## 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)
/🆑
## 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.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
Aquarium kits can now be printed from service, cargo, science
protolathes and the autolathe too, from half a sheet of metal. You still
need the other materials to set it up but it should be fairy simple if
you can access a proto/autolathe.
The 'Growth/Reproduction' setting for aquariums has been renamed to
"Safe Mode", which, on top of disabling features such as growth,
reproduction, evolution, power generation etc etc, will also disable the
water, temperature and food requirements for keeping the fish alive.
Useful if you want a purely ornamental aquarium or you have to skidaddle
somewhere else for a while.
The lawyer, as well as prefilled aquariums start with 'Safe Mode'
enabled.
The 'Aggressive' fish trait has been replaced with 'Territorial', which
is exactly the same but the fish won't lash out unless the aquarium is
populated by five fishes or more. No more angelfish viciously attacking
the guppy and goldfish in prefilled aquariums.
Tweaked a couple values around hunger and fish health loss when starving
or in a bad environment to cause slightly less damage.
Lastly, added screentips to the aquarium component, which is something
I've forgot to do in the PR that brought it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Aquariums may be a complex feature, but as far as I can tell, I had been
neglecting the possibility of aquariums as simple room decoration for a
while (outside of the beauty-related mechanics), and the constant
maintenance (and perhaps a bit of knowhow) they require makes them awful
at that. Also, the "growth/reproduction" setting really didn't have a
reason to be before, since it didn't offer any tangible benifit to turn
it off, so I had to revamped it.
Also it's been proven by now that keeping aquariums as cargo-orderable
stuff is just bad.
As for the fish trait change, it just sucks to see the angelfish shank
the goldfish with no way to solve it other than removing the
hyper-aggressive killer fish from san diego fella.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Aquarium kits can now be printed from cargo, service, science
protolathes as well as the autolathe. They no longer have to be ordered
from cargo.
balance: Revamped the "Growth/Reproduction" setting for aquarium to
"Safe Mode", which also disables the food, temperature and water
requiremenets of aquariums, making it useful for purely decorative
aquariums.
balance: Replaced the "Aggressive" fish trait with "Territorial". No
more angelfish shanking the goldfish and guppy in prefilled aquariums
with less than 5 fishes.
qol: Added screentips to aquariums.

## About The Pull Request
I've been meaning to do this for some time. I need this for
portable/handheld aquariums/fishtanks to be possible. I'll sprite and
code them before I call this PR ready, however suggestions and code
reviews are welcome in the meantime.
Being a pretty heavy refactor, some things might break (we have more
than a few unit tests so perhaps not) while others, coincidentally,
might be fixed without me knowing. Anyway I'm sure this PR fixes
aquarium beauty, which wasn't really working to begin with because the
code was so fucking bad. Nothing really worth of a CL entry tho.
TODO:
- [x] handheld aquariums, craftable with a kit and little plastic or
buyable from the fun vendor ig.
- [x] an aquarium upgrade for handheld aquariums to bypass possible
restrictions.
- [x] update the beauty element to consider items, which shouldn't
contribute to the area beauty when held or otherwise not on a turf.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This should make handheld aquariums possible.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: refactored aquariums heavily. Please report any fishy bug.
add: Added portable/handheld fish tanks to the game. They can be crafted
with an aquarium kit and 5 sheets of plastic. While portable, they
cannot store fish that are too big or if there're too many already. This
restriction can be removed by using the new "bluespace fish tank kit"
techweb item.
map: Replaced the lawyer's stationary pet aquarium with a fish tank, so
you can carry McGill around.
balance: Reduced the iron cost of stationary aquariums a little.

## About The Pull Request
The idea was born from a small conversation about bepis nodes having low
visibility, which somehow degressed into the idea of announcing
researched nodes to the channels of the interested departments thru the
announcement system machine, which is what I'm doing here, while also
adding documentation, defines and purging some, not all, instances of
camel cases from announcement_system.dm.
Oh, by the by, like the arrival and new head arrival messages, it can be
customized or disabled by interacting with the announcement system.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I think it's helpful to let players know when the research of their dept
is researched, and I think it's kinda interesting to announce bepis tech
on common like it's some hot stuff while it actually isn't just because
it's often missed out and miscellaneous.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Automated announcement systems now announce researched nodes to
their respective departments. You can stop this by either disabling the
announcement systems or by using a multitool on the circuitboard of the
console you're researching nodes from.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a pair of fishing gloves that let you fish and work out at
once, and also a MODsuit module that lets you use MOD gloves to do the
same thing (without the workout, an external fishing rod has to be
inserted first). In both cases, you can equip or unequip bait, hook and
line by using the fishing rod interface which you can open by
right-clicking the gloves. To get both of them, you've to perform the
first fish scanning experiment.
I had to refactor the profound fisher component a bit to do this.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Interweaving a few different features with fishing. Fishing and
Athletics are both skills, so I thought it'd be nice if it were a way to
take advantage of both, and level them up accordingly. Also fishing
gloves with maxxed out athletics can make fishing a lot noticeably
easier at higher difficulty.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added Athletic Fishing Gloves and Fishing Glove Module to the
advanced fishing tech node. Both can be used to fish without having to
hold a fishing rod. The athletic fishing gloves will also train your
athletics skill.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
I've refactored the FISH_SAFE_STORAGE trait into an element, mainly
because there were a few problems with how it worked: It wasn't stopping
hunger from raising, ditto with the breeding wait, and it offered no
healing whatsoever, which I find kind of a bummer. The new element will
keep the fish from getting any hungrier or ready to reproduce and will
heal them up to 65% of their base health.
Also, I've added a new bluespace fish case as a techweb design, found
along with other stuff in the advanced fishing node, though if you want
I can move it to a bluespace node. This should make it possible to
reasonably store and carry around larger fish.
Examining a fish will no longer give out readings on weight and size if
you haven't at least attempted fishing once (you can get to novice level
in less than a minute). While examining a fish with apprentice level or
higher will also give readings on the general conditions of the fish (is
it starving? drowning? has it lost a considerable chunk of health?). The
fishing skillchip also gives you these traits.
I've also converted two fish variables into traits, because fish have
waaaay too many variables. and gave some topdown shading to the
pre-existing fishbox sprite.
## Why It's Good For The Game
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added a bluespace fish case to the advanced fishing node.
balance: Fish cases will keep a fish from getting hungrier or ready to
reproduce, while also healing it up to 65% health.
balance: Examining a fish with zero fishing skill whatsoever won't give
a reading on its size and weight. Conversely, examining one with the
skill leveled two times will give general information on if it's
starving, sick, hungry, or dead.

