Rebalance Robotic Modules + tools

[Noah Buttes]

Addendum to noah's post: Scrapping modules and starting from scratch is literally throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Wanna go find the last thread to do with cyborg research? You cant. It's been pruned. What's that say about it, or us?

I've been here long enough to know that when we start from scratch without a general consensus, the general path it takes is
A) The entire thing gets fucked and becomes feature barren.
B) The community gets annoyed.
C) The coder gets frustrated that the community is annoyed, repeat ad infinitum.

For an example, see materials.

This is the process I'd like to see: 
Shit is featureless --> Add features --> Rework bit by bit with added features
rather than
Shit is featureless --> Scrap entirely and start over --> Add features. 

The latter has been proven to not work.

This is pretty much true.

The only exceptions (maybe) that come to mind are replacing the singularity with a thermo-electric generator and cogwerk's chem rewrite.
