## About The Pull Request
Inspired by #94233. `grind_results`(list) & `juice_typepath`(typepath)
are only used when grinding & juicing after which the atom is deleted.
This means if that object is not processed these vars occupy memory &
don't do anything.
Now these values are only generated on demand by calling their
respective procs. Considering how these vars are on the obj level the
memory savings are quite significant
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: grinding & juicing have been refactored to occupy low memory.
Report bugs on github
code: improved grinding & juicing code

## About The Pull Request
Because fish is an item, it inherits the use of integrity from objects,
however it also has its own health variable. For consistency, ~~damaging
its integrity should also lower its health and healing it should also
recover its integrity. Fish has a max integrity that's double its
health.
I've also renamed `adjust_health` to `set_health` since it doesn't
adjust the health by the provided value but sets it to said value.~~
I've scrapped the latter to instead use integrity.
## Why It's Good For The Game
A small bit of consistency. If you shoot a fish with a laser gun,
wouldn't it die?

Places a check to see if there is a fishing count regen list, and
creates a new one if there is not. Then apply a 30 minutes regen on
things that have no regen listed.
Removes explosions and NPC's from fishing both message in a bottle and
unique items.
Adjust the tables of Lavaland and Icemoon maps. Made sure both fishing
sources have skeleton keys, tendril chests and runite on both tables, to
equalize the fishing experience a bit.
Removes the failing conditions to the Unit Tests related to fishing, as
they depended on this base npc behaviour. I dont have the knowledge to
fix the UT beyond that.

Fixes#90972
Unique Stuff is good to spawn only for players, not for soulless npc's
and random explosions.
If the rounds extend, is good for content to still exist instead of
being lost forever. Gives the chance to players to persevere should the
round last that long.
We had a lot of duds on Lavaland compared to Icemoon, this just
equalizes it.
Adds Runite to fishing in Lavaland as its used to make Runite fishng
rods, which are good for fishing, it also doesnt alter the balance of
the game like adamantium does.
Tendril Crates on the Icemoon equalizes the loot pool, and makes for an
unique approach to artifacts, albeit slow and super rng based.
Having Skeleton keys appear along with the crates means not only miners
get some juice of the whole ordeal, which to be fair miners rarely sit
down and fish if they want a tendril chest, they just go and get it.

