I wrote my own auto miner for RS3 (though it would have worked for RS2 too), and it was my first foray into the OpenCV and blob detection. If a mineral was ready to be mined it would sparkle with a distinct and small white star. I had no other inputs beyond that, and I remember that the script would work well for about an hour or two and then I'd accidentally try to attack something else that had the nerve to sparkle at me, which would send me on a wild goose chase. At one point I came back to the machine after dinner and found myself running in the wilderness. This resulted in me having to keep an eye on it whilst it "automines", which was frustratingly boring, and probably is similar to what certain drivers feel in their autopilot cars. The worst part is that I was in the vicinity of actual miners who were all talking to each other, and sharing stories, and I was just this dumb mute. When enemies came to grief us during mining, my character would just ignore them and keep mining. It was incredibly rude, and after a while I just stopped using the autominer since it wasn't saving me any time or effort, and was turning me into an antisocial jerk.
