Mining platform wouldn't be that hard to do.

Will be tricky when it's built out of mining range to the planet, and then tractor within the mining range. Or when the platform is full but the mining beam is still working and the server does not keeping track of it.
You will have to put starport or something like that on the platform.
But, I still have to mine to have enough res to build mining platform.
It's complicated after all. I don't know what people expect from planet but having at least 1 barren being a resource farm is quite essential.

I like the idea of a Mining platform , way more effecient than the station idea.Id love to see that in beta.

Why are space based mining operations on planets so much better than mining facilities on the planet themselves?
I could see high yield asteroid mining, but would it not simply make more sense (and be infinitely easier to code) to boost the output of planetary facilities?

Pretty much this. Though the output of planetary mines doesn't really need to be boosted, people just need to learn how to properly build a mining planet and use factories too instead of just loading it up with nothing but inefficient mantle extractors.
