Tunnelers ARE deep drills

Description
Basically, this mod makes it so that tunnelers will go out and drill at any scanned veins on the map if there are no stones or ores marked for mining on said map. They do not need the actual deep drill building, they’ll just go up to the closest drillable cell and start mining/drilling.

It was originally a part of yet another mech upgrades mod that I was making, but I’ve decided to put it on pause for the time being cuz I’ve been juggling too many mod projects at once… but I just had to release this as a standalone thing cuz it’s honestly my favorite part of that mod.

@MrKociak
Very nice mod! Could you add support to Mechanoids: Total Warfare and Glitterworld Destroyer 5 Expansion?

Could you add an option to choose which resources to mine? (similar like how you choose what to scan), and with an option of "any".

Thanks!

This is a mod I didn't know I needed but now is in the "permanent QOL" section of my modlist.

@Reeva! It's likely the game version that's the issue, things seem to be working on my end at 1.6

I'm on v1.5 and my mechs are drilling, they're trying to drill Cinnabar from another mod but nothing's coming out, he's been there for a few days before I noticed.

Can they drill modded minerals or is it because I'm on v1.5?

edit: put him on Uranium too but nothing's coming out still.

@MrKociak Ashreon.EnhancedMechanoids sorry, I completely forgot that's a requirement too.

I wanted to ask if it would be possible to make the mining speed of tunnelers actually affect their deep drilling speed?
Right now I’m using the Ultratech Tunneler (from Tiered Mechs), and while it works great thanks to your mod, it still mines very slowly compared to its tech level (It has 360% Mining Speed). It feels a bit limiting in terms of resource generation, especially considering how much stronger and more advanced it is supposed to be.

Do you think it would be possible to tie the tunneler’s mining speed stat into the drilling speed?
Thank you for your mod, it's awesome 👍
