    - Default mining tick interval is now 60 ticks (1s).

  Info:
    - Updated for Factorio 0.17

Version: 0.3.5

  Changes:
    - Now works with solid resources that have prototype properties from fluid resources (bobs ores).
    - Miners now only try to mine resources that they can fit in their inventory, so work well with inventory filters (but the script runs a bit slower).
