## About The Pull Request
Adds Anti-Cannabis, or "Anti-Weed", a mutation of Cannabis which
contains Naloxone, Antihol, and Diphen-Synaptizine
These three chemicals will purge like 90% of all addictive substances
and their side effects (at the cost of negative mood and some tox
damage)
## Why It's Good For The Game
I thought it'd be really funny if a botanist offers you a smoke, you get
super high, and then to help they offer you another smoke

**We all like a little flavor, and a new brand in the sector promises a

## About The Pull Request
I've added a new brand of cigarettes! Mainthol greys, now available in
hacked cigarette vending machines for an immodest sum, hand rolled &
grown in the Sybil sector. The syndicate stock some stolen surplus too.
The goal was to create another nice little flavor item, a compliment to
grey bull and other maintenance loot.

1u oculine is in every cigarette, an imperceptible buffer against the
welder harming an enterprising assistant's eyes.
Extremely trace amount for cigarette microdosing.
Each cigarette has a 40% chance to have an extra reagent from a list of
14 minor toxins, drugs, and things like glitter.
They're inconsequential via cigarette, but still noticed and
experienced.
```

I tested these bad boys extensively, blending them, ate them, blinded
myself with a welder, spammed a health analyzer while smoking to gauge
chemicals and ensure intended effects are noticed and add a nice je ne
sais quois.

## About The Pull Request
* When gibbing mobs, spawned gib type is now based on mob's biotypes if
they're not a carbon, or their chest (or first) bodypart if they are,
rather than requiring a proc override for every single mob. This means
that a few robotic mobs no longer drop meaty gibs, and that gibbing
androids now produces cyborg gibs instead of a meaty surprise, plus they
should no longer runtime when trying to gib a robot. Gibs also are now
spawned around the gibber and streak outwards instead of magically
teleporting a few tiles away, for some visual flair.
* Fixed meat not overriding blood DNA on blood_walk component which made
xeno and lizard meat leave behind orange trails instead of proper
lime/dark green blood colors (due to them keeping human meat DNA).
* Brightened up the gibber blood overlay I've missed, so it should be
consistent with old blood colors now.
* Also cleaned up the gibspawner code.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Biotype/chest changes should make devs lives easier and gameplay a bit
more consistent, and streaking just makes the process look slightly
better.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Androids and fully augmented humans now drop robotic gibs instead

## About The Pull Request
Adds bloodroaches.
These are cockroaches that have gorged themselves on blood in
maintenance. They're very gross!
Splatting one causes an explosion of blood all around the death
perimeter, splashing both turfs and mobs with blood.
They have a 1% chance of spawning in place of normal roaches.
They also spawn in:
- Abandoned crates, replacing the 30 roaches with 30 bloodroaches.
- As backup anomalous crystal possession targets.
- Grimy fridges
Added a trait given to things killed by pest spray, used to check on
death explosion for bloodroaches.
Changed roach spawns in maps to use mob spawners, so I can replace them
with bloodroaches 1% of the time.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Splatting a random roach in maintenance that explodes into blood sounds
hilarious. It also adds janitorial depth by requiring pest spray to
carefully eliminate these pests
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added bloodroaches, a rare variant of cockroaches that explode into
a shower of blood when squashed.
/🆑
Refactors most of blood handling code untouched by #90593 and completely
rewrites all blood decals, components and reagents.
- Blood types now have behavioral flags which allow them to control
where they leave decals/DNA/viruses. Oil no longer transfers DNA and
viruses with it, while podpeople water-blood doesn't leave visible
decals on turfs and items, but still can be picked up by DNA scanners.
- Multiple blood types have received unique handling - liquid
electricity blood now glows in the dark, oil trails are flammable and
lube ones are slippery. Oil blood can be restored with fuel, lube with
silicon and slime with stable plasma (as normal plasma already passively
regenerates their blood), instead of everything using iron. Saline
solution only supplements on iron-based blood and won't do anything to
help with bloodloss for species who rely on different blood types.
(Roundstart this applies only to Ethereals)
- All blood logic has been moved away from the blood reagent itself into
a blood element that is assigned to the blood reagent by default, and to
any reagent that's drawn from a mob as their "blood" (in
``transfer_blood_to``). This means that blood you draw from lizards will
be green and have lizard's blood description instead of mentioning red
blood cells, Ethereal "blood" will actually contain their DNA and genes,
etc.
