Use screws for construction

Description
Sick and tired of hunting for welding rods?
Screw that!
Have a bunch of screws lying around?
Use them!

Adds a new menu for metalworking allowing the use of screws instead propane, welder mask and welding rods.

Requires a cordless drill and a saw (garden saw is no good), as well as the other required materials.

The screw cost for a construction is equal to double the propane cost of the regular construction.

This mod requires The Workshop as a dependency. I am not the author of The Workshop, however I have sought permission from the author and am waiting for their response.

Known bugs:
- Drill sounds don't loop
- Turning a wall frame into a wall/window still requires propane
- Player character holds the drill funny

Future features:
- Using screws for wooden constructions in place of nails

Zombies are real - just look at the amount of people hypnotised by media propaganda. Karenapocalypse is a thing for a few years now.

Just gonna add that this would not work for real life welding. Welding rods are covered in a flux that releases a gas which allows for the heated metal to cool at a safe speed. It's certainly more convenient for a video game, but if one is looking for realism this wouldn't be the best option."

maybe a 'flux capacitor' is needed :) - joke

You really aught to have it so welded structures are stronger, granted I've used screws to attack metal bits IRL and its pretty tough but I'm speaking from a balance point, plus a single piece of metal will always be a lot stronger than something attacked with bits.

don't forget about the screwdriver as an option, depending on what you are building.

@NEP IS LIFE yes that's correct, you need to have a cordless drill and a saw
