Mining stone when it is turned off
I am running on a dedicated server and when I mine something, it will mine the stone first and then it will mine the ore. Unfortunately, the stone is invisible. The stone still shows up in the list of materials it sees.

It used to be that if you had a material turned off, even when scanning, it would not "see" that material and would mine it with no issue. Something changed a while back and the updated version I am running has this bug.

Anyway to fix the issue? Might there be a conflict with another mod that is causing this? I am just trying to troubleshoot my way through the setup to correct this issue.

Thanks! And I love the mod.

Unfortunately, this problem exists even when only one mod is enabled. How to deal with this problem, I have not found anywhere.

also seeing this error. A work around I use is a conveyor sorter and black list stone and toss through a connector.

yup. I hate that though. So, I went and now the mods I have will turn stone into gravel and some basic materials, then I have a gravel sifter to sift the gravel for smidgens of all of the resources. I get a couple of containers full of stone in addition to what I was mining, but when I am offline, it gets converted to resources...no matter how sparse they are. *shrugs* better something than nothing.

Change your work modes to COLLECT not drill, if drill is selected it will strip mine everything reguardless of what is selected.

If you set it to collect mode it will only mine what is enabled in your drill config.

You're welcome.

BTW this issue is also answered in the FAQ that is pinned if you would simply read it.

Disabled ore is still drilled
Will it still clear the ore out that is disabled in 'Drill Priority'?
Check which 'WorkMode' you have selected:
Drill: In that case it drills/cut out all materials that are inside the area. Disabled materials are still cut out but not collected and instead spawned. (Make sure you have excluded the unwanted materrial also from the separate "collect floating object" option, otherwise it will be still collected in a second step)

Collect: In that case it collects onyl enabled materials that are inside the area and ignores disabled materials. (Selective drilling)
