Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

Hi folks,
someone mentioned that Refinery usage was somewhat simplified since Update 1.4. I don't know much about mining at all but was planning to do some in my T7 after returning home from my Voyage. Can somebody please explain what was made easier there?

Cheers!

Easy enough.

Before 1.4 you needed to allocate manually metals to the bins for every scooped chunk. Now it does this automatically.

It may seem not a big deal but, together with the new prospector drone effect on 'roids, it is really a game (minigame) changer.

At least for me.
