Increases the damage of the mining laser, and sentinel mining laser, so that playing with "Enemy Strength" set to challenging doesn't have a ridiculous impact on your mining speed.

One of the more annoying things about the game's difficulty settings is that changing the "Enemy Strength" setting to "Challenging" also severely nerfs your mining speed. Which doesn't make a lot of sense, rocks and plants don't fight back; I really do not consider them to be my "enemies".
This mod addresses that silliness by doubling the damage of the mining laser (and the sentinel mining laser).
Also increases the damage of the Animus Beam....because seriously, that quest step is stupid slow.
Modifies the game file ""METADATA/REALITY/TABLES/NMS_REALITY_GCTECHNOLOGYTABLE.MBIN"" so is not compatible with any other mod which also touches that file, unless you compile your own merged mod with AMUMSS. LUA file download is available for anyone who wishes to do so.
Warning: Using this mod when NOT playing the higher difficulty will work and make mining stupid fast. Not recommended unless you just hate mining and want it over with as quickly as possible.
For Game Version Cursed 5.22
No update to this mod is required for game version 5.29.
Suggested other mod: This mod pairs well with the Mining Speed Fix mod by Lo2K, but they do not do the same exact thing. Using both mods together does require building a combined mod using the LUA's.
