A pull request commissioned by the Synthetic Lore Team to
comprehensively rework synthetics (read: IPCs) and how they work in
Aurora. The objective is to make IPCs as unique as possible from humans,
upgrading the robotic feel and atmosphere, while also preserving a good
sense of balance in-game.
Key features:
- A comprehensive expansion of synthetic organs, all of which now
fulfill a purpose: hydraulics, cooling units, power systems, actuators,
diagnostics units.
- Customizable organs with benefits and drawbacks, such as with cooling
units and power systems.
- Unique ways to repair the organs and more involved steps.
- Unique damage mechanics - every organ has wiring and electronics which
affect its functioning, and they are defended by plating which provides
natural armour.
- Improved and immersive diagnostics.
- Unique features, benefits, and drawbacks for every IPC frame.
- A rework of the positronic brain, which can be either destroyed or
shut down, alongside effects caused by low integrity.
- A rework of how EMPs affect IPC organs.
- Non-binary damage states for each organ.
To-do:
- [x] Finish the unique features for each frame.
- [x] Look into if mechanical synthskin is possible.
- [x] Power system.
- [x] Posibrain mechanics.
- [ ] Passive cooling expansion.
- [x] EMP mechanics.
- [x] Repair mechanics.
- [x] Mob weight mechanics.
- [ ] Gurney for heavy mobs.
- [x] New augments.
- [ ] IPC tag scanning and flashing.

OpenDream's `EmptyBlock` pragma had a bug that prevented it from firing
in certain cases of empty `for()` loops. That has been resolved and it's
uncovered a few issues with your code.
Please merge this ASAP as it has no impact on current behavior (besides
saving CPU cycles) and the bad code is currently blocking OpenDream CI
for the linked PR.
First round of tuning after the addition of new electrical storms,
changes in behavior, etc. Details in the changelogs, but apart from
general balancing of event weights and effects, this PR also expands the
description info on Telecomms machinery to communicate that you need to
use Nanopaste to repair them (which I don't think was documented in-game
anywhere), and also adds a stack of Nanopaste to the TComms vestibule to
facilitate repairs if no one is around to produce the stuff.
Also you can beat Telecomms machinery with a stick to start garbling
them now! Take that, Medical channel!
There will probably be another round of balancing after this to make
sure the events all feel and play maximally right/fun.

Some functional updates to events:
**Comms Blackouts:** Now has a variant (min. 6 pop,
engineering-weighted) which gives each machine a 10% chance to take a
little integrity damage. Additionally, Telecomms Processors now factor
their integrity damage into their ability to decompress messages, so
this alternative comms blackout might cause radio transmissions (either
global or for a given department) to start getting a little garbled- not
enough to genuinely impede comms, but enough to justify Engi to fix them
up.
**Prison Break:** Given how rarely we actually have people sitting
around in the prison waiting for breakouts over the course of a given
round, this event has been changed to be more akin to the existing
Containment events- the entire department (minus armory, nuke storage,
checkpoints, etc.) are at risk of lights blown, access issues, etc. Just
a little more variety added to the mix.
**Space Vines:** Minimum 4 pop to fire. Shouldn't matter much in the
grand scheme of things, just reduces annoyance factor for extremely
low-pop if they roll some vines that fuck them up. Will look into
refactoring that event so that the danger factor of the vines increases
with population, and remove the min pop requirement again.
**Drone Revolution:** Minimum 4 pop to fire. Again, shouldn't matter
much in the grand scheme of things but this highest tier event will
seriously fuck up anyone who latejoins and uses the maints to, say, help
set the ship up during low pop! No I'm not salty!
**Electrical Storm:** Refactored this and restored the Mundane and Major
variants. While we want this event to keep Engineers on their toes and
provide openings for people to break regs if they so wished, most of the
event is theater (lots of flickering lights now!) While the Mundane and
Moderate variants are mostly flavorful and will just give Engineers a
few excuses to visit different departments and RP with people, Major
events will be your 'all hands on deck' affairs (as Major events are
ought) and in very rare circumstances could even cascade into more
serious issues. Did a ton of unit testing on this and feel very good
about how each variant actually looks, will make any additional tweaks
if needed once we see how it plays with an actual population!
The Event Probabilities sheet was also very out of date, missing Comet
Expulsion, had the old Viral Outbreak, lots of old values, etc. Updated
all the events, and also updated the % formulas to factor in minimum
population- changing the 'Assumed Personnel' values at the top to a
level below the minimum population for a given event will now correctly
set its probability to 0%, making it clearer what actual odds are given
different pop levels.
I also don't think pop_needed was working correctly: various changes in
there to get it behaving.
Obv this PR grew in scope from outset and touches a small handful of
different things, so lmk anything to mix and match and change and drop.
!review
Electrical Storm event does nothing because it checks for valid target
APCs in SSmachinery, but SSmachinery currently doesn't hold a list of
APCs to use. This PR correctly registers APCs on init and unregisters
them on destroy so that Electrical Storms will actually upset Engineers
now.
This should proooobably come with an IG bulletin on the discord or
something warning engineers that their shit will actually get rocked
(especially since its kind of weird in-universe that electrical storms
that used to Do Nothing actually have an impact) now).
The announcement system just got an upgrade.
Also made the delta siren more concerning.
And made a custom slightly annoying sound for the night mode announcement.
-Makes a lot of unsuitable events excluded from faking. Some of them could do with reworking to make them function, like the infestation and prison breaks, but for now i just had to exclude them
-Adds an In-character/descriptive name, used for the announcement apologising for the mistake
-Fixes an issue where using debug Trigger Event verb would fill the events list with empty severe events and cause runtime errors
The old one still exists, mainly so the associated admin buttons still work.
At some point I'll add a nice little panel for event stuff and remove the old procs.
event.dm is pretty well commented, and it should be pretty easy to figure it out.
Casualties of the change are space dust (which should probably be implemented separately if we want it back), the black hole event (which was awful), space ninjas (which didn't turn up), ionstorms (the non-admin ones sucked anyway) and CLANG, which I will probably add at some point, if no one else does first.
Also, I removed pierott's throat from the disease outbreak list. f that s.
Thanks to Sukasa and BS12, as my system is loosely based off of theirs.
Thanks Giacom for help with structuring and especially commenting this.
