AAI Vehicles: Miner


A set of mining and excavation vehicles that can quickly mine solid resources such as coal, stone, ores, etc. They also harvest any trees in their path (and can consume the wood as fuel). The miners can be used standalone, or and can act autonomously if programmed with the AAI Programmable Vehicles mod.

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

Version: 0.4.1
  Info:
    - Updated for Factorio 0.17
Version: 0.3.5
  Info:

  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).
Version: 0.3.1
