I like the idea behind this, although it would be nicer if you could require it to be built on ore patches, and would only produce stone plus ores of that kind.

Aren't the recipes overpriced though?

From your picture, 12 concrete plus 3 explosives --> 5.5 stone, 1 iron ore, 1 copper ore, plus 1 coal

The 12 concrete takes 1.2 iron ore plus 12 stone
The 3 explosives take 3 coal plus 3 sulphur <- 4.5 petroleum <- ~5 oil.

So, unless I misread the recipe, this will actually cost you significant stone, some iron, and a lot of coal, and the only net positive is the copper ore?

@vanatteveldt actual recipes differ from these on screeenshots - they yield more and are actually quite interesting alternative to making these far-away train delivered resources ;p

I have 2 questions tho:
1. Are you planing any support for bob resources?
2. How about adding some low-level recipe using wood instead of concrete?

Maud is easily edit the output product recipes (the name of the ore, the amount of output ...)

POlease upgrade this to 13!
