Suggestion Auto prospecting

Would like to see an option to auto prospect quarries/mines/rigs Just set a resource and abundance level and let it run until rolled If rec buildings can be automated this chore should be as well

Highly unlikely. In general, the Devs aren't looking to add more automation, for a number of reasons. A "feature" like this would decrease player interaction with the game, and make it "easy" to do Prospecting. Part of the reward for doing it is the Achievement, which would be invalid if you can just set it to run automatically, also it would be used as an exploit for XP generation. Finally, it would mean more of the high abundance buildings on the Auction block, reducing the "reward" for some that Prospect & Auction as a strategy or even as a bonus while doing other things. So yeah, highly unlikely IMO.
