Adds the ability to insert screwdrives into autolathes
About The Pull Request
Lets you insert screwdrivers into autolathes when using help intent. Using a screwdriver on a screwed-open autolathe will still close it no matter the intent.
Why It's Good For The Game
Finally we will have a way to deposit the ten extra screwdrivers we accidentally printed back into the autolathe.

This seems very annoying
I've heard a lot of people complain about not being able to put screwdrivers into lathes on NSV, and this seems like the least annoying way to do it to me. Besides, if you accidentally your screwdriver into the machine you can just print a new one 🙂
Help intent would be the intent I'd use to want to open the panel though, rather than insert it in.
How about instead, it opens a prompt asking if you want to "Open the panel" or "Insert the screwdriver"
Yeah that's a good solution as well. ~~Besides mass-inserting things into autolathes is already annoying enough that this won't affect the experience much.~~
I personally have never tried inserting a screwdriver into an autolathe, but I would like the ability to. I do not see a reason to close this.

Intents being the form of "use" has precedence however. AFAIK you have to be on harm intent to dismantle a non-reinforced table with a wrench Making autolathe opened on harm-intent would follow along with this idea
I'd just flip it around. Make the autolathe eat the screwdriver on 'harm', as opposed to 'help'. The potential of fat-fingering it is inevitable, but much fewer people just run around on harm, so it's probably the easiest fix, short of totally overhauling the PR.
If you need some kind of intent-to-action relationship, uhh... You want to harm the screwdriver by obliterating it in an autolathe, I dunno.
I think this would get annoying and isn't worth the minor inconvenience of not being able to insert them back in
