Mechanite Plague v1.5.2.1

Balance:

Mechanite Plague v1.5.2

New Content:
- Added Chaos Shells, the logical evolution to mortar-based warfare.
- Added a separate research for the Chaos Launcher. With Plagued Mortar Shells, this also unlocks the Chaos Shell.
- Added rulesStrings to all of the mod's research projects, which means they can now spawn as part of Schematics.

Balance:
- The price of Chaos Launchers has been decreased. Mechanite Canisters required: 20 -> 12. Market Value: 1000 -> 800.
- Burster Cleanup now has no pre-requisite technology, allowing you to develop it without getting Industrial Plague Weaponry first.
- Plague Bionics is now Spacer-tier technology.
- Plaguetech Chainblades now require Plagued Blades research to craft.

Minor Edits:
- The Mechanite Medicine research is now called Mechanite Conversion. The Mechanite Conversion research is now called Advanced Mechanite Conversion.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug where I didn't properly crop the sound for Bursters emerging from pawns, so now it plays without a 0.5 second delay.
- Fixed a bug where all Bursters spawned at random years of age, instead of 0.

New Content:
- Added a tab description to the Mechanite Plague's research tab.
- ...That's it. Yeah.

Balance:
- Shamblers and Ghouls now have Mechanite Plague immunity. They're already rotten, so...
- Plague Dart Guns research price modified: 1500 -> 1000. For easier early-game access.
- Plague Mortar Shell research price modified: 1000 -> 800. For a single-item research, it's a bit expensive, right?
- Burster Disassembly research price modified: 1000 -> 2000. It's a late-game research, it should be a bit more expensive.
