Configuration:
To add your own nodes that you want to compress further, you make a table like this:
<modname> = {
	{already_compressed = <how many times your final compression tier has been compressed, 0 if no compression>, node = <your final tier of compression's itemstring>, displayname = <the node's original display name>},
	{already_compressed = <repeat>, node = <repeat>, displayname = <repeat>},
	.
	.
	<for every node you want compressed>
},
and append it to the to_compress table in the Config section.
