Robot salvage system

Summary

SUMMARY: Content "Make robots salvageable"

Purpose of change

Follow #30282 and Kevins suggestions about salvageable modules that would be require to re-build some robots.

Describe the solution

• Add salvageable modules
• Make parts available in descontruction of appropriate robot corpse
• Add schematics for every robots
• Add recipe for every robots
• Add deconstruction recipe to salavage electronics and scrap from modules
• Make sure that salvageability of modules is affected by damage to robot

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

The list of salvageable modules is open to discussion
Difficulty of recipe is also debatable, it's a bit difficult to judge

Schematics could use a better name
Schematics are super rare, if factories ever get mainlined they probably should spawn there, or any other robot making facilities
Schematics could be rewards from robofac.

Now damage done to a monster with BROKEN death function will be transfered to its body which in turns affect the probability to get component when disassembling.

Some robot part like treads, and legs could be converted to vehicle part when the vehicle code can support it.

Maybe call it an "AI Core"?

Or, "it's where the robot's AI lives." (Did you mean "seat" the first time?) *Reasons* I think this description might still cause confusion for new players, especially regarding what they can do with this part. And if not, there's still some awkwardness in the phrasing. It sounds like you're getting at something similar to a CPU (central processing unit), right? I assume you don't want to call it a CPU because that'd imply that future AI tech works just like computers today. But it's still the right analogy. CPU = the brain of the computer = does the processing and makes the decisions. Am I grokking you right? If so, I'd actually say the place that runs vs that holds the AI would be the same. The human brain both holds and runs its intelligence. (But then has a bunch of other parts, including memory banks, that are for other functions than just intelligence/decision-making.) BTW, good work, these are exciting additions! — You are receiving this because you commented.

WOW, so much detail in here. This does exactly what I was hoping for, and you threw in a ton of extra content on top of that. I'll have to take a much closer look at balance when I have time, but I very much doubt there are any major issues.
One specific thing I noticed is consider upping the amount of RAM for more advanced bots.

Ooooooooh! Mainline friendly robot content? Yes please!

This PR just add parts and recipe for inactive bot, this does not guarantee that the robot will be friendly. If you manage to re-assemble a chicken bot you're very likely to get killed when turning it on.
