Heretic starting knowledge tweaks (#95551)
## About The Pull Request Codex Cicatrix and Warren King's Welcome are moved from starting knowledge to tier 1 knowledge. The Codex cannot appear in the draft, though Warren King's Welcome can. Warren King's Welcome received a rework, and now has additional effects: - Requires 10 cable, 1 paper, 1 multitool - Grants all IDs present on the rune + your worn/held ID access to `maint`, `external airlock`, and `heretic` - All nearby airlocks (7 tile radius, needs line of sight) have their access overridden to `heretic` access (+ai wire cut) Eldritch ID card also starts with "heretic" access (just for fun) ## Why It's Good For The Game 1. The Codex Cicatrix was originally designed as an investment - you'd put in points + effort + risk, and you'd get reward But over time I think every aspect of it has been toned down - It's free, so you no longer invest points - It's significantly easier to create, so it's basically no effort - You have x-ray when around a rift, so you can easily see if someone is nearby, so it's far less a risk (besides being searched) Now it serves as a major point injection into the heretic, which I'm not sure they really need. Putting it back in T1 at least brings back the point investment part. 2. Warren King's Welcome is not a particularly problematic knowledge in comparison but I made the decision to move it to reduce the front-loaded-ness of heretic's starting knowledge. Having so many things available off rip is a bit overwhelming. Additionally, I prefer the idea of Warren King's Welcome being a point trade-off for people who can't get access to maintenance another way, rather than it being essentially free. You can spend 1 point for otherwise free maintenance access - *or* you can get access from the HoP, or you can steal an ID, or you can make an Eldritch Coin, or you can rely on a spell like Ashen Passage, or you can just hack doors. More sandboxxyness. The rework happened because it needed a bit more to be its own independent knowledge. Addendum: I touched on it in 2, but the amount of starting knowledge can easily overwhelm newer players. We should be careful adding multiple rituals off rip. ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert balance: Codex Cicatrix is now a tier 1 heretic knowledge, and can not be drafted. balance: Warren King's Welcome is now a tier 1 heretic knowledge, but can be drafted. balance: Warren King's Welcome soft reworked. Now needs 10 cable, 1 paper, 1 multitool. Now adds access to all IDs present, including worn IDs. Now adds "heretic" access to the ID card. Now changes all nearby airlocks to require "heretic" access, and cuts the AI wire. balance: Eldritch ID card starts with "heretic" access. /🆑
