aa4dc56835 Removes Station-time (more time changes) (#95744)
## About The Pull Request

Removes Station-Time entirely
Server Time is now NST (Nanotrasen Standard Time). SS13 takes place
exactly 540 years in the future of the current day, so every second is 1
second in-game.
Round Time is now PT (Pay-Time), how Nanotrasen keeps track of how long
the current rotation of Employees has been working for.

Telecomms uses NST due to its importance of being the communication to
the blackbox.

Autopsy report, clocks, scientific reports and requisitions use both
timestamps due to them being more official documents that NT may need to
know beyond just the current round (just for flavortext).

Pretty much everything else (Det scanner, PDA, IC logs, Time-of-Death,
AI law changes, Cyborg file downloading) uses PT

PT

# Other changes

1. Circuit time checker will now get the value of the given input (Hour,
Minute, Second) rather than the full dedisecond time converted into
hour/minutes/seconds

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/097440cc-1c45-447f-9976-18de7f9c722c"
/>

2. Turns nightshift into a round event that'll last approximately 22
minutes
3. 12-hour pref (doesn't apply to the stat panel because it's global
info) & removal of "TCT" time

<img width="569" height="440" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d39083b1-d248-41c0-9a1c-b2398ca203a7"
/>

4. The chocolate pudding negative moodlet is now based on the server's
IRL time.
5. Admins can now use ``class``, ``style`` and ``background`` (they were
already given perms to use ``img`` so hiding background, which was
removed to prevent image embedding, is pointless)
6. Also fixes ``year`` being off on localhost.


## Why It's Good For The Game

Server Time is approximately 1s = 12s converted, not including it
desyncing from lag (I believe?).
This makes it pretty much impossible for people to actually use this as
a unit of measurement for in-game actions.
Different things also uses different timestamps which is a bit more
confusing.

The main change here is for accessibility and, hopefully, using time as
a source of immersion. "20 minutes ago" is no longer OOC, they're just
speaking in PT. There's no timezones in space, Nanotrasen Standard Time
is the closest there is, but Pay Time is how NT considers when you get
your paychecks, so it's what is more commonly used.

It also fixes major inconsistencies between "IC time" and "Station
time", things like breakfast moodlet was the first 15mins of the round
despite the round starting like 7 hours in? Nukies with an L6 SAW firing
down the halls was shooting like 1 bullet every 3 seconds (assuming 4
bullets per second), overall there was just a disconnect between how
long time actually is in the universe.

The secondary reason for this change (though it is what pushed me to
actually get around to making this change) is the greater stat-panel
removal. This hopes to lessen the dependence on the stat panel for
station-time by making it easier to understand, and the end-goal I have
is for this information to be limited to Admins & the AI (AI will get
the IC version with the accurate year), so until that happens I would
like to improve the use of station-time by making it consistent (for
example, you should only care for PT for IC, which is also what your PDA
displays), so that when it gets removed it won't leave players timeless.

If you haven't already, and is interested in helping remove the stat
panel, every entry that needs to be removed can be found here -

Closes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/94988

## Changelog

🆑
del: Removed Station Time, now we use NST (Nanotrasen Standard Time),
which is IRL server time +540 years, and PT (Pay Time), the amount of
time since the round has started.
del: Station nightshift is now a Station event rather than being based
on Server time.
balance: Time circuit's Unit of Measure now tells the amount of time in
hour/minute/seconds rather than giving the whole time translated to
hours/minutes/seconds.
qol: Added a 12-hour clock pref for people who prefer it.
qol: Hovering over NST timestamps on official documents will now
translate how much it is in PT/Shift Time.
admin: Admins can now use style/class/background in their papercode.

LemonInTheDarkandGitHub 185a04a767 Implements configurable policy.json paths, so admins can better implement per server policy (#95620)
## About The Pull Request

Headmins were having trouble with per server policy (due to changes in
how their config is structured), this lets them repath policy.json, so
they can override it to a per server config (see the structure seen in
https://github.com/tgstation-operations/server-config)

Moved heretic ascension config into game_options, cause I think that's
what it is.

MrMelbertandGitHub e9d964789b Swags out the roundstart report (#95149)
## About The Pull Request

The roundstart report has been dripped out with a logo and some
additional flavor

<img width="585" height="916" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d0dab027-24e4-4d4a-a5ad-59616b3bf33d"
/>

The flavor messages are just some randomly selected lore tidbits or
filler text

Other changes:

- Paper now updates to your writing implement immediately, rather than
on process ticks.
- Adds a config to hide the dynamic report for cutting down the length
of the roundstart report. Disabled by default
- Footnotes now requires `R_FUN` rather than `R_ADMIN`

## Why It's Good For The Game

Makes the command report look a ton more official while introducing some
fun worldbuilding.

## Changelog

🆑 Melbert
qol: Paper UI now updates immediately when you pick up or drop a writing
tool.
qol: The roundstart command report has had its style updated, and now
contains some bonus lore.
admin: Changes the perms needed to add command report footnotes to "Fun"
rather than "Admin"
admin: Adds a verb for changing the command report main contents
(Requiring "Fun")
config: Adds a config for hiding the dynamic report, disabled by default
(disabled meaning you still get the report)

MrMelbertandGitHub c8647bdf6c Adds config for roundstart blue alert (#92015)
## About The Pull Request

Adds a config option `roundstart_blue_alert` which determines if the
station is put on blue alert on roundstart.

**Greenshifts** are unaffected, they will still have a unique
announcement indicating it's a greenshift

**Roundstart reports** are unaffected, they will be sent regardless. 

## Why It's Good For The Game

Some servers put more player agency on command to control the report
level, some servers re-theme the levels so blue is more of an involved
thing, some servers put more weight on the current level, etc. Giving
the option of staying on green until someone decides to up it is neat I
guess.

Before doing this I tried to find when this was even added - to see what
the justification was and make sure I wasn't violating it - and wasn't
successful. R4407 had "`Security Level Elevated`" in their reports but
didn't have security levels implemented, so it was purely fluff.

## Changelog

🆑 Melbert
config: Adds "roundstart_blue_alert", allowing you to disable roundstart
blue alert. Defaults to "on".

