Miners not Mining Upon Game load

So when having an additional resource next to uranium ore, if a miner is converted to one of them Gas Guzzling beasties, upon loading a saved world, the miner will not remain mining the secondary resource, and seems to be only capable of mining upon replacing the mining drill.


Edit: ON Second glance, they just stop the moment they would normally acquire a piece of uranium ore. Imo, it might make sense to have them skip the uranium ore if they are not receiving the fluid, and only mine the other resource within it's proximity.

You'll need to mine and re-place the miners to activate them. The additional overhead of checking if any new ore is regenerated and re-activating miners was deemed not worth it for this case.
