## About The Pull Request
Material fishing rods apply their materials any time they catch a fish,
even if that fish was fished from an aquarium. The math behind
calculating fish weight from materials results in exponential weight
growth, which becomes hyperexponential when you let the fish grow
through feeding.
This PR makes material rods only apply their materials to newly-spawned
fish, preventing repeated material application and the downstream
consequences thereof, including, but not limited to:
- Exporting fish for absolutely absurd, potentially infinite amounts of
money
- Setting a mob's next click delay and/or next move delay arbitrarily
far in the future
- Creating an item with infinite force. This:
- Instantly breaks any destructible structure
- Sets a mob's health to `-nan`, making them immune to crit or death
from damage due to how `nan` works with comparisons (at least until they
receive any healing whatsoever)
- `nan`-flood the station by burning a plasma fish with infinite mass
- Freeze the server by putting a fish through a recycler, where it will
spend the rest of eternity in the loop that ejects sheets from its
material storage after recycling an item
## Why It's Good For The Game
These are some *fucking* nasty things to have happen, and stopping them
all with this one change is probably something that really needs done.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: A fishing rod's materials can only be applied to fish when they are
initially spawned from a fishing spot. This means you cannot repeatedly
apply a fishing rod's materials to the same single fish to increase its
mass without limits.

## About The Pull Request
`adjust_fishing_difficulty` is a good one to make into a bespoke element
since a number of the same clothing item are created in the wardrobe
system.
climb_walkable is also good due to how prevalent it is, and it is a bit
of a two for one since it also removes the need for the
`/component/connect_loc_behalf`
Also stops adding the on_climbable trait to literally everything in the
turf, it now only applies it to atoms with density. So no more pipes and
stuff getting trait lists created for no reason.

## 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
longer spawn them with the Riot ability.

slightly different kind of mob in your radius.

## About The Pull Request
I've been feeling for some time that fishes dying if placed on fishable
water (or lava/plasma for a couple ones) to be kinda lakluster and
counterintuitive. YakumoChen opening an issue about it proved I wasn't
the only one thinking that, and I'm not feeling like starting with
adding fishing stuff just yet. Not without improving the existing
content first.
The source_types file was also getting big and a bit bad to navigate
through, so I've decided to split it into half a dozen distinct files:
fishing portals, rifts, turfs, structures, mining/ruins and surgery.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This fixes#89872.
The files should also be bit more organized now.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fish will no longer drown if left half-submerged in a fishable turf
on which it can normally be found. Instead it will disperse after a
while or if starving. Note that this only happens if the fish is native
to such turfs (eg. lavaloop on beach water will still die).
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
By putting bought/dead/evolving and fishing it out, you could get a
fishing achievement for any type of fish, which kinda ruined the
challenge of fishing out rare sorts of fishes like Mastadons.

not of how much you've cheesed the game.

## About The Pull Request
You can now use a fishing rod to fish random vending products from
vending machines, using holochips, coins and spacecash as bait. The
value of the money used as bait will positively influence the chance of
getting the pricier vending items, while using less than the minimum
paycheck (25 credits) will increase the minigame difficulty and carries
an additional, small risk of getting a dud or even hurling the vending
machine in your direction.
This also warranted a slight refactor of how vending product prices are
set.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Expands the list of things you can do with a fishing rod. Like for the
organ manipulation fishing PR. This is not about getting fish, but the
unconventional things we can do along the way.
Now tested, it works.

