TL;DR

Take into account ressource drain and productivity while showing the expected ressources of a mining drill

Why?

"Expected ressources" seems equivalent to "how much ressources will be produced by this mining drill" (with no overlapp on mining area).
Except it's not.
Different quality of big mining drill have the same expected ressources, even with different ressource drain, which feels weird.
The same goes for a mining drill with productivity modules.

What?

Either :
- use the mining drill ressource drain and productivity to compute the expected ressources
- rename the expected ressources to something like "remaining ressources"

Or better: show both
