Mechanic Talent Rework

The fifth of the talent reworks of mine, almost done now. This one obviously being for Mechanic, honestly not as many changes this time around, rather minor ones for the most part with some balancing, more talent options to choose from where it was single before and some redesigns here and there to add more flavor.

Huge shoutout to Battle Engineer for archiving the old talents in "Old Talents" as it made Tinkering hell of a lot easier to bring back without scouring source code to try and reassemble it.

Reworked Talents:

Generic Basic Talents:(Buffed one of the most lackluster talents I think this game had as well as buffs to few others and added repair based talent as an early game option as well as a "sister talent" to the Engineer's Brain Over Brawn.)
[1]It's A Wonderful Life: While the ship is over 75% flooded, gain 25% Hull Repair Speed. After repairing a device, if you repair 2 more devices within 45 seconds, gain 50% Repair Speed for 2 minutes.

Unlock Recipe: Safety Harness.
[1]Salvage Crew: Unchanged.
[2]Ironman: Whenever you open a container in a wreck for the first time, you have a 15% chance of finding additional Iron. Whenever you deconstruct Iron Ore, you have a 15% chance to gain double the output.

[2]Oiled Machinery: Unchanged.
[2]Pump N Dump: Unchanged.
[2]Retrofit: Unlock Hull Upgrades as if your submarine is one tier higher. Does not stack with multiple of the same talent.
Tools you fabricate are of 1 higher quality.

Scrapper Tree:(Just a little buff to Miner which is now an optional talent, while Scrap Savant has been made the first talent in the tree as well as changed to now have a unique gimmick for gaining random items.)
[1]Scrap Savant: Can find up to 3 Scrap Piles inside Wrecks, which can be dismantled by hand to obtain scrap and other materials.
[2]Mass Production: Unchanged.
[2]Residual Waste: Unchanged.
[3]Miner: Whenever you deconstruct an ore, you have a 20% chance to gain double the output. Detach ores 100% faster with cutters.
Stackable materials can have +1 items per stack in your inventory.
[3]Tool Maintenance: Unchanged.
[4]Iron Storm.: Unchanged.

Handyman Tree:(This talent tree has been renamed from machanist purely because of the removal of Robotics pretty much, added a new option for a upgraded welding tool and brings back Tinker tinkering, as in THE tinkering from old, changed to be less powerful overall but still, TINKERING IS BACK, and as such I've renamed the faker Tinkerer to Durable to avoid confusion.)
[1]Hull Fixer: Unchanged.
[2]Durable: You can repair mechanical devices 40% past their normal maximum condition. (This is just a renamed talent to avoid confusion)
[2]Quickfixer: Unchanged.
[3]Let It Drain: Build portable pumps and install them where you need them. You can only install a maximum of 2 of this item on your submarine.
Unlock Recipe: Portable Pump.
Gain an additional Repair Speed.
[3]Patchwork: Unlock Recipe: Heavy Welder.
Gain an additional 10% Hull Repair Speed.

You can tinker with a pump, increasing its pumping rate by 200%.
You can tinker with a engine, increasing its torque by 75%.
You can tinker with a loader, increasing the connected turret's firing rate and damage by 10%, while lowering its power usage by 10%.
You can tinker with a fabricator or a deconstructor, increasing their operating rate by 125%.
You can tinker with fabricators and deconstructors indefinitely.
The device is only affected for as long as you keep tinkering it.
You can tinker for 15 seconds. After you have tinkered with a device, you cannot tinker for 25 seconds.

Brawler Tree:(Revamped a bit to replace the meme level bad talent as well as give a bit more variety in how you choose to pummel things.)
[1]I Am That Guy: Inflict 20% more Blunt Force Trauma damage with melee weapons. Gain a bonus of 20 to Bonus Weapons Skill.
[2]Heavy Lifting: Aiming with a melee weapon increases damage on the next swing by up to 50% over 3 seconds.

+20% Melee Damage Dealt.
[3]Mudraptor Wrestler: Unchanged.
[4]MECHanic: While in open sea and wearing an Exosuit, gain an additional 5% Physical Damage Resistance.
Unlock Recipe: Exosuit. (Exosuit has been minorly nerfed, I wanted to focus more on it being a hulking overkill suit is still very cumbersome, but right now it's just as fast as regular diving suits so I decreased it's speed to still keep its insane protection it's known for, but have it sacrifice something in return for all that protection.)
