Automaton Overhaul

Automatons! Ever since I started playing Frostpunk my favorite 2 elements of the game was the Generator management and Automatons. The former was converted fairly well, but the latter? Not so much. It's only equivalent, the Automated Workforce Factory, is far from powerful like in the original game. What was once one of the most powerful resources in the franchise, reduced to just giving some workers at an absurd cost (especially the heating cost) and becoming obsolete in the late to mid game. I at least used it to somewhat automate Oil Colonies before the heating update...

Now, here are the statistics of each of the Automatons for anyone curious:

-All efficiency effects affect the District, however it can be upgraded to affect buildings as well.

-All automatons lower the workforce requirement in a district to zero (except for Integrated and the effect applies to buildings after upgrading)

Standard: 25% increase (same as emergency shifts)

Lightweight: 15% increase

Stormbreaker: 40% (70% during a Storm)

Integrated: 75%, requires workforce, +50 materials requirement for District and another 50 per building after researching the efficiency upgrade.



Please tell me if the mod makes the game crash, and any balance changes I should make. Most likely the severity of the efficiency effects.
