## About The Pull Request
Cybernetic/Cortical brain touch-up. Discuss.
Also because vox use cortical brains, we touched their code a little.
Tangent: I wish there was a way to make the brain restore surgery
capable of taking a multitool without being a separate op :\
# But why?
It's been noticed that people are using cortical brains to shoot up some
meth without consequences. This was a) not originally intended b)
genuine power creep, as previously the only way to be able to process
chems without the brain damage was to be a vox, who do start with
robotic-only brains. So, this PR is to address it. Sure you get an EMP
weakness, but this server has a soft-stigmatization against using EMPs
so that's leery on the social contract.
Fret not! You'll still have the option of a roundstart brain which
doesn't take meth damage. It just also takes slightly more EMP damage,
has less health than an ordinary brain, and if it ever gets removed, it
explodes as the other prosthetics do (but doesn't qdel). So really,
there's not much of a consequence.

## About The Pull Request
Shapeshifting such that your brain is changed to another brain calls
`activate_skillchip_failsafe()`, turning off your chips. This is a
silenced call, so no feedback is provided to the player that their
skillchips have been turned off, and it is reasonably assumed that they
were simply deleted. This is also the only place
`activate_skillchip_failsafe()` is called, so the message cannot ever
play.
This pr removes the `silent` argument, and thus makes the failsafe tell
you that it's turned off your chips.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes#93796 (gets closed regardless, i suppose)
When this first happened to me, I also thought that it had simply
deleted the skillchips. This interaction was initially enabled, with
`silent` being false, prior to an undocumented change in #71566. Given
that this is the only place that this proc is called, I do not see why a
`silent` argument should exist at all.
## Changelog

spellcheck: When your skillchips are turned off from shapeshifting, you
will now be told.

## About The Pull Request
Merry Christmas!
This PR expands on the more gruesome areas of chef content, such as
cannibalism.
Human limbs can now be individually butchered for their meat and skin
with a knife or another butchering implement once the skin has been cut
and retracted (forks now can be used as bootleg retractors). If the limb
contains organs, those will need to be removed first, which also can be
quickly performed with a butchering tool at the cost of damaging the
inhards (head and chest will require the bone to be cut first, which can
be done with a butcher's cleaver if you don't have a saw)
You can also butcher humans whole by right clicking them with a
butchering implement on combat mode, which will attempt to gut/cut apart
the selected limb. Obviously this requires the limb to be prepped first,
so meat hooks/kitchenspikes now allow mobs strung on them to be operated
on without needing drapes. Its a pretty bad spot to be performing
surgeries at though, so beware! Torsos can only be butchered after all
other limbs have been. The gutting/butchering delay is based off the
owner's stat, halving if the limb is detached and doubling if the owner
is still alive and kicking.
<img width="392" height="265" alt="dreamseeker_D7QWbWKStd"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/050d7c25-3572-4b02-ae93-d8efefe54885"
/>
(The video is too large for github)
https://streamable.com/459a0y
After being butchered, most limbs will leave behind a nonfunctional
skeletal limb (with exceptions like jelly limbs with no skeleton inside)
which is always disabled. Skeleton chests husk their owner, so you'll
need to replace it first.
Gibbers now source their meat from the victim's limbs (and not their
species) at an RNG-based percentage based on the matter bin's tier.
As to allow individual limbs to be butchered, you can now perform (some)
surgeries on individual limbs. There are some obvious restrictions like
zombification or bioware surgeries, but most of the ones that make sense
can be performed on someone's chopped off head as long as you've got the
tools.
Wounds also contribute to surgeries now, major slash wounds count as
cut/open skin (and sealing the vessels would reduce their bleed rate),
and critical blunt wounds count as sawed bones.
I've refactored gibbers, butchering and meat spike code as well as fixed
some backend bugs while I was at it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
While rather gruesome, I feel like the freedom which these mechanics
provide fits us pretty well. We already have plenty of nasty stuff and
this doesn't really go that much further, and a chef serving their own
leg in their dish is pretty funny. (Also you can scrape plasma off
plasmamen bones)
## About The Pull Request
What it says on the tin. `times_fired` is the most unused parameter in
all mob procs. I say most because there were just 2 cases where it was
used
- handling breathing
- handling heartbeat
Besides these 2 cases this parameter did nothing in every proc. Removing
it does 2 things
- Makes those procs more readable as it now has 1 less parameter that
was documented poorly and did nothing
- Makes those procs slightly faster as we are passing 1 less variable to
its parameter call stack
It can easily be substituted with `SSmobs.times_fired` which was its
original value anyways
## Changelog
🆑
code: removes an unused parameter `times_fired` from mob life procs.

