Description
So what does it do?

It allows small grid conveyors to pass any and all (vanilla and DLC) items or ammo through them.
This type of mod has been done many times before but none of them seemed to be current. I admit my search was not exhaustive when I looked.

This one is current at the time of its posting and includes any new items or ammo added to vanilla game and by DLC.

This mod changes the item sizes recognized by the games small grid conveyor system, it does not change the conveyors themselves but rather all the items that can pass through them. There are many that will not flow through small grid conveyors in the vanilla game and its DLCs. Large steel tubes, small steel tubes, steel plates, medical components, hand drills, for just a few examples.
I have gone through the files (listed below) and attempted to change the coded sizes of these items from their original values to a value that will pass through the small conveyors.

Only the code was changed to allow the items to pass through, not the physical in-game items themselves.

I took some extra time going through each of the related files to find the newest additions to ammo and items and made them also capable of flowing through small grid conveyors. If I missed any that you think should be added, please let me know and I will see what I can do.

Note: This mod is just a code edit to allow previously disallowed items to pass through small grid conveyors, it does not add any new items or new conveyors and only affects vanilla and DLC items and ammo. If you use any mods that change vanilla or DLC items or ammo, then this mod will likely be incompatible with it. One will overwrite the changes of the other depending on load order.
For example, I use the Colorful Icons mod, I load it below this one in my load order and get the best of both.

Files changed:
AmmoMagazines.sbc
Components.sbc
PhysicalItems.sbc
PhysicalItems_Economy.sbc


As a bonus, the health regeneration rates of both Clang Cola and Cosmic Coffee were both increased and will now regenerate the same amount of health as a med-kit. Always nice to have options!

If anyone is interested, I made a mod similar to this, but script based so it's compatible even with modded components, ammo and items : https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2840848427

Does this also work for small and large conveyor ports on large and small cargo containers for the small grid?

Can you also make it so that small grid conveyor frames do the same thing? And the build and repair machines? It would be great if the small grid versions could act like conveyors. https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=857053359&searchtext=build+and+repair

Added this to my MP server as a much needed QoL that the base game should have. Thanks for your work on this!
