Metallic Moons and Automining Platinum
Hi there, love the mod. I recently warped to a high G 'Metallic Moon" and discovered it has plentiful gold, iron and some platinum deposits. I couldn't use my mining drills on the surface, so i check the planet description which states that "there is an impenetrable layer of solid metal which prevents mining deposits with drills or lasers".

This is fine because it states you can use autominers to 'indefinitely' mine iron ore and can also automine platinum deposits (gold is on the soft, molten areas that can be drilled.)
However when i try to place an autominer on the surface I'm told "PlatiOre cannot be automined".
Has anyone else come along this problem?

Seems like the design of the planet didn't take that into account when it made it so drills and lasers can't get through the surface to reach the plat. Unless you drill to the plat from a soft spot maybe? Beneath the impenetrable layer?

I'll have to fix this eventually.
