Patched mine laying

Does anyone thing that changes made to mine laying on the game screen by the Last patch are not good. I like having the ability to drop as many mines as I want on the game screen.
Can someone tell me how to change it back to the way it was before the patch was installed.

I don't think you can change it

The "Lay Mines" power now uses both values, not just the first. The first is still the number of mines you can lay each COMBAT turn, the second is now the number of mines you can lay each STRATEGIC turn. So, just edit your components.txt file and change the second value for each mine layer to whatever you want. 99, maybe?

I don't know if there's a hardcoded limit. I set my level I/II/III mine layers to 5/10/15 per turn each and that's plenty for my uses.
