Hi, foremost thank you for this great mod. The idea is amazing and it's so much QoL improvement.

That said I'm having trouble getting the mod to work as intended. I keep getting warning that there's no accessible path for the excavator to even start. I'm new to the game and right now I'm tasked with mining iron, copper and coal. They are available in mountains surrounding the starting location. The mod seems to want to dig down, and at the edge of the mining zone, I can see they try to go to surface level. However the outlines are still red, so I'm not sure what's causing the issue.

I've uploaded a screenshot to show what I mean. Thank you so much for reading.

Here's another screenshot of a different mine, from slightly ground view. I keep getting the message ramp placed but did not reach surface.

You need to make the area bigger on the tower side, so that there is room for the ramp.

You can also try setting ore filter to e.g LOW or MED and it will dig a bit shallower, consequently leaving more space for ramp.

Or you can make your access ramp by hand, manually.

Good luck and thanks for reporting.
