This is a really nice mod, and I really appreciate the general compatibility with so many other mods.
However, it can be a bit rough due to missing localisations. That's not game-breaking, of course. For example:

  • metal-and-stars ores
  • corrundrum
  • dea-dia-system
  • Krastorio2 (Space out): rare metals
  • Moshine
  • Lignumis
  • Secretas & Frozeta
  • shattered planet mod (I think it's just another uranium ore field?)
  • probably all other planet-based mods which adds new ores

Furthermore, the in-game Factoriopedia entries of this mod's ore fields are ungrouped, and I think they would fit next to the normal ores or in the environment group.

Additionally, I think this mod's miners should also be able to output stacked ores on a belt, and it is sometimes odd that they output on the farther side of the belt rather than the closer side. This behaviour occurs when the belt direction is to the east.

Lastly, I suggest that the second miner is flagged as successor to the first one, meaning that with the upgrade planner, one can upgrade to the next tier, as they functionally are similar and share the same footprint.
