Is it normal that the area of effect is not visible when I place the mining-sites?
Is it possible to make it visible?

@Jano1 - I had a look at the code and from what I can see it's missing the part which makes the mining radius visible.

@ judos - Try adding this part to your code for the miners:

radius_visualisation_picture =
{
filename = "base/graphics/entity/electric-mining-drill/electric-mining-drill-radius-visualization.png",
width = 12,
height = 12

I am not sure if it's going to work, cause your mods has no entity.lua file. I presume that robotMiningSite.lua & robotMiningSite - large.lua are your drills.

Hope this helps and best of luck.

P.S I am going to give the mod a try, it gives a new perspective to mining.

Hi Sharmah, there are no drills in my Mod ;) these are just construction robots mining items which have been deconstructed (by the mining site).
It's quite a workaround but it does what I expect...
However for the animation I have no clue how I could add it, your approach won't work unfortunately