## About The Pull Request
Adds rift fishing to the game.
Drained and undrained influences can be fished in, the latter only by
heretics. Fishing in an undrained influence shows a bobber floating over
nothing to other people, so don't be stupid!
The loot pool includes the following:
- Knowledge. Great for heretics, bad for crew. Only actually gives
knowledge if fished up in an unopened rift, opening it.
One of each heretic potion type.
- A wild Fire Shark, hostile to all.
- One of each heretic potion, and two flasks of eldritch essence.
- Several new fish:
In order:
1. Chrystarfish
Cosmostarfishe that snuck into the bluespace compartment of a shuttle
engine. Teleports around when eaten. Can be cut into bluespace crystals.
Very pointy.
2. Flumpulus
Probably not an actual fish. Contains flumpuline, which is in many ways
an upgrade to oculine. Except for it occasionally popping your eyes out
and replacing them with fungus. It also gets flattened if you land on
it, cushioning your fall.
3. Gullion
This fish can be cut into two diamonds, and needs no mate to reproduce,
making it an excellent way to replenish the station's diamond supply!
However, it needs silicon in the fish tank to survive.
4. Walro-Dolphish
Weird, amphibious creature. Amazing weapon - high damage, strong
piercing wounds, decent block chances. However, it will bite you if you
hold it for too long, so be careful!
More fish are planned to be added. The PR was split in two to reduce
review complexity as the latter half of the fish were increasingly
convoluted.
Any fishing rod will do for fishing, but heretics are now able to infuse
their fishing rod with a grasp:
Infusing the rod will temporarily improve its fishing modifier and give
it a unique trait that lets heretics gather 2 influence, rather than 1,
from a fished-up rift.
If crew fish up a glimpse of the Mansus, they will recieve the same
effects as if they examined the rift, and a curse hand will shoot out at
them.
influences cannot be bombed for fish.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Rifts are _extremely_ close to basically just being eldritch pools of
liquid that some heretic spilled over the station. It's always stuck out
like a sore thumb that we can't fish in them, but now we _can_. (Also,
someone needs to PR fishing in a bucket for clowns and mimes.)
Fishing in a rift is just one of those things you see some random,
innocent assistant do while doing an errand, passively enhancing the
round with the sheer ridiculousness of it. Coming back, it's likely
you'll see them running from a wild Fire Shark they unwisely dug up from
messing with eldritch influences.
For Heretics, this is for the most part actively a worse alternative
than just doing things normally. But sometimes you don't want to be
optimal. Infusing their fishing rod is almost entirely an amusing twist
on the blade infusion that blade path has, and they can even infuse
other people's rods - make fish not war.
Ghommie gave me the fish sprites, and I interpreted them the silliest
and most interesting ways I could think of.
> Chrystarfish
Bluespace's technobabble has finally reached fish. Much like the
Gullion, the intention here was primarily some additional, risky way to
procure some amount of bluespace crystals and dust that doesn't depend
on Mining to do their job, either for the station or for your own stupid
plans. (Obviously mining is still the best way to get it, but it's not
healthy for the game for them to be the ONLY way to do so!)
>Flumpulus
Imagine taking a pill of 'Super oculine!' and suddenly your eyes pop out
and are replaced with fungeyes. 10/10
>Gullion
Diamonds are extremely scarce on the station and the only way to get
more is by mining. I thought adding some rare, restricted way of getting
more would be fun for the game, and encourage fish breeding.
Parthenogenesis may be a bit much admittedly, but let's just see what
happens
> Walro-Dolphish
The name for this thing kinda sucks. I like the idea of an amphibious
fish-weapon like the pikes that actually kinda just hates being wielded
around like a stick. It's also piercing to differentiate.
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
adds turtles to the game! but these aren't your typical turtles.
these are flora-turtles, with giant trees growing on their shells. These
trees can emit fields which affects nearby hydroponic plants. Initially,
the trees start out as young buds, from there the tree can evolve into
different types depending on what you feed the turtle.
Feeding them pesticides causes the tree to blossom to be purple. this
tree's fields will help kill some pests and weeds in nearby plants.
Feeding them nutrients gives you the green tree, the fields will heal
nearby plants
Feeding them mutators like uranium or left 4 zed gives you the yellow
tree. the fields increase instability of plants
The turtle will emit these fields every once in a while, ONLY when its
feeling happy. therefore you'll have to pet it, clean it and feed it
every once in a while to keep it satisfied. You can view the turtle's
happiness by shift clicking it.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a47136a1-06a1-419e-acc2-2f6f4468e296
The turtle only eats seeds. after eating a seed, itll process it and
spit out its corresponding fruit! (for example, feeding it an apple seed
gives you an apple). itll also sometimes playfully headbutt your legs
and it loves going around smelling the scent from nearby plants
you can get these turtles by fishing the hydroponics tray or by ordering
them through cargo.
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
You can now fish from aquariums if you wish to. This includes some
backend changes to make it possible for the fish table from
get_fish_table() to contain instances, and all that it entails up to
spawn_reward(), which is a requirement for the gimmick to respect the
various traits and other variables of the already instantiated fish
rather than read from cached properties.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The fish progress score/index had only little nasty flaw that has been
nagging me since day one: Not all fish species can be caught. Skipping
McGill, which is a peculiar case that for cheevo purposes should be
considered a standard goldfish, there is the one, unsignificant yet rare
purple sludgefish which can only be gotten as a rare evolution of the
generic sludgefish. Talk about petty, but this may be a long-term nit I
prefer to handle right now.
Also why not? The 'unmarine mastodon' is near impossible to get unless
you somehow find a oil well which is locked behind a specific ruin.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Aquariums are now potential fishing spots.

