Mcheli Overdrive

Changes

• Ported the vehicle-focused metallurgy system from Xenofactions into MCHeli.

  • Added the coal-fired Blast Furnace for producing steel from iron and carbon.
  • Added the Steel Foundry for melting steel and casting vehicle components.
  • Both machines use dedicated multiblock structures, inventories, GUIs, persistent processing state, and optional NEI integration.

• Ported seven Xenofactions vehicle-part casts into MCHeli:

  • Grate — 3 steel
  • Large Spring — 3 steel
  • Light Armor Plate — 5 steel
  • Light Ship Hull — 15 steel
  • Basic Mechanic Parts — 4 steel
  • Rims — 3 steel
  • Track Piece — 2 steel
  • These parts are now produced through reusable foundry casts instead of direct crafting shortcuts.

• Ported the original Xenofactions metallurgy machine visuals.

  • Includes the full Blast Furnace and Steel Foundry models.
  • Includes furnace material fill, moving foundry crucible, molten-steel pouring, and full multiblock-sized rendering.

• Added proper external material compatibility.

  • MCHeli now accepts legitimate aluminum, steel, depleted uranium, and other supported materials from compatible mods without exposing its own fallback materials as generic progression substitutes.
  • When RTM or HBM is installed, those mods retain ownership of aluminum, steel, and depleted uranium production.

• Added support for bulk petroleum-based vehicle fuel.

  • Compatible processed petroleum fuels can now be used as high-volume MCHeli fuel sources.
  • Fuel value accounts for energy, grade, and container volume.
  • Supports portable fuel containers and finite gas-pump cargo.
  • Surplus fuel is retained and empty containers are returned.

• Improved fuel-can handling.

  • Matching fuel cans can stack up to 16.
  • Partial fuel amounts persist correctly.
  • Refilling or equipping uses one can from a stack as needed.
  • Added an iron-only recipe for empty fuel cans.
  • Existing coal-based fuel remains available where compatible.

• Removed progression-bypassing material routes when external tech mods provide the real production chain.

  • MCHeli no longer provides alternate aluminum, steel, or depleted uranium production when RTM/HBM is responsible for those materials.
  • Standalone installations retain MCHeli's normal material production.

• Updated material, fuel, metallurgy, and compatibility documentation.
