Then maybe the population limit need to be 100 times smaller again.

If somehow 450 nodes were found (so that 450/500 allowed buildings are mines), this is still only 2,700 jobs. Did any thought go into this?
As we were just talking about on Discord. It would be a lot more interesting if building blueprints could get harvester modules added to them. So a mine building blueprint can get an advanced mining module that adds a cost of Vulcium, but it can then add more jobs per rock. It would give a good new use for advanced resources and let us use technological advancement to increase mining yield.
