What this does
Adds the spiderbot fabricator: a new machine built by R&D that allows ghosts to spawn in it as spiderbots. It's similar to the MoMMI fabricator found on the derelict, except it makes spiderbots, requires metal sheets to work, and can actually be built by players. It can also be clicked by mice to turn themselves into a mouse-spiderbot, which is apparently a thing.
Right now it also looks exactly the same as the MoMMI fabricator:
Right now it's a machine board that requires Programming 4 and Engineering 4 to print out of the circuit imprinter, but no special materials. I am open to changing this so that it requires silver or gold or something to build on the protolathe if requested.
Why it's good
Someone mentioned on the Discord that letting the roboticist pre-build inactive borgs that ghosts can enter into at their leisure (similar to diona nymphs) would be a neat feature. I ran with that and made this instead, because
How it was tested
Did research, printed board, built machine, spawned in it as a ghost, clicked on it as a mouse.
