Sulphuric acid is being used up when mining an iron tile in the same drill range as uranium

Reproductibility: Always

Step to reproduce :

Create an iron patch just next to an uranium patch
set up a drill with both ore in its range

Expected results

When no sulphuric acid is provided, the drill should mine the iron until exhaustion.
When sulphuric acid is provided, it should be used when and only when uranium is being mined

Actual results

The drill locks itself attempting to mine uranium, as it is missing the requiring fluid ( see viewtopic.php?p=282696 )
The drill always uses one unit of sulphuric acid per drilling, regardless it outputs iron or uranium
