Hey,
first thanks for the great mods you developed and the compatibility you provide.

In the current version there seems to be an compatibility issue, when playing with Krastorio2-spaced-out.
I get the following error when trying to load the game with Krastorio2-spaced-out (2.0.13) and ev-mining-drills (4.0.1):

Error loading mods
Failed to load mods: Error in assignlD: technology with name 'kr-electric-mining-drill-mk3' does not exist. It was removed by Krastorio2-spaced-out.

Mods to be disabled:
- Krastorio2-spaced-out (2.0.13)
- ev-mining-drills (4.0.1)

EDIT: Bug is fixed

Hi engineer!
Yeah yeah, I'm also aware of this.

I've prioritized the porting in vanilla 2.1.
Now makes sense to port also the K2 compatibility.
