TA Miners by Wip-Sama is basically one big miner that can fit on a whole patch. Thus you only need one. However it can overlap patches and is why I need the filtering ability.
I added the dependency to the info.json file and it still did not work. The TA miner definition has a type = "mining-drill" so should be showing up as a drill. Only have a basic under standing of how this all works so am stuck for now.
