Automated mining is a lot less efficient than regular mining though.
Maybe I will support automated PI head placement if it means losing 60% efficiency too!
Those ‘other people’ can be my other alts and I know when and where they cycle. Yes, I do take their placement into account.

People have complained for years, the one way they could eliminate most of the clickfest is to allow t-1 materials to be turned into t-2-3-4 materials in a refinery.
Let’s not exaggerate. While it is a horrid click fest, it’s not the worst UX of gaming. You just lack perspective of pre-SNES gaming days to truly appreciate it.
I started with Pong. I still have my 2600, and hook it up a few times per year. :]
The UX for PI is decidedly less pleasant.

Have you blocked out what setting it up was like?
I also played bubble bobble.
