I'm not 100% but I think your mod blocks me from traditional mining of resources when installed with at least Space Exploration.

Obviously more testing is required.

This is a design decision. Belts and small/medium electric poles cannot be built on sand/desert, so I decided not to add miners to the exception list. To build a mine, you have to pave the area with brick first. It's a relatively small additional cost, but it does not block mining entirely.

I'm back. There seems to be a problem with terraforming that messes with Krastorio 2 and Space Exploration when both are installed.

This includes the necessary mods for Space Exploration and full AAI + Industry; plus global warming and dirt path.

Failed to load mods: Error while running setup for entity prototype "anti-crash-furnace" (furnace): next_upgrade target (assembling-machine-2) must have three same collision mask.

Mods to be disabled
Krastorio 2 (0.9.16)
space-exploration (0.2.16)

This doesn't happen when terraforming is uninstalled.

I added some compatibility code for Krastorio2. It's fixed now.

Thank you.
