[2.1.19] Big mining drill mining uranium ore complains about missing fluid despite a tiny amount (but enough) present

Unmodded Space Age save. Game saved with the character at the outpost in question.

My uranium mining outpost has stopped working as it's complaining that it's missing a required fluid.

However the pipeline it's attached to has enough fluid - 2.94 is more than the required 1 per mining operation.

Thanks for the report however this is correct. Drills require 1 fluid per mining operation however they operate in batches of 10 operations at a time. This means the drill needs at least 10 fluid to start mining.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
