Station with construction capabilities#112

Something that would be nice to have is some kind of station building that construction bots can reside in and go to build blueprints. For example if you have an outpost 10k+ out from your main base that has defenses that are slowly being wittled down, it’d be nice to have a local construction yard that has bots and produces the needed materials to repair any station blocks that get damaged or destroyed. Like if a wave comes in and manages to destory some walls, a turret, and a mining station, if these items reside in a storage either supplied by a local factory or cargo ship, the construction bots can go pick up the items and build the blueprinted ghosts of the destroyed station blocks.

Having construction and rebuilding capabilities be limited to the player fleet while the game encourages disconnected and spaced out stations can make maintaining your builds what you primarily do once you build big enough, most of it being spent flying around to damanged and destroyed stations. Which seems a bit coutner intuitive for a factory game