## About The Pull Request
I have grown to dislike the previous implement of explosive fishing. It
was particurly broken around fish sources that checked if the fishing
spot was of a specific type, and the FISH_SOURCE_FLAG_EXPLOSIVE_MALUS
flag only really worked around turfs because of the gap between pooling
the spawn locations and spawning the loot, which would have made trying
it on movables quite unsafe since they're moved to nullspace when
deleted.
This has lead me to rework how explosive fishing malus/exhaustion
accumulates in a simplier and more effiient way. Fish are now spawned
immediately, and the counter for the malus goes up by one each call, and
decays over time at a rate of 1 every 5.5 seconds.
This also fixes#88227.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Easier implementation of explosive fishing and bugfix.

fix: Bombing someone during organ manipulation no longer summons new

---------
Co-authored-by: Time-Green <7501474+Time-Green@users.noreply.github.com>
## About The Pull Request
This allows you to use a fishing rod during the "manipulate organs" step
of the aforementioned surgery to snatch organs from a target.
Unlike other fish sources, this one has a negative fishing difficulty of
-20, which when summed with the default minigame difficulty should still
result in a negative difficulty. In layman terms, this means the
minigame is skipped here (unless you're wearing some clunky stuff like
insulated or boxing gloves). It also has a wait time of 8 to 13 seconds
versus the more random standard 3 to 25 seconds.
A small side-effect of this is that explosions during the "manipulate
organs" step will basically disembowel you, but it kinda fits anyway.
By the by, because of this, there is a tiny chance bluespace fishing
rods can yield you random organs. Worry not, they're newly generated, so
you won't be snatching it from another player by accident (at least for
now).
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
Found another small issue with fishing, this one pertaining explosive
fishing spawning the loot inside objects.
Also bottled messages should no longer spawn from explosions. They're
one-time events and shouldn't be spent by explosive fishing, which can
quickly empty the pool of stored messages and photos.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixing issues with the feature.
## About The Pull Request
With this PR, I'm introducing fishing bluespace capsules to the game.
They can be found on the black market, but I'll get a couple more ways
to get them before it's ready.
Anyway, they're special bluespace capsules that spawn a fishing spot of
your choice. The fishing spot can be changed by alt-clicking the
capsule, and so far it has 5 choices, plus 2 locked behind emagging for
obvious reasons:
- Freshwater: pretty basic, you get freshwater fish from this.
- Saltwater: mainly saltwater fish.
- Tiziran: You get tiziran fish here, like the gunner jellyfish,
armorfish, needlefish, dwarves moonfish and the new, bigger zagoskian
moonfish. By the by, moonfish now periodically lay moonfish eggs, a
staple of lizardfolk cuisine.
- Ice fishing spot: A small ice turf with a hole dug in it; salmon,
arctic char, arctic chrabs and the bonemass (skeleton fish).
- Hot Spring: Somehow the new home to the ought-to-be-extinct
sacabambaspis. It also doubles as a better shower overall, with mild
healing on top of stamina recovery. Felinids still hate it though, and
won't benefit from the healing.
- Lava: A 2x2 square of pure lava. Requires an emag for obvious reasons.
- Plasma: Ditto, but it's plasma instead of lava.
As a sidenote, unlike standard shelter capsules, these require their
area to be clear of pipes and cables on top of the other requirements,
unless emagged. Obviously, I've done some changes to allow pipes and
cables to not be hidden by water turfs, though I'm still keeping these
reqs because I don't think these fishing spots would look great if
riddled with cables and pipes. I may remove this extra req later if it
proves to be a tad too tedious.
Also they don't knock you back when expanding.
Screenshot from a recent test (fixed the misplaced decal and tweaked a
few things since then):
## Why It's Good For The Game
The idea stems from how not all fishing spots aren't designed to be
accessible every round, which is fine, because we have the fish-porter
for that. However, even the fish-porter should have its limits in terms
of what it can provide by itself (linking is all fair and game), so I've
thought having something of a middle point would been neat, also as a
way to mess around with the station layout a bit, to empower the player
with a little extra "terraforming".

