I never said or implied that it _was_ stressful.

You indeed never called it _stressful_ explicitly.

Implicitly that is what I interpreted it to be though by hearing it called ‘less chill’, ‘action-packed’, ‘less sleepy’, ‘less cozy’, ‘no longer relaxed’, ‘feels so fast’.

I got the impression you now can barely keep up with how fast and action-packed it is, it’s nearly stressful now to keep track of all those mining cycle messages and sounds multiple times a minute.

I think that’s being pretty disingenuous…

It is.

I’m just surprised that people complain about the increased speed of mining cycles when this literally has had no impact on how fast mining ships fill or need to swap asteroids, because the cycle time change has had no impact on yield.

The amount of action you have to take is, besides additional yield from crits, exactly the same as before so it’s objectively not more ‘action-packed’.

Yeah, I can see you don’t get it already, you don’t have to repeat yourself.

the end result is the same, its just “less chill” to hopefully prevent “more bots”
