I am not 100% sure what version I used previously but as of earlier today when I updated and reloaded the mod hit this error.

These are the lines specific to this error that I can find:
"Error while running setup for entity prototype "steam-mining-drill" (mining-drill): Invalid fluid pipe connections: connections must all be at least 1 tile distance from each other.
fluid energy source fluidbox 1 connection 2 ends up being the same tile as mining drill input fluidbox 1 connection 6."

I've installed all the mods, and it looks fine, but i don't have steam-mining-drill, maybe is other configuration.
You can enter only with this mods and Filter Mining Drills, go to mods options and uncheck the "Add fluid connection to all drills", then it should work.

I think the steam drill may be part of Bob's and is an optional but I'm 100% sure.

If I disable fluid connection for all drills I assume that will make it only work for whitelisted drills?

Will work with all drills who have a fluid box connection, like all drills who can mine Uranium, because it needs sulfuric acid.

Hmm, but wouldn't that make it totally non-functional since a Uranium drill would ask for sulfuric acid and not water/lubricant or does it replace the sulfuric acid requirement?

My mod only works with resources that do not require a fluid previously, so with uranium it can never have a boost, all other resources will work.

Unchecking "Add fluid connection to all drills" did not fix the issue. It appears that this mod is still trying to add the fluid connections to that drill that already possesses a connection. I also confirmed that the steam drill is part of Bob's Mining Mod and is a setting on the configs.

Would it be possible to have this mod use a check to see if a drill possesses a connection before attempting to add connections or maybe use a blacklist to disable it on specific drills?

You're right, my bad.
The problem is drills like pumpjack, with a fluid output.
I'll turn off this option by default and add a option to exclude a drill.

Thanks for feedback.

Awesome, thanks.