## About The Pull Request
I'm thinking of removing some of the redundant or unnecessary bad design
from fishing, especially aquariums, which are definitely a bit fringe
and difficult to attend to on top of other stuff. However I don't have
all time of the world so I'd rather start small, even if it isn't the
main obstacle (which is keeping fish alive and getting them to reproduce
in the first place).
Thinking about it, the fact that some traits have a chance not to be
passed down to the offspring even if both parents have them is plain bad
and it's led situations where I couldn' tell if it was a bug or a
feature. The solution? Forgo the probability check for traits shared by
both parents.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Clearly that was bad design.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Made fish traits inheritability easier. They're now guaranteed
to be passed down to offsprings if both parents have them.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
The edible component now uses DUPE_SOURCE mode, which is needed to avoid
conflicts between sources. This includes some other tidbits from my
refactor like renaming dcs/flags.dm to ds/declarations.dm (in virtue of
the fact it doesn't only contain flags anymore even before this PR),
meat materials giving protein and fat reagents to affected atoms instead
of generic nutriment and oil, and the pizza material no longer
containing meat, because margherita pizza, which the material is
extracted from, doesn't contain meat either. The pepperonis were
magically conjured space bs.
## Why It's Good For The Game
There are multiple sources of the edible component and we don't want
issues with that. Also atomizing stuff from my refactor.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: objects made out of meat are no longer classified as gross food
on top of being raw and meaty, and actually contain protein and fat
instead of standard nutriment and oil.
balance: the pizza material stacks, crafted with margherita pizza and
rollig pin mind you, no longer magically contain pepperoni.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
This PR fixes an issue that has been reported about the profound fisher
trait, because even then, a projectile is fired that may hit things
other than the intended target, making it impossible for the mob to
continue fishing if the abstract fishing rod hooks on something else. To
fix this we just need to skip the projectile stuff and go straight to
the `hook_hit` call ~~also allowing someone to fish on oneself (eg.
through the fishing spot generated by the organ manip surgery)~~.
Also dealt with a few other issues like a "interrupted!" balloon alert
being sent after the minigame is already completed, fritterish icons,
layering of the float, a bad signal and a redundant check meant to stop
explosions from spawning fishing loot from chasms (because someone
forgot to add the relative flag).
## Why It's Good For The Game
This should fix#88974 and other stuff as well
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Trying to fish on an adjacent spot won't end up hitting other
things on the same turf (provided you actually click the fishing spot
and not other things).
fix: Fixing the icon state for the "fritterish" fish variants.
/🆑
## 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've been meaning to do this for some time. I need this for
portable/handheld aquariums/fishtanks to be possible. I'll sprite and
code them before I call this PR ready, however suggestions and code
reviews are welcome in the meantime.
Being a pretty heavy refactor, some things might break (we have more
than a few unit tests so perhaps not) while others, coincidentally,
might be fixed without me knowing. Anyway I'm sure this PR fixes
aquarium beauty, which wasn't really working to begin with because the
code was so fucking bad. Nothing really worth of a CL entry tho.
TODO:
- [x] handheld aquariums, craftable with a kit and little plastic or
buyable from the fun vendor ig.
- [x] an aquarium upgrade for handheld aquariums to bypass possible
restrictions.
- [x] update the beauty element to consider items, which shouldn't
contribute to the area beauty when held or otherwise not on a turf.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This should make handheld aquariums possible.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: refactored aquariums heavily. Please report any fishy bug.
add: Added portable/handheld fish tanks to the game. They can be crafted
with an aquarium kit and 5 sheets of plastic. While portable, they
cannot store fish that are too big or if there're too many already. This
restriction can be removed by using the new "bluespace fish tank kit"
techweb item.
map: Replaced the lawyer's stationary pet aquarium with a fish tank, so
you can carry McGill around.
balance: Reduced the iron cost of stationary aquariums a little.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
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
This PR kills the abstract internal and external typepaths for organs,
now replaced by an EXTERNAL_ORGAN flag to distinguish the two kinds.
This PR also fixes fox ears (from #87162, no tail is added) and
mushpeople's caps (they should be red, the screenshot is a tad
outdated).
And yes, you can now use a hair dye spray to recolor body parts like
most tails, podpeople hair, mushpeople caps and cat ears. The process
can be reversed by using the spray again.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Time-Green put some effort during the last few months to untie functions
and mechanics from external/internal organ pathing. Now, all that this
pathing is good for are a few typechecks, easily replaceable with
bitflags.
Also podpeople and mushpeople need a way to recolor their "hair". This
kind of applies to fish tails from the fish infusion, which colors can't
be selected right now. The rest is just there if you ever want to
recolor your lizard tail for some reason.
Proof of testing btw (screenshot taken before mushpeople cap fix, right
side has dyed body parts, moth can't be dyed, they're already fabolous):
## Changelog
🆑
code: Removed internal/external pathing from organs in favor of a bit
flag. Hopefully this shouldn't break anything about organs.
fix: Fixed invisible fox ears.
fix: Fixed mushpeople caps not being colored red by default.
add: You can now dye most tails, podpeople hair, mushpeople caps etc.
with a hair dye spray.

