technic_cnc_use_technic uses minetest.conf instead of technic.conf

[Hawk777]

It seems to me that this setting ought to be world-specific (since the appropriate value AFAICT depends on what other mods are enabled in the world), not global, and therefore ought to use the technic.config table instead of the minetest.settings table. If people agree, I can put together a patch.

@Hawk777 I think that technic should use a two-layered settings system to cover all use-cases.

local is_active_str = technic.config:get("key") or core.settings:get("key") or "false"
local is_active = core.is_yes(is_active_str)

This however contradicts with the setting technic_cnc_use_technic (on by default), which controls the technic integration. You're right that it depends on the enabled mods - but is that an issue? Is there an unexpected behaviour?

[Hawk777]

I guess as written right now it lets you force-disable it but otherwise adapts to whether you have Technic installed or not, which seems like sane behaviour. Honestly I don’t know what I had in mind 4½ years ago. It might be reasonable to do nothing at all and just close this.
