ExcavOS [Dev Branch]

What is this?

ExcavOS is an Operating System dedicated to all miners!

Do you often wonder while mining: Is the miner already full? How much my miner can carry and not fall down? If yes, then this script is for you.

Please check the official manual page on setup instructions and features https://excavos.surge.sh/

**This is the Dev branch release of ExcavOS** Included Changes/Improvements:

to give some updated info on the changes that are on the player facing side.

- toggle_gaa and toggle_cruise now have optional secondary arguments on and off which force it to that state instead of toggling it.

- gravity align is now displayed as P-Grav Align and A-Grav Align depending on which of the two is the dominant gravity source at that point, this allows the ship to align with grids on stations and astroid bases. etc.

- atmospheric thrusters are shut down automatically in space so they don't waste power. **

- a new config value "DockTag" if a connector has the set docktag in it's custom data and the ship docks with that specific connector it shuts down *all* thrusters, this is useful for fighters/mining ships that get docked to haulers to stop it from wasting power/fuel by fighting the main ship's movement.*

- if the grid becomes static all thrusters are shut down to prevent hydrogen/power waste.*

- while gravity alignment is active the mouse can now override the gyro's to a degree, allowing for adjustments without needing to turn off the alignment completely.

* these features run only if no pilot is currently present in the ship, if a pilot enters the ship the engines are powered on early to prevent the ship from falling down once the connector disengages or the ship is no longer static

** this is done by checking the engines 'effectivethrust' is 0, this will effectively auto-manage any engines both vanilla and modded to shut down the engines if for some reason they are incapable of providing thrust, for example, if you run out of hydrogen, the effective thrust becomes 0 and it shuts all those down until you refuel again. this also means that they get excluded from the weight calculation if you run out of fuel so the weight calculation only accounts for atmos/ions at that point.

The ship automation features can now be disabled if they are undesired using the new: AutomateThrust=true AutomateStockpile=true AutomateCharging=true

With Thanks to @Brianetta

There's additional tweaks, additions and optimizations in there that were made over the past 2 years that i've long since forgotten about, i was not aware that none of them ever made it into the released builds.
