Summary
Balance "Massively increase mining time"
Purpose of change
The parts of #82757 which I pushed out.
Describe the solution
Massively increase mining time. 30 minutes ---> 2 hours for jackhammers (remember: no walls!), or 8 hours for pickaxes.
Increment map damage every 5 minutes when doing mining activities, If the activity is interrupted for any reason, that map damage stays and is 'credited' towards mining time when resuming the activity.
Show map damage in the look around menu, so that there is some indication of this. (Also works for bashing and other sources of map damage. Features!)
Describe alternatives you've considered
Andrei8l suggested migrating mining to be entirely construction, but I am not convinced the overhead to do that is in any way reasonable. This is much simpler and accomplishes essentially the same thing.
Testing
Needs some. Draft until then