1c540bd546 Configurable events (removes mult config) (#90659)
## About The Pull Request

As said in https://forums.tgstation13.org/viewtopic.php?t=38517 - Admins
don't want to touch the event multiplier configs because,
``for example changing the mult to 1.5 would make heart attack only roll
on 60+ pop``

and ends with;
``it would be better to make a pull request to the codebase and alter
the min_player var on the events that are issues``

So why not let ALL events be editable by admins?
This PR makes every single event possible to be edited, though the json
only comes with the non-wizard non-holiday ones (though they are totally
addable if admins want to put it in, I just didnt think we should make
it obvious it's possible so they DONT)

The config is off by default (no effect regardless since I have it the
same as code-side).

## Why It's Good For The Game

The multiplier config is rendered irrelevant by instead being able to
tweak the individual events to your liking, especially when one touch of
that causes certain events to be rendered never runnable.
This is (sorta) an admin request, and it also makes event rarities and
such an admin issue, therefore not our problem anymore (mostly), wahoo.

Get FUCKED, Grid Check!

cbc3350224 Custom Shuttles Redux: Allows for the construction of custom shuttles. (#88493)
## About The Pull Request

This incredibly detailed PR adds the ability to construct custom
shuttles, which function similarly to whiteships.

To construct a custom shuttle, you need the following items:
- Shuttle frame rods
These rods can be hand-crafted by using 5 rods on 1 sheet of titanium,
or printed at a sci/engi/cargo lathe after researching the Shuttle
Engineering techweb node.
Lattices built with these rods, and catwalks/floors built on top of
these lattices, are valid for shuttle construction.
- Shuttle engines
Did you know shuttle engines have boards that weren't normally
obtainable? Well the board for one specific engine type is now available
from the sci/engi/cargo lathe after researching Shuttle Engineering. Of
course, the old options remain. You can steal engines from other
shuttles, including escape pods (it's not like engines are strictly
necessary for *those* shuttles anyways). Alternatively, the shuttle
engine supply pack is no longer locked behind the purchase of the BYOS.
- Flight Control & Navigation Console boards
These boards are printed at the sci/engi/cargo lathe after researching
the Shuttle Engineering techweb node.
If built on a custom shuttle, it will automatically link to it, unless
the shuttle already has such a console.
If built on a turf that is valid for custom shuttle construction, it
will automatically link to any shuttle constructed from or expanded with
that turf.
- Shuttle blueprints
Standard shuttle blueprints can be printed at the sci/engi/cargo lathe
after researching the Shuttle Engineering techweb node.
A cyborg upgrade granting access to a shuttle blueprint database can be
printed at the exofab after researching the aforementioned node.
Crude shuttle blueprints can be crafted by hand with a sheet of paper
and either a rainbow crayon or 10 uses of a blue crayon or spraycan.

If Science won't research the tech, you can also buy a goody pack
containing a flight control board, a docker board, two engine boards,
and a set of shuttle blueprints for 1200 credits, if you have aux base
access.

A shuttle can be constructed atop any continuous region of turfs
containing a shuttle rod lattice or a catwalk/tile built upon such.
Currently, this region cannot intersect any area other than space,
lavaland, the icemoon, or the station asteroid. Preexisting custom areas
can be included in the construction of the shuttle, but only if every
turf in the custom area is valid for shuttle construction.

In the shuttle blueprint UI, you can toggle a visualizer to display
which turfs fulfill all of the aforementioned conditions.

The following video goes through the basic process of shuttle
construction.


https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3283422e-a201-4978-972d-67527b5df4ee

The blueprint used to construct the shuttle will be its master
blueprint. The master blueprint can be copied to other blank shuttle
blueprints (or to engiborgs with the shuttle database upgrade), and
allows the holder to perform a christening ritual on the shuttle to
rename it.
If a shuttle's master blueprint ceases to exist, a blank blueprint can
be linked to the shuttle to become the new master blueprint, or an
existing blueprint associated with that shuttle can be promoted to the
master blueprint.

Once constructed, the following options are available from the blueprint
UI to modify it:
- Create Area
Convert a continuous open area of the shuttle into a new area with the
name written in the above text input. This operates very similarly to
regular area construction.
- Rename Area
Change the name of the area you're currently in to the name written in
the above text input.
- Expand Area
Add a continuous open area of the shuttle to the neighboring area
selected from the dropdown to the left. This operates like regular area
expansion.
- Expand Shuttle
Expand a shuttle with valid frame turfs as defined above. These turfs
must be physically connected to the shuttle.
- Remove Area
    Remove an area, giving its tiles to the default shuttle area.
- Cleanup Empty Space (implemented after the above video was recorded)
Removes all completely empty turfs from the shuttle. If all the turfs in
one of the shuttle's areas were removed, that area is deleted. If
absolutely no turfs of the shuttle remain, the shuttle itself is
deleted. Due to the ability for this action to delete the shuttle, only
the master blueprint can do it.

As mentioned above, the shuttle's master blueprint can be used to
christen its associated shuttle. To do this, fill a glass drink bottle
with some amount of reagents, then hit it against one of the shuttle's
walls from outside while holding the master blueprint. You will be
prompted to enter a new name for the shuttle. The variety of things that
can happen while inputting a new name can cause the christening rite to
fail in one of several humorous ways.

### Optional (Unless specifically requested by a maintainer) Todo's
- [x] A way for shuttle circuits to be obtainable without techweb nodes
- [x] A more convenient way to carry around shuttle engines or the means
to deploy them
- [ ] A shuttle construction guide available as a reference book
- [ ] Allow boards to be linked to shuttles before construction so they
can be used outside the shuttle

## Why It's Good For The Game

Shuttles have been part of the sandbox for an incredibly long time, but
their limited accessibility has rendered them the exclusive territory of
lucky space explorers or the few antagonists who get one off the bat
(nukies and pirates). Giving players the means to construct shuttles to
their liking opens up a variety of possibilities for gimmicks for antags
and non-antags alike.

Besides the applications for antaggery and crew-sided gimmicks, this
provides side content for several departments to engage with during the
relatively-frequent periods of time where they have little else to do as
part of their intended roles.

With respect to engineering, if the station isn't actively being
damaged, the supermatter is in perfect working order, and nobody is
clamoring for machine upgrades, engineers have little else to resort to
other than construction projects. While the BSA station goal provides an
incentive for engineers to construct dedicated rooms for the cannon, it
will not necessarily be available every round. Custom shuttles not only
provide such a construction project to pursue, but provide the rare
opportunity, as well as a very good reason, to set up an independent
power network, complete with its own power source.

