Miner UPSGrade

by Kingdud

Yet another big miner. The goal was to preserve the mining rate, pollution, and energy usage of 25 beaconed (8-per) miners crammed into a single monolithic building. Arguments can be made that it's slightly faster, searches too large an area for ore, etc, but the reality is, it's good enough. This mod, as with most of my other mods, exists to save UPS via reduced entity count while being as non-cheaty as possible.

  Bugfix:
    - Fixed technology icon size.

Version: 1.110.1
Date: 1/21/2021
  Changes:
    - Miners no longer require beacons around them to achieve full speed. Becaons no longer affect UPSgrade miners. Modules can still be used.
    - As a side effect, module slots also had to be removed. The miner building now has the stats of a miner with both 3 prod and 3 speed modules in it. I thought about making two versions but...eh, nuts with it. It's not *that* broken.

Date: 1/21/2020
  Changes:
    - Added Mod Setting (startup) for how dense the new miners should be. Default is 25:1, but you can go up to 250:1. The Power/pollution/recipe costs scale with density!