## About The Pull Request
This PR introduces three new fish that can be caught from deep fryers.
That's right, deep fryers are also fishing spots now. Is it silly? Yeah,
but this is more or less the reason I made a whole PR to make fish
edible. They've two gimmicks: one is that they're already fried, and
neither raw nor gorey and can be cut into nuggets. The other is that
they can evolve into the next type just by growing, no need of pairing
them with each other, starting from the 'fryish', then the 'fritterish'
(and its two variants: 'bernard-fish' and 'matthew-fish', big pun on the
english food company) and finally the 'nessie-fish' which is very rare
and big and you'd probably get 20 nuggets by cutting it alone.
Other than that, this PR adds a simple growth mechanic to fish, where
they get a bit larger each time they're fed. The gained size and weight
depends on several factors like hunger, their current size and weight
and how much until they hit the maximum cap of twice the initial size
and weight. This means bigger fish grow slowier, and it's better to feed
them once in a while but not every other second. Obviously size and
weight influence a lot of fish mechanics, so it's good to have a way to
increase these values outside of breeding RNG (which is very shallow).
TL;DR: Feed the fish once their hunger reaches 50% circa for maximum
growth.
Included in the PR are a few tidbits, like fixing a little mistake
around the 'picky eater' fish trait, more readable code around the
fish_growth component (unrelated to the aforementioned growth mechanic)
and hunger or adding the fish evolution datum for armored pikes (normal
pikes plus stinger trait, which I basically forgot to), and adjusting
how weight and size of offsprings is calculated.
## Why It's Good For The Game
First and foremost, a brand new on-station fishing spot that is not the
fishing portal, toilets (or the rare moisture traps in maint). Second, a
fish growth mechanic through which weight and size can be increased.
Third, a few code things. Four, little bugs, now fixed.
Fifth, have a screenshot of me fucking around to find out how many bites
it takes to eat all of the deepfried gargantuan nessie (53, and I had to
spawn another 10 humans to finish it):
## Changelog
🆑
add: You can now fish new, tasty treats by the station deep fryers.
add: You can now grow fish inside an aquarium by feeding them regularly
(at 50% hunger for maximum growth).
add: Added the evolution for pikes to armored pikes.

## 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
this is a very marginal code improvement to fish. One bitfield is better
than a bunch of booleans, and it lets me add more TRUE/FALSE settings in
the future without having to make new vars for it.
Also VV support for several vars (fish_traits will have to wait), if me
or someone else wants to var-edit fish for testing purposes or whatsnot.

## About The Pull Request
Fish (the item that you catch with a fishing rod) now has an edible
component attached to it, making it possible to eat them if you really
have to, at the cost of eventually killing and deleting the fish,
however, you normally shouldn't.
Along with the seafood and meat foodtypes flags, it possess the gore and
raw foodtypes too, making them pretty awful to eat unless you're a
(non-vegan) lizard, felinid, or wearing the strange bandana*, which can
only be found in the cqc kit case. Furthermore, it carry diseases like
the ones from food left on the floors for too long, so a strong stomach
is required to safely eat it even if you actually like it, dummy...
UNLESS you fry or grill it, thus killing the diseases (as well as the
fish) and removing both the gore and raw food types, then it becomes an
actually ok meal... UNLESS you're dumb enough to eat a pufferfish, a
donkfish or a slimefish.
That is more or less the general rule. A few fish stray for it. For
example, lavaloops are never raw (still gorey). The skeleton fish are
never edibles, and holodeck fish is, well, holographic and thus
disappears if you try to eat it.
*the strange bandana is a reference to MSG, and this is a reference to
the MGS3 fish eating animation.
This is WIP btw, I'll have to test it and add some then polish it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Whole unprocessed fish should be technically edible, even if not safe to
eat nine times out of ten. Also I kinda need this if I want to add a
tasty fishing spot to the kitchen deepfriers.

add: Whole, unprocessed fish is now edible. However it's pretty much
reccomended to grill or fry it for over 30 spess seconds before
attempting to eat it.

## About The Pull Request
I've come to realize manually updating all fishing stuff on the very

and fish experiments.
Now tested.

## About The Pull Request
Right now, there are two ways to set the aquarium visual for fish. The
first is to make a small little blob of pixels representing the fish
inside the aquarium, and then set the fish' sprite_width/sprite_height
vars for that little blob of pixels. The second is to set the fish'
source_width/source_height representing the boundaries of the fish
original icon state and then sprite_width/sprite_height to get how much
the icon state will be resized when used as an aquarium visual.
So far so good, except we're only humans, and this sort of stuff can and
will confuse us and overall make the process of adding new fish more
complex. There are quite a few fish that don't have these vars set up in
the right way, so I've decided to butcher out the second method in favor
of the first one. Given the size of the aquarium icon states, this is a
pretty trivial task. Furthermore it works better for fish whose sprites
are coiled or snakey-looking (jumpercables and emulsijack) or on a
diagonal axis.
I've also added an unit test to ensure future contributions don't ever
forget to set the right vars and make an aquarium icon state.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Less confusion, and two less fish variables (they've over 40!).

