Potential ways this could be executed to generate a price for this feature without it just being an added option under settings or something.
1) Make it a GP purchasable artifact structure that can only be placed on a planet with the "Invincible" trait.
2) Make it a CT Lab discovery, perhaps one that utilizes ship-bots to create an automated processing line to create a size 5 or so artifact structure for a planet, or perhaps a size 20+ Devices category ship module.
3) Make this a GP purchasable ship module, again something sizable enough to take hull without being unable to be equipped my smaller ships.
4) Go the "This is such a great item, and so useful, but at the same time almost breaking the game powerful item that it needs severe restrictions" route.
Examples of how you could do this: size 80 energy module, GP purchasable (100 each, perhaps?), takes a reactor slot. There would be one for artifacts, one for mining, and one for research collection. Research version operates as a research contract only. Mining operates as sales of all only. Artifact operates as deliver all option only. This effectively limits many players as they would have to run without reactors during the time spans for the deliveries to be collected if they wanted all three resources to be collected.
If you have the resources all collected hourly schedule it to happen at 1 minute before the next scheduled delivery, so there was almost always 1 hours' production awaiting use. If it collects hourly, this can also effectively prevent several artifacts from being collected depending on the individual's resource production, for better or for worse. If that is seen as too powerful perhaps have it collect every 4 or 8 hours, as those appear standard time intervals for many functions already.
