would it be possible for Tm in a future version to mark a bookmark as empty after it dosnt find anything there and would'nt pick that 1 again just so it would save a bit of time going to the belt again when its empty, or is the whole warping to a random belt from the list, would it make it impossible to do this ?

Good idea... Not sure if he can detect that.

Hehe yes I've been thinking about the same thing and there's a good probability I'll implement it in a future version. It can be done, although not very easy and I'm not sure of its usefulness since once the belts start running out of ore that system is nearly mined out anyway.

the only problem i can see with this is that sometimes TM thinks a belt is empty because it took too long to warp or something, so it could actually lead to marking belts as empty even if they are full.
