A bit of survival nerfing

Make sure the the indicated addon is below this one on the mod list!

This addon to Peaceman's 'Steam Engines' mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1552483203 introduces a more powerful second tier of small grid engines. These engines are 2x more powerful at the cost of 1.5x increase in fuel consumption. They also require a new material: reforged steel (provided by the dependency mod). The addon makes furthermore several game enhancements. They are:
1. The tier 2 'Advanced' engines themselves.
2. The research quest for the original (tier 1) engines (also unlocked by masters tools).
3. The research for tier 2 itself, unlocked by tier 1 and the reforged steel.
4. The possibility of upgrading (forge) the engines to larger ones as well as between the tiers.

Enjoy!!!

This is just a tiny addon to Peaceman's steam engines mod, heavily relying on its resources. I would like to thank Peaceman for the creation of these engines as they proved to enrich the gameplay beyond measure!

Disclaimer: This is essentially an sbc tweak which links to the models and icons of the original mod.

---- Update 20.10.2019 ----
Increased the mass of the drive shafts of the tier 2 engines to improve stability. It is now 165, 350 and 500 kg for small, large and huge engines respectively. This was necessary in order to prevent the shafts being displaced at high RPM. Power of the engines is unaffected.

Warning: Unfortunately (due to subpart ID change) the Tier2 engines in world and in blueprints have to be repasted/rebuilt. I apologise for the inconvenience but it was necessary.

---- Update 26.10.2019 ----
Visual update: added tier 2 markers to icons and upgrade markers to upgrade icons. Also to make the tier 2 engines distinguishable their drive rods are now painted black. Special thanks to Peaceman for letting me use the raw models of the drive shafts of his engines and to Xaerthus for sharing the black metal texture.

---- Update 28.10.2019 ----
Compatibility update due to overhaul of fueling system in the main mod.

---- Update 5.12.2019 ----

---- Update 28.11.2020 ----
- Added tiny engines.
- Changed recipes for the ones using intermediary components (plates/pipes) from 'More Minerals - Vanilla Resources' mod.
- Replaced upgrade recipes with disassembly ones.

---- Update 3.12.2020 ----
Added 'More Minerals' fuel specifications (following changes in the main mod).
Added advanced mechanical engines (2x power, 2x fuel consumption).

---- Update 29.08.2021 ----
Updated following the major overhaul of the engines by Peaceman. New power curve, power settings and conversion to fluid management system. Now using fluid oli (lubricant) and water. No more messing with jars! Prior balancing with respect to the standard steam engines is preserved.