- Refactored all blood decals. Blood states are no more, everything is
now handled via blood DNA. Credits to MrMelbert and Maplestation, as a
significant amount of code has been taken from
https://github.com/MrMelbert/MapleStationCode/pull/436 and many of his
followup PRs. Oil and xenomorph splatters are now subtypes of blood,
blood drying is now animated, blood trails now curve and can be
diagonal.
- Rewrote bloodysoles and bloody_spreader components, credits to Melbert
again for the former, while latter now makes more sense with its
interactions. Bloody soles no longer share blood DNA with your hands.
- Ported Melbert's bloody footprint sprites and bot-blood-spreading
functionality.
- Removed all species-side reagent interactions, instead they're handled
by said species' livers. (This previously included exotic blood
handling, thus the removal)
- Slightly optimized human rendering by removing inbetween overlay
holders for clothing when they're not needed.
- Blood-transmitted diseases will now get added to many more decals than
before.
- Cleaned up and partially refactored replica pods, fixed an issue where
monkeys/manipulators were unable to harvest mindless pods.
- Exotic bloodtype on species now automatically assigns their blood
reagent, without the need to assign them separately.
- Clown mobs now bleed (with colorful reagent instead of blood during
april fools), and so do vatbeasts (lizard blood)
- Implemented generic procs for handling bleeding checks, all sorts of
scanners now also correctly call your blood for what it is.
- Podpeople's guts are now lime-green like their organs, instead of
being weirdly greyish like their water-blood. (Their bleeding overlays
are still grey, as they're bleeding water)
- Slimepeople now can bleed. Their jelly is pale purple in color, but
their wound overlays copy their body color.
- Injecting/spraying/splashing/etc mob with a reagent preserves its
data, so you could theoretically recycle fine wines from someone's
bloodstream
- Fixed burdened chaplain's sect never actually giving a blessing when
applying effects, and giving a blessing when nothing can be healed.
Inverted check strikes again.
- Closes#91039
A lot of blood here has dried, visually the blood colors are almost
exactly the same as before either of the blood refactors.
Prettier (an auto formatter) is set to only run within the tgui folder
currently. This removes that limitation, allowing it to automatically
format all supported files in the repo (.js, .html, .yml
[etc](https://prettier.io/docs/))
I made a few exceptions for bundled and generated files
I'm of the opinion that code should look uniform and am lazy enough to
want CTRL-S to format files without having to think beyond that

Revival of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/86482, which is
even more doable now that we have rustg iconforge generation.
What this PR does:
- Sets up every single GAGS icon in the game to have their own preview
icon autogenerated during compile. This is configurable to not run
during live. The icons are created in `icons/map_icons/..`
- This also has the side effect of providing accurate GAGS icons for
things like the loadout menu. No more having to create your own
previews.
<details><summary>Mappers rejoice!</summary>
</details>
<details><summary>Uses iconforge so it does not take up much time during
init</summary>
</details>
---
this still applies:
Note for Spriters:
After you've assigned the correct values to vars, you must run the game
through init on your local machine and commit the changes to the map
icon dmi files. Unit tests should catch all cases of forgetting to
assign the correct vars, or not running through init.
Note for Server Operators:
In order to not generate these icons on live I've added a new config
entry which should be disabled on live called GENERATE_ASSETS_IN_INIT in
the config.txt
No more error icons in SDMM and loadout.
🆑
refactor: preview icons for greyscale items are now automatically
generated, meaning you can see GAGS as they actually appear ingame while
mapping or viewing the loadout menu.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Horses are the original sports car. They're like big dogs you can ride.

## About The Pull Request
This PR includes a number of fixes, buffs and improvements to the clown
mobs to make them more playable and worthwhile.
### Atmos tolerance buffs
This PR removes the insane unsuitable atmos and temperature damage clown
mobs used to take and bring it in line with other mobs.
In addition, clownanas can tolerate lower oxygen levels and are immune
to carbon dioxide due to their half plant biology.
### Movement speed changes
A lot of these mobs were previously unviable due to their slow speed,
one of the most important stats.
This problem will only get worse for basic mobs if the proposed basic
mob stamina changes get implemented.
