KrysonismandGitHub 075de00420 Chekov's Canister! Adds missing resupply canisters, makes them constructable & spawn in maint,. (#93028)
## About The Pull Request

This is was created because I found several rare and exciting canisters
in game and then finding out there is no way to actually construct the
vendor they belong to!...

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/70261cea-daaf-41df-a212-21cef6d6bd0c"
/>

### This PR:

* Makes all noteable vendors constructable, if you have the canister. 
* Adds canisters to syndismokes, syndiechem, liberation station,
magivend, shambler's juice and bombuddy
* Replaces the old tptally random canisters spawner, with a variety of
spawners weighted for power and split according to different themes.
* Adds the new main canister spawner to maint. 

### Spawner weights

The random canister spawner from maintenance has a:

* **93,5%** chance to spawn a common station vendor refill(with weights
for wardrobes being somewhat reduced.)
* **6%** chance to spawn a rare and special vendor refill.
* **0.5%** chance to spawn a oddity level., super powerful vendor
refill.

## Why It's Good For The Game

One must never place a filled canister in maint if it isn't going to be
constructed It's wrong to make promises you don't mean to keep.

## Changelog

🆑
add: Nearly all notable vendors are now constructable if you have the
canister.
add Added refill canisters for syndiesmokes, liberation station,
magivend, bombuddy 3000, shambler's juice and syndichem.
add: Random vending refill canisters now have a chance to spawn in
maint.
image: Robco Toolmaker and Centdrobe canisters have new sprites.

Aliceee2chandGitHub 0918437d53 BORGENING! Borg changes and QOLs (#92303)
## About The Pull Request

Adds a few new items and upgrades for different cyborg modules or
reworks some of them.

<p align="center">
<img width="608" height="199" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ba44742f-984b-4988-af4d-e06cf66d3296"
/>
</p>
pic unrelated :)

### Main changes:

### Medical model
**Medical cyborg** gets chembag by default and a new bluespace syringe
upgrade!
<p align="center">
<img width="267" height="83" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4636688f-a3bf-4db8-b0c7-75089aeb4f54"
/>
</p>

### Engineering model
**Engineering cyborg** recieved a few new features. Now you can put your
regular RPED inside of a cyborg, but mind that it has way less storage,
than RPED upgrade from robotics. Robotics RPED upgrade were renamed into
expanded RPED and now cost the same amount of material to produce it as
BS RPED.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e614a9b0-41ad-4815-8eb6-f627c2bf77cc"
/>
</p>

Worth to mention adding decal painter with own sprite (yes it uses cell
instead of regular toner)
<p align="center">
<img width="827" height="498" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2eb36651-0ee2-4c9b-81ef-f8c3a96966a8"
/>
</p>

<p align="left">
Circuit manipulator was renamed to engineering apparatus, as its can no
longer hold only circuits. Additionally, it can also hold tubes/bulbs
now.
</p>

### Mining model
**Mining cyborg** now has mesons removed and remade into a new toggle
button, you dont need to use one of your modules just to be able to see
through darkness of lavaland caves.
<p align="center">
<img width="248" height="173" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e85a00ec-f373-43d0-9ce9-7ec573029af3"
/>
</p>

**Mining cyborg** got a new shield module. It helps you fighting
lavaland fauna (..or annoying humans, if youre evil) in low pressure by
absorbing 50% of incoming damage when activated. Takes some amount of
your charge per absorbed hit.
Example:
![2025-07-30
15-05-38](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0337a3b2-b9ef-4e27-a464-e3bc0a6a77d8)

## Why It's Good For The Game

I feel big lack of some cyborg modules or even features. This PR is
supposed to fix missing gap, aswell as rebalance some of existing
models.

## Changelog


🆑
qol: Added new helpful modules, such as decal painter for engineering
and chembag for medical borg.
add: Added miner cyborg shield module. In lavaland (low) pressure, it
protects you from 50% of incoming damage in exchange of your cell
charge.
add: Added BS syringe upgrade for medical cyborg.

nikothedudeandnevimer ee99d0e5b0 Asthma quirk, inhalers - Electric Boogaloo (#92747)
## About The Pull Request

Revival of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/79691

A while back, I made this PR, but lost motivation after diving too deep
into the code soup of can_breathe and related procs. Now, I have removed
those parts, and have simplified that part of the code to the point I
think it's ready for review.

Many reviews from the previous PR have been addressed in this PR.

  <summary>Details</summary>

Asthma is a 4 point negative quirk that emulates real life asthma. It
works by slowly decreasing the amount of pressure each breath you take
receives, until your lungs completely seal, ensuring death if you dont
get oxyloss meds/windpipe surgery.

