What

Add more mold shapes.

Outcome

More uses for fluid solidifiers

Additional Information

The recipe EU/t and durations will likely need balancing

Don't think we need the screw mold, since that is just lathing bolts, which is ultra quick.

The mold shapes for the pipes have white in the pipe shape, instead of it being empty.

In the pipe recipe cases, the durations should be based off the material mass, for consistency. And the duration should use the voltage multiplier, to match the extruder cases. Actually not just pipes, all places should use material mass for the duration

The pipe molds are supposed white to differentiate them from the extruder molds. Maybe a darker gray instead of white/light gray?

The round mold is missing the forming press duplication recipe.

The voltage multipliers could also be applied to the round, ring, and rod solidification. Right now most of our metal extruder recipes are MV, having the new solidification recipes be ULV has some major differences there.

All (3) round recipes in the lathe are also ULV, but the recipe length is significantly shorter in the solidifier (0.25s vs 5s). I'll fix the duration and increase the voltage of bolts, rings, and both rods but leave the rounds voltage alone.

I just noticed that extruding duration is scaled based on the material's mass, but round lathing isn't. I think it should, but what do you think?

Additionally I kinda arbitrarily set the durations, but I don't think they should be the exact same as extruding. IMO they should be a little shorter to account for fluid extracting, but I don't know a good amount to shorten it by.
