I don't know whether this is a feature request or a bug, so for now I'm filing it as a bug.

When in the sandbox (god-mode), you can place items from the map view (if there is radar coverage), but you can't mine them.

It would be nice if you can also mine from map view.

Thanks for the report. Building from the map view is limited to your character build distance. The god controller (what sandbox mode uses) has no build distance limit.

Mining from the map view is limited to ghosts only so you simply can't mine from that view - that's working as intended.
