MultiTools are no longer non accessible via the public autolathe in cargo

[AIUNBOLT]

About The Pull Request

Multi tools should be printable from any autolathe now

Why It's Good For The Game

Most servers have the multitool accessible via public autolathes and is proven a non issue + it had no reason to be a private item in the first place.

This overall looks like a bad idea, since the secure lathe is intended to be more restrictive. If you really want to add on things that it doesn't have, you'd be better off replacing mapping spawned secure lathes with normal lathes instead. Otherwise, the restriction to make hacking less obviously available is intended, ignoring that you can just get it by asking cargo/engineering/science/security nicely since they can get it via the science/engineering protolathes, and security on most stations has a normal autolathe. ALSO, you can get it by chance if you loot garbage piles in maints.

autolathes don't really print anything Powerful or immensely valuable, only reason to make lathes not private is to make the crew interact with cargo by asking the random guy at the desk to print you something then waiting 5s for them to get it for you (top tier rp experience we should have to do this) so it really doesn't matter too much therefore public lathes are a blessing.

Otherwise, the restriction to make hacking less obviously available is intended,

hacking is very risky to do without insuls (blocked behind engineering & cargo) and let's be real most techs & qms etc dont want to sit there printing for people, they may even be territorial or busy and this inconveniences players attempting to gain items from it.

ALSO, you can get it by chance if you loot garbage piles in maints.

this is RNG and shouldn't justify not making multi tools public nobody wants to rummage through maints looking for a multi tool of all items.

Not against this but FYI, you don't need a multitool to hack at all. Just yesterday I pulsed some wires on a vendor without a multitool. The only functions exclusive to multitools are:
• Seeing the amount of power currently flowing through a piece of wire.
• Linking tcomms and the ore silo.
Print two signallers, buy them from the vendors, or loot them from maintenance. Attach one signaller to the wire, and send a signal with the other signaller to pulse the wire the other signaller is attached to.

signal hacking is way less efficient.
