**Modular laser changes**
- tl:dr Shooting mod laser at a mob counts up an improvement potential
variable, which when the gun is disassembled, gets spread across the
components.
- When the components are repaired, by someone with high skill, there is
a chance to increase a variable, such as damage, shot count, accuracy.
- Players give the biggest increase, followed by non-player humans
(protohumans & mechs fall in this catagory), then simple mobs and
finally monkeys. Non combat modlasers improve slowly when used for their
intended task (betarays slowly tick up when shooting hydroponics bays)
The philosophy for these changes is that research should continue to be
involved with the equipment they give out.
It should also be difficult (but not impossible) for research to upgrade
their weapons without support from other departments.
Xenobio slimes, protohumans, medical help to keep the protohuman alive
while you shoot it, security help to actually use the guns on real
targets (this gives the biggest increases).
The more powerful a weapon is the harder it is to upgrade, as it'll kill
it's targets quicker. The more upgraded a weapon is the more difficult
it is to upgrade further, improvement potential will get wasted on
components that have already hit their cap.
On their own, by the time the 5 monkeys research start with are dead,
it's possible for a max skill scientist to improve one gun's worth of
components by ~25%.
The weapons research can now make at roundstart (with max tech) are
significantly worse than what spawns in the armoury.
The weapons research can make with gold, silver, uranium and phoron are
equal to what spawns in the armoury.
The weapons research can make with diamonds are better than what spawns
in the armoury.
Major nerfs to heat vents, auxiliary capacitor and capacitor overcharge,
these were the problem children.
It is now impossible to make a weapon that does not take damage through
use. Safe designs will only break with heavy use, by people who don't
bring them back to research for repairs.
Powerful designs break quickly and need repeated repairs.
Adds two side grade capacitors that can be made at roundstart (with max
tech), one higher damage and fewer shots. One lower damage and more
shots.
High skill characters get much more information when examining modular
lasers and a chance to throw the gun away before it explodes.
Adds some defines to help balance these changes:
Improvement cap (the total percent a component can increase) Currently
100%.
Increase & Decrease Cap, how much an individual variable can be
increased or decreased. Currently 2x and 0.2x.
Improvement multiplier, multiplies all improvement gains. Currently 1x.
**Firing Pin fixes & changes**
Fixed ID locked firing pins and adds them to R&D.
Adds the inner research department to the firing range locked pins. This
is so xenobotanists, xenobiologists & xenoarchs can use the modular
lasers. Freeze rays for slimes, betarays for xenobotanists, laser
activation for artifacts for xenoarch.
It is still impossible for a scientist to make a weapon they can use
anywhere, but they can give them to security who can use them freely.
**Misc bug fixes**
The weapon analyzer UI now updates and only shows relevant statistics,
instead of displaying every variable even when they do nothing.
Replaces the buggy tesla zap with just electrocuting the holder.
Fixes a few broken visual messages.
Fixes the vermin modulator not killing anything, now it also works on
grems.
Fixes click delay on malfunction.
Fixes radiation damage numbers.
Fixes the temperature modulator.
Fixes the report printout showing the wrong numbers.

Repaths obj/machinery to obj/structure/machinery. **Note for
reviewers:** the only meaningful changed code exists within
**code/game/objects/structures.dm** and
**code/game/objects/structures/_machinery.dm**, largely concerning
damage procs. With the exception of moving airlock defines to their own
file, ALL OTHER CHANGES ARE STRICTLY PATH CHANGES.
Objects, _categorically_, are largely divided between those you can hold
in your hand/inventory and those you can't. Machinery objects are
already subtypes of Structures behaviorally, this PR just makes their
pathing reflect that, and allows for future work (tool actions, more
health/destruction functionality) to be developed without unnecessary
code duplication.
I have tested this PR by loading up the Horizon and dismantling various
machines and structures with tools, shooting guns of various types
throughout the ship, and detonating a bunch of explosions throughout the
ship.
Adds:
- Dosimeter, keeps track of how many rads a person has absorbed as well
as showing the dose after armour.
- Adds a message to shelter in maint to the supermatter explosion.
- Adds a flag that makes damage not apply to robotic limbs, useful for
preventing radiation burns to metal parts. Should also be added to
chemicals that deal brute damage, such as arithrazine and the the burns
from chemical exposure to chlorine, but that's another PR.
- Added radiation resistance values to makeshift armour. As it only
covers the chest, this isn't very useful, but better than nothing.
Balance:
- Re-scaled radiation damage.
- Radiation now maxes out at 1000, from the previous 100.
- Radiation damage when at maximum rads is converted directly into burn
damage.
- Radiation sources decay slowly, so all the old numbers were maxing
people's radiation values instantaneously.
- Re-scaled organ damage from radiation. Previously you would take no
organ damage till 75% rads, then lose your liver almost immediately. Now
organ damage ramps up from 500-1000, with 750-1000 being about 1/3rd the
organ damage of 75-100.
- Added debilitating, but not lethal, effects to moderate and high
radiation levels. Lots of pain events instead of straight damage.
- Reduced speed and stamina for high radiation doses.
- Hyronalin and Arithrazine both remove much more radiation.
The intent: People should now be able to work in low radiation zones,
without using the radiation suit for short periods of time.
The geiger counter is no longer an 'if this is ticking you are at max
rads' detector.
With the engineering voidsuit, 75% rads, I could stand next to a charged
supermatter ~50rads a second, for about 2 minutes before I hit lethal
radiation levels.
If people stay in a radiation zone, or are exposed to extreme radiation
100+ rads a second, radiation is much more lethal, but not by just
killing your organs. Conventional medicine will help a lot.

