The mining drones (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/robotMiningSite ) seem quite capable of mining the ore patches. https://imgur.com/a/MVSt24t

It's not a big deal because it's very slow, but probably not what you intended to be possible. I'll also report it to the other author and see if they'd like to implement a fix, too.

Hello,

Indeed that's not intended, I would say that the robots mining restrictions are a bit too free. Deep core mining ore patches are designed to be in a different ore category from normal ore, so normal mining drills can't mine them and only deep core miner can.

So I would say it would be more logical for the robomining mod to change this behavior as I'm not sure I can do it loosly on my side without making an excplicit overwrite for this particular mod.
