Speedbag Minerals and other minor things

Love the game. Short time player first time poster. Anyhow, a couple things I noticed after the Dangerous Creatures update, 2 new to me and a couple recurring items.

First thing, after pulling mineral resources out with the PRAWN's propulsion cannon, I naturally try to get my drill on. However, this sends them flying off into the distance. Not to the point where I can't find them, but it does make it time consuming to collect resources. I noticed that they added a shaking animation to the drilling process, so Im guessing that's part of the issue. Using the propulsion cannon I can keep them attached, but they still fly away once my drill makes contact. Just takes a couple seconds for the cannon to reel it back in.
Second thing new to me, but I have seen has been an issue before is breakdancing reefbacks. Past couple outings I've run into the usualy pods of them and they are just happily spinning in circles. Im assuming it's a mating ritual and it's just that time in their tri-annual cycle.

Recurring issues are:

the star field in the sky appears in front of the giant celestial body cruising across the ceiling. Unless of course those are actually Precursor satellites monitoring our lone survivor's progress.

and I think there's an event horizon continuing to form near Lifepod 5. A collection of office equipment, debris and coral tubes continue to mass together in the sky nearby. Doesn't affect me in any way, however it is still unnerving.

Other than that, having a blast. I'll make my way to the Lost River zone at some point, but Im just enjoying the ride.

Great job UW team.

    I think we're intended to drill resource nodes while they're in the ground? I do it with drill/claw combo, and nothing goes flying anywhere.

    I would like grapple/prop-arm to pick up stuff like the claw arm can, though. Claw arm is still useful for the punch, but as of now it's the ONLY way to pick stuff up.