This has zero reason to exist in our code base. We have no procs or
variables tied to this. I removed it to make future modifications
cleaner.

Adds the autopsy scanner to the protolathe. Available at bio tech level
3, which is where we currently start the round, and found udner the
biotech category. The material is matching with other similiar devices.

Logistics bounties sometimes asked for a "Heavy Duty Power Cell" which
was an item that was not actually manufacturable by the ship, and could
only be obtained by stealing them from the APCs they spawned in. This PR
adds the ability for protolathes to manufacture them directly, just like
the other upgraded versions of APC power cells.
* Added power cores, a type of large battery cell that get used by
exosuits. The nuclear and phoron variants are self-charging.
* Combat mechs now start with nuclear power cores, allowing them to
sustain themselves indefinitely, so long as they stay out of the action
for a bit.
* Removed basic power cells from the mechfab, replaced with the mech
powercores.
* Mech cell statuses now instantly update as soon as the cell charges or
discharges.
* Added a stack of 10 uranium to the machinist's workshop, which can
print two nuclear power cores.
Improved / refactored some code, particularly around RFD.
Added the ability for mining RFD to build the mining train engine and
carts.
Removed the RFD, carts and engine from the mining vendor.
Added the RFD as a roundstart printable protolathe design.
Made the mining vendor list a GLOB variable.
Resolved a runtime on vehicles trying to turn on without a cell being
present.
Mining vendor pizzas now have a random pizza subtype.
* Made several improvements to flashlights, and added a sprite for device cells
* CL
* Added lathe recipes, and made eCigs use device power cells
* Add another entry to CL
* Fix nested cell
* Added `desc_info` to all flashlights, to teach the player about removing the cells and turning them on.
* Update code/game/objects/items/devices/lighting/lamp.dm
* More cleanup
* Allow Flashlights to use rechargers
* Apply suggestions from code review

This pr adds a freeze ray gun. It works by reducing the mob's temperature until they freeze and get stuck inside ice for a while. The gun also has an alt-fire mode that fires ice bolt.
rscadd: "Handheld modular computers now use flashlights as a light source. They may be turned on/off via a button in the PC header, and have their brightness adjusted in Hardware Configuration."
tweak: Message notifications should be much larger.
tweak: "Chat messages are now logged to the NTNet Monitoring program."
bugfix: "IDs are now unregistered from computers when the computer is destroyed."
bugfix: "Fix Eject Battery having a global view range."
bugfix: "Chat Clients are no longer set to 'silent' by default."
backend: "Added a new slider component for VueUIs."
Closes#10439
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.
* Mitigates research recycling exploits by minimizing what can be recycled
* Moves the research design check into a new unit test
* Adds unit test for stack material recipes costs and fixes these costs
* Instead of changing recipes the resulting materials are worth less
* Crap fix
The RnD Console UI has been overhauled.
RnD levels are now a gradual progress instead of just leveling up, not much has changed, but deconstructed items now give more * Data disks now tell you what they contain.
The red scanning goggles now let you see examined items' tech levels.
RnD consoles should now open on the main menu instead of the research menu.
Ejected items from the RnD console and destructive analyzer now go into your hands if you're adjacent.
Converts reagents to use typepaths instead of IDs.
Centralises reagent spawning in a lot of places to use reagents_to_add instead of a variety of custom methods or initialise overrides.
The AI can now remotely control mechs in its network. It has one mapped in near its core.
Messages received by your old body will now reach your VR body (does not affect Skrell Srom).
Exosuit pilots can now interact with elevator panels without having to get out.
Robotics and RnD can now create remote controlled mechs. The control centre is in the protolathe, while the exosuit upgrade is in the circuit imprinter.
Mechs can no longer be dismantled if it has a pilot in it.
Dismantling a mech now takes a while.
This PR is pretty decent in size. The contents of changes are:
Modular guns rebalance:
Capacitors reliability was buffed: reinforced 80 -> 100, uranium 50 -> 60, teranium 45 -> 55, phoron 40 -> 50, bluespace 30 -> 45.
Added nano reinforced barrel which has 10 more reliability than reinforced barrel.
Added enhanced grip MK2, which has improved fire delay by 0.2 compared to MK1 grip.
Added stablity stock, which improves fire delay by 0.2 and accuracy by 0.5 compared to regular stock.
Added animations to lots of modular components like all capacitors, almost all modulators, lenses, etc.
Modular guns now have to be assembled inside of weapons analyzers. You cannot assemble them in hands anymore
Weapons analyzer:
Added machinery called Weapons analyzer. Main purpose of it is to display stats of any weapon or item. You can accepts anything that is an item, even trash(probably). For modular guns it will also display table of components and their statistics.
Modular guns now need to be assembled inside of weapons analyzer.
Added circuit board and ability to construct weapons analyzer in RND. Circuit board required tech: engineering = 3, data = 2, combat = 2.
Misc changes:
recharger and wall recharger now visually display on their icon how much charge is inside of weapon/gun that is being charged.
