feat: new machine descriptions
Tried to simplify the tooltips and fix their grammar. Currently I've removed the trailing period, but I'm not sure if I like that or not. Please share your ideas and feedback on these :slightly_smiling_face:
| Item | Old description | New description |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced Solar Panel[^1] | Advanced Solar Panels collect energy from the sun, and store it for further use. Adjusts position to face the sun, to collect more electricity. | A more efficient solar panel that rotates to face the sun |
| Basic Solar Panel | Basic Solar Panels collect energy from the sun, and store it for further use. Collects most energy at mid-day (non-adjustable). | Converts energy from the sun into electricity. Most effective at noon |
| Circuit Fabricator | Circuit Fabricator will process basic materials into silicon wafers, used for advanced machines. | Fabricates the silicon wafers needed for more advanced machines |
| Coal Generator | Burns coal and charcoal for energy. The simplest but least efficient energy method. | Burns coal and charcoal to generate electricity |
| Compressor | Compressor will process ingots into their compressed equivalents. | Compresses ingots to create stronger materials. Requires furnace fuel to run |
| Electric Compressor[^2] | Electric Compressor will process ingots into their compressed equivalents. Compresses two at a time, making it more effective than its predecessor. | Compresses ingots to create stronger materials |
| Electric Furnace[^3] | Electric Furnace is used as a faster alternative to traditional coal furnaces. | Uses electricity instead of fuel to smelt items |
| Electric Arc Furnace[^4][^1] | Electric Arc Furnace is used as a better and faster alternative to both traditional coal and electric furnaces: double output from ores! | A faster, electric blast furnace for smelting ores |
| Energy Storage Module | Energy Storage Module is used to store large amounts of energy for later use. | Stores a large amount of energy |
| Food Canner[^5] | Food Canner is used to compress up to %s edible items into a can that allows you to eat the food while wearing an oxygen mask. | Compresses up to %s food items into a single can. Canned foods can be eaten while wearing an oxygen mask |
| Fuel Loader | After being connected to a launch pad, a Fuel Loader will allow fuel to passed into the connected Rocket or other vehicle. | Loads fuel into a rocket placed on an adjacent launch pad |
| Glowstone Lantern | Glowstone Lanterns are best used to light areas when there is no oxygen for lanterns to burn. | Provides light, even in areas without oxygen |
| Glowstone Torch | Glowstone Torches are best used to light areas when there is no oxygen for wood torches to burn. | Provides light, even in areas without oxygen |
| Moon Cheese Wheel | Moon Cheese Wheels are created from the cheeses of the Moon, place-able and edible. | Can be placed and eaten like a cake. Made with all-natural Moon cheese |
| Oxygen Bubble Distributor | Oxygen Bubble Distributor creates a bubble of air around itself. Requires oxygen and electricity. | Creates a breathable bubble of oxygen in a small area |
| Oxygen Collector[^6] | Oxygen Collector will store oxygen collected from leaves in the surrounding area. | Collects oxygen from nearby crops and trees |
| Oxygen Compressor[^7] | Oxygen Compressor will load oxygen from internal storage into an oxygen tank. | Fills up oxygen tanks |
| Oxygen Decompressor[^7] | Oxygen Decompressor will unload oxygen into internal storage from an oxygen tank. | Empties oxygen tanks |
| Oxygen Sealer | Oxygen Sealer will check for an enclosed space. If the space is enclosed, it will fill with breathable air. | Fills an airtight room with oxygen to make it breathable |
| Oxygen Storage Module | Oxygen Storage Module is used to store large amounts of oxygen for later use. | Stores a large amount of oxygen |
| Parachest | Parachests will fall from the sky after landing on certain planets/moons, such as Earth. Contains rocket, fuel, and cargo from previous launch. | Falls from the sky when you travel to certain planets, carrying your rocket, fuel, and cargo |
| Refinery | Refinery will take an input of oil and energy, and output fuel used for rockets and vehicles. | Refines crude oil into fuel used by rockets and vehicles |
| Wrench[^8] | Most Galacticraft machines can be rotated by right-clicking with the Standard Wrench. | Rotates and configures various Galacticraft blocks |
[^1]: Need a way to phrase this that keeps the same pattern as the others [^2]: I believe the double processing was in GC4, but it's not in GC5 (yet?) [^3]: Not actually faster than a vanilla furnace [^4]: No double ingots in GC5 either [^5]: None of the other machines have exact numbers like this [^6]: Also collects oxygen from crops [^7]: These feel too short, but I don't know how to phrase it better [^8]: Not sure what the wrench does currently besides rotating blocks
I also had the idea of adding more detailed stats for machines like power usage and speed to make the tooltips more interesting. Galacticraft doesn't feel like a mod made for that kind of number crunching and automation, though.
Leaves are not the only oxygen providing blocks, crops also provide oxygen, but only 75% of the amount that leaves do.
Also, you have capitalized "Blast Furnace", but not other item names.
Personally, I prefer the trailing periods.

Good catch, fixed now.

Felt better to me since I phrased it as "the Blast Furnace", but yeah it was weird. Rephrased it to fit better.
Personally, I prefer the trailing periods.
I'm inclined to agree but I want to see what others think.
I think trailing periods are better as well. Since there are some descriptions with two sentences, it's more consistent to have periods after both sentences. I'd say its alright to drop the exact number of items on the food canner.