While atmos techs have a lot to do with gas mixing and the crystallizer,
they rarely get the opportunity to set up working life support systems
outside of repairing the ones that get blown up. Custom shuttles will
frequently start with no air, and unless the design settled upon is an
open floor plan, it will have several independent chambers that cannot
so easily be profused with a proper airmix by just opening a canister.
Furthermore, if the air in a custom shuttle gets messed up, a proper
scrubber and distro network is a significantly less tedious method of
rectifying the problem than cleaning the air manually with portable
scrubbers and pumps.

Scientists, it can be argued, with their access to RPDs through
ordnance, have similar opportunities to atmos techs, even though the act
in and of itself is not exactly part of their duties. But compared to
the other job content they could be working with after they've completed
most of their gameplay loop, custom shuttle construction is a
substantially more active endeavor. And I know how much people complain
about late-game science content just being sitting around at a console
and making gamer gear. Roboticists can have a part to play in this too.
They can put their mech RCDs to a use other than 2D topdown Fortnite,
and with the shuttle database upgrade, they can help interested cyborgs
get in on the action.

Cargo is yet another department known for having significant amounts of
downtime during a considerable number of rounds. If every other
department has gone through their initial rounds of departmental orders,
and there isn't an active need for cargo to order lots of one thing or
another, cargo techs have little to do besides mail (at least on the
days where there **is** mail to deliver). Usually, if cargo techs do, in
fact, do something as a department when not presented with more pressing
duties, they order guns and other contraband. As funny as this is,
there's not a lot of variety in how this behavior manifests. With custom
shuttles, cargo can use their free time to plan, and execute, a unique
collective expression of design sensibilities, not limited by the size
and shape constraints of the cargo bay itself.

JacquerelandGitHub 8c6062e948 Traitor Reputation does not scale with population & reintroduces population locked items (#89617)
## About The Pull Request

Closes #89617

Prior to progression traitor some items were only available with a
minimum number of (normally 25) players in the round.
These items were:
- The dual esword
- Noslip shoes
- The ebow
- Holoparasite
- Sleeping Carp
- Contractor Kit
- Maybe a couple of others that I forgot to write down

When we moved to a progression system this concept was merged with
reputation; under 20 players your reputation would advance more slowly
thus making these "dangerous" items less obtainable and also serving as
a sort of scaling factor on rewards (with fewer players the secondary
objectives are easier to complete, so the reward is commesurately
lower).

Now that we have removed secondary objectives this doesn't really make
sense any more, so now reputation simply advances at a rate of one
second per second all the time, but that leaves the old population locks
in question.

So... I just recoded items that are only available when there are enough
players

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/206577f0-dfdb-4b53-a00f-36e39b2a7f44)

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8f840168-9550-4c77-aad0-cb87beb20499)
(This iconography simply vanishes once the pop level is reached).

Note that this is based on "players who have joined" (roundstart +
latejoin), not "players who are online" or "players who are alive".
Once an item becomes available it will never stop being available, but
it only becomes available based on people who are playing and not
watching.

Currently the only items I applied this to (with a value of 20 players)
are:
- Dual esword
- Sleeping Carp
- Spider Extract (the spider antagonist usually requires like 27
players)
- Romerol

It isn't applied to anything else.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Reputation isn't really a tool used to designate how dangerous an item
is any more (if it ever was) and resultingly it doesn't make any sense
to slow its gain based on population.
Some items though we maybe still don't want to show up in a "low pop"
round because they'll create an overall unsatisfying experience, so we
should be able to remove those items from play.

## Changelog

🆑
balance: Traitor reputation now advances at a fixed rate, not dependent
on current server population.
balance: The dual esword, sleeping carp scroll, spider extract, and
romerol vial cannot be purchased if fewer than 20 players have joined
the game.

JacquerelandGitHub 23ac16411d Removes Secondary & Final Objectives from Traitors (#89466)
## About The Pull Request


![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cb0bffb3-33be-4fb1-baec-a4d0f4a4cd57)
Pre-discussed with @Watermelon914, this PR removes Secondary & Final
Objectives from all Traitors, rather than just midround ones. It also
removes all of the surrounding supporting code.
Randomly assigned Primary Objectives still exist, I just used the
ability to rewrite mine to take the screenshot.

In terms of final objectives, the surrounding items that were available
still exist but don't necessarily have sources.
If anyone has good ideas for readding these in some other form it can be
done in future PRs.

It also allows all traitors to buy the Contractor kit, previously
limited to midround traitors which lacked secondary objectives, because
now all traitors lack secondary objectives.

This essentially limits all traitors to a maximum of 20 TC (16 if they
spawn with an uplink implant). Currently I don't foresee that they
strictly need any additional way of gaining TC during a round as 20 is
quite sufficient, but it may take some time to adjust and get used to it
after such a long time of having access to more. If we need to adjust
the starting value or add a slow drip of more points over time or
something, that can be done in followup PRs.

This also removes the ability to recreate your uplink added by my
beautiful wife in #74315
This was part of the progression traitor design document, but ultimately
probably a bad idea as it essentially made traitors impossible to
properly disarm. You will once more just need to carefully protect your
uplink.

**This does not remove the threat/progression system**. 
Like midround traitors, all Reputation requirements on gear are now
simple timelocks, most of which will have elapsed by the time 30 minutes
have passed.

**Finally** this PR also adds Romerol to the traitor uplink for 25 TC
and 30 minutes of reputation, as a treat (and because I removed the
final objective that previously granted it).

## Why It's Good For The Game

We've tried this system for a long time (3 years last month!) and while
I think it had a lot of promise, enabled some cool moments, and also
solved several of the problems it set out to solve, overall I think some
of the behaviours it has encouraged in players have been overall
negative for the game.
While the _game systems_ are fine, even quite fun and cool (especially
final objectives) I am of the opinion that having them in the game
creates a net negative purely in the way that they react with players'
_brains_, creating incentives towards behaviour we don't actually want
people to pursue.

While it's hard-to-impossible to prove any of this with hard data, there
has been a prevailing feeling for some time among many (though certainly
not all) people that the simple fact of _having_ a constant drip-feed of
objective available to players leads directly to less interesting
antagonist play. While certainly nobody is _forced_ to do secondary
objectives you are directly and quite strongly rewarded for doing so,
doing so efficiently, and doing so in a way which makes sure that nobody
(alive) sees you do it. This leads to a tendency to play defensively and
try to maximise the number of tasks you can complete in one round, which
also has a knock-on effect of generally minimising the number of people
you attempt to interact with in a round (unless you are killing them).

