Minimum resource gathering rate for drills, etc.

after watching someone do a grand tour of the kerbol system with a relatively small spacecraft, with some drills and a ISRU module, i realized that. scanning equipment, for finding ore and other resources, is completely unnecessary. in the video, he just lands anywhere, deploys the drills, and timewarps, and, eventually, gets enough ore to fill the spacecrafts tanks up. because although there is places with more ore, and faster gathering rate, it doesent matter because you can just timewarp. if there was a minimum amount of ore gathered per second, or however its measured, it would make a need for actual scanning equipment. it can be simple, just a plugin that detects if a drill using the standard stock drill module, and maybe even some modded resource gathering parts, from stuff like karbonite and mks for example, has a gather rate, that is below a minimum, it will turn it off, automatically, thus preventing gathering of ore unless your on an actual ore deposit. sorry if its a bit hard to read, i typed it fast, and i probably might have repeated my self once or twice. anyways, your perspective on the idea? think its neat?
