Research Data Patch

The idea behind this patch is to add a thin layer of difficulty to research, by rebalancing Research Data mods.
It's a personal patch that I choose to share, I stay open to suggestions to refine the balance.
Below is the list of changes.


Removing of the bonuses:

• The research sample bench is no more linkable
  
• The archotech analyzer is removed
  
• The schematics are removed

Changing the research samples recipes:

• Metallic research samples recipe requires Construction and Mining skills
  
• Fabric research samples recipe requires Animals and Crafting skills
  
• Research samples recipes require a skills level of 5 and a greater amount of work
  
• Expert research samples recipes require a skills level of 10

And more:

• The market value of items has increased
  
• Items are removed from trade and rewards

Rituals are rebalanced:

• Simple theory research uses a system close to Advanced theory research (assistant, intellectual skill up to 20...)
  
• Ritual outcomes are rebalanced, with a new result: Terrible
  
• The positive Hediff is lowered to 10%, and only apply on brilliant theory result
  
• A bad Hediff is added, associated with the terrible outcome. A shorter confused wandering can happens

And more:

• The market value of items has increased
  
• Items are removed from rewards
  
• Combined samples is removed from trade
  
• Theory papers and data are less common

Adding an Hediff to slow the research speed on failed outcome ; disadvantages would be it wastes bench fuel, and need more micromanaging.

Please, tell me what you think about it. I'm also curious to know if you still can stock theory/research papers/data without issue.

Right now, I didn't patched the compatibility patches, and I even removed a compatibility oddly implemented (why not by patch?).
On to do list if required.