Inflammation (the tracker for intensity) increases whenever you breathe
smoke, use a cigarette, metabolize histimine, or suffer an asthma
attack.

Asthma attacks have a low chance of happening every second, starting 10
minutes after you spawn and with a 20-30 grace period between attacks.
They are "diseases" that cant be outright cured by albuterol, only put
into remission. They increase inflammation at varying rates depending on
their severity, with extreme asthma attacks being a immediate threat to
your life while mild ones might not even cause inflammation. The
response to these is always the same - use your inhaler before you start
choking.

Asthmatics start with a rescue inhaler, a low-capacity inhaler loaded
with albuterol, which I will get to later.

Albuterol is a new medicine thats a little tricky to make but still
doable. It can be efficiently created with inverse convermol, or
transmutated from salbutamol and convermol. The opposite is true, with
albuterol able to be turned into salbutamol. Two canisters are available
in chemvends.

Upon use, it increases the virtual pressure of all breaths taken by 40%.
This allows for you to breathe in lower pressure environments, as well
as enhancing the effects of things like healium.

It's OD causes your diaphram to spasm, causing sporadic losebreath and
forced breathing.

Inhalers are a fancy new reagent application apparatus that uses the
INHALE reagent bitflag.

Inhalers themselves are rather unremarkable, they are merely the method
of using inhaler canisters (they also have a rotary display
approximating the uses left in a canister - just like real life
inhalers).

Inhaler canisters are the reagent containers, and are generally low
capacity. They can only be used in a inhaler, and contain aerosolized
chemicals.

Inhaler canisters and inhalers are unlocked from chemical synthesis, and
are printable for cheap from a medlathe.

In order to use a inhaler, one must uncover the mouth of a carbon and
wait a few seconds (its faster if its a self-application) before a small
amount of the reagents are delivered via the INHALE bitflag. This only
works on things currently breathing - if theyre dead, have no lungs, or
just, arent breathing - it will fail. This includes asthmatics with 100%
inflammation.

Sprites are not mine; they are from swanni and I can NOT sprite for the
life of me
## Why It's Good For The Game

1. Asthma is just cool. One of my favorite features on bay was the fact
lung damage required you to turn up the pressure on your O2 tank to
survive, and this does precisely that.
2. Its always fun to add new ways to interact with atmos as a player
that arent grossly broken, and I fail to see how a 40% increase of gas
intake will really affect balance too badly.
3. Inhalers are badass.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Asthma quirk, based on IRL asthma
add: Inhalers, a new reagent administering method that uses INHALE
add: Albuterol, a new reagent that increases the amount of gas you
inhale by 40%
balance: Inverse convermol now forms once the reaction is done, not on
metabolize

John WillardandGitHub f8186a7db3 Adds a furnace that grants space protection to nearby people (#92342)
## About The Pull Request

##### Code bounty for holinka4ever

Adds a furnace equippable to the back slot, which when active (it is a
lamp), will form a bubble of space protection, affecting the user and
people nearby, and will last 5 minutes before it dissipates and needs to
be re-formed. This item requires a pyroclastic anomaly core to activate,
while the bubble itself can only be formed in pressurized environments.
It's researchable in the Anomaly technology node.

The downsides of the item is it requires 2 hands to hold, can't be
inserted into storage items (as it's bulky), can only be equipped to the
bag slot, and has slowdown while on, which only affects you when you're
in gravity anyways.

## Why It's Good For The Game

The pyro anomaly is currently one of the more useless anomaly cores, not
even getting a unique reactive armour variation. This hopefully gives it
some purpose as a good tool to keep people alive in a spaced area at a
good cost to the user. This is an item that shouldn't be overpowered,
but also isn't just a selfish tool- when someone's crafting this item
it's specifically aiming to help people, which I think is a benefit.

## Changelog

🆑 JohnFulpWillard, sprites by PopLop
add: Added a new pyroclastic anomaly locked item, the Space Furnace.
Grants space immunity to people nearby while active.

6bc67d2bc6 Emitter: The Emitting (#92327)
## About The Pull Request
Adds Diode Disks, installable disks that when fitted into an emitter can
change its function.
* Healing
* Stamina damage, and heals the SM slightly at the cost of internal
energy
* Traitor engi only explosive that damages and supercharges the SM if
used that way. Firerate is halved.
* Incendiary that slightly damages the SM but has lots of energy
* Sanity damaging one that improves SM psi coeff
* Magnetic item attracting one that improves SM mol absorption.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fun and unique ways for Engi to use excess power or improve their SM
setups. Could also lead to neat engi inventions such as, say, a circuit
device that aims and fires a healing emitter at anyone nearby who is
damaged. Should also incentivize the researching of useful techs, hence
why important medium tier techs are what lock the different disks.
## Changelog
🆑
add: New Diode Disks which allow you to configurate emitters with
special functions.
add: New Engi & CE exclusive traitor item, a diode disk that causes an
emitter to create low radius explosions when it hits things. Note that
this will reduce the fire-rate of your emitter.