/🆑
so, the current `COMSIG_CARBON_SOUNDBANG` signal is kinda lame because:
1) it's relegated to carbon mobs
2) it means ear protection equipment actually has no effect when
`get_ear_protection` is called instead.
3) It's sent in more than one place in the code
So I replaced it with another signal, this one properly sent in
`get_ear_protection`, and therefore `soundbang_act` as well.
What's also lame is that the code for both `get_ear_protection` and
`soundbang_act` can be easily moved to the living type, and it wouldn't
make a huge impact aside causing simple mobs to be stunned very briefly
by flashbangs since they cannot be knocked down anyway. The less the
code is specific to a subtype, the easier it's to work with, the fewer
the paradigms etc.
Another lame thing is some of the code being kinda old. Also I wanted to
fix an issue with the shriek ling ability detailed in #93401. I wanted
to make the ability more consistent with how other sound-related
abilities work by making it use `soundbang_act`, but with an intensity
higher than any other feature so far, beside point-blank flashbangs
(holding on standing on one). I've also buffed the "ear protection"
offered by vacuums from 1 to 3, meaning nothing but point-blank
flashbangs will go through. Yes, this means shrieks are not good in a
vacuum because sound generally propagate in absence of molecules that
can transmit the vibration... at least IRL. The game's an approximation
anyway, but it's still inconsistent, like a fuckton of other things that
are even more outside of the scope of this PR. Well, at least it affects
simple/basic mobs too now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This will fix#93401 and make some code less old and bad.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: refactored code for ear/soundbang protection. Flashbangs and
other things can now affect simple/basic mobs as well, not just carbon
and occasionally silicons.
balance: Aliens are no longer impervious to soundbang_act. Still very
resistant to it due to their hardcoded ear protection
balance: How the resonant shriek changeling ability works is now
slightly more consistent with the ear/soundbang protection, meaning it
won't work well in a vacuum, but at least it works on simple mobs now.
fix: Everyone can now hear a changeling shriek, unless they're already
deafened or in a vacuum.

## About The Pull Request
So, my original goal was just a refactor for the emissive overlays of
eyes, as a way to implement the specular emissive introduced by smartkar
some time ago, but somehow I found myself dragged into a bigger refactor
or cleanup of organ damage, thresholds, failures. One of the main
problem was that there were no procs called when a organ suffered enough
damage to fail or when recovering from failure. It'd just enable or
disable a bitflag, leaving it up to subtypes to decide how to tackle
organ failure their own ways: diverse, funky and sometimes incompatible.
More often than not relying on their very own "update_thingamajig" kinda
procs that run whenever the organ takes damage, rather than just when
the threshold is reached (low, high, failure. There are however a couple
organs with their own quirky thresholds, I let those slide).
There's also a bit of old code, especially for ears, with the
`AdjustEarDamage` and temporary deafness both predating the framework
for organ damage as far as I know. It really needed a coat of fresh
paint.
Oh, there were also more than a handful of organs that still heavily
relied on some ORGAN_TRAIT source instead of the `organ_traits` list and
the two add/remove procs `add_organ_trait` or `remove_organ_trait`. This
include organs that lose or gain specific traits when failing et
viceversa.
~~Lastly, felinids (and the halloween ghost species) having reflective
eyes. It's just a nod to the tapetum lucidum that animals with night
vision often have (including cats), which is why their eyes are a bit
brighter in the dark. Felinids however, do not have night vision (nor do
ghosts). This is merely cosmetic.~~ Cut out for the time being due to
issues with the specular emissive...

