Feature request: Beacons #8

I like to have prod3 in my drills and augment them with a bunch of beacons with speed3 in them. I've attached an example blueprint. Having an option to place beacons around the drills would be awesome :)

I don't see any blueprint attached.

In the meantime, you can't place beacons with mining drills without missing some of the ore, so this sounds like something that would only work well with modded, which I'm worried about focussing on while vanilla still needs work :P

Huh, I could've sworn I attached a txt file. I can try to upload it again when I'm home, but in the meantime: http://i.imgur.com/lOJXpAA.png

Yeah, it misses some of the ore, but it still gets you more ore (and faster) than without the modules and beacons. And you can always move the whole thing by a bit if you absolutely want to get all the ore :)
