Bluespace Harvester: Loot changes, Events, and more

[PollardTheDragon]

What Does This PR Do

This PR enhances the Bluespace Harvester station goal by not only giving it a much-needed refresh in terms of reward types, but also in measures of quantity and risk.

Firstly, it revamps the entire BSH loot pool. The new loot pools are split between the following categories:

• Clothing (Common, Uncommon, Rare)
• Food (Common, Uncommon, Rare)
• Cultural Artifacts (Common, Uncommon, Rare)
• Biological Artifacts (Common, Uncommon, Rare)

The three rarity tiers each have a drop chance of 60, 30, and 10 respectively. The full loot table with odds can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zdA9LA2NTo3qpFtzkRRsIVcVtA_nxBvQj_SH2_En3-w/edit?usp=sharing

Whenever an item is purchased from the BSH, it will have a chance to spawn a second item somewhere on the station - at one of the NAD spawn points.

The BSH will automatically spawn an item at set intervals, based on the type of item spawned. This should ensure that most things get a chance to roll, instead of hats being the only thing bought by impatient crew.

When the BSH reaches the goal amount, it will spawn a large number of goods both around the BSH and around the station - this is the big reward for it succeeding, so that it may benefit more than just engineering.

The BSH, during operation, has a chance to encounter new events that are announced over the engineering radio. These events include radiation leaks, gas leaks, electrical surges, and dirt hazards. They are more common the higher the power.

Why It's Good For The Game

The BSH is a rather stale objective for the station currently. While Engineering gets to have some fun with min-maxing their generator, the payoff ultimately isn't worth it and doesn't really benefit the station. With these changes, some additional risk is present, in exchange for a much greater payoff that should affect more than just the engineering department.

Testing

Hooked up a BSH. Gave it power. Set points beyond intervals to trigger automatic spawns. Set points to interval to trigger goal spawn. Checked NAD spawn locations for item spawns. Started events, saw gas/radiation/dirt/arcs.
