Better Resource Distribution

Have the bugs below been fixed? I have an issue where drones cannot unload a specific resource (seems to be any random type) at a specific resource depot (universal depot, or train station and even had one occurrence where they would not load a rocket). Drones will pick up a resource (from a producer) and the move to deliver it, but they won’t unload it into the depot; they will just stand beside the depot with the resource still being carried. When I try to manually unload the resource they don’t seem to register that the depot can receive that type of resource. If I delete the depot where the error is occurring and rebuild it it seems that then the error will then occur at a different depot. When I disable this mod it clears things up.

I'm also not sure it works on existing train stations. I disabled the mod and re-enabled, but now resources aren't being distributed from the train station to nearby storages that are empty, while jamming up the train network which can't unload anymore into the storage

I have the same bug as Iolic_lol, though it seems to be that with this mod drones still take waste rock from producers, any that ends up on the floor is ignored.

Unfortunately the mod is bugged for me.
When this mod is installed, drones almost completely ignore waste rock.
All dumping sites are half empty, the mines are working intermittently due to the overflow of the stone storage. Dozens of heaps of stone form around the mines and water extractors.
After disabling the mod, the drones quickly take this garbage to the storages (but the dumping site needs to be rebuilt to make it work at full capacity).

Thanks. How do I find the log and save and send them?

I checked a bit and I think I may have some clues, looking into it

Spoke too soon. Disabled 2 newest train mods and then oldest 2. Without the 2 or 4 train mods many drones would "dance." Carrying loads they would just dance around a location. Would take fuel into the rocket and come right back out with it, a circle of dozens. Maybe because I was still trying to use a saved game. (First failures were a new game after adding the two mods but tried using same game after removing them.) They loaded and unloaded a new rocket fine. So will try a new game without the train mods. Sorry that I can't be more specific. If there is something I should try or tell you, let me know. I reallky appreciate your creating the trains and work to improve them.

Can you send me your log and save?

Added this and drones just stood around. They gathered items and moved to edge of landing pad, next to depots, next to stations and then stopped. Would not load or unload ships. Disabled this mod and they are working again.
