Mainly worthless but is used to make it easier for other classes to
check if a tile runs without power. Example is in NetworkSharedPower
class were it need to check for to see if it can run power less based
off it network parts.
Should allow networks that extend this to read and write data from there
tiles when its called. Mainly used to store important info in tiles
while merging or splitting a network. However, it is used by
NetworkFluidTiles class in FM for reading/writing fluid volumes to the
tiles.
Though general its a bad idea to control packet handling in a prefab
class i though it be best seeing as most of my machines need a client
update. As well added a generic consume power method that is called per
tick server side.
Fixed a null point crash with getting the block when trying to fill a
tile.
Added: FillTanksAllSides to make it easy for tiles to fill
IFluidHandlers around them
This should remove the need for other networks to have custom split or
merge code just to add a few lines of code. Example was the removal of
the needed for Fluid networks in FM to have custom split/merge code to
add balanceTanks() method.
This should prevent issues with config files generating but will not
prevent Block ID conflict with other mods. However, later i might expand
this to try to pre-register the block and correct its block ID if
something goes wrong.
At first i was going to keep the core as a simple loader but seeing that
need for content out of my DarkMachine mod i merged the two. This will
cause a bit of extra stuff for the player to deal with. However, i did
add configs to disable the ore and ore Items from the mod.
Removed TileEntityElectricMachine and replaced it with the UE
UniversalMachine class
Removed the BC to UE class as it is no longer needed or functional
Added NetworkSharedPower so that tileEntities can share power in a
network allowing things like Electric Fences or battery box grids.
However, it doesn't unloaded power then it is removed so should only be
used for running machines
This was at one point in time the BuildCraft fluid renderer. However, i
have rewrote most of it in order to fix it. BuiltCraft staff is welcome
to take anything from the render code they want.
If runable machine is an instance of INetworkPart it will not drain
power from any tile entity around it that shares the same network to
prevent self powering.
