Mothblocks d9b874197b Replace slime extract experiments, required for biotech, with dissection surgery (#63033)
About The Pull Request

Adds back dissection surgery for the purposes of performing experiments. Replaces the existing slime extract fetch quests with dissection surgery for biotech, and adds xenomorph dissection as an extra discount (though I would like to see a node require it some day).
Why It's Good For The Game

Science has no incentive to actually scan slime extracts for biotech, as the primary consumer is medical.

In practice, this means that the grey slime extract experiment, which can be done round-start, is frequently left unperformed. This lets medical have some level of control over their research, while still leaving the actual act of researching the node into the hands of the science department, or heads of staff.
Changelog

cl
add: Added back dissection surgery, which can be used with an operating computer to perform experiments for research.
add: Biological technology's requirement has been changed from scanning one grey slime extract to performing a dissection surgery.
add: Advanced biotech's requirement has been changed from scanning three slime extracts to performing a dissection surgery on a nonhuman.
add: Xeno-organ biology and Alien Biological Tools' now have additional discounts for performing a dissection surgery on a xenomorph.
