Granted, this may be a trivial desire compared to some of the other issues that the Council deals with, but it's also a relatively quick and easy fix. Just give me the option of hearing the original strip miner sound file when I'm chewing on rocks for hours on end. Who's with me?

Oh why not.

On occasion, it was nice to tab out to look for new music on the computer, and realize "Ahh ****, my miners stopped" because the sound stopped.

You will be pleased to know that strip miners now have noise on Singularity. Go try 'em out. There are catches though: there is a distinct startup noise, a distinct stop noise, and an operational hum. The lasers will be re-started any time the orientation of the asteroid changes too much, so you'll get a series of stop/starts as each laser in turn restarts as part of the process. Then when the asteroid is depleted you get the usual "asteroid is depleted" voice, along with all three stop noises happening together (which makes the sound a little louder), and the disappearance of the operational hum.

The operational hum isn't quite as loud as the previous strip miner noise, but I found that I could make it prominent by placing the camera between the exhumer and the asteroid, such that the lasers were going through the plane of view.

But don't take my word for it, head over to Singularity and try it out for yourself.

I like the sound on the test server - sounds like something out of a factory. Great mining sound IMO