## About The Pull Request
Heretic has received a complete overhaul. This PR touches nearly every
aspect of the antagonist. For readability's sake, not every change is
going to be listed in this pull request.
For the full list of changes please refer to the design doc:
https://hackmd.io/@BiST8PJVRjiwVPY86U3bLQ/B11HyChz1g.
Code by Me, @Xander3359 and @Arturlang
TGUI by @Arturlang
Sprites by OrcaCora and GregorDM
Writing bits by @necromanceranne
### Core changes
- Cross-pathing has been removed. Main knowledge spells are now
exclusive to their path (for the most part).
- For every main knowledge unlocked (save for the robes and the blade
upgrade), Heretics can choose one option from a draft of 3 random side
knowledges (this is a free point).
- Heretics can now purchase side knowledges from a new tab, the
"Knowledge Shop". Side-knowledges have been divided by tier (Stealth,
Defense, Summons, Combat and Main). Tiers are unlocked as you progress
toward your main path.
- Heretics now gain the grasp and mark upgrade immediately, but their
main knowledge choices cost twice as much (except for the first spell,
the robes and the blade upgrade).
- Path specific robes have been introduced! They come with their own set
of quirks.
- Each Path has received a passive ability. This passive is upgraded
when you first create your robes, and again when you complete the Ritual
of Knowledge.
- Paths have been rebalanced as a result of the removal of cross-path
progression. Cosmic and Moon paths have received soft reworks.
- Upon unlocking the path 2nd level or reaching a total of 8 points
worth of knowledge, Heretics will lose the ability to blade break (and
the limit on blades all together).
- Ascension now automatically calls the shuttle with no possibility of a
recall.
- Late join Heretic has been removed.
### New UI
<img width="750" height="635" alt="moon path ui"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/184ef783-5c9c-48a1-a2f7-4807ca93e990"
/>
### Knowledge shop
<img width="787" height="669" alt="Knowledge shop"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3dc89b84-8c70-4d47-b612-54396e3ea6e7"
/>
### Quality of life //General balance changes
- Heretics will now gain X-ray vision for a few seconds when nearby an
eldritch essence (this effect has a cooldown).
- Ritual of knowledge now requires 1 uncommon item instead of 2. You may
now use a stunprod instead of a baton to complete the ritual. Beartraps
have been removed from the list of possible reagents.
- The maximum number of possible sacrifices required to ascend has been
reduced from 6 to 5 while the minimum has been upped to 4.
- Codex Cicatrix no longer requires a special pen to be made.
### Passive abilities
- Heretics now start with a passive ability. You can find what it does
on the path info tab after a path has been selected, and what they gain
when upgraded.
- Crafting your first set of Eldritch robes will bump your passive to
level 2.
- Unlocking the 2nd level will subsequently unlock your "Ritual Of
Knowledge"
- Completing the ritual of knowledge or ascending will net you the final
level.
### Path Specific Robes
- Armorer's Ritual is no longer a side knowledge. Each path will have
their own unique version of the ritual. This is placed after the 2nd
spell in the tree.
- Robes can no longer be destroyed by fire and acid, grant t4 flash
protection (Moth Heretics stay winning) and protection against basic
syringes, to bring them on par with other antagonist's armor sets.
- The recipe to craft the robes is now a set of armor/vest, a mask (any
mask will do now, not just gas masks), plus the unique reagent required
for the blades (Plasma for Cosmic, Trash For Rust, match for Ash and so
on)
- Wearing the robes as a non-heretic may yield some unfortunate
side-effects.
### Moon Path Rework
Moon path rework.
Moon Heretics gain immunity to brain traumas and slowly regenerate brain
health. Equipping the moon amulette channels its effects through the
moon blade; making it unblockable and cause sanity damage instead of
brute. Ring leader's Rise now summons an army of harmless clones that
explode when attacked; the explosion briefly stuns non-heretics and
cause sanity and brain damage to them. Moon blade can also now be used
when pacified and Moon spells are no longer blocked by regular anti
magic, only mind magic protection.
**Cosmic Path Rework**
Cosmic path has received the biggest batch of changes alongside Moon.
The path has been dead last in ascension and pickrate (less than 5%) for
almost 2 years. It did gain some popularity over the last few months,
reaching the highest ascension rate in the game (12%) while mantaining a
relatively low pickrate.
Cosmic sits in a weird spot, where pretty much every knowledge
surrounding the path is either mediocre or, in the case of the
ascension, dysfunctional. Yet it has maintained a smidge of relevancy
due to how quickly Cosmic heretics can capture and sacrifice targets
thanks to Star Touch.
As a result, the best course of action would be to rebalance the
entirety of the kit; granting the heretic more tools to manipulate space
and dictate the flow of a fight, while lessening their ability to end a
confrontation by instantly sleeping their opponents.
lastly The Star Gazer is now ghost controlled ; And they shoot lazers!

