About The Pull Request

Plasma cutters can be used on resin doors without a delay similar to resin walls.
Closes #16471

Weeds no longer has any plasma cutter interaction (as a normal attack is good enough to kill the weeds).
Closes #15284

By default, trying to use a plasma cutter on a object while on harm intent will try to attack the object normally if possible.
Other intents (or if above doesn't do anything) will try to cut down the object (which comes with the standard 1000 charge cost).

The bonus damage/interaction between plasma cutters and xeno turrets have been expanded to all xeno structures, but now causes 100 charge per attack.

Why It's Good For The Game

  1. I got annoyed that I can't one-shot resin doors with a plasma cutter (its also a bug).
  2. I actually just wasted 1000 charge on cutting weeds on walls. I'm coping.
  3. "Starts cutting apart" spam is cringe.
  4. How come only resin walls (and resin doors later) are generally one-shot, but xeno structure (I'm looking at you, resin pod) requires me to smack it like 10 times with an active plasma cutter (which costs no charge atm).

Changelog

🆑
qol: Using harm intent with a plasma cutter on an object tries to attack it normally if possible. Other intents will try to cut it down.
qol: Xeno weeds have no interaction with plasma cutters and thus will not waste nor require 1000 charge on cutting it down.
balance: Plasma cutters now uses charge to deal additional damage to (more) xeno structures similar to how bonus damage is dealt to resin walls.
fix: Plasma cutters now attack resin doors just like resin walls.
