I know this would sound ridiculous and probably won't get uploaded i know but it be cool if this happened...
basically press A at a worker at the mines.
this worker will follow you (only in mines)
when hit the wall or mineral he'll mine it and pick mineral up. and when time runs out he dies (like avatar) and all u collect goes in inventory.
if you went to mining cart place you could make him mione and pick up and leave your cart open.
basically mine while your afk, trading, brutal hunting, ship battling and so on.
course this miner would cost a bit in plat to hire for that amount of time.
100 plat per 5 mins?
