Try to make sure doors don't have to wait arbitrarily long
for a patrol ABM to fire if their DNT was lost and they're
part of a stable circuit. This seems to have caused some
sponge squeezers in particularly busy areas to stop for a
while when first loaded sometimes, which can interrupt
the water flow they provide, which can lead to a fire
hazard.
The old logic was extremely over-complicated, in
an attempt to allow door conveyance to work with
no gaps and support loops. This led to code that
was unmaintainable, and a node deletion bug that
was too difficult to fix.
The drawback to the new approach is that things
cannot be pushed by doors into spaces that are
occupied by another thing, even if that thing will
be pushed out of the way by the doors on the same
cycle. This means that chains of items on
conveyors will always have an air-gap between
them.
Hints themselves have not been tided up
much, but this makes the project of fixing the
hints for each mod a little more manageable
and breaks up the hard-to-navigate single
monolithic hints file in the old guide mod.
The old guide mod has now been completely
retired. Hints are now a full-fledged API-layer
standard feature.
There are other situations where we right-click on things and
expect a non-placement action, and that action fails. We should
probably be more consistent about not placing in these cases, as
players may be surprised by it, and be left in trouble due to
not having a tool to dig it back up. Requiring sneak is safer.
Now technically shelves violate this principle, but their
violation is much narrower in scope, i.e. only placement of
containers.
This reverts commit 4795a63116782fe47e72847dd308468a345b9369.
Falling nodes themselves are too unstable, so players should not
be encouraged to build machines that perpetually put nodes into
that state and destabilize the game. Testing has led to some node
duplication exploits.
Leave the door operatoin rate nerf in place, though, since it will
help keep a lid on traffic.
- 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.
Shockingly it WORKS.
Does not yet interact reasonably with a lot of terrain (should
arguably push liquids, falling nodes, items, etc.) or entities
a(i.e. should arguably push players).
