Tweaked a hell of a lot of silicon code to make synthetics better.
Synths with scrambled codes that prevent them from being on robotics computers will now appear on Merc camera networks.
Both variants of the engineering borg can now deploy the malf borging machine.
Medical borgs no longer get polyacid sprays, instead getting Wulumunusha CMO Hyposprays, which cause muteness.
You must now be on help intent to use items like crowbars and screwdrivers on borgs. Otherwise you hit them with it.
Xenomorphs are pretty much badly done and don't really fit at all. This pr fully removes the human type ones, alongside with the infection, eggs and facehuggers.
This PR will lead us towards the Promised Day, for in its wake there shall be much celebration and ecstasy as this world becomes a world suitable for developer hegemony. The first strike is thusly;
All << is converted into to_chat().
* Repaths eyes, observers, dview, and new_players to /mob/abstract subtypes.
* Adds /mob/abstract, a base type for 'abstract' mobs that aren't meant to be directly affected by the game world.
Added a Humanize() proc that converts from lesser to greater form.
Made Monkeyize(), Humanize(), handle_post_spawn(), and set_species take a 'keepgenes' argument that tells whether or not to keep or override the gene for lesser or greater form.
Fixed what I presume is a typo in defining the 'hard' genetics bounds.
Made MONKEYBLOCK actually functional.
Updates Bump() code.
Intents now use constants.
Simple animals can now use languages without overriding say().
There is now a difference between being able to smash normal and reinforced walls.
Reworks simple_animal/attackby so that constructs don't need to override it simply to add damage resistance.
Fixes runtime when a borg is reset.
Fixes issue where /proc/select_active_ai_with_fewest_borgs() would not always return the intended AI.
Fixes issues with new borgs spamming the master AI with creation messages under some circumstances.
Continues the wiring upgrade. Now cameras, airlocks, robots, and air alarms also use the new wire datum system.
Global wiring code is now removed but there are sneaky objects which didn't rely on them such as mulebots and autolathes.
Fixes a few issues from the previous upgrade.
AIs and borgs now share law statement procs, rather than have 95% identical code variants.
Improved handling available law-statement channels. Now lists all available radio channels + any additional variants (such as "Binary", "Holopad", etc.)
Fixes a bug where synths could not state laws on the binary channel due to improper return-value.
First pass on major conversion of xenomorphs to a human subspecies. Additional condensing of various redundant mob verbs.
Converted larva and diona to their own class, collapsed the rest of xenomorphs into a human species, other stuff.
Completely removed attack_alien(). Still have to reimplement some of the lost behavior for human/alien.
Reapplies lost attack_alien() functionality other than tackling/caressing.
Further alien/humanoid cleanup and xenospawn fix-ups. Also uncommented caste verbs.
Removed half-finished abilities system since species.dm handles it.
All xenomorphs functionality should be working now, other than the HUD, tackling and the xenomorph balance issues.
Added icons for xenomorph castes, moved broadcast languages into datums, removed alien_talk and robot_talk vars.
Merged with organ removal code.
Reapplied verbs to simple_animals/slimes. Updated species definitions to have appropriate organs.
Readded tackle as a human verb.
Borer changes regarding brain removal.
Working on moving the human HUD to the species datum a bit. Mixed results.
Moved Cortical Link to a language, added borer husks.
Tidied up the HUD stuff. Still need to make it rebuild properly when species is changed, but this will do for no
Compile fix, forgot the DME.
Fixed up ventcrawl, added new organ mechanics for dionaea.
Fixed up some overlooked sections causing mobs without brains to die immediately.
Fixed up plasma generation for queens, bugs with organs, force_organ issues with set_species().
We discovered that most of the problems were were having was because of BYOND passing lists (e.g. SE and UI) by-ref instead of the assumed by-val.
This commit adds dna.Clone() and (UI|SE).Copy() where needed. These should be used where DNA or SE/UI lists are COPIED, otherwise changes made in the reference will affect the real strand.
This change also messes with the gene activation logic.

DNA now stores blocks internally as numbers and only makes the uni_identity and struc_enzymes strings when something has changed. This is vastly more efficient.
In addition, the API for using it has been simplified. Common tasks, such as setting a sub-block, or getting a value from the block, are handled entirely by the DNA datum with simple, easy-to-use procs.
Tested on local server, but may need balancing and additional look-over since the code is from our server (/vg/) and I likely broke or forgot something.
