Is it possible to add a second or larger area, where ore is placed from a drill? I'm new to modding and not sure if this is even possible. My goal is to make a drill that can output ore onto more than one belt at a time. I've tried a few things with vector_to_place_result but it does not seem to take multiple entries or simply crashes upon launch.

You'd probably need to create two separate entities (one of which can be invisible if desired). A good example to look at would be the Concrete Lamppost mod which shows have to create multiple entities when place builds something and remove the extras when they destroy/mine it.
