First thanks for writing this mod. I love it. It saves me so much time :)
I just noticed problems with this today and it had been about a week since I last used this.
Basically I setup a simple bot base blueprint where I have 2 mining drills facing each other with a chest between them and a medium electric pole next to the chest. This is the same set up I've use 100's of times before.
But today it placed only a few of chests where there would just be 1 drill facing the edge of the ore patch.
After that it didn't place any chests at all.
Plus it didn't place the drills next to each other anymore.
Instead it was spacing them out by 1 space between horizontally neighboring drills
Last it totally failed to place any power poles at all except for 1. This is with smart placement on.
And just listed the number of drills saying they were all unpowered because it could place poles.
I'm running with Bob's mods but not Angel's in this case.
I'm not running that one curse miner mod either.
I'm not sure what else I can add to help out with this.
There are no errors in the logs
In short
1) not placing most or all chest, just the first few if any
2) spacing out all the drills by 1
3) failing to place all poles but the first when using smart placement
