[WYD] Worker Drones

This mod adds a handful of worker drone mechanoids that, unlike the fabricator, are dedicated to a single taskset. They will focus on the tasks they are created for, rather than switch between them.

The intent of this mod was to break up the multitude of tasks that have been assigned to the Fabricator mechanoid into smaller task-sets and reassign them to a set of new droids that are dedicated to performing those task-sets. The reasoning behind this is to a small point that the fabricator is gated behind a high tier research, but mostly due to the fabricator having a tendency to flit between tasks when multiple are available, and leave half-finished jobs behind.

The new mechanoids are as follows:

Culinoid

A small work mechanoid designed to focus on cooking tasks. This mechanoid focuses on Cooking tasks, such as butchering, and cooking tasks. This mech is available with Basic Mechanoid tech. (requires 50 steel, 1 basicsubcore)

Craftihand

A small work mechanoid designed to focus on crafting tasks. This mechanoid focuses on Crafting and Tailoring tasks, and includes tasks such as making stone blocks, smelting, crafting drugs, and making simple items at the crafting spot. This mech is available with Basic Mechanoid tech. (requires 50 steel, 1 basicsubcore)

Metallutor

A small work mechanoid designed to focus on smithing tasks. This mechanoid focuses on Smithing tasks, such as fabricating, machining, making weapons and work at the mech gestator. This mech is available with Standard Mechanoid tech. (requires 50 steel, 1 standard subcore)

Inquisitor

A small work mechanoid designed to focus on researching tasks. This mechanoid focuses on Research. Or it would, if it worked. Despite the Fabricator having research assigned as one of it's tasks, it does not have any tasks associated with it, so it does jack. As such, this mechanoid is currently disabled, since iunno C# stuff. This mech would be available with Standard Mechanoid tech. (requires 50 steel, 1 standard subcore)
