Adds Soldering Iron

Rob Nelson requested to merge pull/4205/soldering into Bleeding-Edge

Created by: Kurfursten

  • Fully sprited (5 sprites depending on how full it is) untitled
  • Fully tested
  • Video of the tool in action! http://a.pomf.se/praexc.webm
  • Additional video, of researching boards: http://a.pomf.se/nmsiyf.webm
  • Generally very soft code - easily modified to add more boards or functions later.
  • Coderbus support: includes new macro issolder(A) for easy future implementation

Project details

  • Adds a new tool, soldering iron, available at YouTool and Autolathe
  • Soldering irons may be filled with sulphuric acid, allowing them to function
  • Soldering irons have a light indicator to show how full they are
  • The tool can repair a smoked airlock electronics or a broken secure closet at the cost of fuel
  • The tool is now used to make board alterations (as yet, only two: the contraband enabling on the supply shuttle console, and it may also be used to upgrade a security console board to an advanced security console board)
  • The tool can create nine basic circuitboards (randomized fuses every shift) out of glass: Airlock Electronics, Power Control Module, Fire Alarm, Air Alarm, Vendomat, Conveyor, Microwave, Seed Extractor, Autolathe. This means a clever engineer who does his research can repair a room's basic utilities carrying around just this tool and sheets of glass.
  • The fuses have their own interface, and modifying them costs fuel - once you have chosen five fuses, you can attempt to see if your configuration is valid with a multitool (of 21 configurations, 9 work)
  • Power Control Module is now a circuitboard
  • The tool belt now can carry soldering tools
  • A circuitboard can be rendered blank with a welding tool
  • A blank board can be turned back to glass with a welding tool
