Implements bluespace mining, or: How to keep your lousy ore box at home.
While it may sound complex, it's actually fairly simple once you get it down. This is an attempt to make mining a little more 24XX, as well as introducing a way for mining drills to not be awful.
Bluespace mining is now possible, to do so, attach a warp extraction pack to a mining satchel, then a warp extraction beacon signaller to an ore box. Link them by clicking on the ore box with the satchel.
You can attach a linked mining satchel to a mining drill to teleport mined ores to the connected ore box.
Mining satchel beacons can be removed with a screwdriver, mining drill satchels by wrench, and ore box beacons by hand.
Just a couple small number changes to make mining with pickaxes and drills more viable and decrease the number of credits earned from selling materials. The idea here is to have more send to science and decrease the overall amount of credits spend on guns, or at least require a head of staff to pitch in with their department funds.
You can now destroy girders and walls with powerful items. It might take some time, though, and you'll probably be better off deconstructing it unless your weapon is strong.
Two-handed weapons no longer have that awkward Wielded sticking in front of the name when you wield them.
Girders now report their damage status on examine.
Turns the z-level restriction procs into macros
Changes z-level restrictions to use the macros
Use contact_levels for announcements (instead of player_levels)
Restricts the teleporter to station_levels instead of player_levels
Restricts AI tracking to station_levels instead of player_levels
Mechs only get tracking beacons if they are on station_levels (instead of player_levels)
Construction Drones gib if they enter a station level
Mining Drones gib if they leave the station levels
Removes the mining equipment vendor from the scrapheap
rscadd: "Added an engineering apprentice uniform, and overalls accessories to the miner, atmos tech, chief engineer and engineer lockers, as well as loadouts. They are equivalent to webbing vests."
rscadd: "Atmos tech lockers now start with blue hazard vests, and the wardrobe locker includes matching (non fire-safe) hard hats."
rscadd: "Added safety goggles with a new sprite with a verb to raise/lower them. The original goggles can be found as 'safety glasses'. Both are available under eyewear in the loadout tab."
imageadd: "Updated sprites for the engineer, CE, atmos tech, janitor, CT (incl. an alt uniform in lockers and loadout), quartermaster, and miner jumpsuits. Updated atmos fire suit sprite."
imageadd: "New utility belt (incl. alt sprite available in loadout), hard hat, engineering beret, sheet and ore snatcher, and hydrogen ore sprites."
imageadd: "New hazard vest sprites. Hazard vests can now be zipped up or left loose with an appropriate verb."
imageadd: "New atmos airlock sprites, new mining, atmos, and janitorial locker sprites."
also all sprites by AmoryBlaine I just unga dunga'd the code together
How to build machine blueprints!
Use steel sheets like normal, then rotate the frame how you like it using the directional arrow. From here use a Multitool to finalize it and then wire it up like you would before.
Made it so items get their pixel x/y reset on pickup.
Thrown items now also get their pixel placement slightly randomized.
Tweaked the center of mass on a boatload of items to be more accurate to their sprite art.
Replaced a bunch of randomized pixel placement code into a unifying proc; randpixel_xy() that uses an item's randpixel var.
What it says in the title. I tested it out on my server and it felt pretty good, definitely a step up from the pickaxe. If any of the mining players want to give me feedback or more stuff to add, hit me up at Geeves#8863 on discord.
Refactors objects.dmi and items.dmi
Adds some more uses to glass jar - now you can use it as a tip jar AND a reagent container!
you can also see reagents inside like a beaker
also improves sprites for wrapping paper and the pocketwatch
This basically makes it easier for future sprite improvements

Allow me to explain in the event someone potentially complains about this.
Each vein of ore in a single tile drops roughly 5 bits of that ore type. It doesn't matter if it's diamonds, coal or whatever else.
The problem with this, however, is that the ore summoner is only adjusted to grab 10 bits of ore and nothing else, making it inefficient and useless to buy in the mining vendor.
