This is actually a really nice mod for only one item! Just one thing, it gives a normal burner miner when you break it, so try and fix that.

Hey lol, didnt realise it did that!

I fixed up the mod, added research, changed up a bunch of stuff!

Should be better now, hope you like it

This seems really useful.

I would note that this, and the burner generator have, despite being red tech, excessively long research times. 15-20 seconds would be more reasonable.

Thats because i copied the technology from one to the other

Also I'm not really sure if research time is that much of a concern, its about double what the most other red tech itms take (60 secs compared to 30) but i dont think you will be in any great rush to be researching it

At any rate, most of my small mods are implemented in a 'guesswork' of balance, eventually i hope to combine a multitude of my mods into its own great grand game changing mod, in which all research costs will be re-evaluated

If you don't mind I have a suggestion. With this mod maybe add a new tech that unlocks electric mining drills? Possibly costing green science. That way there's an incentive to use this drill.

Anyway, awesome work. Love your mods.

Hi, have you considered giving the advanced burner mining drill a larger mining area? Possibly one tile outside drill's body, analogous to the electric drill, only it would be 4x4 because burner drill itself is smaller?

This would allow for burner-only coal mining setup (see below) to mine out the patch completely. Right now if you want to use that setup you have to do a second pass to mine out coal left under belts and inserters on the first pass.