add: Added fishing bluespace capsules to the game, which can be used to
spawn a variety of fishing spots, from freshwater to tiziran sea to hot
springs, and also lava and plasma if emagged.
add: Added two new fish: the zagoskian moonfish and the sacabambaspis.
Moonfish will now periodically lay moonfish eggs.
map: The 'crashed pod' lavaland ruin now has a hot spring, and the
cursed hotspring on icemoon now has a plastic chair and a fishing
toolbox.

## About The Pull Request
I'm adding a score that tracks which types of fish you've caught across
multiple rounds. To do so, I had to add a new score subtype that manages
the score value not being a number. Thankfully the achievement code is
fairly flexible so not a whole lot had to be done, although I've to add
a new column to the achievements table in the DB, because the 'value' is
for integers, while we need one for text strings ~~(the contents of the
list are converted to text with a delimiter before being saved cuz I'm
not sure if and how our DM slash SQL integration handles using lists
directly and I don't want to waste time finding it out)~~.
EDIT: It's mostly done beside the reviews that are going to point out
things that need to be changed. The UI changes are done. It's time for
reviews.
Here are screenshots of the UI with all fish still uncatched beside one
(I've since then the typo on its name and removed an extra zero from the
index number, as well as a nit with the spacing between cells):
## Why It's Good For The Game
We have about dozens over dozens of different fish in the game now, many
of which are just fluff anyway. It's getting to the point it's perhaps
doable to add a score or something to be a braggard about.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added a new score that keeps track of all different fish that
you've caught between shifts.
server: Added a new schema table to store the aforementioned entries and
the ckeys associated to them, with an additional timestamp column.

## About The Pull Request
The reason why I refactored material effects code is here.
In this PR I add the possibility of printing fishing rods from different
materials at your nearest autolathe, though it doesn't stop there. Each
material has different values for (so far) fishing difficulty, casting
range, experience gained and foremost the chance of catching fish made
of the same material as the fishing rod used to catch it. The material
the fish is made from can either increase or decrease the weight of the
fish.
In a many cases, material rods can also have other small effects on
fishing, like removing the chances of duds even without a bait, or
attracting shiny-loving fish, or passing some other fish trait checks.
In a few cases, these fishing rods can have bigger, more impactful
effects on fishing. That said, here's a list of more or less the effects
(skipping very minor ones and those inherited from being items) and
modifiers across materials so far, a few things will be added later:

## Why It's Good For The Game
I think it's nice to have two features interact with each other (fishing
and materials), and it adds a layer of interesting uses to some
materials.
## Changelog
🆑

can increase or decrease fishing difficulty, casting range, and
experience gained, and can have other interesting effects.