## 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
For the sake of not dumping players with niche information 90% of the
players won't understand, I'll keep the CL pretty generic
🆑
add: Added twelve new fish types to the game. Some are cool, other are
not, some come with their own special traits and some are straight-up
weapons.
add: Added more fishing spots to the game. Sand, ice, rivers, the cursed
spring...
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
I've componentized part of the code that manages raising lobstrosities
from chrabs so that it can be added to other fish too. As proof of
concept, I've added tadpoles. Tadpoles are not fished like the rest,
instead you merely right-click a puddle and after 5 seconds you'll get
one. Tadpoles are fairly fragile, cannot be butchered, don't reproduce,
require lukewarm freshwater, need to be feed frequently, and become
frogs after about 3 minutes.
## Why It's Good For The Game
A small needed refactor for the chrab code, plus another small fish to
make it easier to complete the first fish scanning experiment.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added tadpoles, which can be scooped from puddles with right-click.
Functionally they're like most fish, which require an aquarium to
survive, and also need to be fed fairly frequently, however they quickly
become frogs after about 3 minutes of care.
add: Every station now has a couple puddles. One at the public garden
and the other in prison.
qol: Changed the name of an aquarium UI button from "Reproduction
Prevention" to "Reproduction and Growth", as it controls both fish
breeding and growth.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
Lobstrosities can now be raised from aquarium icemoon/lavaland chrabs.
First of all, you've to get a live chrab, an aquarium, and some fish
feed. Second, you place the chrab inside the aquarium and turn the
'allow breeding' settting on (should probably rename it to a more apt
name now). Keep the chrab well fed, and possibly with some friends and
props in the same aquarium until it develops into a hopefully calm
juveline lobstrosity and plops out of the aquarium (it can take some
time). From there you can tame it by feeding it its favorite food: arms
and lavaloop fish, and wait another dozen minutes for it to mature into
a fully grown lobstrosity.
Juveline lobstrosities are basically smaller and weaker lobstrosities,
if not slightly faster in some ways. Unlike their taller counterparts,
they can be tamed. Once done so, they'll retain their tamedness once
grown up. Regardless, tamed lobstrosities can be given the pet command
to fish for things by pointing at them. Thanks BenMatrix for the
profound fisher component, woo.
The chrab's weigth and size influence the growth speed of the first
stage faster, meaning bigger chrabs (may require crossbreeding) will
turn into juveline lobstrosities quickly. Amongst other things
influencing the resulting mob are fish traits:
Several traits have been given effects that apply to the mob, such as
nocturnal regeneration, being venomous or being able to fly akin space
carps. Also a new one that prevents the resulting lobstrosity from fully
developing
Now tested.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I'm building upon fishing and aquarium stuff, which has been an interest
of mine in a good while, though most of it doesn't have that many
practical uses, I'm slowly trying to make it cooler, and chasm chrabs
growing into lobstrosities is pretty much in line with the fluff texts
for the fish.
Eventually I'll have to add tips inside fishing toolboxes, otherwise
people won't know even half of it.
## Changelog
🆑
add: You can raise lobstrosities from chasm chrabs inside an aquarium
with the 'allow breeding' setting on. Keep the fish well fed, healthy
and not lonely if you don't want an hostile one.
add: Juveline lobstrosities (from chasms, plasma rivers, or aquariums,
xenobio too) can be tamed with arms and lavaloop fishes.
add: For lobstrosities grown from aquariums, they can have additional
effects based on the fish traits they had in the aquarium, like being
venomous or even flying.

## About The Pull Request
Iansdoor suggested this to me earlier (but I already knew it was a thing
on Goon), and I said ok. Basically, this PR adds an interaction between
explosions and fishing.
At the cost of potential collateral damage, you can too now use a TTV to
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.

