You're welcome, and thank you.

I am aware that the drill's inconsistent behavior is Not A Bug; it's simply annoying (yeah, I'm a little OCD). Is it possible that the function could be exposed to mods as well, to allow mods to alter this behavior?

I'll say up front, this issue is completely impossible on vanilla Factorio; infinite, mining-drill-accessible resources don't exist. However, with a very simple mod that merely sets all ores to be infinite (I used "Infinite Resources - Depletion", though I plan to build a custom version th...

Yeah, it does look like the access is not granted. Since the idea is to make the drill more consistent without modifying individual ores or drills, so it'd work with all non-special modded ores, it seems to be impossible. No event fires when the drill produces... and without overwriting ore deposits...

I have a bit of a problem. It's a rather unusual problem... Thing is, I'm using an infinite-ores mod on my world, so the mining drills display such numbers as 350/s... yet still produce at their 0.5/s rate. What's more, if the overall drill has a displayed rate of 60/s or so but one of the ores it's...

Dividing the stacker, especially when the number of trains to two of the three stations is known (and fixed), is definitely going to be the best solution- puts the trains for each station actually closest to that station. After doing that, I'm left with exactly 25 slots for the last station... Meh, ...

Okay... so if I want this station to work fluidly every time in vanilla, I have to redesign the stack to separate the three types of inbound trains (ore, fuel, and plate). Which isn't hard... Also tells me this stacking system is only "flawless"ly reliable up to 26 slots. Good thing I know...

The station is occupied in the screenshot; I have, however, vacated the station and found the issue to remain. The problem is that the train should be pathing through one of tho...
