Mechanic fixing.

PDA device analysers now work as expected.
Groundwork for fabricators ignoring design requirements, which general fabricators now do for chems.
Item designs based on existing designs now properly generate a plastic requirement.
Sped up the flatpacker a little to balance its costs.