## About The Pull Request
You can now interact with the fishing portal generator with a multitool
to load it in the buffer and subsequently link fishing spots to it by
tapping them with the same multitool. The maximum number of fishing
spots that can be linked at once depends on the tier of the matter bins
of the machinery. Normally, while you can link fishing spots from other
z-levels, they can only be activated if they're on the same z-level as
the machinery (or if both are on station for multi-z stations). This
limitation can be bypassed by upgrading the machinery with a tier 3 or
higher capacitator.
While it's possible, I'm not spriting new fishing portal overlays and
icons for the radial menu for every fish source out there (yet). The
code is enough work for now.
This also comes with a unit test, because there is no such thing as too
many unit tests for fishing.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fish portal generators are designed to let players fish a different
bunch of things while being able to be moved wherever you like, unlike a
lake or an ocean, with all the comfort of being able to able to catch
fish from distant locations. Allowing players to link other fishing
spots to it fits its design. It also means that you can go out and
explore, find more fishing spots and then return to the station without
having to detach yourself from the ongoing round for several more
minutes.
## Changelog
🆑
add: You can now link fishing portal generators to other fishing spots
with a multitool. The number of fishing spots that can be linked at once
and whether the link can be activated from different z levels depends on
the tier of the stock parts it's built with.

## About The Pull Request
A foreword, I had to refactor a few bits of shitcode my past self added
first. For context, the "gone fishing" and "actively fishing" traits
only had one source, which is the fishing challenge itself, ad there was
no way to access the challenge from outside its code, except for a few
weakrefs which were being used as sources for the aforementioned traits
(the shitcode in a nutshell). There were also a few signals that I
didn't like because they were being sent to the harder-to-access
challenge datum rather than the user. So I scrapped the traits for a
couple signals to send to the user, then added a global list as a mean
to easily access the challenge datum, and lastly changed the code to
accomodate the titled feature (and allow the challenge to recalculate
its difficulty DURING the minigame phase)
Moving on to the actual feature: I've added a component that can be
added to objects on which mobs can be buckled to or items. When equipped
in the right slots or buckled to, the object will adjust the difficulty
of current and future fishing challenges by a certain amount (more often
than not positive, but there're many exceptions) as long as the object
isn't equipped or the user is unbuckled.
I've been having some fun adding component to a ton of clothes in the
game as well as chairs. Way too many objects to enumerate, so I'll give
you the general idea:
- each carp-themed article provides a slight positive modifier (easier)
- some (not all) doctor-related garbs provide a marginal positive
modifier each (fish doctor jokes)
- floortile camo clothes have positive modifiers
- Tuxedo, laceups, gowns provide negative modifier (more difficult)
- utility garbs such as bio/bomb/rad hoods and suits are quite bad. Riot
armor too.
- boxing gloves are very, very bad. Insulated gloves and haul gauntlets
are also very bad, to a lesser degree.
- **tackle** gloves are good. (pun intended)
- wizard garbs are good, because wizards are good at casting. (also a
pun)
- magboots slightly bad. Space suits bad.
- Blindfolds and welding protection are also bad. Gas masks marginally
bad.
- Pirate attire is nice to have. (I just vibed a little on this one)
- plastic chairs are quite versatile because they can be carried around,
but the mime chair is the best, followed by ratvarian chairs.
- Fishing toolboxes, analyzers and the fish catalog are a plus, because
they can be held.
- And the fishing hat, obviously (not as great as you'd think)
Some of these may be subject to change depending on what people say.
## Why It's Good For The Game
A hundred lines of fishing challenge code made ever-so-slightly less
awful, and a way to modify fishing diffculty beside skills and bait.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Your current clothes and what chair you sit on can now influence
the difficulty of fishing minigames. Having a bare minimum of fishing
skill will let you distinguish which objects can help and which won't,
so keep an eye out. Holding fishing toolboxes, fish analyzers or fish
catalogs can also help.

