[MOD 0.7] Miner Planner
Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2026 9:59 pm
I made a mod that lets you blueprint mining outposts by just dragging across the ore patch!
What it does:
- Scans the ore patch and automatically places miners in optimal positions
- Adds underground belts, power poles, and pipes automatically
- Supports beaconed layouts (with two spacing modes)
- Works with modded ores, drills, and belts (Krastorio 2, Space Exploration, etc.)
- Everything is placed as ghosts, so you can review before building
How to use:
Click the new GUI button (looks like a mining drill) or press Alt + M
Drag across any ore patch
Select your drill type, belt type, pole, etc.
Done! Your bots will build it
The mod is smart about underground belt pairs, pole spacing, and even handles fluid-based ores like uranium. It's been super helpful for my megabase builds.
