changedMining droids will now haul asteroids to salvage depots (if selected to be salvaged). Asteroid fields can also be selected and set to be salvaged, so that all asteroids from that field will automatically be gathered (when there are free salvage depots, in range of mining lasers). This is similar to the previous update with scrap fields, so now consistent and you can now have asteroid/scrap resource collection to be automatic.
