Slower Welding Speed

• Lowers the structurefixamount (welding speed) from 2 -> 1.1
  
• Raises the mechanics skill requirement of the welding tool from 50 -> 60

By default, repairing walls with a welding tool is incredibly quick, allowing a single person to repair an entire room in just a few seconds. This quick repair time can feel unrealistic and diminish the challenge of managing hull integrity. If that doesn’t sit right with you, this mod is for you.

By reducing the structurefixamount to 1.1 (1.1 felt better than 1.0 in practice), repairs now take roughly twice as long as they normally would. While this sounds like a huge nerf, in practice it feels very natural.

I have also raised the skill requirement for the welding tool from 50 to 60, making it slightly more important to have mechanics and engineers on hull repairs as opposed to just any random crew member.