StaringGasMaskandnevimer f7d6a97cb8 Removes the Justice mech (#92486)
## About The Pull Request

Removes the Justice mech from the game, including its sprites and some
of the associated code.
Leaves some sprites, effects and sounds in case anyone wants to reuse
them for something else.

If the maintainers prefer that the mech should remain in the game, but
as an admin-only spawn, I will do so.

## Why It's Good For The Game

This mech has been under fire recently because of it being way too
overtuned, which I think has mainly to do with trying to cram a lot of
unusual things for a mech, such as stealth and melee focus, into the
same package.
Aditionally, I don't really like the flavor at all, being a blatant
reference to another unrelated game. If both the ralsei plush and jevil
mask have been removed, I feel like a similar standard should be applied
here.

Finally, this opens up the posibility for someone else to try a new idea
on some of the concepts present on Justice's current iteration, such as
making a melee-focused mech.

b7dab59e5e Adds modular shield gates and makes modular shields less useless indoors (#91251)
## About The Pull Request
Adds modular shield gates and puts them in holographics research (This
is the final machine to be added to holographics, if anymore are added
they will be put into a brand new adv holographics tech)

It can be rotated with screwdriver (to open panel) and wrench

It has NO ui (its meant to be used with either a remote signaler or
modular shield console in another PR)

It takes NO penalty from generating tiles indoors

It projects a field until either its max range has been reached or it
comes across a closed turf or shield that blocks it.

Regeneration rate is still based on how many tiles it projected vs the
maximum theoretical range it can project at, meaning relays are still
useful.

Infact its very inefficient at longer ranges (which is why it's called a
gate and not a directional generator, because you will most likely use
it like a gate)

its screwdrivered in the video thats why the connections are broken..


https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4536dd5c-a515-43fc-9186-bbd2fc21b703


Makes hulks deal 30 + shield regeneration rate instead of 100+ (remember
shields don't have any armor or damage deflection)

Has shields block clicks on things under them (mandatory for the shield
gate)

Shields now react better to explosions and atmos (they used to not block
either with barely any interaction)


HALVES the bubble shield generator's max radius when set to project
tiles in doors (similar to regen)
Doubles capacity and regen (if used indoors this is not a large buff
because max radius impacts the regen calculation)

## Why It's Good For The Game

Allows engineers to use up excess power to further manipulate their
environment to produce complicated doorways, walls, and containment
fields that are nonharmful but still meaningful as breaching them is an
easy fix.

Modular shield generators are meant to be progressive content that
engineers can mess with throughout an ENTIRE round, giving them a
generator subtype that give them a bit more fine control with how to use
them seems essential.


Alot of people have asked me why the generator is so weak and told me
its trash, ive kept it weak because it affects a large area, outside in
space thats not a big deal, but inside the station its incredibly
powerful to just drop a 300 health bullet sponge wherever you want it by
ramping up the radius and blocking someone from entering/exiting a room
(this is similar to closing a door behind someone as ai except you're
completely surrounding them with that one door.)

This is deceptively powerful and by nerfing the radius indoors it's much
harder to abuse, which means that shield can now be somewhat stronger
without being oppressive.


## Changelog
🆑
add: Modular shield gates which project a shield in a line and does not
suffer indoor penalties.
balance: Modular shields now better interact with and block atmos and
explosions and melee for what they are protecting, hulks are able to
take one down eventually no matter what.
balance: Modular shields now suffer a severe range penalty when
generating indoors but are more potent in their capacity to endure
damage.

e49aa65687 Adds modular shield gates and makes modular shields less useless indoors (#91251)
## About The Pull Request
Adds modular shield gates and puts them in holographics research (This
is the final machine to be added to holographics, if anymore are added
they will be put into a brand new adv holographics tech)

It can be rotated with screwdriver (to open panel) and wrench

It has NO ui (its meant to be used with either a remote signaler or
modular shield console in another PR)

It takes NO penalty from generating tiles indoors

It projects a field until either its max range has been reached or it
comes across a closed turf or shield that blocks it.

Regeneration rate is still based on how many tiles it projected vs the
maximum theoretical range it can project at, meaning relays are still
useful.

