Treat all API mods as a "layer", and use the new
nc_api_all registration to indicate that a mod depends
on the NC API (which ALL NC mods assume they do).
This means that each non-API mod does not need to
worry about which API mods it really needs and which
it does not, nor will they need to be updated for any
internal API restructures.
This is a game, not a modpack, so all mods will be
loaded anyway, and we only care about order. That
means that we don't really need to worry about
having excess dependencies because any mod we
don't actually need will be needed by something that's
loaded anyway. If somebody wants to reuse a
component elsewhere, they're likely to need to do
some work to untangle it anyway, because of the
amount that NodeCore mechanics interact and
interdepend.
This created a ton of dependency inversions, which
necessitated moving a number of API functions up into
higher layers, and restructuring dependency lists for
a number of mods.
BOLO: non-deterministic load errors due to missed
dependencies.
AISM's now tick against stacks, including in piles, shelves,
and player inventories, (hopefully) efficiently compared to
the old way with separate ABMs. Item entity support is also
possible, but not necessary yet.
This started out as a bugfix for being able to put a torch inside a
shelf, which didn't make much sense gameplay-wise. It ended up
going quite a bit further.
- Aggregate now gets wet in stack form. Swimming with dry
concrete now has consequences.
- Lux reactions, radiation, and infusion should now behave more
consistently.
- Sponges can now wet or dry in stack form, including inside
containers.
- Torch ignition, quenching, and extinguishing is now more
consistent regardless of context, and torches are now more
dangerous, and can ignite things in more contexts.
- Collapse all nodecore "core" mods in the /mods listing, so it's
easier to find the actual add-on mods.
- Parameterize in-game branding to make renaming derivatives just
a little easier.
Bash gravel down into ash to produce dry aggregate.
Dampen the aggregate to produce wet aggregate. The ash chemically
reacts with gravel to produce a cement.
Let the wet aggregate dry and it will cure into smooth-stone.
It will tend to flow and wander if left uncontained though.