Even people who _intend_ on doing some more interesting gimmick can fall
into this trap, as "having more tools" is always useful for anyone who
is intending on any kind of plan at all, but then executing on the
secondary objectives again incentivises you to lay low, not interact
with anyone, be efficient, and then reduces the time you are spending
doing the thing that's your actual plan for the round. Removing the
ever-present temptation to fish for extra TC leaves "doing whatever your
actual plan is" as the sole thing to optimise.

Final Objectives too have created unfortunate psychological effects
between crewsided players and other antagonists. Because of the _threat_
(no matter how remote, Final Objectives have always been tuned to be
appropriately rare) that leaving any antagonist alone will cause them to
snowball by acquiring more power, it starts to feel foolish to respond
to any threat with less than the maximum possible level of force even if
they seem relatively innocuous in the moment. This even has an effect on
other non-progression antagonists, as traitors are the most common
antagonist type and how people treat them is going to be their default
level of reaction to most other station threats.

While there has always been the promise of expanding the system with
novel and exciting objectives that leverage appearing mid-round to do
something unique, we've taken very little advantage of that over time.
Most objectives we have added that didn't boil down to "kill someone,
with a twist" have been somewhat unsuccessful, serving either as ways to
get yourself arrested and killed for no reason or ways to get free
telecrystals by doing something the crew don't really care about
stopping you from doing. The option still exists to add more roundstart
objectives to traitors, if someone suddenly has a great idea that would
fit in this space.

The ideal outcome of making this change is a slight relaxation of crew
attitude towards feeling like their only option after catching an
antagonist that isn't sandbagging is to permanently remove them from the
round (although it's fine to do this still in many scenarios), and a
broadening of traitorous activity which is not purely focused on
collecting as many checkboxes as possible and might give people more
time to roleplay with other players, not worrying that this time could
have been more efficiently spent pursuing a different secondary goal.
I don't anticipate or desire that this will prevent traitors from
killing anyone (or even stop them from killing people they don't have a
specific objective to kill), I just want to remove the FOMO from
people's minds.

Also this gives us something to talk about at the coder townhall meeting
on the 22nd.

## Changelog

🆑
del: Misplaced or stolen traitor uplinks can no longer be recreated
using a radio code and special device, guard yours carefully or buy a
backup implant.
del: Roundstart traitors can no longer take on additional objectives in
order to earn additional Telecrystals and fast-forward any unlock timers
on items. They also cannot earn the ability to complete a Final
Objective.
balance: Roundstart traitors can now buy the Contractor Kit from their
traitor uplink, rather than only midround traitors.
add: Traitors can buy Romerol for 25 TC, after 30 minutes of time has
passed in a round.

grungussussandGitHub bd0c33b9bd unhandicaps station drones (#87983)
## About The Pull Request
- makes area-based shy-ness for drones config
- reduces the cooldown on touching machines as a shy drone from 1 minute
to 20 seconds
## Why It's Good For The Game
This was admin issues solved by codebase, no one plays drones anymore
and those who do - complain that they're not fun because of the heavy
restrictions imposed upon them.
If I remember correctly - the playtime restriction on our servers is 20
silicon hours? or 10 silicon hours? It's a config thing I can't check.
This means it shouldn't be a problem with ban evaders and such.
Area restrictions are odd because drones can't get more air from atmos
and they can't make power from SM, which is in their laws.
If a drone is messing with your SM then kill it, or ahelp if it keeps
coming back?
For context:
```
"1. You may not involve yourself in the matters of another being, even if such matters conflict with Law Two or Law Three, unless the other being is another Drone.\n"+\
"2. You may not harm any being, regardless of intent or circumstance.\n"+\
"3. Your goals are to actively build, maintain, repair, improve, and provide power to the best of your abilities within the facility that housed your activation."
```
## Changelog

CliffracerXandGitHub b9f171109e Human authority defaults edit (#87380)
## About The Pull Request

Extremely simple PR that edits the defaults for the new config options
added in #86886 - this restores the default behaviour that was in place
before #86886; human authority is disabled but easily restored to TG
norms by uncommenting the associated line in the config.

This doesn't impact any of the TG servers directly since they're all on
TGS and have static config files, but this does avoid downstreams being
blindsided by their configs mysteriously breaking and test instances
having behaviour change. I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying
to figure out what *I* broke the past day, only to realize it was an
upstream issue breaking configs all along, and I strongly suspect I
won't be the only one.

## Why It's Good For The Game

No impact on the TG playerbase directly, this is just for the sanity of
developers and downstreams that use static configs. More time spent
being productive, less time spent wondering if your PR buggered up
spawnin and humanized everyone.

2f4db9bb65 Adds more extensive config settings for human authority (#86886)
## About The Pull Request
Before there were two settings for human authority:
`ENFORCE_HUMAN_AUTHORITY` and `ENFORCE_HUMAN_AUTHORITY_ON_EVERYONE`
The first, if enabled, would not let non-humans be heads of staff unless
they had a specific var on their job set to TRUE.
The second, if enabled, would simply ignore that var and reject the
non-human anyways.

This PR replaces both of those settings with a single one,
`HUMAN_AUTHORITY`. You can set it to one of four settings:
* "OFF": human authority will be turned OFF. Non-Humans will be able to
be heads of staff.
* "HUMAN WHITELIST": human authority will be turned OFF, HOWEVER; if a
job has its new `human_authority` variable set to
`JOB_AUTHORITY_HUMANS_ONLY`, then whoever picks that job will be forced
to be human.
* "NON-HUMAN WHITELIST": human authority will be turned ON. However, if
a job has its `human_authority` variable set to
`JOB_AUTHORITY_NON_HUMANS_ALLOWED`, a non-human can become that job.
This is what we have now, it works the same as if
`ENFORCE_HUMAN_AUTHORITY` were turned on. This is also what I've set as
the default value.
* "ENFORCED" human authority will be turned ON. Non-Humans will never be
able to be heads of staff. This is what
`ENFORCE_HUMAN_AUTHORITY_ON_EVERYONE` used to do.

You can also now set the `human_authority` variable through
`jobconfig.toml`!

## Why It's Good For The Game

Allows more configuration options for downstreams, and lets keyholders
and headmins have more options over how to set up human authority.

## Changelog

config: Both human authority settings were combined into a singular one,

GhomandGitHub e00eb5ec6a Added a config to override the def gateway delay for specific start points. (#85341)
## About The Pull Request
I've a few gripes with start points and the gateway delay. First of all,
there's no way to discriminate peaceful away locations that do not need
a with a 30 minutes timegate from the rest. Places like the beach and
the museum hardly have anything OP that could tip the scales.

