[Feature] Adds Methylin, and revamp Monkey-Machine interaction

When a mob uses a machine/advanced tool, like a gun, instead of the action being allowed/forbidden entirely by the mob's race, the mob will now pass a dexterity check. What this means basically is that under a certain condition, monkeys may become able to use machines, while under a certain condition, humans might not be able to use them anymore.

Here's basically how it works:

  • By Default mobs fail the check.
  • By Default humans pass the check.
  • Humans with severe (above 60) Brain damage fail the check
  • By Default monkeys fail the check.
  • Monkeys that have Methylin in their system pass the check
  • Borgs always pass the check.
  • Dionas nymphs always fail the check. Methylin does nothing for them.

So, what's methylin?

Full name Methylphenidate, also known as Concerta, Methylin, Ritalin, and a few other names.

It's a drug that enhances intelligence and cognition.

We don't have Methane in the Chem Dispenser, so I worked out something a bit different: The reaction for methylin is 1 hydrogen + 1 chlorine + 1 ethanol, plus 5 fluorine as catalyst. (for crying out loud fluorine is only used in ONE recipe)

Methylin has the same metabolism as Hyperzine, and the same overdose limit as well, except that on top of giving you Toxin damage you'll also take Brain Damage should you have over 15u of methylin in your system...

Lastly, Monkeys under methylin can understand Sol Common.