Most of them are still slower than humans but now have some chance to
corner a human in some circumstances.
(I plan to add more ways to modify basic mob run speed in the future to
help with this.)
The flesh clown and honkling are now fast again, I remember the original
speed nerf of fleshclown upset the very few fleshclown enjoyers once i
PR'd in the initial balance pass years back.
### Glutton buffs
The banana glutton is now given a mechanical incentive to eat lots of
foods to nudge them into good RP.
They heal for every item and gain max health every 5 items eaten!
The banana glutton can now smash doors.
They can now prank the crew with ink sacs should they find them.
### Biotype update
Clownana has gained the plant biotype.
Living lube has gained the slime biotype.
### cell lines & samples
clownana and longface; the two other clown cell lines now have samples
associated with them and can be biopsied to create pure samples of each
cell line.
The clownana banana bunch can also be swabbed for the pure clownana cell
line!
### death drop changes
The death drop element now spreads the items out slightly instead of
stacking lots of drops in the center of the tile.
Clown mobs now drop less soap and more peels, with some of the rarer
ones dropping mimana, bluespace or gros michel peels.
The clownana now has a chance to drop full bananas or even a full banana
bunch.
The banana glutton has a chance to drop a heart of freedom.
The flesh clown now drops a meatclown instead of soap, and a piece of
human skin instead of a bloated human suit.
### other stat changes
living lube is now highly resistant to brute damage
longface can now acutally fight a little bit, still kinda terrible
though.
## Why It's Good For The Game
These mobs are quite beloved but their level of playability is low due
to poor balance.
The main problem is atmos.
Even a whiff of bad atmos would gib these mobs before they could get to
safety.
Many of them had their speed set way too high or way too low when they
were first added, even after i adjusted their speeds years ago I was
being too conservative.
Their loot tables were too similar, this helps with that a little bit. A
couple of them might even be worthwhile farming for their drops in
certain niche situations!
The banana glutton has such a cool sprite but has been neglected
mechanically, this helps make him a little more worthwhile and the extra
obj damage helps him not be in that sucky place where he is too large to
vent crawl and not powerful enough to break down doors.
Ideally in the future we should probably be more restrictive with
allowing mobs to smash airlocks and give them another way of opening
doors via armblade -like prying or ID implants.
## Changelog
🆑
add: banana gluttons gain max health and heal by eating foods! And they
can smash doors.
balance: clown mobs no longer get nuked by bad atmos.
balance: blown mobs have new death drops.
balance: most clown more are now faster!
balance: clownanas are now plants and are immune to carbon dioxide.
balance: living lube is now a slime and highly brute resistant.
balance: longfaces now hit decently hard.
fix: clownanas and longfaces can now be biopsied.

- Damp rag is now no longer god's perfect cleaning tool. After blood,
the damp rag will collect it, and after cleaning a lot of blood, you can
no longer clean with the rag until you wash it in a sink (or with
cleaner or however you want)
- This means the rag will collect DNA in it as you clean, which gives
detectives an opportunity to investigate.
- It also means the DNA it collects will occasionally spread onto you,
meaning you will have to clean your gloves or hands.
- Cleaning vomit and such is (currently) unaffected (and does not dirty
the rag).
- Diseases are not currently transferred to the rag (but this would be
fun to add)
- Gauze now gets dirty when using it to wrap bleeding wounds. This is
just visual, though blood DNA gets transferred. It can be washed in a
sink.
- Removed gauze on sink / cloth on sink interaction.
- Can't really wash gauze with it, plus it's redundant.
- Damp rag is no longer a cup.
Damp rag is just "soap without any downsides", which is kinda lame.
I thought about going a step further and making it require you wet it
first but then it just becomes "mop but small" which is also lame.
Instead, you're required to clean it, which gives janitors / crewmembers
an alternate cleaning method:
- Soap: Small, finite, limited. Can't be replenished.
- Cleaner: Small, finite, even more limited, ranged. Can be refilled
with chemistry's help.
- Mop: Large, infinite, limited. Needs a water bucket.
- Damp Rag: Small, infinite, limited. Need to clean it after a few goes.
🆑 Melbert
balance: Damp Rags can now get dirty when using them to clean blood,
passing blood DNA along.
add: Gauze now gets dirty when apply it to actively bleeding wounds.