Second, none of the awaystart landmarks have identifiers of their own,
which means all awaystart landmarks from all away missions are linked
under the same destination point datum. This is hardly an issue in the
current state where only one map is ever loaded and all maps have only
one way in that directs you to one of several locations at least until
the gateways are linked, but it's nevertheless something that I have to
take care of, since the config requires it.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Title. It's an exponent that multiplies weights of random spawners.
For example, if the exponent were 0.8, and the spawner has a natural

adminodrazine, after calculations it'd be roughly 99.6% vs 0.4%.

## Why It's Good For The Game
This can give admins/keyholders more control over random spawners.

ProfakosandGitHub b20c982404 Converts slimes to basic mobs (#82176)
## About The Pull Request

After months of preparation, and further months of work, I am finally
done. Please bear with me, as this is a massive refactor, but I have
already atomized everything I could. This is now ready for review.

General

- 	The hilbert hotel slimes are now a subtype instead of a varedit.
- The `use_mob_ability` subtree now also accepts non cooldown abilities.
If set_behaviours is set up properly, mobs won't keep continously
triggering it as if it were a 0 second cooldown action. The alternative
would have been turning the slime abilities into cooldown abilities.
- Wrestling off a slime now signs up to the `COMSIG_ATOM_ATTACK_HAND`
signal, instead of being part of attack_hand.
- Adds datum/ai_controller/controller as a fourth, optional argument to
`/datum/ai_behavior/find_hunt_target/valid_dinner()` to make it possible
to access blackboard keys.
- Slimes no longer attack windows if they would accidentally move into
them (when the conditions are met), since random walk behaviour ignores
tiles they can't go in. It was also not worth to keep. Did you know this
was the sole override of `ObjBump()`?
- Examine was made less snowflaky/bespoke. Also added a new element:
`/datum/element/basic_health_examine`, which is a simple bespoke element
that prints out a custom message based on how damaged the basic mob it
is attached to is.
- Slimes only perform knockdown instead of paralysis, as they can attack
more often now, and paralysis is not that fun.
- LAssailant has been removed due being archaic code. To befriend a
slime, you have to spawn a monkey with the slime console, or feed them a
sheet of plasma. Simple grabbing the monkey or stuffing them in
disposals do not work anymore. Slime console spawned monkeys will have a
visible status effect, with pheromones coming off them to make this
clearer.

Actions
- 	Feeding, reproduction and evolution is no longer a verb.
- Slime feeding is no longer an action button. You have to use right
click, or as previously, mousedrop. Slimes can always unbuckle from mobs
they are attached to.

Hunger 

- Instead randomly changing the starvation and max nutrition values
while growing up, evolution costs 200 nutrion. This makes the code more
readable, and behaviour more predictable, while still giving the
intended time between evolving and splitting. As a result, I could also
turn these into defines.
- Added a component that handles doing an effect over time while buckled
to a mob, until the mob dies or you get unbuckled.
- Slimes gained nutrition is no longer randomly multiplied by the damage
config value, but rather gain nutrition equal to twice the damage dealt.
You'll have to eat one monkey to evolve, just as before.
- Slimes do not heal passively. They only heal from eating. It was a
rather miniscule value that did not have much effect.
- Slimes generate electricity from hunger threshold, instead of the
random amount of hunger threshold + 100.

Environment

- Slimes take 15 damage from cold every second, instead of using a
complex formula (that also decreased the damage up to a point?).
- Slimes still heal from burn damage, but this is now set on the damage
coefficient list.
- Slimes instead of getting stunned by the cold, freeze in an ice cube.
BZ instead of setting them unconscious, calls the stasis status effect,
allowing you to safely stash your hungry slimes for later. They also no
longer slow down from the cold, as they are already slowed down by the
damage they get. Conversely they no longer get a speed up from a random
amount of temperature. I could be convinced to readd this either as part
of the basic sensitive component, or a similar one.

AI
- Removed the attacked_stacks system. Slimes will just perform regular
retaliation if you hit them in a harmful manner.
- Slimes now use the pet orders component. They will interrupt their
feeding when given a command by their master.
- Slimes have their own subtrees. I tried to replicate as much as I
could from the old code, dividing ancient code artifacts and intentional
stuff, so there might be some weirdness.
- Slime speech has been almost fully reduced to basic blorbing, as you
can not even understand them anymore, and most of them require the slime
to loop through all of their surroundings.
- Discipline does not have stacks either. Disciplined baby slimes have a
chance to clear their attack and hunt blackboard keys. All slimes will
stop feeding on the target otherwise.
- Since discipline is not a stack, rabidity instead gets removed at a
10% chance per disciplining.
- 	Slimes faces are a bit more randomly picked now.

## Why It's Good For The Game

- We want to convert all simple animals to basic mobs. Old slime code
was also very strange, and had some systems that have been replicated by
components.
- Slimes fully paralyzing you is not fun at all. Knockdown should give
you a fighting chance when a slime would like to eat you.
- Slimes slow down from the heavy damage they get from the cold, so I
don't think they need extra slowdown, nor do they need to speed up from
warmth, as they are already fast.
- Slimes turning into an icecube instead of becoming paralyzed from the
cold is more fun for the slimes, as they can break out for a few
moments. It is also funny.
- Slimes entering proper stasis from BZ is not just a visual indicator
of a slime that is safe to approach, but also keeps the slimes's hunger
value in check, allowing it to not starve while stopped. They can also
look around and blorble, instead of staring at a black screen, if player
controlled.
- The attack_stack and discipline_stack behaviours were rather
overcomplicated, and the xenobio mains I talked with didn't even know it
was a thing, so I argue it needed simplification.
- The bespoke friendship system of slimes was also too complicated.
Slimes slowly gained levels of trust, and at certain levels commands
costed friendship, and other levels, they did not. The binary friend/not
friend system that everything else in the game uses is much more
sensible.
- Using right click for feeding is much more sensible than using an
action, and then picking someone from a dropdown.
- Slime speech was very soulful but not only did it loop through
everything in sight, you couldn't even understand it unless you spoke
slime. Maybe it can be readded later in a different form.
- Slime's passive healing was miniscule, and having them rely on feeding
is more interesting.

fixes #81463

## Changelog

🆑
refactor: Slimes are now basic mobs. Please report any strange
behaviours!
balance: Slimes only stun you for two seconds when they shock you, the
rest of the duration is a knockdown.
balance: Slimes are not stunned from the cold, but rather, get frozen in
a freon icecube. BZ also puts them in complete stasis, instead of making
them unconscious. Their speed is likewise unchanged by temperatures.
balance: Slimes do not passively heal, they instead rely on feeding.
fix: Slimes can use the buckling screen alert to unbuckle and stop
feeding, along with clicking on the mob they are riding

