26w26a/b/c: Mining, Scooter

Various improvements addressing newcomer feedback / difficulties with mining and the scooter.

Also a big refactor to the way the storage jobs system explores the network: it is aimed at stopping issues with massive network.

Tell me if you spot any regression!

I addressed the hovercraft/scooter toppling off when unused:

• Hovercraft computer: new Hover Pod Settle Time setting controls how long pods stay active after exiting the yoke, with stabilization during release.

• Scooter base has been made more stable so it is less likely to topple off when exited.

• new ballast block with a heavy weight, to fine-tune your weight distribution

Mining/Getting stuck issues

• shows a popup warning if the player mines underground without a jetpack/jump-pack.

• Terrain mining uses a larger spherical radius and overlaps neighboring octree nodes.

• Faster mining in soil and rocks (ore is unchanged)

• I made it easier to get out of any hole by jumping:

1. jump is a bit stronger
   

2. can jump from slope terrain
   

3. will walk steep slope for a short time
   

Overall I hope it will minimize the frustrating of newcomers getting stuck in hole they were digging.

Community Suggestion:

#7848 Hide Clear Rows buttons in survival to prevent accidental item drops.

Other Improvements:

• Debug: terrain hit shows density lattice corners and cube edges at the impacted voxel.

• Antigrav Tool: center of mass grab gizmo got pimped

• Help message when trying to build the Wind Turbine on ships or stations, explaining it must be placed on ground entities.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed world item pickup conflicting with multitool mining (vacuum grab and manual grab while mining rocks).

• Fixed rock and ore mining health bar showing on world props that are picked up instead of broken into loot.

• Fixed chained docking undocking the middle ship when a third entity docked to it.

• #7849 Fixed yoke gimbal being applied to turret weapons activated through an event gate.

• #7846 Fixed docking connector event gate not triggering HUD warning on dock/undock.

• #7852 Fixed NullReferenceException when a ship repair beam heals bricks with stale collider data.

• #7840 Fixed event gate outputting analog manual slider percentage instead of binary threshold state.

• Fixed legacy rock and stone brick item colors not always matching their material bucket tint.

• Fixed help message mergeTime deduplication not working (messages could repeat every few seconds).

• Fixed assembler not pushing finished products while its queue is active #7847.

Thanks for playing!