## About The Pull Request
This PR nerfs the mood event from fishing from 5 to 4. In exchange,
after catching a fish, you can release it in the appropriate fishing
spot for a minor positive mood event (if it's alive, or if the user has
either the morbid or naive traits). It also counts towards fish
population for fish that are limited in the amount of times they can be
catched. Mobs with the naive trait (clowns) get the positive mood event
even if the fish is dead or being released in a bad place like lava
Some fishing spots like toilets and moisture traps don't have this
option, but that's because they've their own interactions with fish
that'd otherwise be overridden by it.
This PR also fixes mobs with the morbid trait (coroners) not enjoying
aquarium in their own morbid ways and add a few touches pertaining the
naive trait like alternative chat messages when interacting with the
fish.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This gives players a way to get rid of unwanted fish without leaving it
to die on the floor, also it's in the spirit of recreational fishing.

## About The Pull Request
At some point, I must have removed the check for limited items from
`get_modified_fish_table()` and never replaced the `fish_table.Copy()`
call with `get_fish_table()` (which has it), causing limited rewards to
be yet `again` unlimited. This extends to explosive and lobstrosities
(clientless mobs with the profound fisher comp) once the associated
value of the reward in the `fish_counts` list (the list of keeps track
of these limited rewards) reaches a negative value, because the code
only checks if the value is equal to zero where it frankly it should
check if the value is equal or less than zero.
Also I've set `explosion_malus` to true for a few fish sources that
cover multiple turfs, revisited a few comments and a redundant
UnregisterSignal call in lazy_fishing_spot
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixing an oversight.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fixing fishing not caring whether a reward is limited or not.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
Rolling the reward up to 30 seconds before the minigame starts leaves
ample room for conditions to mutate and unforeseeable events to happen,
which can lead to more frequent issues. Furthermore, it makes more sense
this way, since you aren't pulling a carp until it bites the hook.
Also TIL that the difficulty of the fishing sources is added to the
default difficulty of the minigame, which is 15 and doesn't replace it,
which means most fishing spots have a default difficulty of 35 to 40, so
I thought it'd be nice if you somehow were able to skip the minigame if
you reduce the difficulty to 0 or less, which is totally possible with
some prep. IIRC, using the athletics fishing gloves at maximum fitness
level (21) + max fishing level (10) + settler quirk (5) + a favorite
bait (5) can lower the difficulty by a whooping 41 points, so it's
totally possible to achieve the skips on many fishing spots. Doing this
however won't train your fishing skill.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More stability. Also we skip the minigame entirely if it gets so easy it
becomes another waiting phase with little to no input.
## Changelog

balance: With enough preparation, good skills and equipment, you can
manage to skip the minigame phase of fishing by reducing the difficulty

## About The Pull Request
Over half of the line changes are merely from splitting the
fish_types.dm into several files since it was over 1k lines already.
One of the small issues with fishing right now is RNG. You want to get
some specific fish, and you go through all the micromanaging with hooks,
reels and baits only for the random number god to say "nope", and that's
only going to get worse the more fish are in the game.
However, I've a solution: (unconsumable/reusable) fishing lures, each of
which attracts different fish based on different conditions. The only
caveat is that they require to be spun at set intervals (usually 1 to 3
seconds, depending on the lure, with a second-long window). Worry not,
there're visual cues in the form of a green/red light hovering the
fishing float, so you won't get screwed up by the server slowing down or
whatever.
The whole box of lures (12 so far) can be from cargo for the fair price
of 450 credits.
I've also added 5 new fish: monkfish, plaice, pike, another punnier
variant of the pike, perch and squid. The latter is quite special
because of the ink production trait, which lets players use it to blind
others at a close range and when butchered, it yields an ink sac, which
can be processed into a can of squid ink (one less item exclusive to the
produce console), or thrown at people in a sort-of-similar fashion of
banana cream pies (except it's ink).

