It would be nice if we get new types of mining devices:
- a faster burner mining drill which is crafted with an engine and some steel (and use lubricant to run?)
- a faster electric mining drill which is crafted with an electric engine and some steel (and use lubricant to run?)
- a electric mining drill which automatically goes to the next ore of a selected type in given radius

I think we dont need more miners. You can upgrade them with modules to make them faster. Also the first idea is pretty much useless if you have to fill the miner with coal or fuel + you need engines. I would never use it because its too awkward to set it up.Its the same with the lubricant btw.

I though that they are good for resources that are very far away. Maybe the lubricant was not the best idea.