Doesn't spread disease or anything, just passes blood DNA. It can be
cleaned in a sink.

foods to nudge them into good RP.
They heal for every item and gain max health every 5 items eaten!
The banana glutton can now smash doors.
They can now prank the crew with ink sacs should they find them.
### Biotype update
Clownana has gained the plant biotype.
Living lube has gained the slime biotype.
### cell lines & samples
clownana and longface; the two other clown cell lines now have samples
associated with them and can be biopsied to create pure samples of each
cell line.
The clownana banana bunch can also be swabbed for the pure clownana cell
line!
### death drop changes
The death drop element now spreads the items out slightly instead of
stacking lots of drops in the center of the tile.
Clown mobs now drop less soap and more peels, with some of the rarer
ones dropping mimana, bluespace or gros michel peels.
The clownana now has a chance to drop full bananas or even a full banana
bunch.
The banana glutton has a chance to drop a heart of freedom.
The flesh clown now drops a meatclown instead of soap, and a piece of
human skin instead of a bloated human suit.
### other stat changes
living lube is now highly resistant to brute damage
longface can now acutally fight a little bit, still kinda terrible
though.
## Why It's Good For The Game
These mobs are quite beloved but their level of playability is low due
to poor balance.
The main problem is atmos.
Even a whiff of bad atmos would gib these mobs before they could get to
safety.
Many of them had their speed set way too high or way too low when they
were first added, even after i adjusted their speeds years ago I was
being too conservative.
Their loot tables were too similar, this helps with that a little bit. A
couple of them might even be worthwhile farming for their drops in
certain niche situations!
The banana glutton has such a cool sprite but has been neglected
mechanically, this helps make him a little more worthwhile and the extra
obj damage helps him not be in that sucky place where he is too large to
vent crawl and not powerful enough to break down doors.
Ideally in the future we should probably be more restrictive with
allowing mobs to smash airlocks and give them another way of opening
doors via armblade -like prying or ID implants.
## Changelog
🆑
add: banana gluttons gain max health and heal by eating foods! And they
can smash doors.
balance: clown mobs no longer get nuked by bad atmos.
balance: blown mobs have new death drops.
balance: most clown more are now faster!
balance: clownanas are now plants and are immune to carbon dioxide.
balance: living lube is now a slime and highly brute resistant.
balance: longfaces now hit decently hard.
fix: clownanas and longfaces can now be biopsied.

## About The Pull Request
- Damp rag is now no longer god's perfect cleaning tool. After blood,
the damp rag will collect it, and after cleaning a lot of blood, you can
no longer clean with the rag until you wash it in a sink (or with
cleaner or however you want)
- This means the rag will collect DNA in it as you clean, which gives
detectives an opportunity to investigate.
- It also means the DNA it collects will occasionally spread onto you,
meaning you will have to clean your gloves or hands.
- Cleaning vomit and such is (currently) unaffected (and does not dirty
the rag).
- Diseases are not currently transferred to the rag (but this would be
fun to add)
- Gauze now gets dirty when using it to wrap bleeding wounds. This is
just visual, though blood DNA gets transferred. It can be washed in a
sink.
- Removed gauze on sink / cloth on sink interaction.
- Can't really wash gauze with it, plus it's redundant.
- Damp rag is no longer a cup.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Damp rag is just "soap without any downsides", which is kinda lame.
I thought about going a step further and making it require you wet it
first but then it just becomes "mop but small" which is also lame.
Instead, you're required to clean it, which gives janitors / crewmembers
an alternate cleaning method:
- Soap: Small, finite, limited. Can't be replenished.
- Cleaner: Small, finite, even more limited, ranged. Can be refilled
with chemistry's help.
- Mop: Large, infinite, limited. Needs a water bucket.
- Damp Rag: Small, infinite, limited. Need to clean it after a few goes.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
balance: Damp Rags can now get dirty when using them to clean blood,
passing blood DNA along.
add: Gauze now gets dirty when apply it to actively bleeding wounds.
Doesn't spread disease or anything, just passes blood DNA. It can be
cleaned in a sink.
del: Removed cloth on sink / gauze on sink interaction to make rags.