Dani GloreandGitHub 495fde6a2c Add: 2 Quirks Configs (#81033)
## About The Pull Request

This PR adds two new config options for quirks:
- *Flag* `DISABLE_QUIRK_POINTS`
  - When enabled, disables quirk points balancing.
- When enabled, players can select positive quirks without first
selecting negative ones.
- When enabled, the quirk points balance visually hides itself on the
Quirks page.
- *Number* `MAX_POSITIVE_QUIRKS`
- Limits the maximum quantity of positive quirks which players can
select using the Character Preferences page.
  - I ported this from the old `MAX_QUIRKS` define.
- When set to `0`, players won't be able to select any positive quirks,
and they won't appear on the Quirks page.
- When set to `-1`, players will be able to select any quantity of
positive quirks.
  - When commented-out or undefined, the default is `6`.
- When set to `0` or `-1`, the positive quirk balance visually hides
itself on the Quirks page.

## Why It's Good For The Game

There is some downstream repositories asking for the quirks system to be
configurable. Additionally, I always find myself tweaking these values
on my own private servers and I thought it would be nice to share my
edits. Usually I was simply commenting-out sections of this code in
order to get the same result, so it helps to have an official way to
disable quirk points.

GhomandGitHub a59cebea56 Increased odds of station traits a little. Introduced a "budget", so smaller traits only take half as much space. (#80211)
## About The Pull Request
Recently, I chatted with others about how few station traits are rolled
on a round by round basis - about 59% of the shifts go without either
positive or negative traits for example - and how the mild most of these
traits are (not a bad thing per se), which results in an underwhelming
feature, despite the more interesting bits of it. So, after sharing
opinions, I've decided to make this PR to increase the rolls and odds a
bit.

EDIT: After reading comments and taking some time to think this
thoroughfully, I've decided to push the probabilities back a little in
favor of a simple budget system for station traits, to allow for smaller
things to only count as half a station trait. This mean smaller traits
won't necessarily stop "better" ones from rolling, or at least allow for
plentier permutations of traits that do not affect the round TOO much.
I've also reduced the weight of the glitched pda beeps trait from 15 to
10, the same of scarves, wallets and colored assistant jumpsuits.

## Why It's Good For The Game

I believe the current odds of station traits to be a smidge low, and
that the lack of any sort of cost-budget for station traits to hurt the
rarer, more interesting traits (and the feature in general) if the more
common, milder ones take just as much space. It's totally within the
spirit of the feature to have small, niche traits, though they can get
quite boring pretty fast on their own, so what I'm saying is that their
cost should stay low so that other traits can roll.

## Changelog

refactor: Introduced a simple budget system to station traits, so that
smaller things only count as half a trait, for example.

fc854e7076 Removes TTS voice disable option (#76530)
## About The Pull Request
Removes the TTS voice disable option, which was already unavailable on
TG as it was set to off by default. The reason this was added was so
that downstreams could toggle the config on or off.

## Why It's Good For The Game
I think this option fundamentally undermines the TTS system because it
allows individual players to disable their voice globally, meaning that
players who have TTS enabled will not be able to hear them.

This worsens the experience for players who have TTS enabled and it's
not something I want to include as an option. If players don't like
their voice, they can turn TTS off for themselves so that they don't
hear the voices. If players don't want to customize their voice, they
can quickly choose a random voice, and we can take directions in the
future to make voice randomization consistent with gender so that a male
does not get randomly assigned a female voice and vice versa.

This option is already unavailable on TG servers because it was
primarily added for downstreams, but I don't think giving downstreams
the option to undermine the TTS system is the right direction to take.
Downstreams are still completely free to code this option on their own
codebase.

IndieanaJonesandGitHub daa33d89fe Xenomorph/Alien Rework 2023: Part 1 (#75286)
## About The Pull Request

Alternative to #75277

Kept you waiting, huh?

This PR is the first part of a Xenomorph rework which seeks to make the
big lugs more balanced and up to date with /tg/'s current design. This
mainly involves curtailing xenomorph's infamous hardstuns into more
interactive forms of combat, while also giving some buffs to the
xenomorph's more unique abilities in order to keep them threatening.

Part 1 will focus on simple number changes and some simple mechanic
changes. In the future, changes will be made to endgame involving
xenomorphs, along with changes to other facets of Xenomorphs.

Highly based off of #55937.

Changes:

- Xenomorph disarm has been completely reworked. While a disarm will
attempt to, well, disarm, a human opponent should they be holding
something, it will no longer immediately hardstun targets when they
aren't. Instead, the xenomorph will shove the target several tiles back
and inflict 35 stamina damage. If the target slams into a wall, this
will also come with the added effect of knocking them down. If a human
is incapacitated, however, right click will slam them into the ground,
which paralyzes them for a lengthy 5 seconds (which is ultimately half
the time xenos could stun you for before), allowing for safe transport
back to the nest as long as you keep them close.

- Humans can now shove xenomorphs. Due to being the superior predator,
however, you can't knock down xenomorphs from shoving. You can slow them
for a little bit akin to humans though.

- Neurotoxin no longer is a hardstun. Instead, it deals 50 stamina
damage on contact. It is still resisted by BIO armor.

**HUNTER:**
- Speed reduced from -1 to -0.3.
- Pounce speed is twice as fast as before (1 to 2)
- Hardstun time on pounce reduced from 10 seconds to 5 seconds.

Hunters being insanely fast has been a major balance-ruining factor of
xenomorphs for many years now. These buggers could practically ambush
anyone, hardstun them immediately, and then leave before anyone could do
anything. Now, with their speed nerfed and in combination with the xeno
shove changes, hunters will need to spend more time to down a target.
Their pounce was practically useless, so its been sped up in order to
make it more practical to use.

**SENTINEL**
- Speed reduced from 0 to 0.2
- Cloak alpha reduced from 0.75 to 0.25 (you're more hidden now)

Sentinels receive a large nerf in regards to their spit, but their
before useless cloaking ability has been greatly improved upon as
compensation. They now serve better as defenders and ranged ambushers.

**XENOMORPH DRONE**
- No changes

As in the original PR, drones are perfeclty balanced in my eyes, so no
changes were required.