Infact its very inefficient at longer ranges (which is why it's called a
gate and not a directional generator, because you will most likely use
it like a gate)

its screwdrivered in the video thats why the connections are broken..


https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4536dd5c-a515-43fc-9186-bbd2fc21b703


Makes hulks deal 30 + shield regeneration rate instead of 100+ (remember
shields don't have any armor or damage deflection)

Has shields block clicks on things under them (mandatory for the shield
gate)

Shields now react better to explosions and atmos (they used to not block
either with barely any interaction)


HALVES the bubble shield generator's max radius when set to project
tiles in doors (similar to regen)
Doubles capacity and regen (if used indoors this is not a large buff
because max radius impacts the regen calculation)

## Why It's Good For The Game

Allows engineers to use up excess power to further manipulate their
environment to produce complicated doorways, walls, and containment
fields that are nonharmful but still meaningful as breaching them is an
easy fix.

Modular shield generators are meant to be progressive content that
engineers can mess with throughout an ENTIRE round, giving them a
generator subtype that give them a bit more fine control with how to use
them seems essential.


Alot of people have asked me why the generator is so weak and told me
its trash, ive kept it weak because it affects a large area, outside in
space thats not a big deal, but inside the station its incredibly
powerful to just drop a 300 health bullet sponge wherever you want it by
ramping up the radius and blocking someone from entering/exiting a room
(this is similar to closing a door behind someone as ai except you're
completely surrounding them with that one door.)

This is deceptively powerful and by nerfing the radius indoors it's much
harder to abuse, which means that shield can now be somewhat stronger
without being oppressive.


## Changelog
🆑
add: Modular shield gates which project a shield in a line and does not
suffer indoor penalties.
balance: Modular shields now better interact with and block atmos and
explosions and melee for what they are protecting, hulks are able to
take one down eventually no matter what.
balance: Modular shields now suffer a severe range penalty when
generating indoors but are more potent in their capacity to endure
damage.

d738cbb296 Several balance changes to Combat MODsuits (#91944)
## About The Pull Request

atomization of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/91702 with a
few changes.

- armor booster module has been removed, nukie suits are now always
fully armored and EVA proof.

- Jetpack modules have had their power drain reduced considerably.

- Cap,Hos and Sec MODs armor values have been bumped up (similar to the
old hardsuit values).

- Sec armor plates are now a cargo import.

The nf suit now comes with the Shock absorber pre-installed.

- Fixes Nukie suits not having T4 flash protection.


- All combat modsuits now have ear protection by default when the suit
active (Cap,Sec,Hos,Syndie,ERT, Death Squad, Ninja and RD.)

- Night visor module now comes preinstalled in the syndie mods and
doesn't conflict with other vision modules, nor it costs complexity,
power drain reduced, the module itself has been removed from the uplink.

- Increases the complexity on the nukie suits by 2 points.

- all traitor modules now cost 1 less TC.

## Why It's Good For The Game

**armor booster removal**

I really dislike how this module works, it's a constant hassle having to
manually swap mode depending on the pressure, it's just an annoyng
memory check that punishes you with chip damage when not respected.

The choice of wheter wearing a mod or not doesn't really apply to
nuclear operatives since they wear these things all the time and losing
half of your armor in space never really made a ton of sense to begin
with.

**Jetpack power drain buff**

The drain on this thing is absolute fucking nuts, it eats high capacity
cells in a matter of minutes, power should be a limiting factor to using
these things but it shouldn't tank your battery health this quickly.

**Cap,Sec,Hos MODs buffs**

Back when Fikou introduced MODsuits, one point he clarified in the
design doc is that "Combat stuff usually leads to uninteresting design,
it makes the suits do everything for everyone"

I don't want to diss on the dude (Love you bud), but I don't think his
point makes a ton of sense.

Combat stuff, on this case Combat mods should be built with Combat in
mind.

In all fairness he then has a paragraph addressing why the crew based
combat suits should have low armor, but it still rings hollow to me.

Armored or not, being slower than your average spessman is enough to
make you an easy target or to never be able to chase anyone on foot,
even with their armor increased I don't see players having them
constantly on all the time, the slowdown is a hard enough disincentive.

The Magnate and HoS mods specifically are unique pieces of gear, and
they are usually assigned to 2 of the most important (and prone to
assassination) roles on the station.

There's also a weird paradox with some of the modules they come equipped
with the sec MODs, the pepper spray and the projectile dampener are
built around getting hit, which is a hard sell when your armor is so low
you might as well just die straight up.

Out of respect to Fikou's will of not wanting to grant the crew the
ability to mass produce combat MODs, I removed the sec modplates from
the techweb and moved em as a cargo import.

**Uplink MODules Price reduction**

These were originally priced with progression in mind, traitor
specifically has become considerably weaker since they lost access to
avenues to generate extra TCs.

It's hard to justify getting a suit when most weapons in the uplink cost
more than half of your budget, let alone the modules.

