Just bought the game for PS4 (after being a faithful PC interloper since launch) and this gave me the opportunity to play NMS 1.0 before updating to Visions. It was valuable experience for me and opportunity to fully appreciate the amount of work done over these years to improve the game THIS much.

Mining, as one of the main gameplay mechanics, was dramatically refined: faster overall process, removed recoil, satisfying explosion effect, sound design etc. But even after all that the gameplay of this mechanic is still a “point and click” activity with no need to be creative. Player can’t mine faster than his multitool laser can cut, so basically player can’t use his own knowledge to be better at mining, the process is “automated” and purely math based.

I suggest to add a (visually logical, like thin parts or colored parts) “sweet spot” to every mineable object in the game where “mining damage” will be higher. Additionally, the ability to reveal these spots with visor will increase the reward for scanning rocks.
