Self-Mining Mine

I wanted to get a stucture that could be placed on top of a mine to mine for you. So far, the part I've been having trouble with is (obviously) getting it to mine itself (without triggers). I don't want to lag the map with ongoing loops and all for every mine.
Suggestions?

You could try giving the gold mine the harvest gold and lumber ability, but that might crash the game.

I have made peasants that harvest lumber independently by giving the peasants the return gold and lumber skill.

And really, having a loop pick a few mines isn't going to lag unless you're running on a P2 500mhz MMX piece-of-shit.

A 500mhz could run a loop like that, I think the problem would be the 3d graphics and the game more than the PC.

Yeah, well, I'd like to have as little lag in the map as possible. I already built the structure with the "return gold" and "harvest acolyte gold" abilities.
