Please expose MiningDrillPrototype#vector_to_place_result to control stage. Maybe as LuaEntityPrototype#mining_drill_drop_position.
Currently you'd have to spawn in a temporary mining drill and get its drop position via LuaEntity#drop_position.
Expose MiningDrillPrototype#vector_to_place_result property to LuaEntityPrototype
