I have a small macro set up when surveying fora good concentration of resources that really makes things much easier. Its very simple, yet so handy, anways for those who dont know it or use it, here it is:
/dismout
/pause 1
/survey
/pause 1
/mount
Thats it, but its so nice to click one button and be on my way. Basically I leave my survey window up always so I know where Im going (or you can find the wp, but I prefer seeing the concetration percent) and have the resource I want to survey hightlighted, then I just go and every 500m I stop and press the button and keep on going. Things go much much quicker now.
Also use your factories as storage. You can put anything in the input hopper. Its convenient for multiple accounts who have houses far away and factories somewhere else (like me). Anyone on the admin can access the hopper so basically its like a bank for everyone on the admin. Very handy for dropping stuff off.
Last, use macros for adding power and paying maintenance. I have three macros set up for this. One macroo adds a name and administrators to the list. So it would be:
/setpermission admin (player name)
/pause 1
/nameStructure (name)
Next macro adds 2 days worth of power and maintenance to my heavy harvesters, but you can set up to add any amount:
/paymaintenance (amount)
/pause 1
/addpower (amount)
My last macro is for redeeding. It adds 4500 maintenance so that my power and macro remains more or less the same so I can use my above macro.
/paymaintenance 4500
Another useful command is /structurestatus. This brings up the status window.
This next macro I am making tonight to get through the display bug for power.
/harvesterDeactivate
/pause 1
/harvesterActivate
/pause 1
/structurestatus
There it is, all these thing make mining much less tedious and allows you to do other things in game.

Almost forgot, use /notepad. Its very useful to jot down things in game. I use it to keep track of how much maintenance and power I put in my harvesters and on what day/time I did it. Alos I write down the resource the harvester is getting and who the harvester belongs to. Very handy.

The other ones I already had, but never thought to do this one. Great idea!