**Shock absorption into the inf suit**

This module is pretty much already mandatory if you don't want to lose
fights in one hit, wearing a syndie modsuit makes you giga valid to
everyone on station and any traitor worth their salt will buy this
module regardless anyway; it just punishes new players who don't know
better.


**Night Visor MOD changes**

This module is completely useless, nobody ever uses it, because it
conflicts with other vision modules, and it's completely redundant since
Thermal vision already comes packed with NV on their own.

**Complexity increase on the Nukie suits + T4 flashing protection
added**

The nukie suits have honestly quite limited complexity for the role they
are supposed to fill , the T4 flash protection missing from the suit is
unintended as we made any other MODsuit have T4 protection already, Moth
Nukies rejoice.

**Ear Protection on combat MODs (oh boy)**

Listen, as of right now we have a total of 2 counters for flashbangs, a
Bowman or being deaf.

A sealed, airtight suit shouldn't offer less protection against loud
noises than a mere headset.
baddies that usually pack these suits usually have a Bowman anyway,
Nukies have it, ninja can easily teleport into a sec outpost and get it,
it's a bit more tricky for traitor since they usually have to invest in
an emag to quickly take the set or kill a security officer.

At least now if you see a baddie roll up in a suit you no longer have to
play hypotheticals wheter your flashbang will work properly or not.

I also gave the ear protection to the RD mod despite it not being a
combat MOD, because frankly it made sense, it's a bomb proof armor, It
should also protect you from loud noises.

5573612a43 Adds .38 Flare, which is a lethal laser bullet casing available for printing with Advanced Beam Weaponry. Adjust ammo material values. (#91726)
## About The Pull Request


![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1332d28c-8d5f-41b7-a614-b74027210145)

Adds the .38 Flare. It does 20 damage. This round highlights the target
for 2 minutes, and projectiles hitting the target always hit the limb
that the shooter was aiming at. Your shot has effectively perfect limb
accuracy, no matter how far the bullet needs to travel. This also
affects other projectiles hitting the target that aren't the .38 Flare.

To indicate whether or not a round in a magazine is either lead or
laser, I've borrowed the implementation of ammo overlays from the C-20r
toy magazines Now each bullet in the speedloaders for .38 can be a
distinct type visibly. Might be interesting if anyone wants to add
additional unique appearances for some of the other .38 rounds.

Reduces the overall cost of a lot of the ammunition in the sec and
autolathe, such as loose bullets. Also reduces the material quantity
within bullet casings.

## Why It's Good For The Game

> .38 Flare

By popular demand, I've come up with a new idea. And that idea...is an
anti-bullet deviation tool. Most players are probably not conscious of
bullet deviation. But if you're familiar with the mechanic, it's why
sometimes your shots may hit into an arm or a leg even though you were
aiming at the head.

The way this works is that over the course of a bullets flight, it
increases in inaccuracy and the pobability of drifting into a limb. From
my last estimate, shooting somewhere around 5 tiles away will usually
result in bullet drift.

While affected by the flare shot, that does not happen. You shoot at the
head, you hit the head.

To put it into perspective; you could consider bullet deviation a form
of damage loss (its a bit more complicated than this and there are
instances where it is positive), and this projectile eliminates that
problem for everyone shooting the target.

> Ammo cost

Some of these were pretty excessive for the cost, and a notable example
of this include the .357 loose casings, .310 Surplus loose casings, and
most shotgun shells. These should go down to roughly below 3/5th of a
sheet of metal when printed from a fully upgraded lathe.

Meanwhile, a single bullet casing was like a sheet of metal each, which
didn't seem right to me. So they're now by default one fifth of a sheet
of metal on recycle.

## Changelog
🆑
add: .38 Flare, a laser bullet! Available in both .38 speedloader and
BR-38 magazine once Advanced Beam Weaponry is researched.
add: .38 Flare highlights the target in an outline and makes sure your
bullets never accidentally hit any limb except the one you are aiming
at. Never accidentally hit someone in the arm when you were going for a
headshot.
balance: Reduces the printing costs of several ammunition types from the
autolathe and security lathe. Reduces the overall material contents of
said printed ammo/magazines. If you find a material dupe, let a coder
know.

OrionTheFoxandRoxy dd00941e32 Makes the Organ Jar printable, lowers it chemical capacity and makes it pour large amounts at once (#92003)
## About The Pull Request

A note to start: the coroner's mail goodie is untouched. They still get
their brain-in-a-jar, prefilled with formaldehyde and with the
ghostrole-brain.

