Subject above doesn't feel worded very well but basically I use to not send a construction ship to build a mining station on a resource unless the total of all the resource percentages added up to 120ish. Not sure if that was a very good rule of thumb before but I'm looking for something the guide me in this version

For my first mines I'm going by the rule of thumb of at least one source of each important mineral of at least 60% or greater.

After that I haven't figured out yet.

I think it also strongly depends on the ressource. I found some luxury ressource which has a lot of bonuses and the amount was 40 %. Build a minig station

I go for any shortage resources regardless of abundance - especially caslon.

Otherwise I greenlight basically everything the Assistant ask me to build.

Early game it depends what I need, also it is easy and fun to micromanage and optimise it.
I definitly get looser with it as time passes. The advisers do seem to often recommend leeching the tiniest amounts from some useless rock though.
I think in DWU my lowest was a combined 75% in general

I just put mining stations wherever the list suggests them. I'm not too concerned with abundance.

Honestly just build them everywhere and I seem to do fine. Ignore low yield asteroids early game, but otherwise it's not felt like you're very limited in construction capacity
