Redstone conduits dont connect to blocks that don't have redstone capabilities

[Echoloquate]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I did not find any existing issues.

Current Behavior

Redstone conduits have no way to output redstone to blocks without redstone output capabilities. My specific use case is wanting to use it as a safety latch for Nuclearcraft Neoteric

Expected Behavior

The conduit should be able to connect to blocks to output a redstone signal

How to Test

1. Place a redstone conduit
2. There is no way to let it output to anything but a redstone outputting item

Local Environment

• Operating System:
• Java version:
• Minecraft Version:
• Version:
• Other Mods: Nuclearcraft Neoteric

Any Additional Information?

The conduit should be able to output a signal to the controller block

This is a known limitation where blocks aren't implementing the correct methods for us to detect redstone compatibility. This can be solved by tagging the block as redstone connectable or when we add support for forced connections with the yeta wrench.

The issue is further ingrained than just "other mods' blocks". The vanilla crafter does not connect to the conduit.

Besides, I see this issue differently. Why shouldn't the player be able to set a redstone conduit to output to any block? There are numerous use cases where it may be helpful to output to a solid block directly, as if a redstone repeater were outputting to it. If the redstone conduit's limitation in that regard is removed, I'm sure it would solve the problem. It would just be down to the player to wrench it to the right sides.
