Bug: Make mechanical arms interact with Sublevels created by Swivel Bearings

• I have searched GitHub for my suggestion

What is your suggestion?

Create: Big Cannons has an option to load some cannons with mechanical arms, which works if it is in the same sublevel, but doesn't work if the arm and the cannon mount aren't in the same sublevel. Having it work between sublevels would be great.

They should normally be compatible, because my mod makes it so that anything a Mechanical Hand can do still works, even if they are on different sublevels. Could you show me a picture or a vid of your setup where they are incompatible ?

You're right, it works between sublevels, after further testing I have concluded that the issue lies at swivel bearings. Mechanical arms don't interact with anything in them, if they are not part of them, even if you first activate them and select depots and other stuff afterwards

I just tested it, and yep, I see the issue. I’ll try to fix the bug, but I can’t promise anything

There is another issue that will always occur with the inputs and outputs of a mechanical hand. For example, if I set up a mechanical hand, connect it to a input/output depot, and then turn that Depot into a sublevel, the mechanical hand actually needs to be reconfigured, because it is still checking the depot that was in that position in the real Minecraft level

For now, I have no idea how to handle that, but I’ll look into it
