Better insulation
Improve insulating block face calculation for chiseled blocks

Description
<h3>Description</h3> <p>If you're like me, at one time you tried to make a custom window and wondered why you were freezing to death inside your own house. That's because the game is very picky about what counts as an insulating block face when it comes to chiseled blocks: 50% of the face of the block (voxels directly against the block face) must contain material. So a glass pane in the middle of the block doesn't count, even if it does completely block the outside world.</p> <p>This mod changes that. Instead, for each position on the face, it checks whether that row contains a voxel anywhere within the block. As in vanilla, at least 50% of the face must be covered.</p> <h4>Sound changes:</h4> <ul> <li>Chiseled blocks don't need to be 50% solid to block outside sounds anymore(vanilla behavior), they only need to have 75% coverage instead</li> <li>Chiseled blocks don't need to be 50% glass to make the raindrops-on-glass sound anymore(vanilla behavior), it only needs to have 50% coverage made of glass instead</li> </ul> <h3>Performance concerns</h3> <p>Does it hurt performance? No, not at all! The new calculation is not complex and it only happens when a chiseled block is changed. The insulating faces are cached to be used later, in case a room changes. On save load, it needs to calculate again, but that is true for vanilla as well. The performance impact should be negligible.</p> <h3>Safe to add/remove to ongoing saves?</h3> <p>Yes!</p> <h3>Mod compatibility</h3> <p>Should conflict with other mods that change the insulation logic, for obvious reasons</p> <p> </p> <h3>You may also like my other chiseling mods!</h3> <p><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/chiseledgroundplacement"><strong>Chiseled ground placement</strong></a>: Allows placement of big items that take an entire block on chiseled blocks, like firepits, chests, beds, etc<br /><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/densegroundstorage"><strong>Dense ground storage</strong></a>: Allows placement of small things, like pots and bowls, inside chiseled blocks.<br /><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/chiseledwallmounting"><strong>Chiseled Wall Mounting</strong></a>: Allows placing wall-mounted things on chiseled blocks</p>
