For Uranium ore, and presumably any other ores that specify a required fluid amount, they seem to ignore the specified fluid_amount, or at least apply the amount in some way that is counter-intuitive and/or wrong:

Code: Select all

minable =
{
      hardness = 0.9,
      mining_particle = "stone-particle",
      mining_time = 4,
      result = "uranium-ore",
      fluid_amount = 10,
      required_fluid = "sulfuric-acid"
}

Expected result: mining result per cycle is {name = "uranium-ore", count = 1}, required fluid is {name = "sulfuric-acid", amount = 10}
i.e it should require 10 sulphuric acid per uranium-ore.

Currently it seems to only require 1 sulphuric acid per uranium-ore.

It's fluid_amount / 10 per ore.

The mining drill consumes fluid when it starts mining a resource entity and then it mines that resources 10 times and switches to the next in the patch it can find at which point it repeats the cycle.

Ok, but seeing as they're they're part of the same minable definition, shouldn't the result count and the fluid_amount both refer to the same timeframe, i.e. 1 mining attempt, or 10 attempts in a a cycle of 10?
