[Bug]: Data Input Machine doesn't send the data packet when connected "closely" to other Data multiblock

[LolscopeDev2022]

Initial Check

• I have checked the existing issues and this one is not a duplicate

Category

🧱Multiblocks

Description

EWTS. This is a bug because, as I remember, it was possible to send a data packet while having DIM and ALM connected "very closely" (basically without connectors and without any gaps in blocks)

Side

Server

Reproduction

1. Place DIM and Arithmetic Logic Machine or Ballistic Computer multiblocks very close that their data ports on blocks are "connected" without data connectors.
2. Send the data packet
3. The neighbor data-processing multiblock doesn't get the data packet

Expected Behaviour

The block-to-block connected multiblock should receive the data packet from DIM

@Pabilo8 is this an intended behavior?
I assume the logic is that of how capacitors/ energy storage blocks can be put directly onto input ports on machines and that works.
Do we want the same logic for data, or will it be connector only?

@Avalon2106 yes, data devices should be able to send and receive data from adjacent ones
