Lawboard enhancements
About the PR
- lawboards can now be printed at circuit imprinters for 2 diamonds, 10 glass, 2 silver, gold, plasma
- syndicate lawboards can now be printed at emagged circuit imprinters for 5 diamonds, 5 bananium, 2 silver, 2 gold, 2 plasma, 10 glass
- lawboards now show their lawset on examine
- borgs can now have their laws updated with lawboards
Why / Balance
- sometimes a station doesn't spawn with the lawboards that crew wants, or something happens to make them inaccessible
- having to destroy a borg chassis every time the laws get disruptive is not fun for anyone involved
- 10 second visible doafter/popup + required open panel means a borg has to be incapacitated or willing to take the law change
Technical details
- LawElectronicsInsertionSystem handles updating borg lawsets
- LawElectronicsExamineSystem handles examining lawboards
- new lathe recipes and packs for all the lawboards

Changelog
:cl:
- add: Lawboards now show their laws on examine
- add: Lawboards, crew and otherwise, are printable at circuit imprinters
- add: Lawboards can be used to update the lawset of a borg chassis
Okay I'm suggesting this right now - the bananium cost is a bad idea,it's hard to even get 1 or 2 let alone 5. This would lock the boards as only being open to a salvage antag, and even then rarely
Two things:
- Aside from them being circuit-adjacent, why put them in the circuit imprinter when theyre a robotics item and it doesnt make as much sense for all scientists + engi to have them?
- A confirmation popup for finishing installing the laws would be good, having no feedback after the doafter seems strange.
theyre a robotics item and it doesnt make as much sense for all scientists + engi to have them?
this goes both ways, if only roboticist can make it a borg with funny laws means roboticist KOS

300 IQ gaming: as a roboticist, cut the wires on the doors to robotics before doing funny things. When seccomes knocking, tell them that comebody had broken into robotics and did funny things. Congratulations! You are no longer KOS just because of a borg with funny laws existing.
Direction has the following requests, after which it's approved:
- make all lawboards identically priced (including syndicate ones.)
- move default board printing to exofab, out of circuit lathe
- give emagged circuit lathe access to all lawboards Thanks!
