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.

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