Add many-in-one devices like bigger battery and longer conveyor tube to save performance

While building big grids (reasonably big, not excessive), players need to use a lot of devices, leading to the heavy burden of performance.

In fact, some servers I know have already using mod blocks that are more powerful than their vanilla equivalent to reduce their quantity to save the performance, like batteries and hydrogen tanks with bigger capacity, longer one-block conveyor tubes, and stronger thrusters.

Another benefit of many-in-one devices is aesthetic. In many cases (especially for thrusters), ships with a few bigger devices look much better than those with tong of smaller devices.

if conveyors really have a performance impact based on the number of blocks rather than tube length, it would really be an improvement to have 1x3 conveyor blocks.

alternatively, the code could be optimized to treat a number of blocks in a row as a single block, such as in this suggestion
