Add auto-repair to the CleaningRobots base #1

It would be awesome if you could make the robot base repair the robot itself when it returns to recharge. So the robot will only leave its base when its health and battery are maxed.

Thanks!

Hmm, I'll try to make some time and see what I can do. Do you have suggestions on the cost of repairing? It seems kinda cheaty if the robots can get repaired for free since humans and animals all require medicine and at least some recovery time.

If a robot at a charging station needs repairing, should it consume more electricity? Should the charging/repairing take longer? I'm happy to hear your thoughts on this.

What if you create something to attach to the robots base station? That thing would enable the robots auto-repair and would hold the materials to repair them (steel or plasteel). If possible, make it so they only use the resources needed. Healing 10% of health isn't the same as healing 80%.

If a robot at a charging station needs repairing, should it consume more electricity? Yeah!

Should the charging/repairing take longer? Yeah, it would make sense.

The thing is, if people can't afford to the robots to be repaired they should be able to do so.
