* Festival Sect Expansion: New Tunes, New Rites, Cogitandi Fidis (#80032)
## About The Pull Request
### Cogitandi Fidis
Creates a holy violin that gives an analysis of songs played on it. This
lets you check how long the song is for final effects, to make sure they
trigger without the hassle of trying a rite with a song until you get
one that works. 20 Favor, looks neat too!
### Portable Song Tuning
Rite to empower an instrument with the ability to invoke specifically
song tuning rites, 5 charges before you need to go back to a proper
altar. Helps a chaplain stay on the move, since songs are interruptable
and sometimes an altar can be incredibly far. 10 Favor for 5 charges.
### Illuminating Solo
New free invocation that lets you light up the way with your music! The
finishing effect applies a weaker glow to all listeners for a minute.
### Other Misc Changes
The threshold for getting a final effect on a song is now lower, 220 ->
170. As a reminder, this threshold is lines * tempo. I think the
threshold was simply too high
## Why It's Good For The Game
Changes were made from
https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=35381 statistics and
feedback about sects. I think, overall, Festival Sect is in a very good
place and doesn't need a whole lot but a few rites that help with a
quality of life would really cut down on the amount of time a chappy is
spending doing nothing but running allllll the way back to the chapel to
load up some new songs
## Changelog
🆑
add: Festival Sect has 3 new rites: Cogitandi Fidis, Portable Song
Tuning, and Illuminating Solo.
balance: lowers threshold for triggering a final effect. Consult your
Cogitandi Fidis for more information

* Basic pollen-particles for plants pollenating. (#74675)
Legally endorsed nightcode 👍
## About The Pull Request
When 2 plants are adjacent to each other, they will begin to
cross-pollenate, sharing their potency, instability, and yield values
between the two. This has been in the game since #50001 , however we
never added a more clear visual tell that cross-pollenation exists.
Thanks to the magic of *barticles*, now you can!

Adds a simple particle effect, largely lifted from bonfires, that
indicates that two plants are sharing stats at minimum.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Following discussion from #74621, it was decided we needed and preferred
a more visual cue to the mechanic. As a general point I think that's a
longer term fix to the issue, and this adds more visual clarity to an
otherwise arcane mechanic (heh).
Looking for feedback on how to improve the look of the particles but for
fast nightcode I think I did okay for a first try
## Changelog
🆑
imageadd: Hydroponics trays now have pollen particles that they generate
when they share stats and chems. Non-allergenic!
