Mines with/without people in them

Why is it that when a mine has people in them, the sky map doesn't show a color & when there is nobody at all in them, they do show color?
When I mine I don';t want people coming in to mine me so 'try' to extend the same courtesy
to others but it is hard to do when I look for an empty mine only to find that the color on the mine in the over-world has lied to me.
It seems to me that each time cc adds something or does an update, other things get 'broken'.
Like why do I have to place my realm 5 times a day when it has 20,165 blocks built. Why is it that each update I have to find a spot for at least 2 realms that have 20k & 40k blocks built and a realm stamp.
Is the mines issues I have going to to be exacerbated by the advent of over world changes? Will more mines be added to overcome mines being so crowded?
Answer the questions, ignore the rant.

I think that a different code is interfering with the color change/ Some other code is disrupting the color change but this is just a supposition on my part.
The devs themselves has stated that something has broken when they went in to do an update relating to a different part of the game, so I imagine this has happened a lot.
I chalk it up to fat little fingers adding or removing other things when they go in and change one thing. lol

Also most realms reset when a new update comes around.
But if you hate mining with other people like a social person and like to mine alone like a sad, lonely introvert you can either:
1. Buy some rooms that are not empty (they do not have to be massive)
2. Leave this game as you think that it is so Imperfect and broken and go make your own game with your own rules.
BTW: How about mines nor regenerating / always empty, because everyone keeps the mines active. Would you like that?! I bet no. You would come to a similar conclusion. I ussaly enter mines that have no ores, because everyone enters, cheks: empty, and quits the mine...
I do NOT get these ppl, who are so quick on hating things. No offence to anyone.
And SDgamez, i would bet that Intimate needs to mine, to get cubits, so that's a stupid idea. Not saying everyone here is mean, but the things some ppl here say aren't tolaratable! Im not saying names.
Oh, and didn't i say? I do agree with Intimate
Good day.
Also they have at least two shops that get them a lot of cubits so I don't see them going out to mine. They most probably go out to get resources
Minimum 1000 C to get around 400 C worth of minerals!
However, it's not that hard to actually find another empty mine either.
However, if you mine a lot for resources (either to build or sell), it can be annoying to check the skymap to find an 'empty' mine, go into the mine, open friends list and then click on add friends to see if people are in the mine and then have to close two windows before being able to mine alone because the function is broken.
As a fellow miner, I use basic mining etiquette where I pull a couple blocks at the door, so other miners can see that someone is in there (or was in there recently and the mine hasn't regenerated). It was handy when people adopted this for Egg hunting too during this past event. But not everyone does it. It would be nice if the skymap function actually worked. However, with the overworld changes, not sure if it will be a valid issue anymore (or if it will get worse because we'll be forced into mines with others).
Also, it's not necessarily a matter of being anti-social, as much as it is that there are many rude players that will jump right into the same area where you are trying to mine to steal your blocks and cubits even though they have the entire rest of the mine that they can be in. I've had this happen more times than I can count, and I like the option to jump to another mine with no one when this happens.
@b3achy , easier way to check a mine for people is to do /trade when you walk in the door. If someone is in there it will tell you and you just walk back out the door. If it's empty it will just tell you over your head that you are the only one there. No windows to close :)
I'm sure they will fix it sometime soon but for the time being, we should be happy with what we have.
Also, I agree, miners should leave some holes in the front door and I have had experience with people just stealing stuff that I mined, but I think the trade and whisper commands are pretty good for finding out if someone is in a mine so you can search for other ones.
One tip: go to the mines of Aspen pelago and spire. no one goes there.
But I still think that if you want complete privacy, you should:
a. Turn on offline mode (I mean, duh!)
b.invest in a room as it might bring you more gain than loss.might.
