Hydrothermal Synthesis (grow rocks)

Grown rocks functions identically to ore found outside the submarine, they give the exact same materials a normal ore would give you. Works the same way as hydroponics, except you're creating a synthetically pure ore from a sheet (seed) processed from the original/synthetic mineral.

1. Obtain a full Ore/mineral (Example Galena)
   
2. Put "Galena" Ore/Mineral inside Kiln and process it.
   
3. Take out "Galena Ore Material" (after processing done by Kiln)
   
4. Deconstruct "Galena Ore Material" to get "Galena Synthetic Sheets" (seeds)
   
5. Put Sheets(seeds) into an Autoclave
   
6. Autoclave will grow the sheet into "Pure Galena Ore"
   You can then go back to step 1 or deconstruct pure ore to get craft materials.

• Hydrothermal Synthesis Kiln (processes ore at 600 power units)
  
• Synthetic Ore Autoclave (grows the ore from sheets)
  
• Ores are named as pure uranium, pure iron, etc
  
• Seeds are named as synthetic sheets.

These crystals are not spawned outside nor are they buyable from campaign, currently you can only obtain them in a game from harvesting and processing vanilla ore. or spawn them in your sub.

The machines however should be buyable from research stations.

This mod does not overwrite vanilla content. It however produces Sulphur in addition to vanilla craft material with Pure Galena, Chalcopyrite, Sphalerite, and Bornite for compatibility to my hydroponics mod. Otherwise it does not borrow directly named assets from other mods to create conflicts. Unless another mod author renames similar files/sounds/images it should be fully compatible with everything. Bonk.ogg is a copied version from my water guns mod but should work independently.

Please let me know in the comments if you encounter something unusual.

21 MB is pretty big i'll see if i can trim that a little bit later.
