Newcomer / Intro Any way to set the refinery for mining to an automatic mode?

[DarkwarriorSFN]

Hi guys,

I recently started with mining and I was wondering whether there is any way to automate the refinery process? After every ton of ore is processed, I need to re-define another bin for the same kind of ore. If you are out there for an hour or two, this gets terribly anoying.

Any insights on this? Thanks!

There is no way to automate the refining process - all you can do is reduce micromanaging to a minimum with a refinery with a lot of bins

If you use a big refinery you don't need to vent unwanted stuff all the time you can just process it and get rid of everything you don't want to keep when the cargo bay starts to fill up

but you still have to allocate new ressources everytime something gets processed - people have been asking for refineries with bins that can be primed but as of now this is not possible