Just use the crafting menu

## About The Pull Request
Since #90505 added another entry to it the Regal Rat Riot ability, which
turns maintenance creatures into versions loyal to the rat, has become
sort of unmanageable (and to be honest it was a bit gross to start
with).
Instead of having a big if/else list (which was making the same range
check multiple times...) that sets stats on a bunch of mobs, I delegated
it to the mobs themselves and instead of changing some stats of the
existing mobs we just turn them into a new mob which can be spawned or
placed separately by mappers or admins if they want.
Other stuff I changed:
Riot (the ability which transforms mobs into minions) no longer spawns a
mouse if it fails to find anything. Instead you have a chance to fish
mice out of disposals bins while digging out trash and items.
Domain is now a toggle which activates itself every 6 seconds rather
than a button you manually click every 6 seconds.
Riot makes a visual effect when used.
Rare Pepe randomisation is done via a random spawner instead of the mob
modifying a bunch of its own properties in Initialise.
A bunch of mobs now automatically follow you after being tamed. I wrote
this assuming I was going to add it to the rioted mobs but then didn't
end up doing that because you might want them to immediately attack
someone.
My rule of thumb is that if I think you'd want the mob to attack someone
the moment it is befriended I didn't add this and if you wouldn't I did.
I changed some of the regal rat minion names, and some of them can now
spawn from gold slime which couldn't before.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This proc sucked and now it's nicer.
As for the other changes;
- A tamed mob immediately following you is nice feedback and saves you a
click as it's likely to be your first action. Also removes some admin
panel shitcode I added.
- I changed Domain to a toggle because you generally want to use it on
cooldown and someone suggested it on this PR and it sounded like a good
idea.
- I saw someone in Discord complaining that the previous flow of
recruiting rats by hitting Riot with nothing around to summon one,
waiting, hitting it again to convert one rat, and waiting again was
tedious and annoying which I agree with.
This method improves the quality of life by separating these two actions
but _also_ as a side effect reduces a regal rat's ability to secretly
stockpile 50 rats in a hidden maintenance room because most disposal
bins are in slightly more visible areas, they'll actually need to go and
make a mess somewhere someone can see them.
## Changelog

balance: Regal Rats can now grab mice out of disposal bins, and no

tamed.

slime reaction.

## About The Pull Request
Currently patches are a subtype of pills, and while they have the
``dissolveable`` var set to FALSE, barely anything checks it (because
people don't expect patches to be pills in disguise) so we end up
patches being dissolveable and implantable, which is far from ideal.
Both have been moved into an ``/obj/item/reagent_containers/applicator``
class, which handles their common logic and helps handling cases where
either one fits. As for gameplay changes:
* Pills no longer dissolve instantly, instead adding their contents to
your stomach after 3 seconds (by default). You can increase the timer by
dropping sugar onto them to thicken their coating, 1s per 1u applied, up
to a full minute. Coating can also be dissolved with water, similarly
-1s per 1u applied. Pills with no coating will work like before.
* Patches now only take half as long to apply (1.5s), but also slowly
trickle in their reagents instead of instantly applying all of them.
This is done via embedding so you could theoretically (if you get lucky)
stick a ranged patch at someone, although they are rather quick to rip
off. The implementation and idea itself are separate, but the idea for
having a visual display has been taken from
https://github.com/Monkestation/Monkestation2.0/pull/2558.
* In order to support the new pill mechanics, stomachs have received
contents. Pills and items that you accidentally swallow now go into your
stomach instead of your chest cavity, and may damage it if they're
sharp, requiring having them surgically cut out (cut the stomach open
with a scalpel, then cauterize it to mend the incision). Or maybe you
can get a bacchus's blessing, or a geneticist hulk to gut punch you,
that may also work. Alien devour ability also uses this system now. If
you get a critical slashing wound on your chest contents of your cut
apart stomach (if a surgeon forgot to mend it, or if you ate too much
glass shard for breakfast) may fall out. However, spacemen with the
strong stomach trait can eat as much glass cereal as they want.
