Trait Upgrader

Adds a structure (Trait Upgrader) that takes identical Traits and combines them, upgrading them to the next tier higher!

Allows for Traits found on wild creatures to be upgraded in the Trait Upgrader Structure. Use of the Trait Upgrader currently requires access to a Gene Scanner Weapon from Bob's Tall Tales DLC or related mod.

Trait Upgrader Engram unlocks at Level 89 and can be crafted in a Fabricator or Replicator. This mod is intended to remain true to game balance while adding bad luck protection in regard to Trait farming.

Future update plans include slight structure model improvements, compatibility with mods relating to traits, more config options, and the ability to downgrade traits.

TraitAmountForUpgrade=2

This changes the amount of traits of a type required to upgrade, defaulted to 2. Minimum is 1, and should be able to go up as high as you want. High numbers may cause issues.
