minor bug, spawned resources arent collected by idle miners

[HurkWurk]

if a miner has depleted a resource and stopped, and you use console commands to spawn new resources, the miners have to be picked up and replaced before they will collect resources again.

That's a side effect of an optimization done for mining drills and will be staying that way.

Once the drill runs out of things to mine it is shut off so it doesn't consume CPU time needlessly on the extremely low chance that ore is spawned under it.

Sounds like it could be fixed quickly by checking for miners to reactivate when adding the resource. But, ehhh, not worth the effort. If i'd get to choose, I'd file it as a WONT_FIX.

That would be an issue the mod author would have to address, if you are spawning ores with script, check for the miners

Ok, so, how does one reactivate miners via a script?