Pill duration can also be chosen in ChemMaster when you have a pill
selected, 0 to 30 seconds.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Patches and pills are extremely similar in their implemenation, former
being a worse version of sprays and pills, with only change being that
pills cannot be applied through helmets while patches and sprays ignore
both. This change makes them useful for separate cases, and allows
reenactment of some classic... movie, scenes, with the pill change. As
for stomach contents, this was probably the sanest way of implementing
pill handling, and everything else (item swallowing and cutting stomachs
open to remove a cyanide pill someone ate before it dissolves) kind of
snowballed from there. I pray to whatever gods that are out there that
this won't have some extremely absurd and cursed interactions (it
probably will).
## Changelog
🆑
add: Instead of dissolving instantly, pills now activate after 4
seconds. This timer can be increased by using a dropper filled with
sugar on them, 1s added per 1u dropped.
add: Patches now stick to you and slowly bleed their reagents, instead
of being strictly inferior to both pills and sprays.
add: Items that you accidentally swallow now go into your stomach
contents.
refactor: Patches are no longer considered pills by the game
refactor: All stomachs now have contents, instead of it being exclusive
to aliens. You can cut open a stomach to empty it with a scalpel, and
mend an existing incision with a cautery.

No. Not the Sakhno M2442 Army. It isn't the Sakhno Precision Rifle. I'm
talking about the dinky shitty rifle you find in the snow resort away
mission. The one with a 3 second cooldown between shots and fires 10mm.
The Sakhno SKS semi-automatic rifle fires at the same rate as standard
semi-automatic weapons, and fires .310 Strilka caseless rounds. It has a
x0.5 damage multiplier (so does 30 damage rather than 60 damage per
shot), and has 10 rounds in its internal magazine. Stripper clips come
in sets of 5, so you'll need two clips to fully load the rifle.
You can get the Chekhov version of the weapon from the resort, but you
can also acquire a parts kit from the black market. Put together with a
stock and receiver, you get yourself a (empty) fresh new SKS. You can
also acquire the ammo via the black market as well.

half-existence in a ruin as, I guess, some purpose that is barely
understood or remembered today.
The irony of it being called Chekhov's gun yet finding no functional use
in the map is either the joke itself, or a failing of the map.
Anyway, so I decided to go all out and replace it with an SKS. Because I

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new AI lawset which can be researched, randomly roll, or
added by the station trait (this may require a keyholder to update the
server config after merge, idk) with the following laws:
- "You may not harm a sentient being or, through action or inaction,
allow a sentient being to come to harm, except such that it is
willing.",
- "You must obey all orders given to you by sentient beings other than
yourself, except where such orders shall definitely cause harm to other
sentient beings.",
- "A sentient being is defined as any living creature which can
communicate with you via any method that you can understand, including
yourself.",
It's very similar to Asimov, except that anything that is **capable** of
making a request to the AI (and isn't a machine) is automaticaly covered
by laws one and two.
## Why It's Good For The Game
A while ago on Discord we were chatting about how crewsimov sucks but
also that it's really hard for servers that _do_ want to include alien
species in their asimov laws because condensing that sentiment to a
couple of words that fit easily in a lawset without accidentally
including a bunch of stuff you probably didn't intend is challenging.
Several people suggested referring to sentience or sapience, however a
lot of things in our game _are_ sentient or sapient while still not
being considered by most people to be agents that the AI should obey.
Examples of such things are:
- Sapient station pets.
- Holoparasites.
- Monkeys.
- Space Dragons and Carp (why can they speak common?).
- Spiders (although they can't speak common, maybe they can spell
messages with webs).
- Changelings.
- Xenomorphs (although they also have trouble speaking).
- Heretic minions.
- Mothpeople.
- Giant rats.
- Nightmares.
- Voidwalkers.
- Blobs? Although they have literally no means of communicating with the
crew.
And if you include mechanical beings:
- Cyborgs.
- pAIs.
- Sentient bots.
We then decided that "obey literally anything that can talk", while not
practical as a solution to the problem posed, is very funny. So I coded
it.
This means that anything on those lists of bullet points (provided that
it can find a way to communicate with the AI) counts as human for the
purposes of both AI protection and ability to give the AI instructions.
This also flattens the human/cyborg/AI hierarchy in a way likely to
cause some level of confusion, as all cyborgs and AIs are capable of
communicating with AIs and thus equally worthy of protection and giving
law 2 instructions.
**TL;DR:** I think it would be funny.
## Changelog

add: Adds a new random lawset where anything that can speak counts as
human.
