technic_worldgen breaks energy values on dev branch

[programmerjake]

Describe the bug
Enabling technic_worldgen from mt-mods causes energy values for most ingot types to not be set.

Expected behavior
iron, gold, tin, etc. ingots have energy values

Game (e.g. Minetest Game)
Minetest Game 5.8.0

Additional context
exchangeclone is at commit d5c153e
technic is at commit mt-mods/technic@f1b9928

reproduction steps:

• install technic from https://github.com/mt-mods/technic at commit f1b99282e889e9a483c76af95ee3370b6d2b2d04
• create new world based on minetest game 5.8.0
• enable exchangeclone dev modpack
• enable technic_worldgen from technic_mc_compat (editing world.mt might be easiest)
• run game
• look up ingots, observe that iron ingot has no energy value.

turns out it's not the mineclone compatibility PR, it's just the latest changes in technic master, available from contentdb at https://content.minetest.net/packages/mt-mods/technic_plus_beta/

Interesting. I've been testing with Technic, but not the beta version. I may not be able to test stuff today (with it being Christmas and stuff), but I'll probably check that out tomorrow.

[programmerjake]

do note that there's actually several different versions of technic: the one at https://github.com/mt-mods/technic (called Technic Plus/Technic Plus Beta in contentdb, the one I'm having issues with) and the one at https://github.com/minetest-mods/technic (called Technic in contentdb)

I figured it out... apparently I was handling aliases badly. Basically, if there were recipes where the output was an alias, they would completely overwrite all the recipes of the original item. This means that when Technic is enabled, all the recipes for "default:steel_ingot" are deleted and replaced with the recipes for "technic:wrought_iron_ingot". This is now fixed.
