At the beginning of the dev blog it mentions how mining feels like the only way for new comers to make money, then it goes into how they plan on making this easier for new comers to make money by adding more different types of mining...
I think what is needed is something like agriculture, this is already a highly upvoted feature request, and can all be done above ground for new players as an alternative to mining. The dev blog stated they wanted more above ground ways for new players to earn money, so I think farming is the way to implement that.
In return this opens the future for other possible gameplay loops like maybe a basic needs system, or player run resturants, bars, farmer's markets, etc.
