I'm playing with this mod, SE and Krastorio 2 (also a few others), and I'm just building my silo on an other planet.
I remember that earlier there was a progress bar above the drilling site, but it's now missing (was it taken out with the update?), and now it's at 10500 finished products. When I built my first silo on Nauvis it didn't took that much "products", and it also gave a lot less sand, so I have serious issues now about where to store all that has been excavated because I didn't think that I need more than a few warehouses for it.
I think it would be nice to have a wiki page (either in Informatron, or if 1.1 comes out it would be the best in the new miniwiki) with the current setup, with details about all of the stages, including time, input and output.
