Automatic player mining?

In the early game I'd love to be able to stand on top of a resource patch and have it be harvested while I interact with other parts of the GUI (reading recipes, queuing production, etc).

You could probably write a mod for that but this is not the intend of the game.
You should mine by hand as short as possible and start automation with coal miners.
It is possible to get the first automated iron plates in 2-5 minutes.
You can also write a mod that let you instantly win after game start if the game is to hard for you.

Sure, it's possible, if you know the correct build order for everything. I still have to look through items to find the recipes, especially if I'm playing with mods.
For example, when I go to mine some stone, how much stone do I need? 5? 8? Time to check the Stone Furnace recipe.
There's no reason to penalize the player for having to look up information. We can do 2-3 things at the same time in so many other contexts; why not this one?
