Description

The following error seems to occur on the client when a player ship is 'created' (i.e. undocks):

`[20240104-16:30:03] C:\work\builds\dalibs\dalibs-build\build\Src\EngBase\Engine\engine.cpp(817) : WARNING:General:Engine: create_compound_archetype: unable to create part archetype, ignoring...`

This might relate to mounted internal equipment, or may be a hardpoint issue with the ships. It doesn't seem to have any adverse effects, but would be good to investigate and clean up if we find ourselves short of things to do.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the warning when a player ship undocks, then inspect Src/EngBase/Engine/engine.cpp at line 817 and the create_compound_archetype entry point. Investigate whether mounted internal equipment or ship hardpoints cause the missing part archetype; done means identifying the cause and removing the warning without adverse effects.
