Mytharox Matter Energy Mover

Description
Matter Energy Mover

Changes and similarities to the regular Matter Mover.

Changes Last Update:
- Movers can have (smart) multi target mode, that way they beam to multiple targets that need restocking, in a single row, in front of them (as long as they are consecutive, an empty space or blocking block stops the row.)
- In multi target mode, the mover will beam to one of the targets at a time, but will change target destination at each new beam, thus dividing the resources.
- Eco mode is shown on as highlighted text color. (Red, Blue, Green)
- Last item transmitted is show as highlighted text.
- Added Tier 5 & 6 movers, available for a very high build and cost once T4 Power is unlocked.

Note:
This can be handy to feed a row of smelters, spread resources over hopper or to send cutter heads to multiple directions, branching a network. (By having 2 or more other matter movers as destination.)

Same:
- They beam items to targets and can receive items from other Movers.
- There are 4 versions, each one does more items per tick.

Differences
- All ranges are 64 M
- Power per item is 50.
- It can beam through a logistics grommet and through all transparent items like glass or windows without problems.
- Material cost to make a Mover is higher.
- EcoMode is half power per item MatterMitted but also half speed of the transmitter in items per minute.
- UltraEcoMode is 1/10th the power per item, but also 1/10th the speed.
- From Mover to Mover is 10 Power as the matter is already in the pattern buffer, but from Mover to Hopper is full power as it needs to rematerialize the matter.
- It also transfers energy to the Mover it is targeted to, so you don't have to attach each of them to power, only the first Mover.
- It can also compatible with Ore Extractors, so it can transfer energy and heads directly to them if needed (Only if it can send at least 100 power and if the ore extractor has a Cutter head, to prevent extracting too much ore without one .)
- It can also compatible with Ore Smelters, so it can transfer energy and heads directly to them if needed. (So they don't need to reload themselves.)
- The code should be a little less intensive for the server (processor) compared to the original Matter Mover.

Some possible uses:
- Handy for moving ores at early stages to avoid Mynocs, even with very low power it can transfer 15 ores per minute rather easy and with more power it goes much faster.
- Also nice for making a chain of ME Movers to distribute Heads to ore extractors without having to worry about connecting power to each transmitter.
- Late game, having the stronger ME Movers lets you distribute bars or ore and such rapidly throughout the base.

Notes:
This is the first Mod I made that is coded, thanks go to DJ, MadVandal and Steveman as I learned a lot from their code and they delivered great work already.

I'm not quite sure what causes that as it worked fine before, but I could check it out when I play it again, but I am not sure when I will get around to it.

Sorry for the multiples posts but I found a temporary solution, this is because the mod "Large Mass Storage" transform hopper into glass.
Just remove lines:

<TerrainDataEntry>
<Key>StorageHopper</Key>
<isGlass>true</isGlass>
<IsOverride>true</IsOverride>
</TerrainDataEntry>

in the files of the mod here:
\steamapps\workshop\content\254200\1695060590\Xml

And it work!!

I've just tested it myself with a basic version, next to a hopper to take from, some power and a hopper to send to and that seems to work just fine.

Unable to send ressources to hopper, tryed everything