## Why It's Good For The Game
There should be ways to contrast some of the RNG fishing has. After all,
it's only going to get more random the more fish are in the game.
Furthermore, I find it disappointing that a lot of food stuff is
exclusive to the ingredients console and there're no other ways to get
it.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added fishing lures to the game. They don't get used up like baits
and let you catch specific kinds of fish, though they need to be spun
every few seconds. The whole set can be ordered from cargo for 450
credits.
balance: The magnet hook now removes dud chances.
add: Added five new fish types: perch, two types of pike, monkfish,
plaice and squid. Squids have a fairly special ink production trait,
which lets you use them (unless dead) to ink people face at close range,
and can be butchered for an ink sac, which can either be processed into
canned squid ink, or thrown at someone.
fix: Refactored throwing a little. Some items (specifically
components/elements) won't be triggered when caught. no more plates
shattering despite being caught for example.
add: Goldfish, lavaloops, needlefish and armorfish can now be used as
baits.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new persistent feature: message inside bottles. These are
basically glass bottles with inside a piece of paper, a photo or space
cash (no holocredits, and most bills rarely go over 1000 credits anyway)
from a previous round, which can be fished at the beach, or from the
relative fishing portals.
Each piece of written paper or photo that isn't map-loaded has a roughly
a 0.2% chance to be added to the message bottles database at the end of
the round. However, you can also manually toss a glass bottle with
inside a paper/photo/bill into the ocean (or a fishing portal generator
with the ocean/beach module loaded) for guaranteed results.
The bottles are removed from the database once fished up by the by,
unless tossed back into the ocean.
I've also offset a couple bottle sprites that weren't properly aligned
(for the message overlays).
TODO:
- [x] add a couple (20 prob or less) message bottle spawners to the
beach away mission or something.
- [x] add a few sounds for adding and removing the message from the
bottle. (pickup/drop sounds already handle that)
- [x] test it properly.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I think it'd be neat to have a way to send photos, snarky "seek grass"
messages, as well as the occasional financial aid to future players, and
furthermore, another thing to tie fishing to.

relative settings) with right-click, for others to fish them up on

## About The Pull Request
This PR mainly adds more fish and more fishing spots to the game, while
refactoring a few aspects of the fishing minigame.
Listing out with the new fish:
- Arctic char: mainly filler content for the ice hole fishing spot
- Sockeye Salmon: ditto but also provides better fillets that boost the
quality of resulting food items when cooked or used in recipes
- Soulfish: joke content, found by the cursed spring ruin
- Skin Crab: also a joke found by the cursed spring
- Bump-Fish: filler for the sand fishing spot
- Burrower Crab: ditto, reusing a fish sprite I made last year
- Sand Surfer: ditto
- Three-Eyed Goldfish: It's a reference, doh
- Stingray: A modestly weaponizable fish (whoops I've forgot to set the
hit sounds), it possess a few traits that make it deliver bits of venom
each time you hit someone with it
- Swordfish: Huge-ass fish that may require two hands to wield (or not,
if the RNG wants to make it smaller). Stats-wise, it's more or less the
equivalent of the captain sabre, if not stronger (and more unwieldy due
to size and weight). Becomes weaker when dead. Also gives better quality
fillets.
- Chainsawfish: A mutation of the goldfish with some size, weight and
traits requirements, but can also be found on emagged fishing portals.
Stronger than the swordfish, it behaves sort of like a chainsaw, with
the similar tool behaviour and var values. Also becomes weaker when
dead.
As for the fishing spots, you can now fish on sand turfs, at the cursed
springs or on ice. Rivers/jungle water now has its own fishing spot
datum, and no longer uses the generic fishing portal one. To fish on
ice, you first have to carve a hole with a pick or a shovel.
I've also refactored the fish "AI" hardcoded stuff used in the fishing
minigame into their own datums, which let me add a few fancier ways to
how the fish moves during the minigame (i.e. the soulfish moving at 1
FPS or the chainsawfish getting faster and faster).
As for the sword and chainsaw fish, their potential strength is balanced
out by the need of keeping them alive, as well as the potential
cumbersomeness, two-handed wielding and potential slowdown from the
excessive weight of the fish (Thank you Big Slappy for the inspiration).
Other minor changes include: Pufferfish giving better quality fillets
(too bad they're poisonous, I'll go and make a skillchip to let cooks
safely separate the poisonous liver from the fillets); McGill The
lawyer's goldfish) having a 15% of being three-eyed; the aforementioned
slowdown from fish weight and two-handed carry from fish size; a couple
new fish icons (the ones that hint you on what you're trying to catch)
for the fishing minigame; a few adjustments to prevent self-reproducing
fish from ignoring the population cap and let fish with a stable
population of 1 to crossbreed (also gotta make a different PR to let it
happen rarely without the crossbreeding trait).
This PR is still a WIP, gotta test it several times.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fishing is something I've been working on for about a year now, but
there are still a few places where it's kinda lackluster, like there's
not enough diverse fishing spots or useful fish (I'll be working on a
separate PR to make the logistic of a carrying a fish around without
letting it die a tad easier). Also, look at these sprites:
Can you guess which is which?
## Changelog