This was changed because of 'performance problems' (whether this is true I have no idea) but only 10 bits of ore is just ridiculous in my opinion, because it means it'll only draw from 2 veins mined out, which is not effective in the slightest. You'd be better off using the ore magnet right now.
Of course, this change hopes to change that so that this isn't a useless item to buy from the ore vendor and to (somewhat) restore it to its former glory. Albeit with a sanity check.
Overview
Adds thirst mechanics. Thirst mechanics work exactly like hunger mechanics where if you don't drink enough liquid, you become thirsty and move slower. Several other mechanics involving drinks were also changed.
For organic races, you gain hydration by consuming beverages and water. Water is the most effective way of hydrating yourself. IPCs are not affected by hydration and do not have to worry about it. If you overeat or overdrink, your nutrition decreases faster until you are of normal hunger and thirst levels.
Penalties for not eating or drinking are now more severe. If you refuse to drink or eat all shift, you will be up to 33% slower and take twice as much pain damage. The amount scales based on your hunger or thirst levels. If you are considered hungry or thirsty, it starts scaling until you're starving or seriously dehydrated. If you overeat and overdrink as well, you get a ~5% reduced movement and pain tolerance with each mechanic.
The icons for hunger have been updated to be more specific, and they match the new thirst indicators as well. https://i.imgur.com/QQbWxYI.png
You can now also inject beverages into your blood for x4 effectiveness. Before, IV dripping yourself with vodka did nothing but give you a small amount of toxins, but now it should be a hell of a party.
Dionaea can now be affected by beverages with respect to nutrition gains and temperature changes. Dionaea cannot be affected by some effects, such as stuttering and intoxication, still.
Healing effects for certain beverages (tea, milk) were removed. This a HRP server, milk shouldn't heal you.
This is honestly one of my biggest and most ambitious projects. I hope people are happy with this.
Custom kinetic accelerators are special, customizable mining weapons that are meant to give a sense of progression, and a sense of pride and accomplishment while mining. Each custom KA is made up of 3 or 4 parts:
The Frame (5 to choose from)
The Cell (5 to choose from, +1 traitor)
The Barrel (5 to choose from, +1 traitor)
The Upgrade Chip (7 to choose from, +1 traitor)
The sprites change with each addon, they are truly dynamic and there are so many combinations of parts that a miner can have. You can have several different builds for each desired mining style, it's quite a robust system.
You can have a KA that shoots slowly, but delivers high-penetrating shots that go through several walls of rock. You can have a KA that shoots REALLY fast, but precisely destroys 1 rock at a time. You can have an absolute canon of a beast, that destroys rocks in a 3 tile radius around it.
The parts can be obtained via research, via abandoned crates, or via RNG in the cargo warehouse. There are some custom KAs that spawn on the raider's ship, on the mercs ship, and a laser one on the merc's headquarters. That laser one can also be bought from the traitor uplink as well.
ERT get a class 4 KA for use in special operations, if they choose to use it.
Mining Map Changes
There is an easier way for paramedics/miners to traverse down zlevels, without the using of a mobile ladder. A new area is built for that purpose. Main level has a ladder going up and down to two different areas. Both areas are guaranteed to be connected to another airlock. Top level is connected to science, bottom level is connected to a cargo elevator. Atmospherics system in mining is more saner. The mining processor was made shorter, and 4 grates are guaranteed to spawn now for each miner slot, and contains it's own maintenance hatch for easy upgrades. Mining also now has its own requests console and disposals delivery destination. The industrial smelter is now twice as fast, however uses three times as much power.
Overview
This is just a misc fix PR to minor annoyances I encountered while playing on the server. This fixes the following:
Resisting from a chair unrestrained no longer adds a cooldown to activating objects.
Action figures are no longer massive, and only take up 1 slot in your inventory.
Boxing gloves can now be worn by any race.
The ore summoner can only move up to 10 ore at a time.
