No mass deletion when mining
Currently, mining only gives us the ores.
I want it to give us all the mass. In the physical world, mines have waste heaps where all the materials land which aren't transported away to be refined into something else.
Also, we could use all that "useless" sand, rock, and soil for landscaping. Rock could be used as gravel to make streets. Rock, fired rock, sand, and water are literally the ingredients of concrete. I would love building my bases out of concrete.
I don't see a reason to delete mass in this game. there is plenty of space to put heaps (could even just backfill the exploited deposits). Give us landscaping mechanics. Let us use all the mass. Let us store ores as heaps next to our planetary bases. It would play and look great.
And yes, we should be able to literally just dump all unwanted mass out of the connector of our mining ships onto the ground - or right into space. I want mass preservation for immersion, not difficulty.
I like this feedback
