Mech Overhaul Plus: Refined Ship Fuel

Description
This mod expands the Mech Overhaul Mod, adding fuel refining mechanics for a ship fuel. Such mechanics should let you reduce the fuel grind from moons to a level where it's still challenging and usable mechanic, and not too annoying or too easy.

New ship fuel:
💧 Refined Erchius Fuel (⛽x10) -- A good replacement for basic fuel in the mid-game (Tier 3 / Titanium age). You can process it at Refinery from basic erchius fuel.
💧 Premium Ship Fuel (⛽x50) -- created via Advanced Fuel Refinery (Mech Overhaul Mod) using Refined Erchius Fuel and a Catalyst — violium-based resourse, created at the Furnace. Further grind reduce in the late game (Tier 5 / Aegi-Fero-Violium age).

Some changes made to Mech Fuel Mod interface to avoid confusion:
- Unrefined Fuel renamed to Unrefined Mech Fuel
- Mech Fuel renamed to Premium Mech Fuel and changed its rarity to Purple (because it looks cooler 😎).
- Fuel Refinery renamed to Advanced Fuel Refinery and changed to standard crafting interface instead of refinery-like.

The diagram should give you a better understanding on how it works now.

Compatibility:
- I used some ideas from Refined Fuel Works but decided to make an addon that will give you much more comptetitive play, rather than using simple god items (or god fuels in this case). If you had Refined Fuel Works installed, you may or may not uninstall it. My mod replaces it completely and it is also backward-compatible: all obsolete types of fuel (of green and blue rarity) will remain in your inventory, so you can either process them at the Refinery to purple ship fuel or you can just pour it into your Fuel Hatch.
- FU: Don't know, never played it. Let me know whether it works or not or if it is even needed in the FU.

@spiny641 it's a known issue for the original Mech Overhaul mod (which was not created by me by the way): https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1654947569

WARNING, PLEASE READ:
Sometimes a bug happens on the tutorial mech where the mech spawns without fuel. That seems to happen when your character was created before installing the mod. It's a known bug, just quit the mission and try again and it should work normally.

Worry not about FU compatibility. Chances are they're going to steal this mod for it anyway.
