Change Computers to use console screens instead of glass sheets

Rob Nelson requested to merge pull/4446/Console-Screen into Bleeding-Edge

Created by: dylanstrategie

Simple change, more of a balance discussion than anything

  • Console Screen is now used to build computers instead of glass sheets
  • The Protolathe can now produce console screens (should have been this way a long while ago)
  • Broken computers no longer drop shards when cleared (console screens are worth 200 glass, one glass sheet is approx 4000-6000 glass)

I'm aware this will make computer construction a bit less accessible since you'd need to get access to either an Autolathe or a Protolathe, but you already need to use a Circuit Imprinter for circuits, and if you are rebuilding a computer to change circuits you can re-use the computer screen

The only case where this changes anything is for broken computers, which adds, to my opinion, an interesting sabotage dimension. If someone breaks the shit out of a console, you now need to query Cargo or RD, you can't just add raw glass in
