Allow people to build their own AIO grinders

Post by J_Madison » #110607

After having a chat with MSO about a bug with disassembling AIO grinders (found in bar, kitchen, hydroponics, chemistry, xenobiology) and an interesting glitch that occurs afterward, we came to the conclusion that tgstation13 doesn't actually allow you to build your own AIO grinder, which would be beneficial in case any of those locations somehow lose their grinder (bomb) or someone requires a grinder but cannot access those locations (fire, slime breakout, AI malfunction).

My suggestion is you can create grinders by using the usual method (machine frame, wire, board, parts, screwdriver)

If you're interested in the glitch as admins/coders/staff, shoot me a PM and I'll brief you on it.

I always would've liked the end goal that the entire station should be rebuildable. Unfortunately this is limited by either not having construction methods (Blast shutters, door switches etc.) or by balance.
It seems that coders are attempting to rectify this lately, with grinders and other stuff now being buildable by science.

That would definitely be cool, although blast shutters in particular would be horribly abusable in, say, a gang round.
