DroneUpgradeStation

DroneUpgradeStation

The following changes are made:

• By default, Drone Upgrade Stations are allowed to spawn on every Stage 4 & 5, same as the Drone Combiner Station. Only one can spawn per stage.
• A guaranteed one will also spawn on Computational Exchange.
• Now checks for the Mechanical body flag instead of Drone. This notably allows Gunner Turrets to be upgraded, but it also allows temporary Mechanical allies (e.g. Empathy Cores, The Back-up) to benefit from it.
• Blacklists every item with the CannotCopy tag, or in other words, anything that turrets can't inherit.
• Extra items that are blacklisted by default: Rusted Key, Shipping Request Form, Bundle of Fireworks, Squid Polyp, Sale Star, Chance Doll, Hopoo Feather, Wax Quail, Substandard Duplicator, War Bonds, Functional Coupler.
• It's green.

Also comes with an adjustment to the Drone Combiner Station. When used, it iterates through each of the two drones' items, takes the highest stack count, and gives it to the resulting drone. This ensures that items are never lost when combining.

Not much else has been done in terms of polish, this interactable has been brought back mostly as-is.

To-do (maybe):

• Differentiate its model so it's not just a green'd-up Drone Combiner Station.
• Stop players from wasting items if they don't have anything to upgrade.
