Critically exploding blocks

Description
Got the idea for this mod from https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=646089317. Go support him!

Basically, I am also blowing up jump drives, but without the fancier light effects employed by the other mod, and also unlike the other mod, this one will do proper damage to the surrounding blocks without completely vaporizing them, leaving much less debris and providing more to salvage when you kill something. I'm going for a more Star Citizen feel with it. Also, this mod includes Reactors. Might include hydrogen tanks in the future as well. Have any suggestions for blocks that SHOULD explode in Space Engineers? Let me know in the comments.

Utilizes multithreading to be completely performance friendly. Safe to use for explosion chains of any size, and on dedicated servers. Thanks again to the author of Jump Drive Critical Explosions for the idea.

I've been informed that it was Grid Integrity mod, big thanks to the person who let me know!

There was a mod that I used to have that made ships start to explode after taking a certain amount of damage. *Everything* on and in the ship would explode in a chain of explosions like ships do in films. Sadly I don't think the mod exists anymore as I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

I think that gravity generators should also have some kind of explosion. If a gravity generator is able to provide an entire ship with Earth-Level gravity, then there must be some power behind it.

@Splen, you should come back and update this :D

@Splen the large reactor do not seem to explode.

@Splen love the exploding jump drives and reactor's hoping for the hydro tanks to explode soon. Thanks for such a great mod that really puts danger in combat.

@Baron_Grantville Reactors dont explode, they melt. They dont use weapons grade uranium, its too unstable for reactor usage. Even then you can shoot a bar of weapons grade uranium and it will just giggle at you. SO no reactors shouldnt explode.

Is it possible that there's something weird with the volume of the explosions? I play with all my sounds around 25% and when reactors went off just now it was absolutely deafening, as if it ignored the set sound settings or sth along those lines.
