About the PR

Modified the yaml files to create two new items; PDV Cyborg Intrinsics and TSF Cyborg Intrinsics. These items were mapped into the lathes through the faction research for the Basic Combat Cyborg Modules. There was a new branch added to the construction steps for the cyborgs (using the Mech IFF yaml style as a base), which allows crafting faction cyborgs with the new component on the pre-final step of construction.

Why / Balance

This change makes it possible to create new PDV/TSF cyborg chassis, in case your old borg got blown up (again).

It's very frustrating to have your loyal borg be crushed into oblivion (or bashed with a tintreach until they're just a positronic brain and modules lying in a heap), so making a fresh chassis is a good idea. It is better than the alternative of the player ghosting and rejoining on a new slot.

Requirements

  • I have read relevant guidelines/documentation to this PR found on our devwiki.
  • I have added media to this PR or it does not require an ingame showcase.
  • I can confirm this PR contains either no AI-generated content, or AI-generated content that meets our guidelines.

How to test

  1. Create TSF/PDV faction server and R&D computer.
  2. Create exosuit fabricator with materials. (select relevant faction server)
  3. Unlock the faction's basic cyborg module.
  4. Find PDV Cyborg Intrinics / TSF Cyborg Intrinsics printable component in exosuit fabricator
  5. Build cyborg as usual, but make sure to install intrinsic component before final screw (after last flash installed)
  6. Screwdriver and see relevant chassis is made.

I love how you recreated #3715 which they still didn't finish :trollface:

Holy shit you're right. I didn't even check the previous pull requests. Well, I guess that's a plus. Hopefully their PR gets merged then...

Worst comes to worst, we'll just modify this one to match theirs, slap their name on the changelog, and push it through.
