Most Super Abilities which increase gathering speed now check both XP registers and new hardcoded lists to determine whether or not the block should be affected by the super ability, if the block is found on either the xp registers or our own internal list then it will be considered compatible with that super ability.

This prevents weird behavior from a server admin removing XP from something like Stone
