gollark: I mean more like being able to queue up batch operations on furnaces/mines or something, so you can say "process 10 clay into 10 brick" and your stuff will be busy for 150 minutes.
gollark: Hmm, perhaps. Maybe a thing where you can queue a bunch of actions to run in a batch?
gollark: Some offense, but this honestly seems like a bad mobile game where you have to constantly log in to collect resources and stuff, but you also have to manually handle the rules too.
gollark: Honestly this is kind of boring.
gollark: > Auto-anvil> Entirely manually operated
