Hello,
I am having issues installing and using the mod. I can click on the "Install" button, which downloads the mod's archive in my AppData\Roaming\Factorio\mods folder; however, the mod doesn't show in the game's mod manager.

When I take a look in the mod's archive and try to extract it, I first get a Windows prompt that says that there is already a file that has the same name as a folder.

In fact, there is a data.lua file and a data.lua folder (which contains a data.lua file); the same goes for thumbnail.png and info.json.

better-miners_2.1.0.zip     (archive)
└── better-miners_2.0.0     (folder)
    ├── control.lua         (folder) 
    │   └── control.lua     (lua file) 
    ├── data.lua            (folder) 
    │   └── data.lua        (lua file) 
    ├── info.json           (folder) 
    │   └── info.json       (json file) 
    ├── thumbnail.png       (folder) 
    │   └── thumbnail.png   (png file) 
    ├── control.lua         (lua file) 
    ├── data.lua            (lua file) 
    ├── info.json           (json file) 
    └── thumbnail.png       (png file)

I can see the mod in the game's mod manager, and I am able to use it only when I delete the following folders in the archive:

    ├── control.lua         (folder) 
    │   └── control.lua     (lua file) 
    ├── data.lua            (folder) 
    │   └── data.lua        (lua file) 
    ├── info.json           (folder) 
    │   └── info.json       (json file) 
    └── thumbnail.png       (folder) 
        └── thumbnail.png   (png file)  

Which leaves me with this

better-miners_2.1.0.zip     (archive)
└── better-miners_2.0.0     (folder)
    ├── control.lua         (lua file) 
    ├── data.lua            (lua file) 
    ├── info.json           (json file) 
    └── thumbnail.png       (png file)

I hope this can help the author of this amazing mod.
Have a nice day,
Lamizor