**First part is fairly simple. It's printable now.**

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e11d0845-9002-4707-8b12-80ab0f0ede65)

**Balance is hopefully also simple...**
Originally it could store 150u, which just made it an improvement over
most of the other basic beakers... but it shouldn't even be useful in
chemistry, it's rather unshapely for that!

So the balance is as follows:
- It stores 120u of chemicals, printable roundstart.
_Identical to the X-Large Beaker - even in cost, needing some plastic
(which makes it shatter-proof. i guess.)_
- The unwieldy lip means it can only pour in large amounts (20, 40, 60,
120)
_It's not ideal for mixing in chemistry... This will **hopefully**
discourage using it where it'd look out-of-place.
Why juggle big numbers when you can use easier to handle, equivalent
X-Large Beaker?_
 
If players so choose they **can**, of course, still mix their spacedrugs
soaking in a bottle with a Felinid Liver. It's just not a preferred
shift-start beaker.

_Also it's a /beaker subtype now because I wanted to inherit some
things, like the pickup/drop sounds.
This technically means it works as a component in machines, but since
it's equal to an X-Large beaker that doesn't really mean anything. Just
a funny interaction._

- It stores 120u of chemicals, printable roundstart.
_Identical to the X-Large Beaker - even in cost, needing some plastic
(which makes it shatter-proof. i guess.)_
- The unwieldy lip means it can only pour in large amounts (20, 40, 60,
120)
_It's not ideal for mixing in chemistry... This will **hopefully**
discourage using it where it'd look out-of-place.
Why juggle big numbers when you can use easier to handle, equivalent
X-Large Beaker?_
 
If players so choose they **can**, of course, still mix their spacedrugs
soaking in a bottle with a Felinid Liver. It's just not a preferred
shift-start beaker.

_Also it's a /beaker subtype now because I wanted to inherit some
things, like the pickup/drop sounds.
This technically means it works as a component in machines, but since
it's equal to an X-Large beaker that doesn't really mean anything. Just
a funny interaction._
## Why It's Good For The Game

I can finally torment my patients without having to hope the Mail Gods
deem me (or the department Coroner) worthy.
The idea of gifting them their inflamed appendix in a preserved jar
makes me happy.

## Changelog
🆑
add: Medical (and Science) can now print Organ Jars from their
protolathes! Their shatter-proofing requires some plastic, though.
balance: Organ Jar capacity lowered to 120u, and they can only pour in
large quantities (have you ever tried pouring out of a jar with a lip
like that? Disaster. Such a mess.).

theOOZandGitHub 2a5768ef10 Item which lets you remote control (some) shuttles (#91663)
## About The Pull Request

Adds a remote which can be printed with sufficient research, or
auto-linked by mapping the remote ontop of a nav console. Once linked it
can send off or call the shuttle towards a home and away destination.
These destinations can be changed with alt+rmb.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Let people send and call their shuttle without being at the nav
computer. Really useful for antags that arrive on a shuttle, so their
shuttle can be safe in deepspace while they fuck about onstation.
(Should pirates have this?)

a4d5c97f63 Adds Modular shield consoles, boards, and tech, lets monkeys mash their keyboards (#91189)
## About The Pull Request
(had to cut off the video cause of github file size limit)


https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f6a51d28-dc35-41ad-93ac-099c48215013


Adds modular shield generator consoles to the game, boards are available
through holographics tech

Simply multitool buffer a generator and then use the buffer on a
console.

The console can see the current shield health status of every generator
that is linked to it and can toggle the generators on
and off, but cannot change radius or any other settings.

The console can also rename generators for convenience



And should a monkey manage to slip past your defenses via ventcrawl it
will be able to randomly toggle your shields.


https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/94435d15-e52f-45c7-a2e6-135228e7bc08


## Why It's Good For The Game

Helps engineers keep track of their generators for primarily PVE content
(mainly when they are trying to protect the station against meteors)
## Changelog
🆑
add: You can now remotely monitor and control modular shield generators
using modular shield generator consoles.

df3df27e1d Diagnosis: The Diagnosing (#91361)
Adds more analog diagnostic stuff, and expands on what's already there.
Current content added:

- Custom text for when you examine different kinds of organs with
stethoscopes and penlights.
- Examining eldritchly corrupted organs too closely (stethoscope and
penlight) is a bad idea.
- If you place a metal disk against a guy sparking like a tesla coil,
you get shocked. Go figure.
- If someone has an actively damaging zombie infection (ie. got clawed
by a zombie, not romerol), you can see it on penlight.
- New Hemoanalytic Scanner, for use in places where real health scanners
with actual useful features are too high class. It's able to scan for
medicines in the blood, check blood and oxygen levels, determine if the
scannee has tox damage, and even check their blood type. It's printable
roundstart for iron and glass, so that medbay isn't completely fucked if
science doesn't do their job and they lose their health analyzers
somehow.
- Nifty status effect messages for those tools!

