weapon bar. Failing to do so will result in lower output during the completion of the cycle. …

Already ahead of you. (And yes, I do view that as a problem as well. x20 bots/boxes will vastly outstrip anything a single player could ever output on their own.)
