Expose Ore Crushing in configs

What Should Be Added or Changed?

Rework secondary outputs on the Crusher to be similarly rewarding to other tech mods. Of note,

  • Coal Ore's chance of producing diamonds when crushed should be removed entirely (or exposed in configs) to force players to use the Compressor with Coal Blocks.
  • Metallic ore crushing ratios should be exposed in the config so pack developers can scale this ore multiplication with other mods.

Why Should This Be Done?

Explanations,

  • Crushing Coal generates Diamonds. This starts at under 1%, but scales up to over 40% with upgrades. This turns Coal Ore crushing into one of, if not the, best source of Diamonds in any modpack that includes Silent's Mechanism. In particular this mode of producing diamonds completely defeats the existence of the Compressor, since out of the 72 Coal ore needed to produce one diamond from Compression, one would expect to get 28 or more diamonds from crushing.
  • Metallic ore crushing is always 1 ore -> 2 chunks -> 2.2 dust. With the two +40% on dust from upgrades, this translates to ore triplication. However this only uses the one machine and is fairly straightforward to operate once the upgrades are applied. This tends to discourage inclusion of Silent's Mechanism compared to other mods that make ore triplication more engaging.
