Nova Mekanism

Added

• Assembly Line (3×4×8) and Research Station (3×3×3), modelled on GregTech's: scan a sample part plus a blank data orb into research data, install that data in the assembly line's module slot, and it unlocks the recipes gated behind it — the fusion reactor and void ore miner controllers (both moved off the crafting grid), bulk superconductors and the trans-dimensional circuit.
• Ars Nouveau integration — a Grand Imbuement Chamber (3×3×3) running imbuement 16 at a time, plus source-charging for superconductors. The construction terminal is forged in the enchanting apparatus and the data orb uses source gems when Ars is present.

Changed — modpack readiness

• AE2, Botania, MEGA Cells, Draconic Evolution and Ars Nouveau are now OPTIONAL dependencies. Six items that previously only had a modded recipe (annihilation casing, LHC controller, collider magnet, void drill, construction terminal, data orb) gained workbench fallbacks, so the progression is completable with Mekanism alone.
• New [integration] config: hardenMekanismRecipes turns off the bundled Mekanism recipe nerfs entirely, and [integration.ore_generation] switches each of the nine ores off individually (via a config-aware biome modifier) for packs that already cover them.
• Complete Forge tags: forge:ores/* for all nine ores (+ deepslate), forge:raw_materials/*, and the umbrella forge:ores / forge:raw_materials tags, so recipe unifiers and other mods see our materials.
• The Gas-Burning Generator now unlocks at cupronickel + advanced circuits (was titanium + elite), moving it one step earlier.
• Assembly line and circuit assembly line structures rebuilt to match the GTCEu / GTNH originals (grate roofs, assembly arms, laminated glass).

Fixed

• 22 blocks dropped nothing when mined — every block added since 1.0.3 was missing from minecraft:mineable/pickaxe while using requiresCorrectToolForDrops(). Tags are now generated from the registry so they cannot drift again.
• The machine GUI now shows the structure validator's message, with the offending block's coordinates, instead of a bare "NOT FORMED"; bars gained value tooltips.
• GUI/JEI overlaps: the progress arrow no longer sits under the output slots, recipe energy text no longer runs under the output column, and the structure preview is clipped into its own box so it cannot cover the bill of materials in any recipe viewer.
• Ingot, dust and raw-ore textures redrawn in Mekanism's visual language; casing textures gained metal grain and directional shading.
