The new tool will say whether a target block type is present in a
specified region, to allow for more targeted digging. It is deliberately
quite weak, with several limitations: only stores enough charge for a
small number of shots; target can only be set by pointing at an example
node; range is limited; accuracy is less than 100%. Some of these
limitations should probably be ameliorated, but not entirely eliminated,
in the future when we have a better idea of game balance.
The inventory image is only a placeholder.
The casing is intended to be an ingredient in craft recipes for machines.
It isn't actually used in any recipes yet. Although mainly a craft
item, it is defined as a node type, mainly to get an appropriately cubic
inventory image. It is incidentally possible to place it as a node:
this makes some sense, although the empty machine casing isn't actually
useful as a node.
To support the glooptest mod (successor of gloopores), define the
gloopores lump->dust grinding recipes if either of the mods is available.
(Formerly only "gloopores" was supported.) Define kalite dust item,
which was previously missing. Make gloop ingots grindable to dust as the
non-gloop ingots already are; incidentally refactor this to automatically
make ingots grindable whenever the ingot can be made by cooking dust.
Add textures for all the gloop dusts. Do the "Steel"->"Iron" renaming
for glooptest-defined tools and items.
Override the default mod's iron/steel substance, replacing it with three
metals: wrought iron (pure iron), carbon steel (iron alloyed with a little
carbon), and cast iron (iron alloyed with lots of carbon). Wrought iron
is easiest to refine, then cast iron, and carbon steel the most difficult,
matching the historical progression. Recipes that used default steel are
changed to use one of the three, the choice of alloy for each application
being both somewhat realistic and also matching up with game progression.
The default:steel{_ingot,block} items are identified specifically with
wrought iron. This makes the default refining recipes work appropriately.
Iron-using recipes defined outside technic are thus necessarily
reinterpreted to use wrought iron, which is mostly appropriate.
Some objects are renamed accordingly.
Rather than use the default steel textures for wrought iron, with technic
providing textures for the other two, technic now provides textures for
all three metals. This avoids problems that would occur with texture
packs that provide default_steel_{ingot,block} textures that are not
intended to support this wrought-iron/carbon-steel/cast-iron distinction.
A texture pack can provide a distinct set of three textures specifically
for the situation where this distinction is required.
Incidentally make grinding and alloy cooking recipes work correctly when
ingredients are specified by alias.
Still needs some work. I am pushing it to get ideas and feedback.
Also fix some bugs in the LV coal generator that were found while making
the nuclear reactor.

technic/init.lua
Doing that required some changes to the batteries in that they have new meta data
aligned with the other machines.
I also added a BA type machine in addition to the existing PR and RE types.
This way it is easy to find he batteries on the network.
Added transformers for all voltage tiers.
I changed the recipes for solar panels to make them less expensive.
I also changed the output of the individual panel and made the arrays provie the real "oomph" :-)
Solar panels and arrays are dependent on light level, time of day and height abive ground (0) for output and cheating with torches and stuff.
Textures added.
Fixed bugs in the hv battery box. It was not working at all. I don't understand the hv box top texture though???
I have a sense that all machines connected to the battery boxes are taking the same amount of juice from the box.
A method of taking a little or a lot would be nice.
