I have the planner configured to what miners, poles, conveyors, lanes, and output direction, but where is this "tool" to initiate the whole process? Is it something crafted that allows one to draw a box over the mine? Or is it a shortcut key combo or the placement of something.

There's an actual tool item, it should be next to repair packs at the top of the production tab. Its icon is the same as the mod's picture.

Thanks! I don't actually see it in my save, but that's probably because of other mods. I'll look into it further.

That's strange, I'm happy to take a look if you want to upload the save file.

Way too many mods...lol. (All tested and working in their own individual right, but I have seen very minor conflicts here and there betwixt them all). It just gives me another project anyway. Figuring out where the "tool" went....lol. Thanks for the offer, mate! I'll report back here when I find the culprit.

Well if you can't find it pasting this in the console will give you one.

/c game.player.insert({name="outpost-builder", count=1})

Awesome! That gave me one. Will I only ever need just the 1?

Yes, it doesn't disappear or anything and it's free to craft anyway, so it's not like you're cheating.

I figured out what mod was hiding the planner. "Picker Extended Version", by default, hides all planners in favor of some other manner of revealing them (not sure). I toggled that off and not only uncovered the Miner planner, but lots of others that have been hidden from me that I gave up on.
