I'm a bit confused. We already have "Sell All" option to sell all the minerals at once. What are you proposing exactly?

The whole idea behind the system is that your ship can only hold so many minerals, and you have to take those and sell them before your cargo hold can take on more. So selling all the minerals before they get to your ship doesn't really make sense, unless you want to turn your mining planets into a source of hourly income which can greatly reduce the cash flow altogether.

I don't mind taking a loss to do this. The game is supposed to be fun. I don't find the aspect of grabbing minerals and selling them fun.

If you are worried about what you might be missing, you don't use the button, it is very simple. I can see a way to make it work and still have your cargo size count. In my example, I have to do 11 shipments to get everything. Instead, have the button, in the background, do the 11 shipments, sell them and give you your money. It is the same as if you had done it the long way. Everyone wins, Exotic matter can still go to your cargo space.

I don't like this idea, you are essentially rendering cargo space useless. Plus after you've had time to gain artifacts, this isn't an issue anymore. I have 1200 cargo space and that is all from artifacts.

So instead of pulling minerals off a planet, the amount of credits that show up in your bank per hour would be based on the top mineral you are receiving. So early on that is dynite. If that planet mines 50 minerals an hour, the money added to your bank would be the sale of 50 dynite. Then you don't have to keep mining them, but if you go the easy route, you could lose a lot of money in the long run. This system would at least fit the theme rather than selling everything before your ship even hauls it. (To do this you would need two types of mining buildings, one for the cargo extraction and one for the automatic extraction.)

Its a work in progress.

So you're saying a button that automatically fills your ship and sells each shipment of minerals untill your mineral points empty?
