A better way to get hulls

[WaffulMann]

It is way too hard to get a decent amount of hull in survival right now withou commands, so I suggest the following changes:



Mining: If you were to use a mining beam on an asteroid block, instead of giving you the block as it would if you were in astronaut mode, it would give you a number of ore/metals per block.

Refining: You then take that ore to a refinery, found at shops (or you can place a module on a station like a shop module), then refine those into hulls/hardened hulls!

Do your research. What you\'re explaining is pretty much exactly what factories do.

What I wish would be done is make cubatom refining work by x amount like splitting and fabricating does because I still don\'t have enough shield blocks to even get a shield block recipe.

A shield block can be fabricated easily from a black hull and a gray hull which I have tons of, but having to click a bajillion times to refine is for sucks.
