Coal Generator Delivery Fixes

Adds more user control in the coal and wood generators menu and fixes duplicant fuel delivery issues. This makes coal and wood generators more useful prior to automation.

The generators now work like manual generators. Starts when batteries are below a threshold and stops when the batteries are full. No more working generators feeding full battiers.

Two sliders to control thresholds for when to refuel and how much you want to to store. This can be used to prevent frequent deliveries of a few kg.

Works with automation. Connecting an automation wire will make the generator be controlled by the wire instead of the batteries. The slider is then ignored, though refuel sliders still works.

Operational shutdown (full batteries or automation wire) will not stop fuel deliveries. Functional shutdowns like flooding or manually disabling the building will however stop fuel deliveries.

Performance notice: might be slow if it has to check a lot of battiers. However the battery check is skipped entirely when connected to automation and as such shouldn't be an issue for large bases.

Known issues:
The battery slider tooltip says it will deliver coal/wood. No idea if/when I will fix this so I decided to release anyway. It's purely cosmetic, though admittedly confusing.

Turning a generator on appears to lack up to like 2 seconds. Won't fix because it's not worth the time investigating. Also it's likely due to some CPU saving feature in the game, meaning a fix will slow down the game.


Safe to add/remove with existing savegames. However doing so will reset sliders to the default positions.
