Good point and very well put.
I would argue, like it has been said many times before, that it's down to where you base the variance in the pipelines.

Both have their good bits...from the perspective of being a long term player of both games. I would suggest that some unholy union of the best bits of both would, in all seriousness, create a game I would probably never leave

Not 100%. They are formed by massive 'rooms' (tunnel sections, mini caves, pits, parts of big cave, etc) connected to each other.
Don't know if those rooms are manually or procedurally placed.
Imagine if you were watching The Descent at the same time!
I remember the design team talking of some form of procedural generation 'in the future' when they designed and implemented them...but I suspect that Surefoot is correct in suggesting they are...for the moment..100% hand crafted and placed as POI's.
That first time in the cave in SC produced the same result as watching that film...me shouting at the screen wanting to throw stuff at it
Hmm.. i see where you are coming from. Perhaps if CIG applied a deionized tin to the downstream particle filter they could variate their pipelines upwards by 500%!
If anyone managed to find me 'roid mining out in the Aaron Halo belt I would be shocked and stunned...not everyone is daft enough to go mining space rocks at Yela 200 yards from Grim Hex

I know, right??
If I was in charge SC could have been released last week.
#learn2code!
Why is the player getting out of the ship to mine the asteroid? ( I haven't watched the video ).If anyone managed to find me 'roid mining out in the Aaron Halo belt I would be shocked and stunned...not everyone is daft enough to go mining space rocks at Yela 200 yards from Grim Hex
I've made around 20 "missing person" missions and you find some identifiable 'rooms' pretty easily almost in each cave. The most easy to identify are a pit with a specific pattern to get out and one low tunnel where you have to crawl. Also the trench in the big cave is easily recognisable.
Hand crafted rooms connected together by hand is 100% hand crafted. We'd know if they were procedural because there would be caves sticking out above the planet surface, or intersecting each other, or all sorts of other artifacts like with everything that's a technical challenge and not a trivial asset task that CIG attempts.
Yes, the 'rooms' have been hand crafted like everything in SC. Each cave use this rooms connected to each others and a same room can be found in several caves. SC is not a voxel game like NMS or Astroneer.
Have you considered writing CIG's release notes for them? Seem to share the same love for.. technical.. extrapolation.
New mining mechanic where you can attach something to the asteroid that makes it possible to break asteroid.
For the asteroids that a single prospector cant handle on its own.
Same with the caves in prison.
