Automated Mines...?

[Twinki]

So I researched the automated stone mine or W/E and my stone mines still require workers... I tried building another stone mine, fully upgraded and it still requires workers. Is this a bug? Or has the Dev not actually added 'Automated' mines?

EDIT: I can build an automated Ore mine that I just got done reasearching, but I cannot find an Automated stone mine. Also, will these automated mines automatically deposit the ores into the storage boxes?

having the same problem here i dont know what the problem is

you have to research further, automated stone mines are actually only VII or VIII and the automated stone processor is V.
you still need one guy to get the stones to the processor and the building materials to the storage, but if you place both buildings next to each other 1 guy will be the only one you need for the whole process

Oh, Just figured this out actually.

There's still allot more you have to research to get a fully automatic Stone Mine. At level 5 you get more industry tech research options. They include the "Advanced Stone Mine 1 (2 and 3)" When you research those they unlock more stone mine buildings and their either Semi-Automatic, or Fully Automatic. I'm only on Advanced Stone Mine 2 ATM but I unlocked the Semi-Automatic stone mine after Advanced Stone Mine 1.

They really should change the name of the tech tree to just advanced stone mine until you can actually get the automated one.
