Ghom 1aad3e118c You can now link fishing portal generators to other fishing spots. (#86291)
## About The Pull Request
You can now interact with the fishing portal generator with a multitool
to load it in the buffer and subsequently link fishing spots to it by
tapping them with the same multitool. The maximum number of fishing
spots that can be linked at once depends on the tier of the matter bins
of the machinery. Normally, while you can link fishing spots from other
z-levels, they can only be activated if they're on the same z-level as
the machinery (or if both are on station for multi-z stations). This
limitation can be bypassed by upgrading the machinery with a tier 3 or
higher capacitator.

While it's possible, I'm not spriting new fishing portal overlays and
icons for the radial menu for every fish source out there (yet). The
code is enough work for now.

This also comes with a unit test, because there is no such thing as too
many unit tests for fishing.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Fish portal generators are designed to let players fish a different
bunch of things while being able to be moved wherever you like, unlike a
lake or an ocean, with all the comfort of being able to able to catch
fish from distant locations. Allowing players to link other fishing
spots to it fits its design. It also means that you can go out and
explore, find more fishing spots and then return to the station without
having to detach yourself from the ongoing round for several more
minutes.

## Changelog

🆑
add: You can now link fishing portal generators to other fishing spots
with a multitool. The number of fishing spots that can be linked at once
and whether the link can be activated from different z levels depends on
the tier of the stock parts it's built with.
