## About The Pull Request
I'm making the ordeal of finding a maint disk (or buying blackmarket
bootleg disk) with a theme in it a slightly more rewarding experience,
while sticking to the concept that it's something you've to find, unlike
default PDA themes.
This PR also proves to be an opportunity to put the progress tab that I
coded a year ago for the 'Fishdex' to good use.
TODO:
~~Refactor preferences to allow specific choices to be shown/hidden
depending on whether the player meets a defined criteria, otherwise
you'll have to do it manually every round, which is lame~~
- [x] Make some simple ui icons associated with each unlockable theme to
be shown in the cheevo progress tab
- [x] Code to validate deserialized DB values, in the remote case that
any theme is removed in the future, as well as unit test code for any
non-abstract theme without ID
- [x] Add sound cue and chat feedback when unlocking a theme (or when
fishing a new kind of fish for the first time, like, the code's similar)
- [x] Test all of this
## Why It's Good For The Game
These themes are basically an end in itself, and I understand the reason
behind their existence is to make for some cute, little maint loot, but
relegating it to chance of finding a disk somewhere in maintenance,
**every single round** really rots whatever little substance this purely
cosmetic feature already has.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Once installed, special PDA themes from maintenance disks will be
present on your roundstart PDA on future rounds (Sadly I couldn't figure
out a way to add those to the preferences UI yet). You can check which
PDA themes you've unlocked in the Progress tab of the achievements UI.

Mod computers with the access changing software installed have a
secondary ID slot once again. This ID slot doesn't contribute to access.
You can insert IDs into the slot with right click and remove them with
alt-right click.
Also removes the "New IDs and you" memo paper.
Also tweaks PDA on_deconstruct so contents are dropped on when they're
deconstructed with assembly.
Fixes#92151
## Why It's Good For The Game
Changing IDs is very unnecessarily clunky with the one slot. Insert hop
id, log in, remove hop id, insert crew id, change access, remove crew
id, log out.
We had it right back when we had two slots. Insert hop ID, insert crew
id, log in. It just works.
This also allows for mobile HoPs to change access without necessitating
removing their ID from their PDA.
Other changes:
The "New IDs and you" memo is very old. They haven't been new for 4
years now. I don't think anyone reads it and they served their purpose.
I found it odd that, if your PDA was melted or blown up, it would delete
your ID. If this is a hold-over from old PDA behavior feel free to let
me know but otherwise it seems sensible that it'd spit out the contents
as you would expect.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
qol: The access changing software (the HoP console) now has ID two slots
again (one for the HoP's id and one for the ID being changed). You can
insert IDs in the secondary slot via the UI or right click, and remove
them via the UI or alt-right click.
qol: If your PDA is destroyed via acid or bombs, your ID (and similar
contents such as disks) are spit out instead of being deleted
del: Deletes the "New IDs and you" memo in the HoP's office. They
haven't been new for 4 years.
fix: Engineering sub-tab in the access changing software no longer looks
messed up
fix: Fix reversed alt-click logic for mod pcs

## About The Pull Request
This PR integrates circuits for modular computers and a good bits of
their programs.
The peculiarity here is that modular computers have no fixed amount of
unremovable components (except the base one with just a couple ports for
now), instead, they're added and removed along with programs. With a few
exceptions (such as the messenger and signaler), for these program
circuits to work, their associated program has to be either open or in
the background.
For a reason or another, not all programs have a circuit associated to
them, still, however the programs with a circuit are still a handful.
They are:
- Nanotrasen Pay System
- Notepad
- SiliConnect
- WireCarp
- MODsuit Control
- Spectre Meter
- Direct Messenger*
- LifeConnect
- Custodial Locator
- Fission360
- Camera
- Status Display
- SignalCommander
*By the by, sending messages has a cooldown, so it shouldn't be as
spammy. If it turns out to not be enough, I can make it so messages from
circuit will be ignored by other messenger circuits.
The PR is no longer WIP.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I believe modular computers could make for some interesting setups with
circuits, since they're fairly flexible and stocked with features unlike
many other appliances, therefore also a speck more abusable, though
limits, cooldowns, logging and sanitization have been implemented to
keep it in check.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Modular Computers now support integrated circuits. What can be done
with them depends on the programs installed and whether they're running
(open or background).
add: Modular Consoles (the machinery) now have a small backup cell they
draw power from if the power goes out.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new PDA program to the supply category, which allows
users to redeems coupons for various cargo packs (mostly goodies), like
the ones also found at the bottom of cig packs.
How it works is fairly simple:
- Once installed, the modular computer subsystem will periodically, at a
3-5 minutes interval, generate a coupon code datum associated to a plain
text code, which is sent out to everyone with the program installed.
- The user can then open the program and insert the text into an input
box to redeem the coupon code, which is then associated with their bank
account.
- He will then have to find a photocopier, and tap it with the PDA to
print the coupon. Only one coupon can be printed. Photocopier fees
apply, so it'd cost 5 creds to the average assistant to print the
coupon.
- He can then insert the coupon in a cargo console and order/reuest the
associated pack (same deal as cig coupons).
- Some coupon codes however, especially those with juicer discounts,
will expire after a while if not printed.
Albeit mostly innocuous, the program provides negative Detomatix
resistance, slowly fills the computer file storage with trash files with
each redeemed coupon, and halves the download speed of new apps. Not
really the cleanest ware out there.
This PR also extends coupons to several non-goody packs, since they have
been privately buyable for over the last couple years now. Some packs
get discounts less frequently however, with those in the uncommon
category being roughly 1 in a 12 chance and the rare being 1 in 50.
Here's a screenshot of the UI (outdated, I've reduced the height from
500 to 400 and the notice box tip to specify the right click):
Fun fact: Right now, the odds of a 75% discount coming from the Coupon
Master for the 1.000.000 credits bycycle pack are roughly 0.0012%, while
that of a 50% for the same pack, from a cig pack coupon are 0.0042%.
## Why It's Good For The Game
These last couple days I've been wanting to test myself at making simple
UIs, as well as contributing to the modular computers feature, which has
started to become pretty neat ever since PDAs were reworked into a
subtype of it.
Beside, coupons are a very small feature limited to the bottom of
cigarette packs (also possibly cursed) in the current state of affairs.
Cargo is filled with packs that are niche or fluff. Modular computers
also has those little things that, while interesting, do not contribute
a whole lot. Maybe this is one of them, but I guess free* coupons are
always a big W.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added the 'Coupon Master' program for the PDA. Install it to
receive periodical, redeemable coupons for several cargo packs. Requires
NTnet connection and the messenger enabled to work.
add: Coupons are no longer only limited to goodies, but may also apply
discount to some other packs as well.
