SkyratBot 5fdf13293f [MIRROR] Crushers and PKAs: Coop Upgrades (#26882)
* Crushers and PKAs: Coop Upgrades (#81940)

## About The Pull Request

This PR makes 2 changes, one to the crusher and one to the PKA

Crushers: Their projectile no longer overrides eachother, so a mob can
have the blue bubble from several crushers. Triggering it will only
trigger the one that you own, so each player has to go hit the mob to
strike.

PKA: Fixed the minebot passthrough upgrade, and also adds a human
passthrough upgrade. They are incompatible with eachother, so you choose
between solo+minebot or coop, which is a compromise I thought as a
better alternative to taking mod space (the minebot passthrough
currently takes none). This upgrade is available solely at the mining
vendor, for 750 points.

## Why It's Good For The Game

The new mining has been great, and one thing I love is that it
encourages more coop play. Excavating boulders with other miners is much
more engaging and has good teamwork in it, and also is a good way to
encourage miners to stick together more and even fight megafauna in
pairs.
This hopes to make that easier to do, because currently having anyone
with a crusher is sort of a detriment to the whole team. Either the PKA
dude will accidentally shoot the crusher user while they're going in for
a melee kill, or 2 crusher users will be constantly erasing the mark of
the other. This will hopefully make that aspect better, and make mining
with friends a little better.

## Changelog

🆑
balance: Crusher marks no longer overwrite eachother, fauna can have one
from each crusher.
balance: Ash drake's crusher trophy no longer affects people the same
faction as you (like hiero trophy), so you won't friendly fire people
with it.
add: Added a new upgrade: Human Passthrough. You can shoot your PKA
without having to worry about friendly fire with this, for 750 mining
points at your mining vendor.
fix: Minebot passthrough upgrade now properly makes PKAs pass through
minebots.
