For those of us who actually mine, not AFK. Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if aside from pressing a go button on our mining systems if we could set a time frame for them to be active outside of their typical cycle. Instead of wasting X amount of time. I know it seems kind of odd. On the other hand it'd save wasting time. Just a thought. No flaming plz. Maybe even a seperate low slot module perhaps.

Use your iDroidPhablet or Casio Calculator watch. Consider it a lower-slot module.

Thank you.

Now that I think of it, how can a non-AFK person lose time on a cycle??

Thank you.

Not wasting cycles is done with a survey scanner and item information. Though the scan results could do with a volume column next to the amount column to make estimating when a cycle can be shortened a bit more convenient compared to having to calculate from amount to volume in your head all the time.

Maybe on the T2 version you get the m3 as well?
