Private Mine: No-Slave Option

[superschokokeks]

I think It would be neat to have a option, where you can craft or hire something like a slave for mining for people, who just don't like slavery.

Maybe a robot, which can be built, but cost a lot of resources.
Should be equal-effort or more than slavery. rather more. Shouldn't be too easy and slavery should be still an option.
Why should I capture people, when I can easily craft a robot, which do the same?

But why should I build a robot, which needs more effort than slavery?

Just an idea. I just don't like slavery.

(I wouldn't profit from this idea anyway with the loner trait)

I think devs were thinking about it.
From me, it would be nice to buy robot or hire real miners. Should cost more than slavers, but should have better carry weight than this 200 cap of those  slaves.

I'd prefer seeing private mines simplified, resources spawning in lockers and whatnot.
Perhaps you could hire miners/robots to determine how many resources spawn, preventing the need to buy many mines.
