Mechs Don't Create Wastepacks

This mod aims to make getting steel and plasteel less tedious.

With this installed, Deep Drills now function just like workbenches. You can place them anywhere and add bills to decide which resource to mine.

There are two recipes:
Mine Steel (Requires mining level 3)
Mine Plasteel (Requires mining level 8)

Do I still need to scan for resources?
No. The ground-penetrating scanner is no longer needed, so I completely removed it. The long range mineral scanner is untouched.

Do drills now use the crafting skill?
No, deep drills will continue to use your mining skill and give mining exp.

Do drills still trigger infestations?
No.

What about gold/uranium/silver/etc?
I intentionally left those resources out to keep them rare - you'll have to find another way to acquire them! ;)

I made this mod for fun, and I don't expect any form of compensation for it.
