Special Block Handling

• zpm : This tag being present signifies the blow below it is a zpm console, hub or interface cart. It handles spawning logic (such as if the block should spawn at all) as well as what kind of ZPM should be inside it, if any.
• sgbase : Signifies there is a stargate base block below it. This is to ensure the gate links to its DHD & forms properly after being pasted into the world.
• dhd : Signifies there is a DHD block below it. This is to ensure the dhd links to its gate properly & spawns naquadah in it on occasion. Occasional the DHD will be removed as well.
• rings : Signifies there is a set of transport rings **two **blocks below it. This is to ensure the Transport rings behave properly once spawned and spawns them with a random amount of energy in their buffer.
