I tried that and so it did work for a while but than some drills stopped working without showing anything, they just stopped moving and nothing came out of them, 3 of them show no fuel icon and 5 of them are still working. I'm including screen of it, the red ones are working but if I hover over them I still see some ore to be mined, the yellow ones are dead not moving and in the middle are the no fuel ones. None of them are deconstructing. I am not sure why is going on maybe one of my other mods throwing it out.
So and finally. I tried your mod without any other mods and the effect is the same. Some drills stop working and nothing happens, some run out of fuel and none are deconstructing. Please look into it. Thanks.
Edit:
It seems to be working from time to time. Before I had to deconstruct them myself but now it does deconstruct. Anyways I will look into it but for now it's good.
Edit2:
I'm not sure but I've noticed that every of of the not working drills has the battery shown in the entity picture. Might it be that the battery after it's empty or sometimes just because, is being transferred to the storage chest? Just a thought I came up with.
