About The Pull Request
This PR improves motorized wheelchairs in the following ways:
Why It's Good For The Game
I've been talking to Dalm about this, and wheelchairs are in dire need of some improvements. Tidying up the mess that is the motorized wheelchair seemed like a good place to start.
Firstly, it's good for motorized wheelchairs to function as expected when not specifically crafted by hand. This is helpful to admins, mappers, and anyone else who might have reason to make one of these appear. It's also good that all the parts in the wheelchair drop on the ground when destroyed, as there's no particular reason power cells should be lost.
As for power cells being included in the recipe - it's not obvious at a glance that you need to insert a power cell after crafting, until you try to drive your new wheelchair around. This extra step of annoyance is now avoided by making it required to stick one in when you build the thing.
Changelog
🆑 lizardqueenlexi
fix: Motorized wheelchairs will no longer spawn in a bugged state where they have no parts and can't be upgraded.
fix: Motorized wheelchairs will drop their power cell when destroyed or deconstructed.
qol: Power cells are now inserted into motorized wheelchairs as part of the crafting recipe, instead of as an extra step afterwards.