## About The Pull Request
Added dehydrator, a machine version of drying rack.
Replaced the second fryer with this rack on some maps to be available
roundstart.
Also changed the colors of Smart Fridge to be more in line with other
kitchen appliances.
## Why It's Good For The Game
We have plenty of recipes requiring dried items, and it's silly that the
chef has to break down a cafeteria table to build a rack for regular
recipes.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Dehydrator, a machine version of drying rack, with a circuit board
and available on some kitchens roundstart.
image: Updated the color palette of Smart Fridge

Exotic Ammo node, giving more free points
balance: Techweb: Replaced the botany/xenobio discount experiments with
a new mutant scan experiment for the Gene Engineering node
balance: Techweb: Damaged mech scan is a discount experiment for tier 4
Mech Energy Guns node, giving twice more free points
balance: Techweb: Added a new anomaly scan experiment that gives full
discount for the Advanced Anomaly Shells, also moving the node to tier 5
balance: Techweb: Moved mech RCD to the Experimental Tools node
balance: Techweb: Moved handcuffs to T2 security node, leaving only
zipties in T1
balance: Techweb: Non-human Autopsy is a discount experiment instead of
a required one now
balance: Techweb: Parts scan experiments require 6 machines instead of 4
del: Techweb: Removed the New Toys node moving contents to sec and
medbay trees
qol: Made air horn craftable from a spraycan and a bikehorn
qol: Techweb: Better wording on the slime scan experiment

## About The Pull Request
1. Techweb strings are now defined in
`code/__DEFINES/research/techweb_nodes.dm` many thanks to @ShizCalev
2. All places that used those strings have been updated with the
definitions as well.
3. `code/modules/research/ordnance/scipaper_partner.dm` had some old
boosted ids, they have been updated as well along
with their values.
## Why It's Good For The Game
fixes#84153
- I found this through a runtime, but basically the boosted nodes missed
unit test checks. Having them defined should in future ensure that any
changes to them alert the maintainers. This will help in furthur
modularizing the code.
- As for the nodes themselves, I have put the exact nodes as much as
possible so they dont differ much from previous gameplay and how they
worked. Researched nodes that used to give points to those experiments,
will continue to do so, but albeit at a slower rate. This is because the
research point generation rate overall now has been increased.
## Changelog
🆑 ShizCalev, SpaceLove
refactor: Techweb strings are defined now so to maintain modularity
balance: Research papers will have less overall point generation.

## About The Pull Request
Adds boards for the book binder and scanner. The scanner requires one
scanning module while the binder requires one servo to make. Research
for the board was added to the computer tech research node as that's
where the other book related research was. Boards are available to print
at the service techfab.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Being able to (re)make the library is good. Irreparable machine is bad.
Writing down your work and being unable to scan it into the archive is
not good. Also allows the machine to be moved if needed.
## About The Pull Request
Reshuffles the tech tree nodes, adding reagent purity and cybernetic
organ scan experiments. The total point requirements barely changed.
Made the discount experiments unlock nodes for free, instead of
providing partial discounts, to provide more incentive to actually do
them.
Also devided all points by the amount generated per second, for
convenience. Now points correspond to seconds.

## Why It's Good For The Game
- Breaks bloated general nodes into more specialized nodes, making the
tree more balanced
- Combines scattered nodes dedicated to a single design into specialized
nodes, reducing the number of nodes
- Reshuffles the unlocks within specialized tree to adjust progression
on some trees to follow the idead: Cheap nodes first, then nodes that
require experiments or nodes of neighbouring trees, then expensive nodes
with end-game tech.
- You no longer need a dissection experiment to unlock a microwave,
every experiment is relevant to the tree unlocked by it
- With specialized nodes, it is easier to pick a node for the new things
that people add
- Better foundation for potential per-department point system. It will
be easier to put it on top of a cleaner tree
- The nodes are separated in tiers, with progressively increasing costs,
so that early tech is cheap and easy to research with just points, but
later tech is more expensive, making the discount experiments for those
more likely to be performed.
