API Feature Inquiry: Essence Type

[Malexion]

With the power system rewrite I know you may be busy but there is something that I was curious if it would be too much of a stretch to add to the API following along the lines of the power rewrite.

• Ability to add new essence power types which could still be compatible with current machines and devices as well as any I wish to add, perhaps a way to restrict device activation based on power type, IE one machine can only work on light, dark, fire, water whatever the case may be.

If this is a feature is currently possible, I apologize I haven't looked too much in depth with the current API.

That's not currently possible, but not out of the realm of possibility. Since the power system is being rewritten anyways, now is the time to ask!

Machines with the new power system can specify what kinds of power they will run on (or a generic ANY), meaning they won't even accept invalid power types. Then building upon that, they can specify additional functionality based on the power type they are currently using (the power system will just pass along whatever you ask it for, providing a source is available - what you do with it from there is up to you).

Excellent!