**XENOMORPH PRAETORIAN**
- Speed increased from 1 to 0.5
- No changes

Praetorians get affected by the nerfs of the other xeno abilities, but
now they're a bit faster in order to close the gap to use their
abilities.

**XENOMORPH QUEEN**
- Speed increased from 3 to 2
- Health increased from 400 to 500
- Damage increased from 20 to 50

Xenomorph queens have been sped up and made more tanky and lethal in
close-range combat. Fighting this beast up-close should be a death
sentence to almost anything else in the game. Speed increases will help
her re-position and close the gap on potential prey.

**OTHER CHANGES**
- Fixed a bug where simplemobs didn't actually use xenomorph's damage
values when they were attacked by them.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Xenomorphs are old, and haven't been updated for quite a long time. This
has left them as sources of a bunch of hardstuns which made counterplay
from a modern spaceman extremely difficult. With these changes, fighting
xenomorphs is more interactive and should end up being more enjoyable
for both crew and xenos. Buffs were also given out to incentivize usage
of xenomorph's unique abilities as opposed to the standard disarm spam
which was most effective for them until now.

## Changelog
🆑
balance: Xenos have been rebalanced, removing their hardstuns on their
disarm and neurotoxin, along with a slew of other changes. Xenos have
received buffs to their more unique abilities in return.
fix: Fixed simplemobs ignoring xenomorph's melee damage values when
being attacked by them.

LemonInTheDarkandGitHub 8982828d05 Removes Starlight Config (#74289)
## About The Pull Request

It was config'd off to save init time, but having it function in testing
and mapping is more valuble then the time spend on it.

On that topic, we spend roughly 1.7 seconds of init on this. 
~1.3 is spent handling the light sources and their light object
modifications (this is potentailly inflated since other sources could
cause the same objects to need updates)
~0.3 is spent searching for space turfs around lighting_objects during
init.
This will impact change_turf slightly too, costing about ~0.07 in local
testing.

It does save time for live however, since we avoid these config checks.

## Why It's Good For The Game

I believe this time is worth spending. 
I've had people try to "fix" artifacts of starlight not being enabled,
things that aren't bugs.
The test environment should as much as we can make it reflect the visual
reality of the game. This helps ensure that

## About The Pull Request

---

Adds a system for tutorials that:

- Are contextually given
- Are not given again after completion
- Can optionally not trigger for anyone who first played before a
certain date

Uses this system for a tutorial for switching hands/dropping items. This
tutorial is triggered when you try to click on an item with another
item, and `afterattack` return FALSE. In order for this to work as
smoothly as possible, I'm going to open a separate PR that cleans up the
`afterattack` on everything to either return TRUE/FALSE.

## Why It's Good For The Game

SS13 is an extremely confusing game, being able to do tutorials in a
non-intrusive way (like a separate tutorial mode) is nice.

The system in place is going to be perfectly usable for introducing
mechanics to both fresh players and experienced players alike (such as
for future content).

## Changelog

qol: New players will now get a contextual tutorial for how to switch
hands and drop items.

san7890andGitHub 5dc17bd865 Security's Scaling Departmental Accesses - More Pop, More Problems (#68534)
lternative to #68527
About The Pull Request

Hey there,

This is an alternative PR that I concocted based on talking with Goof on that PR. Basically, we already have a nicely complicated system to track and balance the number of security officers we have in a shift based on some config coefficient setting, by which we can set the amount of lockers that spawn in on the start of a round, as well as determine truly how many security officers we have.

image

So, I've decided to leverage this in another way. Basically, based on the number of security officers in a shift, their specific departmental officers will also get more (elevated) accesses. They already start with a certain amount of access, but they can get more if it is a low-pop shift with the mechanic introduced in this PR. For example, an Engineering Security Officer can access Atmospherics and Engineering departments by default, but they can't access Telecommunications unless there is a lower population of players AT SHIFT START. Same for a Medical Security Officer accessing Medbay, but not Plumbing.

Update: I have made it such that there are three system that server operators can set:

They can use the Scaling System that operates in the same method outlined in the rest of the PR.
They can disable giving departmental security officers "elevated access" (such as access beyond the "front doors") to these officers.
Finally, they can also just always ensure that departmental security officers get the maximal accesses possible.

The default setting is the "Scaling System" outlined in this PR, which is already dependent on the general Security Officer Scaling Co-Efficient.
Why It's Good For The Game

I think it's better to involve some more nuanced config scaling that we already have present in the game. The major theme that we want to avoid is that departmental security officers having maximal accesses when there is an already large number of persons on the security force will result in "miserable" shifts for the common person working within a department (security metaprotections). However, some server operators (as well as server cultures) tend to have very wide ranges in how many security officers they have on a shift-by-shift basis. One day, you could have 0-2 security officers, the next, you could have 4-6. It's all variable on who's playing (as always). There is also a significant variation between server to server in regards to how many security officer slots you tend to have on spawn, but this is already manageable by the security officer co-efficient in config.

I believe this PR is an acceptable proposal within the bounds of #68527 (comment) , although it may bend certain aspects of it, I definitely do see where some people may be coming from. I believe I've adjusted the accesses to a "sane"/justifiable amount, but I'll come back to think on everything.

"Red-tiding" may or may not be a problem, but there's always just going to be something inherently silly with a security officer being able to walk into plumbing to start plumbing. I hoped that this would be seen as a positive as opposed to a negative, but I can see how it could negatively impact player experience. HOWEVER, interplayer experience should not be handled by the codebase in all aspects, which is why I've also passed in the associated config variables, so that server operators (who should handle the interplayer experience with their level of discretion and nuance) can.
What accesses are where?

The general philosophy as I thought through designing this would be that the security officer should at the very least have general "front-door" access into a department, and maybe something benign. If we had even more per-door accesses, this could definitely be a bit more granular (one example I can think of would only atmospherics technicians having access to the "Pump Room", while Security Officers would not. However, this is for a later date). So, you have the "default" access you always get, and a potential to get "elevated" access as a Departmental Security Officer.

The balances are as such:

The Cargo Security Officer will have access to the Cargo Bay, Mining Section, and the Shipping Room. The first two are rather general areas, with the Shipping Room being a rather good help for rescuing (or "rescuing") flushed crewmembers when the cargo techies can't get to it/no AI. The Auxiliary Base is not essential to the security officer's functions, and the mining station helps restrict access further on stations like IceBox. This would also grant them extra access to the Lavaland base, so let's snip that out.

