[B42/41] Automatic Stove Shutoff

Description
This is a mod that automatically turns off stoves when cooking is complete.

In version 41, it works with oven s,microwaves, toasters, and coffee machines.

In version 42, toasters and coffee machines were converted into crafting stations, so it only applies to ovens and microwaves.

When you cook multiple dishes at once with different cooking times,

the ones that finish early will stay in their cooked state without burning,

and the stove will automatically shut off once all dishes are fully cooked.


The stove also shuts off automatically in the following cases:

When there is no food to cook

When burnt food is inside

When the character cannot cook but all frozen food has thawed

When trying to reheat food like stew that hasn’t completely cooled down yet

When metal is placed inside a microwave

When a microwave contains purified water (i.e., no longer contaminated)


If you move more than 50 tiles away while the stove is still on,

the mod will stop tracking the stove and notify you with a warning message.


Additionally, the mod will reset your game speed back to normal when the stove turns off.


Sometimes, even if you turn on the oven or microwave, cooking doesn't start.

In those cases, try adjusting the temperature of the oven or microwave.

It seems to be a vanilla bug?occasionally the temperature gets stuck at 0°C.

That’s a funny bug.
I’ve fixed it and uploaded an update.
Thank you for the detailed bug report.

@SkyBlue Found a bug. When the oven turns itself off automatically, it continues to use generator power until you click the button to turn on/off the oven.

I’ve updated it so that when you right-click on the stove, a context menu appears that lets you toggle the mod’s function On/Off.

is it possible for there to be some sandbox options so that I can use this mod but still be able to put metal in the microwaves? Like a sandbox option toggle? Useful for starting fires lol