## Why It's Good For The Game
### Ok...but why do we want this?
Again, if you want my full reasoning, please check my doc
https://hackmd.io/@BiST8PJVRjiwVPY86U3bLQ/B11HyChz1g.
To keep it short and concise; Heretic is too complex and unintuitive for
its own good. Too impenetrable for new players and too abusable for
experienced players. This can be chalked up to a lot of poor design
decisions. But ultimately, what I believe being the biggest contributor
to the current status of Heretic is the ability to move into different
paths, also known as "Cross-Pathing".
### Cross Pathing my beloathed.
Cross-pathing, while cool in theory, overcomplicates the antagonist and
overloads them with power. Players dealing with the heretic are
incapable of working out what a given heretic can do. This also leads to
late game heretics having 3 rows Worth of action buttons and virtually
no weakness.
Over the last year, I've often received the understandable but also kind
of unfair accusations of making Heretic too powerful without a clear aim
or purpose.
My goal with the paths I've reworked over the last year (Rust,Void and
Blade) wasn't necessarily to just make them stronger (although that was
also part of the goal, as they were paths that were underperforming),
but for them to have more interactions with the sandbox and to better
live up to the fantasy presented to the player.
If an harbringer of frost gets countered by a cup of coffee, we probably
messed something up.
Unfortunately, the current incarnation of Heretic doesn't really allow
for surgical balance changes to specific paths. Every time a knowledge
gets buffed, we make every path that can easily tap onto that knowledge
stronger by default. It doesn't take a genius to understand why this
system is ultimately unsustainable.
### Blade Breaking
I feel that after a heretic has reached the near peak of their power,
they no longer need the ability to instantly escape any encounter. Check
my doc for my full reasoning.
## Less versatile, more specialized paths.
By removing cross-pathing, we remove a huge maintainability burden from
the antagonist. Paths can now be designed around clearer strengths and
weaknesses. They become easier to balance and less of an headache to
understand for everyone.
It also means we can give paths some needed quality of life quirks
without having to worry how such a change might have a knock-on effect
for other paths.
Ash heretics can finally let loose without dying by their own flames.
Cosmic Heretic can go to space without having to carry a modsuit. Moon
Heretic can use their abilities without fear of one random trauma
ruining their day, and so on.
### What a horrible night to have a curse...., wait how do I curse
people again?
As of right now the heretic tree has quite a hefty amount of trinkets
that pretty much never see use.
Partly because the tree itself is a nightmare to navigate. And partly
because why would anyone set up an elaborate plan or scheme when they
can unleash 2 rows of spell in the span of bunch of seconds.
Heretics mostly gravitate towards powers that push them towards greater,
more potent combat strength. If it doesn't contribute to killing people
quicker, it isn't worth doing for most. And given the opportunity cost
associated for taking those powers, they will remain that way so long as
there are better choices to be poached.
The new draft system encourages Heretics to play more with the tools at
their disposal. If you want to go for a specific combo from the side
path options, you may now do so by tapping into the knowledge shop.
Yes, the shop does include a few knowledges from the other paths. But
these are limited to 1 per path, are very expensive and can only be
unlocked very late into the shift.
## Drip Of the Mansus
The iconic heretic robe is actually sequestered to a side path that is
most easily access by only two paths at a time. Since heretic paths are
being made to be much more specialized, the most obvious way in which
this can be showcased is through an easily
identifiable outfit.
By using the robes, we can both telegraph WHAT heretic you are looking
at, and just how much power they've accumulated and when it is
reasonable to take the kid gloves off and treat them as a genuine
threat. If a heretic is in their
robes, that heretic is now a significantly more prominent danger to the
station.
It also serves as a useful means for gating some of the more powerful
effects of a heretic's path behind the robes, AND enable options for
disarming them of that power should they be captured without making it
something endemic to their mob.
A major problem with heretics is a lack of certainty as to how powerful
they have become. A heretics robes is one of the milestones to help
players dealing with heretics identify that.
### Will this be 100% fair and balanced?
This is a massive overhaul to a pretty complex and bloated antagonist.
I've done my best to show the changes to several maintainers and other
members of the community for their feedback. But at some point we'll
have to see how this behave in the environment to get a feel if
something is over or undertuned. (that's my way of saying, yes this is
likely gonna require a testmerge or two).
What I will say is that I'm not trying to change the core identity of
Heretic.
Heretics should have the upperhand in single encounters early on, be
able to joust a small group of players after they unlock their final
spell, and end the round when they ascend. They're a progression
antagonist. They should retain their payoff as well as pose a danger as
they grow stronger.
But if more players feel like they are more reliably able to play the
antagonist in more varied and interesting ways, rather than the
antagonist largely existing as a measuring stick for 'robustness' due to
its elitist design philosophy, then the rework has been a success. There
should be something for
everyone in the antagonist, as is true for all of our antagonist roles.

