Buildable Thump Cannon

Description
The new Termite thump cannon is cool as hell. There's a limit to how much stuff you really run into in vanilla that requires you to be able to saw your way through a mountain with a man-portable Charge Mortar Turret, but I found myself thinking that I'd love to be able to legitimately acquire one of these to use for myself.

This mod adds a new research project following Pulse-Charged Munitions which allows you to craft a variant of a Mechanoid Thump Cannon at the Fabrication Bench. It's heavy, it's slow, it's expensive, it'll absolutely shred any fortification or building you point it at no questions asked.

You get slightly better results aiming at the ground in front of a wall than directly on a wall, but it'll chew through anything soon enough. The pawn version doesn't fire quite as quickly as the original Mechanoid one wielded by the termites, but it hits just as hard and makes a great support weapon for assaulting enemy fortifications of any sort, and it has a respectable range.

No @Fluzzy, it only adds a recipe for the existing gun, it doesn't add it to anybody else.

Can it spawn on world/enemy pawns?

@Klutch You know, I don't think anyone's ever mentioned that before. It's something I could look into. I sort of just kludged this together in a half hour along with my other Thump Cannon mod after the breaching raids were released.

i added this mod in an existing save and i thought it didnt work because the raw materials didnt change into the "unfinished gun" item. good thing i had camera+ and zoomed in and the work bar was just filling really slowly.
