Minetest game's doors mod was known to cause server errors when passed a nil digger in it's can_dig callback,
due to always attempting to invoke digger:get_player_name().
Fix this by providing a basic fake player which provides this method to can_dig callbacks.
(It should be noted that currently this fix causes doors to be undiggable by quarries.)
delete back/bottom texture for power monitor
use "machine bottom" for bottom of force field generator
add cable connection overlay, use it on various machines' bottoms/sides, as appropriate
Adds a cache to the quarry in order to reduce load and send larger stacks through pipes instead of just single items. Coin tossing ensures the cache gets purged around every 200 seconds. The interval isn't fixed in order to prevent material spikes from multiple quarries which got loaded simultaneously. When the cache is full, or the quarry finished, it is purged too.
Don't load the whole digging area when only a small piece is relevant.
Also, move the (time expensive) check whether the air above a block is free to the last position, which spares unneccessary checks when multiple quarries are placed together, or a quarry has to loop over air for another reason.
The quarry used to get stuck when it encountered an undiggable node.
Change it to skip past that node, digging whatever later stuff it can.
Necessarily, the current digging position becomes semantically-significant
state: it is no longer sufficient to search the quarry cuboid from the top
on each iteration. The current digging height is reported in the quarry's
interaction form, and can be reset to the top using a button on the form.
Where there is a non-air node within the quarry directly above the
next node to dig, it blocks the quarry's access to that node, even if
everything involved is diggable. Thus an undiggable node casts a shadow
of undug nodes below it. Resolving undiggability of a node is a major
reason to use the restart button.
The new API function is now renamed to pipeworks.tube_inject_item(),
so use it under that name. If it is not available, synthesise the new
API in terms of the old one.
