Hi there!
It came to my attention while modding my game (after like 5 hours of constant enabling and disabling of mods to fix this), that this mod shot up my loading times from +-2 minutes to 40 (LOL). Since this mod has been tested to saciety, it seems like it must have some kind of incompatibility with another mod from my list.
My modlist is pretty big, so I'm just going to share the ones related to mining in hops that someone can share which one might be the culprit for the incompatibility.
Asteroid mining (doubt it)
AAI Vehicles: Miner (really doubt it)
Extended Vanilla: Mining Drills
Mining patch Planner

Cheers!