weapons.
add: Added more fishing spots to the game. Sand, ice, rivers, the cursed

balance: A few fish like salmon, swordfish and pufferfish (poisonous
btw) now give better quality fillets when butchered, which can improve
the quality of food that uses them even further.
balance: Excessive fish weight will make the fish slowier to carry,
while excessive size may make it require two hands.
balance: Adjusted size, weight and cooldowns of several fish, for the
better.

## About The Pull Request
So, I've heard something funny happened on a downstream. A lobstrosity
fished out another lobstrosity from the plasma river. And later another
couple lobstrosities joined the fry, then again and again until it
became a gang of over 50 lobstrosities that would absolutely terminate
anyone that dared to interrupt their fishing party, as well as their
FPS.
I've also blacklisted the single necropolis chest the lava fishing spot
has, because it kinda sucks to get that chance to fish it up stolen by
some random lobstrosity god-knows-where around the map.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Yes, this is very funny. However, getting your FPS butchered by dozens
upon dozens of lobstrosities is not, and that's an honest issue.

## About The Pull Request
Ok, I've had a bit of false memories about fishing being easy. It's
actually tough. It also has some issues that I didn't completely
understand until very recently.
First of all, I thought anything that count as a bait would be good
enough for fishing, but it turns attaching a raw meatball doesn't remove
dud chances from fishing spots. Having finally played with the feature
enough, I came to realize it's quite dumb to have something like that IF
you have a bait regardless of quality. We have other ways to handle bait
related stuff.
Second, I've lowered the time to raise a lobstrosity slightly. Waiting
20 minutes to get an adult one is a tad much if you add in all the prep
needed for it. Conversely, I've also increased their feeding frequency.
I think they should eat a bit more than once every 15 minutes to
survive. 10 should be ok.
I've also halved the reproduction timeout for the sludgefish. When I
first added it. I didn't take in consideration I'd have later have made
it so newly spawned fish would be on cooldown for double the standard
duration.
The abstract fishing rod that "profound fisher" mobs use now comes with
the same omni-bait advanced fishing rods use, so that they can catch all
kind of fish with less bad RNG.
Buffed the fishing skill a bit.
Aquariums that unanchored (except pre-filled ones) and do not
auto-connect to plumbing; ferer issues if you were to build one near the
toilets. They alo have the 'enable breeding' enabled by default.
I've also re-increased the deceleration of the minigame bait. Making the
controls less slippery.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I've been suffering from some Mandela effect about fishing. It's
definitely more challenging when the server isn't shitting the bed.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: Aquariums start unanchored and don't autoconnect to plumbing. Their
reproduction prevention is also disabled by default.

balance: Chasm Chrabs take less time to grow into Lobstrosities but need
food a bit more frequently.

fishing.
fix: You can now ACTUALLY interact with other things while fishing if
the fishing rod isn't in your active hand.

catch a lot of fishes (and other stuff). Fish spawned this way will be
pretty much dead however.
This PR also adds the examine tips already presents in the fishing spot
component to the lazy fishing spot element.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This PR adds an interaction between fishing and other mechanics of the
game.
## Changelog
🆑
add: You can now fish with explosives.
fix: Fixed an inconsistency with examining fishing spots with
sufficiently high fishing skill (or skillchip).
