Low Cost Thruster

Lowers thruster fuel consumption by 20 times and cuts upgrade cost in half by default

Vanilla thrusters are fully hardcoded into the game's binary code.
This is a reimplementation of the Scrap Mechanic survival thrusters in lua,
to allow further modding capabilities, that weren't possible before.

This software serves the purpose of helping scrap mechanic modders to further customize
the game, as well as making quick changes to survival thrusters, to allow further ways of
playing Scrap Mechanic. You are free to use this software for any purpose.

Instructions:
To use this mod in survival, you will need to add the crafting recipe to the craftbot.
All Instructions, including how to add recipes and how to customize the thrusters are found in the mod directory.
To find it, follow these steps:
1. go to Steam settings (top left Steam -> Settings)
2. go to Downloads
3. click on STEAM LIBRARY FOLDERS
4. click on settings icon -> "Browse Folder"
5. open workshop -> content
6. now you should see at least one folder. Go into "387990"
7. here are all your workshop items. Go into "2594525375"
(if you have too many items in here, simply sort by day of change)
8. open readme.txt

How to install mods to survival:
You cannot add mods to survival maps directly. That's why you have to create a normal survival map first and move it too creative. To do that, follow these instructions:
1. open you file explorer and go to your local appdata directory, by clicking on the path bar and type %appdata% and hit enter.
2. go to "Axolot Games" -> "Scrap Mechanic" -> "User"
3. open what ever file you find in here
4. go to Save -> Survival
5. find your map you just created in here
6. move it one directory back, to folder "Save" (cut & paste or drag'n'drop)

These thrusters are made as equally as possible to vanilla thrusters. But they can have differences:
On lower speeds the vanilla thrusters show some strange behavior, I wasn't able to reproduce perfectly, on the other hand, when you have higher speeds, they are pretty much the same.
Thrusters have a visual ground effect, which, due to software limitations with the lua API, I couldn’t reproduce perfectly.

But there are also some bugs with vanilla thrusters, which I fixed in my implementation:
When you save a creation, where some thrusters are hooked up to some logic and a fuel container, one of these connections won't be saved.
When you hook up a Fuel Container to a thruster, the little symbol that indicates, that a fuel container is hooked up, isn't shown.