Buffs fluoride stare to not be completely unplayable, increasing warning

## Why It's Good For The Game
Fluoride stare was somewhat of a joke quirk, but people liked the

minutes of the round. Original numbers are extremely detrimental and

## About The Pull Request
Buffs fluoride stare to not be completely unplayable, increasing warning
delay from 30 seconds to 3 minutes, and post-warning grace to 30 seconds
from 10, as well as halving damage per second.
Also fixes lizard blinking being horribly broken, made brain damage
properly update eye blinking instead of you having to wait until an
update_body call to get your brain-damaged blinks.
Additionally, fixes a bug where only roundstart eyes would blink, as
#88300's removal of update_body in eye insertion prevents them from
properly updating their overlays when inserted, thus not granting their
owner passive blinking until forced by another source.
- Closes#90269
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fluoride stare was somewhat of a joke quirk, but people liked the
concept, so it should probably not make you blind in the first five
minutes of the round. Original numbers are extremely detrimental and
require constant micromanaging to the point where you can't do any job
whatsoever.
Adds 2 new species: Spirits and Ghosts
Spirits are available roundstart during Halloween, Wabbajack and
Xenobio's black slime extract
Ghosts are available through Magic mirrors
They fly around, and don't have legs and instead float around. They also
can't get legs implanted onto themselves.
They also do have organs, so they are affected by flashbangs, they do
get hungry, they do need oxygen to survive (they don't take damage in
space but they do suffocate & get slowdown), and can process chems.
Gibbing a ghost gives ectoplasm, an ingredient for ghost burgers.
Chaplains also got a buff here, null rod-type weapons' bane is now
against Spirit mobs, rather than hardcoded revenants. This means it now
includes Spirits/Ghosts, but also Soulscythes & Cult shades.
Also re-adds https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81630 which was
reverted in https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/86506 which I
assume was accidental.
Ghosts have an innate ability to become incorporeal, which allows them
to phase through walls and stuff. Using this will immediately make them
drop any non-ghost limb/organ (not implants cause I thought it would be
funny). This ability is not available if they have holy water in their
system, and like revenants they also can't walk over blessed tiles with
it. They are also invisible to cameras while using this (not the obscura
though).
Sprites taken from observers directly, if anyone wants to make custom
sprites for them feel free. If anyone wants to make this obtainable
somehow in-game as well I wouldn't be opposed, halloween is just where I
thought it would fit most.
This also adds a lot of fixes that I encountered trying to add this,
from systems that have been neglected throughout the years.

We haven't gotten a new halloween species in a long time and thought it
would be fun if you can play as an actual ghost, the soul that remains
after a person passes, so Halloween feels more haunted. It's overall
made in just good fun, with a bonus that Ghosts are a cool species to
play with as well for Wizards & maybe Chaplains in the future (Dead sect
when?)
🆑
add: Added a new halloween species: Spirits, a species without legs and
instead floats.
add: Added a new magic mirror species: Ghosts, like spirits but with the
ability to become incorporeal, traversing through solid wall.
fix: Mobs unable to use storage items now can't use storage items.
fix: Mobs unable to use items can now not open airlocks & closets
fix: Mobs unable to pick items up can no longer pick items up and
immediately drop, moving one tile at a time.
fix: Mobs with intentional missing limbs (Alien larva) no longer show
their limbs as missing on examine (again)
fix: Golems' pref page had a missing icon, it now has one.