Fun, rarely used systems are being improved, and seeing as how the
easily available, faster health analyzer is basically the end-all be-all
of diagnostic tools anyways, it's not going to unbalance anything unless
i literally make them just a health analyzer but better.
🆑
add: Vaguely estimate what kinds of hearts and lungs people have from a
variety of weird stethoscope noises! (Or just look it up on the pr, I
won't judge.)
add: Using analog diagnostic tools on eldritch organs from beyond the
waking world or people whose hearts cause their skin to arc like a tesla
coil is a bad idea. Examine people, ya goof.
add: You can see if someone has an actively damaging (read: contracted
straight from the groaning hungry source) zombie infection by using a
penlight. Act out highly emotional headshot hesitation scenes today!
add: New Hemoanalytic Scanner (read: really shitty but roundstart
printable chem scanner), which tells you all about someone's blood, and
can also detect medicines in their bloodstream! Not toxins or
miscellaneous reagents though.
refactor: Refactored and added some penlight, stethoscope, and organ
code. If shit is fucked, please report it on the github issue tracker
ASAP.
fix: X-Ray vision generically causes eyes to glow under penlight, not
just specifically the mutation X-Ray vision.
fix: Reflex Hammers now fit in medical storage items, IE. medbelts and
medkits.
balance: People with welding-eyes or similar will not have their pupils
react to penlight examination.

## About The Pull Request

![bild](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d859e878-72e3-4200-8c1c-8521e5c499d2)

## This PR:

*  Adds a new type of reagent container; the jerrycan!

* Replaces the nutrient bottles in the nutrimax with cans.

* Adds some prefilled cans to the maint loot table.

### Can knowledge

* Jerrycans can hold a hold an incredible 200u.
* They can be printed roundstart at the auto and protolathes for 2
sheets of plastic.
* They are balanced by being bulky.
* They can be thrown around by without spilling their contents.
* They are not beakers and cannot be used to make grenades.

The upfront cost associated with buying nutrients will be greater, but
it will be cheaper per unit.
I would actually like to charge more but this is not really feasible
right now due to the heavy department discount.

#### Maint loot additions
The new maint loot cans have a low weight so far, collectively appearing
half as often as basic healing items.

The cans that have been added to maint loot are as follows:

* space cleaner ( weight: 2)
* oil (weight: 2)
* diethylamine (weight : 1)
* phlogiston (weight: 1)

#### Reagent overlay code

I have added an option to have reagent containers use a colour matrix to
lighten and increase the contrast of the reagent filling overlay in an
attempt to prevent dark coloured reagents from completely obliterating
all contrast.
The math may need to be tweaked but it should offer some improvement
provided the filling overlay has some contrast to begin with.

## Why It's Good For The Game

The jerrycan is not only a flavourful & setting appropriate way to store
reagents, it also offers several design benefits due to its unique
combination of high roundstart capacity and bulky size.

* It prevents one coworker from hogging a shared reagent container.
* The high volume eases grinding and mixing.
* It allows reagents to be stolen or borrowed due to being stored
outside the safety of an inventory.
* The highly visible inhand sprite allows you to see who is holding or
transporting reagents.
* The smart cap flag increases quality of life by allowing you to throw
the container without spilling.
* It reduces the tedium associated with dispensing and throwing away
botany nutrient bottles, encouraging refilling.
* Bulky size prevent players from looting the can unless it is something
they really want.
* Comes with a large number of visual customisation options for coders
who with to add new variants.

## Throwing away the little nutrient bottles when doing botany sucks!

necromanceranneandRoxy 7589c68046 Adds the exosuit ablative insulation module. A module that protects a mech from energy attacks and their wires from EMPs. But makes it weaker to ballistics and melee weapons. Adds a special version for nukie mechs. (#90845)
<!-- Write **BELOW** The Headers and **ABOVE** The comments else it may
not be viewable. -->
<!-- You can view Contributing.MD for a detailed description of the pull
request process. -->

## About The Pull Request

Adds the Ablative Insulation. A type of mech armor.

The armor module protects the mech from energy weapons (such as thermal
pistols), and also protects the wires from EMPs (only the wires, not the
mech itself). However, it makes it weaker against melee and ballistic
weapons.

The Dark Gygax and Mauler both obtain a version of this module as part
of their default loadout that does not have any disadvantages against
melee and ballistic weapons.

## Why It's Good For The Game

This is a complimentary PR to this one.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/90830

Wire scrambling for mechs is an extremely irritable system, but it does
force mech pilots out of the mech to repair some of the effects
attached. or at least to a standstill.

