In this video I'm showing off my new ore vein mining operation, which has some cool animations. It's a late game (or at least later game) method of resource gathering, specifically to mine telluxite which cannot be mined in the way I've been mining other resources.
Also in this video I give a little look at the data collection and processing system in the game. Machines can be linked with data cables, for instance a storage building can broadcast what it contains and how much so that production machines can decide when to start and stop to keep a certain level of supply.
