Uranium enrichment via centrifuge
Replacing the extractor-based system, uranium to be used as reactor fuel
must now be enriched in stages using the centrifuge. Uranium metal can
exist at 36 levels of fissile content, from 0.0% to 3.5% in steps of 0.1%.
One round of centrifuging splits two dust of a particular grade in to one
dust each of the two neighbouring grades. Uranium of each grade can exist
as dust, ingot, and block, with all the regular metal processes to convert
between them. Uranium from ore exists in lump form, and is 0.7% fissle.
The blocks are radioactive to a degree dependent on fissile content.
Thus the chemical refinement and processing of uranium now follows the
standard pattern for metals, and is orthogonal to isotopic enrichment.
Each form of uranium (dust, ingot, block) intentionally looks identical
regardless of fissile grade.
If technic_worldgen is used alone, it defines only one grade of uranium
(as before), but defines it in the regular metal pattern, with lump, ingot
produced by cooking lump, and block crafted from ingots. It identifies
the metal only as "uranium". The multiple grades of uranium are defined
by the technic mod, which identifies each grade as "N.N%-fissile
uranium". The single grade that was registered by technic_worldgen
is redefined to be described specifically as "0.7%-fissile uranium".
For the redefinition to work, technic_worldgen must load before technic,
so technic now declares a dependency on technic_worldgen.
Each fuel rod is made from five 3.5%-fissile ingots, each of which in
turn requires one to start with five 0.7%-fissile dust, so each fuel rod
is now derived from 12.5 uranium lumps (or 25 if the lumps were first
cooked rather than being ground). This replaces the 20 lumps required
by the former recipes. After setting up and priming the centrifuge
cascade, enriching a full set of fuel for the reactor (six fuel rods)
takes 14700 centrifuge operations. It's intended to be a practical
necessity to automate the centrifuge. In the absence of EU upgrades
for the centrifuges, these operations consume 5.88e8 EU, about 0.97%
of the 6.048e10 EU that the fuel set will produce in the reactor.
The intent is that, in this respect as in others, operating a reactor
should carry a very high up-front cost, but ultimately be very profitable.

look at whether the structure is damaged at all: it looks at how damaged
it is, counting the number of faulty nodes. The amount of damage is
integrated over time, and the grace period is actually 100 node-seconds,
so greater damage causes meltdown more quickly. If the active core is
dug then it melts down immediately, preventing the tactic of digging
the core to avert meltdown.

technic_run callback, so that it applies even when the reactor is not

Better reactor meltdown
Reactor `explosion' now replaces the reactor core with a corium source

It also randomly turns into a solid form, chernobylite, which makes an
attractive building block. It thus gradually melts its way through the
reactor shielding layers; a meltdown gets worse over time if not cleaned
up promptly.
The mechanism for an active reactor core to damage nearby players is
generalised into a "radioactive" node group. Corium and chernobylite
are radioactive, to varying degrees. Players receive a varying amount of
damage from a radioactive node, depending on proximity. Staying outside
a reactor cube is sufficient to be safe from the active core, but not
sufficient to be safe from a melted core.

will respond to mesecon signals: ignore them, obey them positively,
or obey them negatively.
The manual control could have been incorporated into this mode setting
by having two "ignore mesecon" modes: always-enabled and always-disabled.
But it seems more useful to have a separate manual master switch, so that
the emitter can be manually disabled without losing the mesecon mode.

Better forcefield control dialog
The size configuration is no longer cleared when exiting the dialog with
<esc>. The enable/disable toggle button now indicates the current state.
The name of the toggle button now varies according to state, so that
pressing the button multiple times in one state (which can arise due
to lag making the user unsure about whether the first press registered)
only makes the state change that the user requested, rather than toggling
repeatedly.

Reduce mithril chest to gold chest size
Due to concerns about form appearance, reduce mithril chest size to avoid
its form exceeding screen height. This reduces it to the same size as
the gold chest. Having two chest types of the same size looks silly now,
but will be reasonable as soon as mithril chests get their long-planned
special features.

Buff chest sizes
Make the inventory sizes of all the technic chests larger, to provide
a more appreciable benefit from upgrading chests, more in keeping with
the resources spent on the upgrades.
Currently the game engine doesn't handle large forms well. The size
of an inventory slot is fixed relative to the screen height, and a
form that exceeds either screen dimension will extend off the screen,
making parts of it inaccessible. The tallest a form can get and remain
usable is 13 slots, and even that slightly overspills the screen height.
The maximum usable width depends on the screen aspect ratio. For the
narrowest common ratio, 5:4, the widest a form can usably get is 15 slots,
again slightly overspilling. Combined with the layout of the chest forms,
this implies a maximum practical chest inventory size of 15x7 (= 105),
slightly smaller than the largest Minecraft chests.
To provide roughly equal size steps in the five upgrades from wooden
chest (staying at 8x4 = 32) to mithril chest, the steps need to be of
about 15 slots instead of the former 4. The new sizes are:
wooden 8x4 32
iron 9x5 45
copper 12x5 60
silver 12x6 72
gold 15x6 90
mithril 15x7 105
To make upgrading from the old chest sizes to the new sizes more
convenient, the inventory size is now set not only upon chest construction
but also when accepting form input, at the same time as rewriting
the formspec. So after upgrading the technic mod, viewing an existing
chest upgrades it to the new size. The first time a pre-existing chest
is viewed its form will have the old dimensions, looking broken due
to the inventory background image now having the new number of slots.
The second time it is viewed the form will have the new dimensions,
and the full new number of slots will be usable.

Handle lag better in drill
If a mining drill is apparently applied to a non-pointable node, do
nothing rather than drilling as normal. This situation usually arises
from lag, where the news of a node having been drilled didn't reach the
user quickly enough and the user thereby applied the drill twice to the
same node. The second drill attempt would formerly consume charge and
then find that all the nodes it wanted to dig had already been removed.

Rationalise machine terminology
All electrically-powered machines now consistently indicate their
tier (supply voltage) in their names. As this implies that they are
electrically powered, the furnaces no longer have "Electric" in their
names. The fuel-fired equivalents of electric machines, which exist
for alloy furnace and furnace, now say "Fuel-Fired" to distinguish them.
(The fuel-fired alloy furnace used to say "Coal", which was inaccurate
because it uses any fuel. The fuel-fired furnace, from the default mod,
used to just be called "Furnace", which is ambiguous.)
Electric power generators now consistently indicate their tier and have
the word "Generator" in their names. This makes their purpose much
clearer, and makes obvious craft guide searches produce useful results.
The fuel-fired generators, previously just (ambiguously) called
"Generator", are now explicitly "Fuel-Fired".
