This PR updates the repo fully to Byond 516.1673. We now have access to
Associative Lists, Vectors, Matrices, and a huge number of math
improvements tha will allow us to catapult the repo into a new era of
simulationism.
I have tested this PR to verify that it works.

Slightly increases potency of Spacevines random seeds, and increases
range of areas which can spawn them.
Makes Comet Expulsion event populate a whole bunch of meteors on the
overmap, but most of them are just traveling in random directions. Makes
it less trivial for bridge crew to just scoot one tile to the left and
everything's fine. Tested it multiple times on local instance to find
numbers that tended to make the overmap dangerous, but not bullet-hell
levels. It should be okay for the Horizon to get hit once or thrice-
dodging them all ought to be a really nice trick. Also increased minimum
spawn distance from the edges of the overmap on round start to prevent
comet spawn from deciding 'hey fuck you' and nuking you with 4 meteors
to the face and 0 time to maneuver. That's too mean, even for me.
changes:
- balance: "Spacevines event has more area types to potentially spawn
in."
- balance: "Spacevines event potency_min increased from 70 -> 85."
- balance: "Comet Expulsion event chances slightly increased with
greater weighting towards Bridge Crew availability."
- balance: "Comet Expulsion event now generates many overmap hazards,
mostly in random directions, to make evasion less trivial."
- balance: "Comet Expulsion event meteors now have a small chance to do
greater damage."
- balance: "Horizon and other overmap visitable sites minimum spawn
distance from overmap edge increased from 2 to 4."
- qol: "Provided additional admin logging for Comet Expulsion event."
Because I'm not game to try to rewrite the entire system, this PR
changes the Communications Blackout event to, instead of hitting every
tcomms box with EMP effects, toggle a flag on the Processor units to
scramble all comms. The effect will be that instead of not transmitting
at all, radio communications will just come through as pure static
gibberish. Once the event is over, it will toggle the flag off. In the
event of the telecomms boxes still failing to come back, anyone with the
vv permission can easily restore the processors by editing the
"ion_storm" variable from true to false.
Few misc other fixes, see changelogs
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
See title. Adds additional requirement of a minimum 8 pop to Greimorian
Infestation events to reduce common lowpop headaches.
Set min pop reqs for events to 1, reduce the likelihood of the Horizon
turning into a genestealer-infested space hulk during long uptime.
Turned a ton of unmanaged globals into managed globals.
Refactored some UT output.
Removed some unused things, including vars.
Added a test to ensure people don't keep adding new unmanaged vars.
Fixed the APC damage event not working.
APC damage event now has actual damages instead of merely emagging the
APC.
Added APC damage event of level moderate and major to the rotation.
Added a comet expulsion event, coming towards the main map, if not
dodged causes some meteors that then explode, the explosion power can be
reduced by shields.
Some DMDocs, code cleanups and other things noone else cares about.

PDAs are dead, long live PDAs. All trace of old PDAs has been scoured from the codebase, and in its place are modular computer PDAs that are feature-equivalent. Essentially every PDA function except the Syndicate detonation feature and Notepad has been ported over, and battery life for handheld computers has been boosted alongside the addition of charging cables to make things easier.
-Almost all aspects of virology and it's related machinery and objects have been purged from the code and map.
-Most of disease code has been purged. Some pieces of it remain as holdovers because they would require extensive rewrite of defines and codes for things like nanite robot transformation and appendicitis (that frankly isn't necessary)
-The outbreak event has been purged, as has the virology malicious code event variant.
-The Virology department has been remapped into the Abandoned Sector.
Changed the spawning mechanics of hivebots and expanded their roster with three new types, Bomber, Guardian and Harvester.
Tweaked the slime infestation event to be a bit more colorful and spawn a couple more slimes than currently.
Made it so infestation events no longer trigger outside the station at shuttle docks,, inside xenobiology cells, substations, at centcomm or outside etc.
Fixed the prison break event from not working correctly with virology, added a chance for it to happen at the bridge.
Fixed some announcements missing their custom titles. Particularly those used by random events. Tweaked their font and size.
Overview
Makes it so that the infestation overhaul is better coded and works better with any station. Instead of picking from a set of 8 areas (2 which don't exist) it picks from any of the station areas without players currently in them.
It also removes some of the more dumber spawns (yithians who exist in the sea, and diyaabs which I don't fucking know.), and replaces them with even dumber spawns such as BLUESPACE BEARS and HIVEBOTS.
Details
Spawns are based on event severity. A minor severity spawns mice and lizards. A moderate one spawns space bats and baby slimes. A major one spawns bluespace bears and hivebots. The chosen spawns can be any area on the station, however some places are limited. The limitation is based on area as well as if there are any players currently present in the area. Don't want bluespace bears to teleport on people.
Converts the news network into a subsystem
Loads news from a database at the start of the round
No longer ties the PDAs to the tcoms system to access the news (which was broken anyway)
Removes the trivial news event
Adds the already existing virology / xenobiology containment events to the rotation
Changes cargo to be based on credits instead of items
The following is still ToDo:
Test SQL Loading + Add flyway migration
Add changelog
Restore the PDA Application
CHANGES:
Spiders will no longer create massive stacks of cocoons under dead comrades. Fixes#2448
Limbs infested with spider eggs will now take longer to burst. When they do burst, the limb is gibbed.
Infested limbs will give out more warning now past a certain stage.
Modified the spider event. The moderate severity one will now no longer spawn nurses, so they can't multiply.
Added a major severity spider event. It spawns more spiders than the moderate severity one along with nurses.

Tweaks event probabilities, adjusting the major event distribution (rarer bears), raising some others and slightly reducing the overall chance of major events.
This PR is intended to make working in cargo more interesting, and more like a real warehouse experience. IE, the place is an aladdin's cave full of wierd knicknaks and useful oddifies.
