idea- geologist's hut
So having cleared my island some time ago, I am getting real tired of having to find nodes every day to maintain production.
So this is a simple idea- geologist's hut. To build one you require a (normal) geologist, which is consumed, and it takes a building license. Perhaps give as a gem shop item with the cost as 1 geo and some gems, so you can replace it if you demolish it?
The hut can be set to find one type of resource automatically and can only be set to find ores allowed by current level. It automatically finds resources but does so much more slowly.
Search times that seem balanced
Stone- 2 hours
Copper- 4 hours
Marble- 6 hours
Iron- 8 hours
Coal- 10 hours
Gold- 12 hours
Of course it can only find one type of thing at a time and with those times you will either need a lot of these huts or to also use normal geo's. This idea is mainly to help remove some of the tedium of finding resources all the time.

you would also need the hut to auto demolish the quarries/mines as they deplete
