minable =
{
mining_particle = "stone-particle",
mining_time = 2,
-- result = "uranium-ore", No longer ...

Ideally, I'd like to avoid modifying the resource since it has more to do with the miner itself.


A hack could be to duplicate all ores during map generation and add a hidden modded ore with a different fluid. Then ...

The issue I have is that I can't find where in the API are ...
