I don't see any difference in the 2.2.4 build in terms of space mineral desposits. In fact, if there's a difference it's that every single habitable planets seem to have fewer resource deposits than before unless hardcoded (e.g. capital planets). It may be just bad rng, but of the 5,6 games I've played since the new beta I've yet to come across a planet that's legit good.
