[2020] Mining Drone Mod Questions

Original Post — Direct link

Does anyone have experience with it? I'm playing around with it and I think it'd kinda work for that "transition from main bus to train bus" so I don't have to lay down fields of mining tiles but I don't have a good feel for how many drones are needed per platform and how many belts a platform can support.

Anyone got a better feel for the numbers they wouldn't mind sharing?

Most people just throw in 100 drones and call it good enough, with stack inserters you can get maybe 2 red belts out of 1 depot.

With loaders you can extract a lot more.

You can also load directly from the depots into cargo wagons, which saves on extra belts.
