Pneumatic Transport

by Saienai

Removes all belts and adds pneumatic in/out stations (with built in inserters) that convert any/all items into fluid-like states for transport through pipes. Alternative lore: LIQUIFY EVERYTHING!!!!

Changelog

Version 1.1.7
Date: 2023-10-27
  Fixes:
    - fixed dfs search infinite loop (no longer crashing no start due to mod incompatibilities)
    - rocket silo added to liquify list
    - repair packs added to liquify list
    - se: rocket science pack added to liquify list (as exception - cant find root cause of failure)
	- updated hidden inserter flags (should no longer show up in upgrade screen)
  Changes:
    - set fluid storage in fluidizer/solidifier to 150 (15 items at default settings)
	- added settings to vary recipe & fluid quantities (10/recipe & 10 fluid per item as defaults)
    - added setting to vary hidden inserter stack size (10 default) to be able to edit buffer sizing (global)
    - added 'heavy item' option (1/recipe & 100 fluid per item), currently includes only U235 & rocket silo, but you can add your own (comma delimiter)
  Broken:
    - Still cant figure out why K2SE is causing a bunch of issues (recipes hidden, items not fluidized, etc.) - for now K2SE isnt supported unless either I or someone else figures out whats going on.
  TODO:
    - changing settings (recipe/fluid quantities, hidden inserter stack size) has no impact on already placed entities. Need to add a settings-changed-check & update. For now its recommended to set the settings up and not change them during gameplay

Version: 1.1.6
Date: 2023-07-12
  Fixes:
    - Placement of solidifier/liquifier should now be done correctly with autobuild / nanobots / other script-based-construction
  Changes:
    - Added color to the fluids (@GeggsLegs)
Version: 1.1.5
Date: 2023-07-10
  Fixes:
    - Repair packs & vehicles should now be able to be fluidized
  Changes:
    - Limited the input of fluidizers to 2x recipe (so 20 max instead of original 100)
    - Names changed to 'fluidizer' and 'solidifier' for clarity
  Breaking changes:
    - Input limits may mean that updating an existing save will cause item loss (100->20) in full fluidizers
