Magic "Pipes"

[klikli-dev]

• Lore: Short-distance teleport is possible via "mercury crystals" that temporarily shift an object into its mercury form.
  • this mercury is unstable and reverts back to the object soon
  • to get mercury usable as energy source or for recombination, you need to distill the item to purify
• Filtering (maybe create-style with a re-usable filter item to have only one gui?)
• Select input/output sides (maybe with wrench - look at and ctrl+scroll, similar to create wrench scroll mechanic)
  • visual indicator?
• not actually pipes "items via wire"
• should not just be wires.. ideally some sort of short-distance teleport system for the part that interacts with blocks, with e.g. 3 blocks range. Link to target block by shift-clicking the block before placing.
  • wires then used as backend for connecting these interaction blocks
• higher tier "backend connections" that are basically remote connections with limited range (or even higher tier -> unlimited range & across dimensions)
• Higher tier interaction block that can handle multiple input/output inventories -> mechanic of the create arm is pretty nice to configure & use
  • maybe also an interaction block that does not use the pipe system and just moves between inventories? something to think about
  • should have a moving element that "looks" at the inventory it currently interacts with then shoots a particle
• capability forwarder block - link a target block + a side, and all sides of that block act like the target side
  • heat capability needs to be changed to consume energy / or excluded and use the existing heat emitter system
