[0.18.18] Uranium mining drill fluid consumption issue

Post by SupplyDepoo »

Electric mining drills will stop mining uranium ore when they still have around 10 sulfuric acid remaining (sometimes less, e.g. 6.7), even though their description says they require 1 per mining operation.

Also, the mining drill's GUI never shows the same amount as the tooltip. It's always 0.1 to 1 less than in the tooltip.

I guess the description is wrong and it should say "Requires: 10 per mining operation" and the remaining fluid amount is rounded differently in the tooltip than in the GUI.

The tooltip is correct. It's 1 per mining operation. However, it consumes 10, does 10 mining operations and repeats.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Oh, thank. Got confused because I didn't account for uranium processing (10 ores per u238/-5).
