DHI Glowgines (glowing blocks engine thrusters)

Technical summary
This mod is a unification of:

and
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1680903490

special thanks to Firstofficered for his help and pushing me to redo the code from scratch.

the credit goes original authors of the mods stated above, as such I do not own any of the resources (models and textures) with exception of the code which I had rewritten for the mod to load a bit faster and be easier to edit for future use.

this mod takes already great glowing blocks and adds to the blocks new function now they are engines with the stats of original star trek impulse engines.

For those who don't like them as engines, i made an alternative version where they are batteries.

please use with following mods to ensure proper work as all the blocks thrust goes in Forward direction:

and
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=514062285&searchtext=build

the stats are
Large block
<ForceMagnitude>3000000</ForceMagnitude>
and cost
<Component Subtype="SteelPlate" Count="85" />
<Component Subtype="Construction" Count="55" />
<Component Subtype="LargeTube" Count="30" />
<Component Subtype="Superconductor" Count="300" />
<Component Subtype="Thrust" Count="200" />
<Component Subtype="Computer" Count="20" />
<Component Subtype="InteriorPlate" Count="50" />
Small blocks
<ForceMagnitude>100000</ForceMagnitude>
and cost
<Component Subtype="SteelPlate" Count="35" />
<Component Subtype="Construction" Count="15" />
<Component Subtype="LargeTube" Count="10" />
<Component Subtype="Superconductor" Count="30" />
<Component Subtype="Thrust" Count="20" />
<Component Subtype="Computer" Count="10" />
<Component Subtype="InteriorPlate" Count="25" />

The engines have 50% effectivity in the atmosphere.

as the Engines does not have any flame effect and the particle settings are 0 the impact on performance should be minimal (compared to star trek impulse engines at last as with these when you have too many your fps goes down as hell but I still love the mod but will use it only for decoration on smaller ships)

all blocks are recolourable as they are in the original mod.

Known issues: for to me unknown reason the textures sometimes don't load and blocks appear pitch black, but there are no issues with them (as in original mod they appear normally)(it might just be my computer or the fact it's still local copy or the fact original mod is cubeblock definition and not thrust definition which engines use).

If any skilled modder wants to revision the code please contact me as I want to learn more to create better mods.

also, there might appear some mirroring issue but i had tried my best hope it's ok.

Reason of the high cost: balancing
Reason of high atmosphere effectivity: will be stated in the story description

Story description
DHI Experimental propulsion engine system a.k.a. DHI Glowgines

This propulsion system absorbs the light rays of various wavelengths and stores the energy in itself to later use it for creation of small wave effect which is used to propel the ship this effect is invisible to the naked eye of the onlooker. Excessive energy that the system cannot absorb appears in the form of the small film around the propulsion system which lasts even after shutting the system down. The phenomena have been found desirable perk as it was found the colour of the film could be influenced by setting the system to different wavelengths while not changing the system power efficiency it made the system more appealing to use and also contributed to the final naming of this system. The DHI GLOWGINES

While the "THE Glowgines" can be created from normal materials the sheer amount of resources to create even one can prove difficult for mass production or singular user, as such it is recommended to be used only on heavy flagships that desire strong propulsion to increase their effectiveness in both combat and normal space travel as their raw power/influence to surrounding area is unmatched in space while in atmosphere its efficiency is only 50% caused by the light-bending effect of the atmospheric gasses

This concludes the briefing of project "Glowgines" development.
