Thanks for the support! I have done some preliminary work to get it to launch. But have been busy with other stuff and wasn't able to fully test everything. I also don't know how I'm going to support other planets. Should it only work on Nauvis or also on the other planets? What resource should it mine on those planets? Any suggestions are welcome!
If you have experience with modding yourself try out my pull request and let me know if there are any specific issues: https://github.com/jurgyy/Factorio-Canal-Excavator/pull/5
I'll probably have some free time around the Christmas break so maybe I get around to release it by then.
