Bit Helper

Description
An item letting you transfer bits to and from NPCs and convert bits back into scrap. Also lets you insta-disassemble "basic" scrap that you'd get from it so you're not stuck disassembling for ages. It can be found as a regular artifact, a data disk, or in a chest at the Grit Gate entrance outside the red force barrier. This totally isn't used to give bits to high tinker level NPCs or anything.

Quick warning! Issues might happen if you enable this on an existing save.
Qud sometimes "downgrades" a bit in a recipe. So instead of a recipe using a <5> bit, it might instead use <44>. This shouldn't happen if the mod's installed when you start a new game, but it might be the case in an existing save. A warning will popup if it happens. If it does, you should probably just transfer bits and not extract them to your inventory.

Has three bit input modes:

Basic: Bits are just entered direct as characters. Two <4> bits, seven <3> bits, and an <A> bit is entered as 44a3333333. The order doesn't matter.

Advanced: Enter a bit, then amount, then a space to the next bit. Two <4> bits, seven <3> bits, and an <A> bit is entered as 42 37 a1. The bit order doesn't matter as long as it's a bit, then amount, then a space before the next one.

All: Just does all bits with no input.

Let me know if there's any issues other than that bit downgrade in existing saves issue which I can't really fix as far as I can tell. This is my first time making a scripting mod for qud so there could be bugs.

@shanxidragon Good point. I'm not sure why I made the BaseScrap tag. Looking over it, I don't think using DefaultDisassemble will disrupt anything. Well I'm not sure why I did it that way, but it now uses DefaultDisassemble instead. Fingers crossed nothing weird happens.

Mainly using this mod for bulk scrapping items, but it didn't work until I patched the code. If anybody wants to do the same, replace BaseScrap in BitHelper.cs with DefaultDisassemble
