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.
There was a small amount of dependency of technic_worldgen on the
technic mod, for configuration loading and the top-level "technic" table.
Resolve that by sharing the configuration and top-level table between the
two mods. This means that technic_worldgen can be loaded before technic,
permitting other mods to depend on it without depending on technic.
Theyre already tiered with Mk1-3 (at least drill is, more in the future).
Tools can be considered as designed for different tiers of circuits thx to their power needs.
For example Mk3 will require ages to load in LV batbox.
Batboxes load tools timining: LV standard (1000EU), MV 4x faster (4000EU), HV 16x faster (16000EU)
Also since 1EU is the same in any circuit it is possible to move energy from one to another with portable devices like crystals.
Other changes:
- moved charge/discharge functions to battery_boxes_commons.lua
- added UI style backgrounds for all the batboxes
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
An electrical network now requires a switching station to work. This statin is the one
resolving the network collecting power and distributing it again.
Added up/down converter. It is kind of finished. It can be updated with a slot for an upgrade
but so far it works without by resolving the types of wires above and below the box.
Tool and machine registering changed to use a table with key+value instead of the iterative method it used to have.
The power radiator changed to be able to send up to 3000MV EUs in a radius of 6.
This update will most likely require existing networks to be dug up and placed again. Also the
switching station must be added.
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.
