[CLOSED PR] Adds viscorgans to the medical fabricator
#19

It's easy for martians to mold, reshape, and build with is, because they are it and it is them. It's incredibly out of place to me for a fabricator to be able to sculpt viscerite into working organs-- humanity's not been shown being able to do something like that before AFAIK.

Oh an excuse to talk about lore, I will happily take this. I'll admit, this is a bit of a shift with how viscerite is currently in game, but honestly that's mostly because viscerite doesnt do much currently. Jones is canonically made out of viscerite, but that is half due to a self admittedly shitpost of a pr. In general, the way I perceive viscerite is "martian super stem cells". "Raw" viscerite doesnt do much besides grow and absorb nutrients, but it's capable of being shaped to an incredibly diverse degree. I remember aph for example playing around with kingsway having advanced tools being made out of viscerite below the surface, and also you can clone humans with viscerite. I don't think its out of line lore wise for viscerite being capable of being shaped to make incredibly shoddy experimental organ replacements considering we can do the same with plants.

I definitely want this to be a viable option. I intend on making viscorgans way worse in general (specifics TBD but probably a reverse of the cyberorgan differences), so if you want to be kind to your patient, spending the time harvesting regular organs will help them out. It's important to note without mining, there's no other way to get viscerite. This means that without mining you're looking at ~6 organs you can print out max. This number may be too high but this can easily be changed. I'm not against tossing a corpse in morgues roundstart specifically for encouraging this.
