[CAT] Cat-Oh-Lith Preset ~ strong & weak Signals

IMPORTANT
Keen have altered the way the crate buttons work so that on press they shut down all batteries and reactors.
This means that the cat-oh-lith will power down when the button is used. This effect only applies to a grid once however as long as the grid doesn't change.
I tried to make a workaround by having a second grid listen to a comm message from the lith and attach by rotor, toggle batteries and reactors, then detatch again, however this resulted in a grid reset allowing the cat-oh-lith to power down again every time the button was used.
So for now, the first time the Cat-Oh-Lith is used after spawning in or world load it will shut down but it can be powered on again by toggling the batteries and/or reactors.

Vote for this but rep if you want the devs to look at it soon!

NOTICE
And on to version 3!
Well... technicly version 6 but the third version anyone other than myself ever used!

CAUTION:
To get this working again I had to rebuild it from the bottom up, double the number of grinders, change the spindol, change the button blueprints and I have had to make changes to the script so... basicly the entire thing had to change.
These is no easy way to update these in a survival world.


A Self Perpetuating Crate. 100% Vanilla!

Can generate both strong signal and weak signal skin drops.
This does not bypass cool-downs. There is a cool-down of somewhere between 15-60 minutes between each skin drop.
Strong and weak signal drops seem to have separate cool-downs for drops and seperate daily/bi-daily limits.

May require some setup. Still in testing.

No longer dependant on Projector methods Keen plans on removing.

Vanilla ~ No mods required

The amazingly informative instructions read as follows:
#1 *REDACTED*
#2 Locate the Cat-Oh-Lith (It's This Thing). 
#3 Locate Access Aperture on Cat-Oh-Lith.
#2 Inset a Suitable limb into Aperture.
#iiv Click the Ominous Glowing Button.
#G $Parse_Err: 'DATA_EXPUNGED'
#7 PROFFIT!!!


Update:
It works again after Keen added something that screwed up the way projectors work.
For some reason Projectors kept forgetting their assigned projection. I fixed this by never turning them off which isn't ideal but that was the only option.

Update2:
It works again! After keen did something... that screwd up... the way projectors work...
Have I been here before?

Update3:
It looks like with the release of the major update V2 is dead. V3 is the way forward, though it sudders horrible from welding speed limits. I'll work on improving this further and figuring out some way to let it grind down and welld up at the same time.
It appears there have been changes to the projector block methods which may offer new options... Research pending.

Update 4ish!
So the shape of grinders cut zone changed every so slightly. Ever so slightly being enough to make them rip appart the rotor head of the spindol and cause the Cat-Oh-Lith to eat itself. To get around this I have had to revert to a vertical grinder arangement and redo the lower housing to account for this. I appologise for the redesign but it was this or reduce speed to half yet again and go with an asymmetrical grinder arangement.

The strong and weak singal sub-grids are found here but hopefully should not be required.
