LuaControl.mining_state resets every tick, or even earlier.

I am using Linux headless server, 0.18.32.

I am using RCON, but same probably applies using other means:

Lets say the player's character:

Code: Select all

local p = game.get_player("b")
rcon.print(serpent.line(p.position))
{x = 74.90234375, y = 20.9296875}

At (76.9, 19.0), I do have a burner-mining-drill, and it in range, so lets try mining it:

Code: Select all

game.ticks_to_run=1

local p = game.get_player("b")
p.update_selected_entity({ x=76.9, y=19.0 });
p.mining_state = {mining=true, position={ x=76.9, y=19.0 } }

rcon.print(serpent.line(p.mining_state))
{mining = false, position = {x = 0, y = 0}}

I need to keep setting it to true multiple times, and then the entity appears to be mined. It usually requires the above command to be executed 4 times. Which is weird, because when manually mining the burner-mining-drill (without steelaxe), it takes about 30 ticks, not few.

Same happens with other entities, like rocks for example.