This can often feel a bit like a knowledge check to resolve for some
pilots, since the optimal solutions for this typically involve pulsing
the wires in some way, utilizing assemblies like voice analyzers,
circuits or signalers.

While I would like a more obvious way for pilots to resolve these
problems without having to set up signal networks, I do think it should
come at some expense in other defenses so that it isn't such a catchall
solution compared to the other armor booster modules. There would
otherwise be no reason not to use this armor booster if there was no
downside, since it completely negates a weakness. Therefore, we're
aiming for a slight upside/downside exchange. You get a very good
upside, but you now need to compensate for weaker defenses elsewhere
(such as risking internal damage effects due to lower armor, see this PR
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/90844)

We've given nuclear operatives an improved version because their mechs
are A) expensive as shit, and B) meant to be a huge all-in but have
suffered immensely from many years of refactors, rebalances and gear
availability changes that definitely have left them underperforming for
their promised value. I would much rather nuclear operative mechs feel
like they are less beholden to the weaknesses that crew mechs need to
contend with if only because they exist for what might be a fraction of
the time, if they are even spawned at all due to their price.

## About The Pull Request

Adds the Ablative Insulation. A type of mech armor.

The armor module protects the mech from energy weapons (such as thermal
pistols), and also protects the wires from EMPs (only the wires, not the
mech itself). However, it makes it weaker against melee and ballistic
weapons.

The Dark Gygax and Mauler both obtain a version of this module as part
of their default loadout that does not have any disadvantages against
melee and ballistic weapons.

## Why It's Good For The Game

This is a complimentary PR to this one.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/90830

Wire scrambling for mechs is an extremely irritable system, but it does
force mech pilots out of the mech to repair some of the effects
attached. or at least to a standstill.

This can often feel a bit like a knowledge check to resolve for some
pilots, since the optimal solutions for this typically involve pulsing
the wires in some way, utilizing assemblies like voice analyzers,
circuits or signalers.

While I would like a more obvious way for pilots to resolve these
problems without having to set up signal networks, I do think it should
come at some expense in other defenses so that it isn't such a catchall
solution compared to the other armor booster modules. There would
otherwise be no reason not to use this armor booster if there was no
downside, since it completely negates a weakness. Therefore, we're
aiming for a slight upside/downside exchange. You get a very good
upside, but you now need to compensate for weaker defenses elsewhere
(such as risking internal damage effects due to lower armor, see this PR
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/90844)

We've given nuclear operatives an improved version because their mechs
are A) expensive as shit, and B) meant to be a huge all-in but have
suffered immensely from many years of refactors, rebalances and gear
availability changes that definitely have left them underperforming for
their promised value. I would much rather nuclear operative mechs feel
like they are less beholden to the weaknesses that crew mechs need to
contend with if only because they exist for what might be a fraction of
the time, if they are even spawned at all due to their price.

GoatandShadow-Quill 713000b32b [MDB Ignore] Makes photocopiers buildable (#90658)
## About The Pull Request
Adds the ability to build & deconstruct photocopiers. Replaces
photocopiers on current maps with a prebuilt version that's prestocked
with ink & paper. It starts preresearched in the office equipment node.
Takes a scanning module, micro laser, and servo to build.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Being able to remake is GOOD !!! Lets crew have ~ass scanning factories~
hard working offices wherever they want.
## Changelog
🆑 Goat, LePiromano
qol: Photocopiers now have boards meaning you can build, destroy, and
remake them. (If you're a mapper use the prebuilt version to prestock
your photocopiers)

SmArtKarandShadow-Quill 341090d420 Adds a unit test for techweb design presence, puts some missing designs into protolathes (#90219)
## About The Pull Request

Adds a unit test that checks that all designs are accessible through
some source, be it techweb, disks, or innate designs. Certain designs,
like pocket extinguishers, entertainment screens, etc, that have been
present in autolathes but not in the techweb despite having PROTOLATHE
flag assigned have been put into protolathes (where it made sense,
otherwise the flag was removed).
An important change is that restaurant portals are now printable, and
thus can be constructed and deconstructed. Indestructible portals have
been a major gripe of mine for a while, and I don't see a solid reason
for keeping them indestructible if they can easily be printed from the
service protolathe.

Closes #90212

## Why It's Good For The Game

Initial argument for keeping portals unbreakable was to prevent people
from griefing the chef/bartender, but by that logic we can make most
machinery unbreakable too. I don't think that having an unbreakable
portal is good if its locking us out from allowing chefs/bartenders to
reorder or even outright reposition their lunchroom/bar.

## Changelog

🆑
balance: Restaurant portals can now be printed, constructed and
deconstructed. They're also no longer completely invulnerable.
