Create: Big Pharma

A follow-up to v0.3.0 focused entirely on how the machines meet a Create shaft line, plus one bug fix found while testing it.

Real Shaft Inlets

Every kinetic machine used to have a static andesite nub sitting proud of the block face where a shaft connects. It never turned, and it visibly stepped where it met a real Create Shaft.

• Each machine now has that shaft's socket bored into both faces on its rotation axis, a machined housing wrapped around a real opening, fully recessed into the block instead of poking out of it.
• A rod turns inside the bore at the shaft's own speed and phase, so it holds still when unpowered and matches an attached line exactly.
• A flange ring turns around the mouth of any side actually joined to a shaft.
• The rod is now Create's Shaft, to the pixel; same 4×4 geometry, and it references Create's own textures directly, so it matches a neighbouring Shaft exactly (including whatever resource pack you're running) instead of a hand-drawn look-alike.

Coating Drum Rebuilt

The drum used to spin on a tilted axis of its own, floating next to the shaft housings with no relationship to them. It now rides the shaft line itself; barrel, stub axles, the rod in both bores, and any attached shaft all turn together at one rate, in one direction, and stop together when the line loses power. The barrel is rebuilt from angled slats so it reads as a cylinder rather than a spinning box.

Fixed: Packaging Was Destroying Pill Coatings

The packager (and the coating drum) matched pills by item type alone, so a batch holding both plain and sugar-coated (or extended-release) pills of one compound could size its output off all of them, produce the plain variant, and consume the coated pills to make it; silently throwing the coating away. Pills are now matched on their full properties, so only the exact variant being packaged is drawn down. Two regression gametests cover this so it can't come back unnoticed.

Also: extractor ambience volume trimmed down, it was the loudest machine in the room.