### The difference between Spirits and Ghosts
Ghosts have an innate ability to become incorporeal, which allows them
to phase through walls and stuff. Using this will immediately make them
drop any non-ghost limb/organ (not implants cause I thought it would be
funny). This ability is not available if they have holy water in their
system, and like revenants they also can't walk over blessed tiles with

Felinids have an increasing potential to bite you instead of punch you
based on whether or not they're hungry, and how insane they are. The
more insane, the more likely they are to bite.
Sometimes they bite anyway.
Will this matter at all? Probably not.
Also adds a minor buff to carp teeth and makes their teeth pointy.
We were joking about felinids biting people and I thought it was funny
to make it a felinid problem they deal with when things are going bad
for them. It is unlikely to be something that can be actively exploited,
since it needs you to be suffering from two debuffs to occur with any
amount of frequency to be noticeable. But the idea of a felinid that has
been going through enough shit to snap and just maul someone is funny as
hell. ~~As well as maybe give some IC reason as to why people don't like
felinids beyond just being cat people.~~

Melee attack chain now has a list passed along with it,
`attack_modifiers`, which you can stick force modifiers to change the
resulting attack
This is basically a soft implementation of damage packets until a more
definitive pr, but one that only applies to item attack chain, and not
unarmed attacks.
This change was done to facilitate a baton refactor - batons no longer
hack together their own attack chain, and are now integrated straight
into the real attack chain. This refactor itself was done because batons
don't send any attack signals, which has been annoying in the past (for
swing combat).
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Batons have been refactored again. Baton stuns now properly
count as an attack, when before it was a nothing. Report any oddities,
particularly in regards to harmbatonning vs normal batonning.
refactor: The method of adjusting item damage mid-attack has been
refactored - some affected items include the Nullblade and knives.
Report any strange happenings with damage numbers.
refactor: A few objects have been moved to the new interaction chain -
records consoles, mawed crucible, alien weeds and space vines, hedges,
restaurant portals, and some mobs - to name a few.
fix: Spears only deal bonus damage against secure lockers, not all
closet types (including crates)

## About The Pull Request
This PR:
- Converts all of the blood types into their own datums, which can be
set up to have their own colors, descriptions, and other fun unique
properties. For example, the clown blood that is constantly randomizing
itself.
- Converts all the blood decals into greyscale, which in turn eliminates
the need for separate xeno sprites. They both use the same ones now.
- Audit of blood splatters/gibs/bodyparts/organs to make sure that they
are getting the correct forensic data applied to them.
- For the admins: Adds a clown blood smite.
My primary goal with was to make the appearance of the new sprites look
almost indistinguishable to the original ones.
I consider this a "first pass", as in there are still some further
refactors I would like to do on the backend side, but am satisfied with
it enough to push it forward as a first step towards a better blood
system! I didn't want to do too much at once because of A) fatigue and
B) easier to test things to make sure I'm not breaking something
important this way.
This has been test-merged on Nova for over a week now and has been going
great, so I finally got around to upstreaming the bones to TG. Although
I did test it a bit you may want to TM it just in case I missed some
things when copying it over.
People can now pet held mothroaches and pugs if they want to, or use
items on them, hopefully without causing many issues. After all, it only
took about a couple dozen lines of code to make...
...Oh, did the 527 files changed or the 850~ lines added/removed perhaps
catch your eye? Made you wonder if I accidentally pushed the wrong
branch? or skewed something up big time? Well, nuh uh. I just happen to
be fed up with the melee attack chain still using stringized params
instead of an array/list. It was frankly revolting to see how I'd have
had to otherwise call `list2params` for what I'm trying to accomplish
here, and make this PR another tessera to the immense stupidity of our
attack chain procs calling `params2list` over and over and over instead
of just using that one call instance from `ClickOn` as an argument. It's
2025, honey, wake up!
I also tried to replace some of those single letter vars/args but there
are just way too many of them.
Improving old code. And I want to be able to pet mobroaches while
holding them too.

qol: You can now interact with held mobs in more ways beside wearing
them.