The Engineering Security Officer should have access to only general Engineering and Atmospherics. Construction pertains to certain rooms in maintenance I believe, and Engine-Equipment should be the one that grants access to APCs (lol). I don't think a security officer should have the latter one to be honest, but I think we'll be stretching the scope of this PR. Telecommunications is a bit weird, it's a critical station function, but I think you also shouldn't be able to nick one goon's ID and have access, so let's give it to them only when it's "needed".

The Medical Security Officer should have access to only the general Medbay Area and the Morgue, in case someone starts trotting on the doctor's turf, or if there's someone doing unsavory things to the bodies while the doctors are away. They will not have access to the specialized (dangerous) areas unless the ratio of secoffs to the population is low enough should it necessitate it (Plumbing Room, Pharmacy, Virology). I also added Surgery to the scaling access, but I'm iffy on that one. I don't particularly see why they should have it as a base access, but I also do see there being some need in dire straits (in relation to helping people, not tiding).

The Science Security Officer definitely got a huge cut. They now only have general access to R&D and normal scientist areas like the lathe room, circuits lab (presumably)since these are generally trafficked areas, but I definitely clamped down on additional access they might get in a "normally balanced" situation (no ordnance+storage, no xenobio, no genetics, no to robotics, etc.) They don't have a particular use in these areas and can even be a bit obstructive to flow in normal circumstances, but if abnormal circumstances arise and there's not a lot of security hands-on-deck, then their access is expanded.

Honestly, balancing this both makes sense and is conversely rather odd. I'm just running off what we already hold to be true and expected (or at least as of the last two months), and we can go from there.
Changelog

cl
balance: Nanotrasen realized that the more access they had on their cards was costing them a pretty penny, so they trimmed back the number of accesses a certain departmental Security Guard might have. However, any given guard will get back a greater amount of accesses depending on how many security guards there are in relation to the population.
config: Hey server operators, listen! We've changed up how Departmental Security Officers get their accesses, so be sure to review the DEPSEC_ACCESS_LEVEL config number to see what you want to work best for your server.

AzarakandGitHub 680ca7d3b9 Field of View and Blindness improvements [bounty + upstream push] (#63312)
About The Pull Request

I have received exemption from the freeze by Oranges.
This PR was originally done for Skyrat-tg, as a bounty. Oranges took interest and Skyrat people approved taking it upstream so I did. (original PR Skyrat-SS13/Skyrat-tg#9912 )
Features:
This PR adds "field of view" mechanics, which by default don't do anything.
Once you pick up and wear a gas mask you'll notice a cone behind you.
That cone will hide all mobs, projectiles and projectile effects.
HOWEVER... hidden things in the cone (or for people who are blind or nearsighted) will play a visual effect.

The fov cone shadow density can be adjusted

Technicalities:
Originally a component, but by Watermelon's advice I have made this a datumized behaviour instead. (semi-component) This way it is faster, less memory use etc. Once again a component
People have native fov, which can be enabled by a config, by default it's off. (or by an admin verb)
People have fov traits, which add the fov impairings to you, gas masks do that now. All clothes have a support for possibly applying them.
Moves all things that should be hidden onto a new plane which is just above GAME_PLANE, that was we can efficiently filter them out of clients views.
Being dead or extending your eye view (xenobio console) will disable the FOV mask.

This PR was brought to you by Skyrat paying me aswell as rotational mathematics


Why It's Good For The Game

Oranges approves so it's good.
Changelog

TimberpoesandGitHub 025018014d Tackles various problems with keyed_list config entries, fixing broken roundstart races and more! (#62359)
While helping RaveRadbury debug some issues with enabling Halloween species early via the brute force method of enabling them in the config rather than the gentleman's solution of testmerging a PR that changes the Halloween date, we discovered something dreadful.

Cloth golems cannot be enabled! Infact, any species with a space in the ID cannot be enabled.

It uses the splitter despite VALUE_MODE_FLAG being set. So a key entry like ROUNDSTART_RACES cloth golem would get parsed as cloth = golem, then entered into the config as cloth = TRUE
NEW AND IMPROVED PART HERE

I've re-written how keyed_list config entries are parsed, splitting it into a number of procs to do some discrete block of logic.

Based on feedback from MSO, he expected that VALUE_MODE_FLAG keyed_list entries could have elements overridden. However, this functionality was not present in the code.

I have implemented it. We now support 3 methods of setting VALUE_MODE_FLAGS.

Implicitly enable the config entry: CONFIG_ENTRY config_key_goes_here
Explicitly enable the config entry: CONFIG_ENTRY config_key_goes_here 1
Explicitly disable the config entry: CONFIG_ENTRY config_key_goes_here 0

There have been functionality changes too. Previously, everything before the first splitter was the key and everything after was the value. However, in ambiguous config entries (Such as ROUNDSTART_RACES cloth golem 0) it would be unclear if the intent was (cloth, golem 0) or (cloth golem, 0) or indeed if the intent was (cloth golem 0, 1).

As a result, there is now the following paradigm in place: Everything after the LAST splitter is the value, everything before is the key and a log_config warning is now given explaining the problem and showing how it was resolved.

[2021-10-27 19:48:12.840] WARNING: Multiple splitter characters (" ") found. Using "cloth golem" as config key and "1" as config value.

This warning will trigger if multiple splitters are present for any keyed_list config entry, and will trigger on implicit VALUE_MODE_FLAGS entries that have splitters. The example above is it triggering on ROUNDSTART_RACES cloth golem - It has detected that there is potential ambiguity between (cloth, golem) or (cloth golem, 1), has picked a sensible option for the data type and has warned about it.

The intent is that no config entry should be ambiguous. It should be clear what is key and what is value when dealing with keyed_list config entries.

There's probably more work to do on other config entries to bring them up to this standard, but this is the thing I'm hitting in this PR.

Similarly, I have improved the validation aspect of keyed_list config entries with additional logging in general.
[2021-10-27 19:47:53.135] ERROR: Invalid KEY_MODE_TYPE typepath. Is not a valid typepath: /mob/living/carbon/monkey

I have added a unit test to make sure species IDs do not contain splitters from the two keyed_list subtypes relating to species.

I have added sanity checking to the race config subtypes since we have a big dick global list of all races sorted by ID, so a race not existing will fail validation and output a meaningful config log entry.

I have removed /datum/config_entry/keyed_list/probability from the code as it is unused with the removal of all game modes except Dynamic.

The config change necessitated the renaming of all golem species IDs. Doing so and renaming the clothgolem.ts file to match has fixed the broken cloth golem page too.
