Building on ressource patches

Post by Quax »

Hi Folks, one question regarding ressources: are ressources blocked from mining if there is anything build upon that ressource? Like, are the ressources that are underneath the transport belt considered as "not available" for the drill? Or is this just optical?

Thanks!

Electric mining drills can pick up ore within the 5x5 blue area around them, regardless of what entities are on them. If the blue square doesn't cover the ore, it will not be mined.
