Transition Drive (BETA)

This is an beta version, please send me logs and steps to reproduce errors if you can!

The transition drive is jump drive that uses fuel. This is intended as a replacement for the standard jumpdrive, but does not actually replace it.
The transition drive is less limited than the regular jumpdrive, it can jump in and out of atmospheres and even inside planets or asteroids (with a chance to destroy parts of your ship). Loose players teleport with the grid if they're close enough, no need to sit. The transition drive can be used from a programmable block as well (The block is a IMyConveyorSorter, the properties to set are PBJumpBlind to jump a given distance forward. PBJumpGPS to jump to a given Vector3D, you can also verify jump success with PBJumpJumpSucceed).
The drive uses either the drive itself or the grid's main cockpit as the forward reference, so remember to set a main cockpit or orient your drive correctly if you make blind jumps.

The mod contains two planets for jump drive fuel: Ishtar, where the ore can be found in the form of low-yield sand in a vast desert, and Irkalla, an inhospitable hellscape where high-yield ore can be found deep underground.
Fuel can also be bought and sold at NPC stations and purchasable NPC ships have been updated with transition drives.

Transition drives create a jump signature visible to all players within a radius proportional to the jump distance.

Recent Update(s):


-Fixed bug that caused drives to stop working after a failed jump (I'm stupid)
-Added music to custom planets
-Added prototech versions for drives, with 2x fuel efficiency and 3x stealth efficiency

-Improvement to toolbar actions, added a safety toggle
-Major code changes to make multiplayer work. May be unstable.
-The gps selection should now be specific to the player using the menu as opposed to the block owner and popup messages should for the most part land on the correct player
-Create a contrived way to make the selected gps persist when saving/loading
-Removed Uranium and Platinum from the planets since they were never supposed to be there in the first place
-Fixed issue with pulling fuel, which was really just me having commented out a line by mistake
-Added jump distance to terminal info
-Fixed conveyors on small grid block
-Improved collision models on blocks
-Updated item models
-Added icon to item filter and fixed a crash caused by the last update
-Added item filter to only allow fuel inside drive inventory
-Fixed safe zone issues. Can't jump into or near safe zones any more
-Added transitium to trade stations, you can now buy and sell it to NPC's and there are acquisition contracts too
-Replaced jump drives on purchasable ships with transition drives, all except the J-Class Courier are fully integrated. The drive on the J-Class is not connected so you have to refuel manually.
-Replaced jump drive on Argentavis pirate carrier, the only freely spawning NPC ship with one.

Known bugs
-Some people have reported crashes when selecting a gps item in the menu. Please let me know if this happens to you.

Todo:
-Replace vanilla prototech jump drives in blueprints/encounters
-Determine if I can use ModAdjuster or something to do some things more cleanly (like adjusting trade station contracts)