This is a PR I worked on last month, but had to put on hold while
dealing with some pressing issues with fishing feature, minigame and
other stuff, and because I had to atomize out some of the stuff
previously present here.
I've expanded on the fishing portal generator to do something other than
dispense guppies and goldfishes. It now has multiple settings,
unlockable by performing scanning experiments for fish types, available
from the get go, which also reward a meager amount of techweb points
upon completion. The generator can now be built too. No longer it has to
be ordered from cargo.
It can also be emagged for the syndicate setting, tho right now it only
dispenses donkfish and emulsijack, both otherwise impossible to get
outside of... exodrone adventures.
The advanced fishing rod now comes with an experiment handler component,
specific to the fish scanning experiment, that automatically scans
fished content. The node to get it now requires 2000 points and the
first fish scanning exp to be unock.
A new skillchip has been added, which adds a trait that changes the icon
of the fish shown in the minigame UI, giving some clues on what the
reward will be. The same trait is also gained by reaching the master
(penultimate) level of the fishing skill.
A new fish type has been added, with its own quirks. One of these quirks
included temporarily switching movement direction of the bait.
Currently, it can only be fished in the hyperspace and randomizer
setting of the fishing portal.

## Why It's Good For The Game
The fishing portal generator is but a stale and underdeveloped prototype
of the fishing feature right now, so much I was thinking of removing it
at first. However, we also have a lot of fishes which are pretty much
unfishable, so I came up with the idea of adding new portal settings
that allow people to actually get them.
As for the skillchip and trait, it's but an extra to both the vending
machine in the library and the fishing skill itself, which has an
overall humble impact on the minigame.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Expanded the fishing portal generator. It now comes with several
portal options that can be unlocked by performing fish scanning
experiments, which also award a modest amount of techweb points.
balance: The fishing portal generator is now buildable and no longer
orderable. The board can be printed from cargo, service and science
lathes.
balance: Advanced fishing tech is no longer a BEPIS design. It now
requires the base fish scanning experiment and 2000 points to be
unlocked.
add: The advanced fishing rod now comes with an incorporated
experiscanner specific for fish scanning.
add: Added a new skillchip that may change the icon of the "fish" shown
in the minigame UI to less generic ones. Reaching master level in
fishing also does that.
qol: The experiment handler UI no longer shows unselectable experiments.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes https://github.com/Skyrat-SS13/Skyrat-tg/issues/23763
Somewhere along https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/77739 and
the following fishing PR's this feature got overlooked and broken.
The args for `dispense_reward()` and `find_chasm_contents()` needed to
be updated as they were just wrong.
This sets them straight and adds an additional fishing unit test for the
rescue hook to hopefully prevent this edge case from being overlooked.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Rescue hooks work again, hooray.
## Changelog

fix: rescue hooks will once again drop the mob next to the fisherman
instead of just displaying a balloon alert and doing nothing

Listing the changes, off the top of my head:
- Resprited fishing rods, hooks, and the worm bait!
- Added a new, telescopic fishing rod, that can be bought as a goodie.
The master rod is also telescopic now.
- Added a couple hooks. One that lets you move the bait up and down,
otherwise keeping it in place, and another that stops the fish from
escaping, but slowly kills it. The former from the bepis fishing tech
node, the latter frm the black market.
- Added a fishing skill and relative legendary reward: A fishing hat,
like the one that recites "women fear me, fish fear me"
- You can now stop fishing by activating the fishing rod in your hand,
and stops it from stealing all clicks on other things if it isn't in
your active hand.
- Reworked fishing traits into fish traits, which can apply to fish
after it has been caught.
- Expanded the fish breeding system. Traits may be passed down to
offsprings, and offsprings may evolve (mutate?) into different kind of
fishes if conditions when conditions are met.
- Added half a dozen new fishes, each with its own traits: lubefish,
sludgefish (and its purple variant), slimefish, unmarine bonemass and
unmarine mastodon. Also, holodeck fish, as a joke.
- New traits: lubed skin, parthenogenesis, toxic (new reagent), toxin
immunity, predator, necrophage, no mating, crossbreeder, aggressive and
revival. Converted Emulsijack's ability and Donkfish's yuckiness into
traits as well.
- Added a fish analyzer that you can scan aquariums and fishes with.
- Fish can now be blended if you really want to. The number of reagents
from blending, w_class, and the number of fillets you get from cutting
fish now scale with size and weight.
- fish feed is no longer infinite (but it should still be plenty).
- Implemented temperature requirements for aquarium fish.
- You can now buy (dead) fish from the black market for dirt cheap.
- Last but now least, toilets are now valid fishing spots.
