Add autolathe back to Researcher

Post by Ranged66 » 02 Jul 2017, 09:33

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Right now researchers can do very little. An autolathe was a vital part of their process of making grenades, something useful for the troops. Adding one back, maybe along with a good stack of metal or two would seriously benefit them and give them something to do again.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Gives researchers grenades to mess around with, and to help the marines with. Could be used for various purposes such as makeshift claymores.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Add an autolathe and some metal to research in medbay. Easy.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

+1 Research lab is so empty, they may as well not exist right now.

You need a protolathe for grenade casings...

You can make grenade casings with metal sheets. You need a protolathe for the large grenades, and an autolathe for beakers/igniters/timers.
