[2.0.37] Cannot read entire resource patch of Lithium brine

Given a pumpjack with the following circuit settings:

And this current states:

Expected: a signal of around 1.9M Lithium brine on an attached programmable speaker.

Actual: the remaining Lithium brine of the actual "mining drill", not the entire patch:

Thanks for the report however this is working correctly. The map view and the mining drill patch info are not related and use 2 different systems. The drill version will only include resources that are directly touching the tile adjacent to the resources under the drill.

Essentially, it is useless for pumpjacks and will virtually never include anything except what's under the pumpjack directly.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Thank you for the quick reply and the explanation.
I expected it to work the same way than regular ore patches, especially as the option is presented and selectable. But just connecting all pumpjacks works fine, too :)
