This update to 0.13.x is not compatible with 0.12.x due to many name changes in the base mod. (especially underground belts)

Description
This mod is meant to add features to the very late game. It all began with fusion energy, therefore I start with this.
There are no changes to any recipes in the vanilla game, therefore you can always add features of this mod later.
Please note, you can select any subset of the features mentioned below, see Configuration for this.
Fusion
Fusion energy is a clean energy source based on the fusion of deuterium and tritium yielding helium, neutrons and energy.
Tier 1:
Creates 100MW of power. Setup involves a fusion reactor (top) creating solar fuel, a high temperature boiler, 5 high throughput steam engines. A special heat transfer fluid is necessary.
Tier 2:
Creates 1GW of power. Setup similar to that of a tier 1 fusion setup. You need the advanced heat transfer fluid.
Alien Train
A train much faster and with more capacity per waggon than normal trains. Extremly energy hungry and probably best feed with solar fuel extracted from the fusion generator.
Coal->Oil plant
A very energy hungry (50MW) building producing oil from coal and water.
Security zone
There is a stationary version eating 500MW and a mobile version as a tank. The stationary version has a much higher range, but the tank is ideally suited to clear large infestations. Build and forget. Don't kill yourself with it!
Belts
Two tiers of belts, Alien and Super Alien. The Alien belts are two times faster than the express belts, the super alien are two times faster than the alien belts.
If UndergroundBeltsExtended aka Belts+ is present, the long belts are available as alien and super alien as well.
Inserters
The fast long inserter is very similar to the one offered in the Fast Long Inserter mod, but this one has a seperate research and is slightly faster.
The alien inserter is twice as fast as the fast inserter, and the super alien inserter is twice as fast as the alien inserter.
Drills
Two tiers of drills with high power consumption (1MW, 50MW) but high range and speed. The alien drill is capable of feeding the super alien belts.
Alien Laser Turret
Got a base far away from any security zone which is under constant attack? The Alien Laser Turret with self healing capabilities may be just the right choice.
It has 3 times the damage of a normal laser and enough health to take on a group of behemoth biters.
Alien construction robots
Tired of waiting for a slow robot to follow you? You can try to outrun this one. Uses faster and much more durable repair packs as well.

Configuration
The mod permits enabling and disabling individual features. The default .zip file has all features enabled.
To disable a feature, unzip the .zip and make sure only the extracted folder is kept in the mods directory.
Then open the config.lua file and disable features by simply setting values to false.

Anyone interested in contributing a nice fusion reactor or anything the like?
Can only offer credits though, its all non commercial.
