The design outlined in [[Burner_mining_drill#Method_2]] can result in the northern burner inserters becoming coal-starved to the point that they have to be refueled manually. Perhaps we should warn new players about it, lest they copy the design as-is and become perplexed when it doesn't work as well as they expected.

Mining speed and output

The info box is wrong, the mining speed is 0.35,no unit (or items, although not releant). items/sec would express an output, and 0.35 items/sec is definitely not the output of burner drills. The output of a fully powered burner drill on copper, iron and coal is 0.28, would be twice as small for uranium, and greater for stone (0.3675 items/sec) as shown here : https://wiki.factorio.com/Mining. I don't know how to edit the infobox so can't make the change, if someone can integrate these information, it would be great.

Caveats re: self-sustaining mines w/ burner inserters

The design outlined in Burner_mining_drill#Method_2 can result in the northern burner inserters becoming coal-starved to the point that they have to be refueled manually. Perhaps we should warn new players about it, lest they copy the design as-is and become perplexed when it doesn't work as well as they expected.
