add: Added new available items to all departmental protolathes. Keep an eye out for the new "Basic Tools" and "Basic Security Equipment" research nodes.
tweak: Made the AI surveillance upgrade available through the "Illegal Technology" research node.
tweak: Created a "Tool Designs" lathe subsection and moved most tools into it.
balance: Made defibrillators easier to print by moving them to the basic biotechnology research node.
fix: Health analyzers are now properly printable once researched.

tl;dr I've heard a fair amount of complaints about departmental lathes that can be summed up with "cluttered sections, too few useful or interesting items in some lathes".
I'm trying to improve it with the following:
A) Added a new category called "Tool Designs" and grouped all tools into it. That way, they no longer clutter up the Equipment/Medical Designs sections.
B) New lathe contents:
Medical:
Surgical tools, included in the "Basic Tools" node.
These fit way better into the Medical/RnD lathes instead of a public one that also prints dishware.
Basic 50u and large 100u beakers, roundstart.
Medical spray bottles, printable with basic biotech.
Compact defibrillators, printable with Advanced Biotech.
They're fairly expensive, but obviously superior to regular defibs.
Service:
Botanical tools, printable with Basic Tools.
Spray bottles and bear traps, printable with sanitation tech.
Basic 50u and large 100u beakers, roundstart.
Security:
Seclites, pepper sprays (empty), energy bolas, zip ties, evidence bags, flashes. Printable with the new "Basic Security Equipment" node.
I've had a look at weapons as well, but the ones that aren't printable/ingame yet are either ballistics or unbalanced.
Science:
Mechanical/electric tools, printable with Basic Tools.
Illegal technology unlocks the AI surveillance software upgrade.
Installing it on an AI lets it listen to conversations through cameras.
Engineering:
Artificial bluespace crystals, alien alloy.
This is neccessary in case engineers have to rebuild a teleporter, but miners haven't brought back any bluespace crystals.
Mechanical/electric and atmos tools, printable with Basic Tools.
All lathes:
Hand labelers, destination taggers and wrapping paper.
This lets crew mail packages when the mail office isn't manned (which is 24/7).
Illegal technology unlocks Donksoft refill packs.
You can't build the Donksoft vendor without refill packs; not including them was an oversight in my earlier PR.
