Issue description
Before Update 2 (during Update 1, latest 0.5.5d), I used to be able to all but 'set and forget' whenever I wanted my excavators to mine a certain area to the desired specifications. E.g. if I wanted my excavators to mine an iron ore or coal vein, it would usually mine whatever rocks and/or dirt it needed to be able to dig the prioritized ore, and almost exclusively mined just those ores from there on out.
Much to my surprise, when starting a new playthrough with Update 2, this behavior no longer seems to exist. Now, I need to explicitly deselect "noise" blocks if I want to make sure the excavator(s) stay on point and mine as expected, as now they insist on clearing everything between the mining tower and their target, and haphazardly at that, ensuring no desired ores actually get dug, with a looming death spiral as a result.
Reproduction steps
- Load TheCrater_U2 savegame
- Head to the coal vein (to the Northwest)
- Observe how the excavator does primarily mine coal as prioritized
- Mark down the whole area of the "Coal Mining" mining tower to be leveling everything to a flat -20
- Observe how the excavator doesn't primarily mine coal as prioritized, instead going off to clear dirt within a few digs
