Resource Cables (Main Branch)

Revamp of 'Resource Cables (Main Branch)' by Marajin, his became outdated. Originally by ReIterated.

Adds the following items:

Resource Sockets - These have a maximum storage of 10 units and connect vertically. They are intended for use with the inputs and outputs of the refinery but can be used in any resource socket. It's not recommended to use them with the 3D printer sockets as these are recessed and it can be very difficult to get them out again.

Short Socketed Barrels - About half the height of a standard resource barrel, these are a cheaper and more compact way to access the abilities of resource cables. They have horizontal resource cable connections.

Socketed Resource Barrels - The full height resource barrels with a horizontal resource cable connector. These have a slightly larger capacity than standard barrels (150 units).

25m Resource Cable Spool - A spool containing 5 x 5m long resource cables. Functions identically to the power cables spool.

50m Resource Cable Spool - A spool containing 5 x 10m long resource cables. Functions identically to the power cables spool.

Outpost Resource Socket Wall - A standard 1x1 outpost wall with an inbuilt storage for 200 units of resource and connectors for cables on both the internal and external sides. These are particularly useful for connecting external O2/CO2/N2 tanks to the outpost for life support purposes, but you can use them for any resource. Perhaps if you wish to move part of your infrastructure inside the pressurized outpost.

How to get working connections:

Resource cables are identical to the power cables of the vanilla game, however they carry resources instead of power. They must be correctly connected in the direction you wish resources to flow. The sockets on either end of a cable are marked with a coloured band, either Green or Red. Resources will enter the green end of a cable and exit at the Red end of a cable.

Fixed:

Supports the main branch version of the game as of 26th February 2018.

The spamming duplicated item spawns on 3D Printers should be gone now hopefully.

Outpost resource walls now atmospherically seal correctly. Thanks to Mr Monochrome for spotting the issue!

Added:

Socketted Resource Barrels & Resource Sockets may be emptied by holding the E key like vanilla resource barrels.

Changed:

Lowered the mass of the 50m resource cable spool. It's still weighty but it can be lifted off the ground now.

Known issues:

Very peculiar things can happen when hooking up the MDV's tanks via resource cables. This doesn't seem to occur with all other forms of tanks and links!
