NuclearCraft chocolate and S'more S'mingot balancing ideas (i'm being serious) #234

Ground Cocoa Nibs could be given a recipe in the GT Macerator as a LV tier recipe.

Cocoa Butter could be given a recipe in the GT Fluid Extractor as LV tier recipe but not be craftable in the steam version of the machine since the default NC recipe for the butter has both liquid and item outputs and the steam extractor only has item output.

All of the other recipes in the NC chocolate chain can be done in the Tinkers' smeltery but it would be nice to have GT Mixer and Fluid Solidifer recipes as well.

All of this is in order to not gate the chocolate frame from Binnie's Extra Bees behind EV tier.

As for the S'more S'mingot, it could be made available earlier in the game (as of right now, it is gated behind EV as well) as an easily automatable source of food early game in LV becoming more powerful with progression in the GT energy tiers as the S'more S'mingot has several tiers itself.

The Graham Cracker could be given a recipe in the GT Compressor instead of, again, being gated behind EV through the NC Pressurizer.

The Marshmallow could have recipes in the GT Fluid Solidifier for the item, a GT Mixer recipe for its fluid form. The Gelatin needed for the marshmallows could be made in a GT Fluid Extractor from raw porkchop.

The S'more S'mingot and its upgrades' recipes could have a GT Assembler for each of the different tiers of it (ex: S'more S'mingot in LV, MoreS'more DoubleS'mingot in MV/HV, FourS'more QuadS'mingot in HV/EV)

The idea behind all of this is to make the S'more S'mingot relevant as a decent and delicious food source early game as competing with the Pam's foods that might offer more than it but are more difficult to craft, but also turn it into a problem solver late game as getting food might become an annoyance to some, as a top tier food with less automation steps required than the Pam's top tier foods. Of course, my idea might not be extremely balanced (probably) so tweaks may be required if this is added.
