The mod seemed to load correctly in 2.1.19, but when updating to 2.1.20, I get the error "Failed to load mods: Error while loading item prototype "vtk-deepcore-mining-drone" (item): ItemPrototype::fuel_category was removed. Please use ItemPrototype::fuel_categories.
Modifications: VortiK's Deep core mining" upon starting the game. From what I've read of 2.1.20's changelog, there was something about allowing an item to have multiple fuel categories, and this particular change is what's causing this mod to not work. I've used this mod since before Factorio 1.0 was a thing, and I keep using it to this day so that I don't have to return to already established planets as often to move up my mines when they run out.

Mod version: 3.2.11
Game version: 2.1.20
