031e483e4d [MIRROR] New station trait job: Human AI (#26823)
* New station trait job: Human AI (#81681)

This PR does many things, I'll try to explain the basic/background stuff
to the main thing first:

1. Adds a new remote that allows a human to function like an AI. It
controls a fly that will fly around the station slowly, and when it
reaches a machine then the person can interact with it as if they were
an AI. This required changing a lot of silicon/AI checks with one that
also checks for this remote, and some messing with shared ui state.
2. Moves req_access from the obj and bot to ``/atom/movable`` which lets
it be shared between the two, no more copy-paste and one side lacking
features/checks/signals the other has.
3. Adds a check for AI config for AI-related station traits, which was
lacking prior

Now for the good part...
Adds a new station trait that replaces the AI with a Human.
This person is equipped with an AI headset (including Binary), an
advanced camera console, an omni door wand, the machine controller, and
their laws.
They are immune to the SAT's turrets (even if set to target borgs) and
are slow outside of the SAT, mimicing the actions of the AI.

They interact with the world through their advanced camera console,
which allows them to do most AI stuff needed, and the holopad they can
connect to without having to ring first (like Command can).

They are given a paper with the laws they must follow, but since they
are human they are able to bend it. Cyborgs that run the default lawset
are "slaved" to them via an unremovable law 0, so the Human AI can bend
the laws if they really need to (for their own survival n such), and
make the cyborgs obey their commands above laws, but in general this
shouldn't be a frequent occurrence. This does take into account the
unique AI trait, so it's not guaranteed Asimov.

When this station trait rolls, all Intellicards, AI uploads, and AI core
boards are destroyed and are unresearchable. They can be spawned by
admins in-game if necessary. Maybe in the future we can also exclude
Oldstation from this but I haven't really decided.

Extra perks:

Human AI spawns with a Robotic voicebox (unless they are a body purist)
and teleport blocking implant, so they can't use teleporters to bypass
their on-station slowdown.
They also have an infinite laser pointer that can be used to blind
through their camera console. This is unfortunately nerfed from the
recent borg balance PR that removed its stun. This was meant to be the
alternative to no longer being able to permanently lock borgs down like
AIs can (or more than one, for that matter).
They aren't affected by Roburgers, Acid, and Fuel's toxicity.
Bots salute them like they do Beepsky (which is now a trait)
They spawn with SyndEye to replace the AI's tracking ability
They do not have a bank account

The machine remote has a little fly in it that flies to the machines it
is pointed to, working as the arms and legs of the Human AI. It scans
the machine and punches in the action the AI does, and is how the AI
accesses basically anything. This fly slowly moves from one machine to
the next, and can be recalled with Alt Click.
It works on machines and bots.

https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/53777086/e16509f8-8bed-42b5-9fbf-7e37165a11e8

I've seen a funny screenshot one day of a person replacing the AI by
using a bunch of door remotes, camera console, crew monitoring console,
and a few other things. I've been thinking about that for a few years
and really wanted to make it official if not easier to make possible,
because it is an incredibly funny interaction.
This makes it a reality, and while they aren't as powerful as regular
AIs, I think it makes for better and funnier in-game moments. With the
same weight as Cargorilla (1), I hope this wouldn't be rolling too often
and ruin rounds, but instead show off the different capabilities that
Humans and AIs can do, to do the job of an AI. You win some you lose
some.

0946e65da3 Hand label refactor / Adds hand label visuals (#82112)
## About The Pull Request

Inspired by #82099 

- Hand labels now has a small visual associated.
- Hand labels now function like stickers, meaning burning temperatures
will remove hand labels from objects.
- General refactor of hand labels. Hand labeler now uses the new
interaction functions. Labels are now objects.

## Why It's Good For The Game

I thought it'd be a nice small touch to show visually when things are
labelled, so you can tell at a glance rather than needing to examine (or
hover) it.

If people preferred or used the invisible labels for certain gimmicks, I
can add a translucent label option as well. Maybe one that requires
plastic to print.

## Changelog

qol: Hand labels now have a visual effect associated, and are also
affected by heat / can be cleaned off like stickers.

17af9fc9ba [MIRROR] Placing things in a paperbin actually plays sounds. (#26896)
* Placing things in a paperbin actually plays sounds. (#81974)

## About The Pull Request

In contrast to my previous pr:
Really just changes the `user.transferItemToLoc(...)` used for
transferring paper to the bin to have a `silent = FALSE` parameter.
Also did it for pens for good measure, though I believe most pens don't
have such sounds yet.
## Why It's Good For The Game

Placing paper on a table makes sounds, placing paper in a bin makes no
sound. This feels awkward.
This changes that to actually make a sound.
Also adds `silent = FALSE` to placing pens on it for good measure,
though most pens don't have such sounds yet.

LemonInTheDarkandGitHub ef714c1c34 Overlay Lighting Color/Intensity Pass (#81425)
## About The Pull Request

I was looking at screenshots of the game and realized we had a lot of
light sources that were really... flat.

Medium intensity, not colored at all, cringe.

So I went over all the uses of overlay styled lighting (since I've done
matrix lighting already) and gave them more unique features. Colors that
match the sprite they're used with, intensity to produce vibes, that
sort of thing.

It's kinda impossible to go one by one cause there's a LOT.

I may have gone a bit overboard with a few, I'm messing around with some
things like giving bots colors based off their department, etc. We'll
see how this all turns out.

Oh also I tweaked how the cone of overlay lighting is drawn. It seemed a
bit too present to me so I dropped the alpha down from like 200 to 120
at max (so it's roughly half of the mask's alpha so it's less
overwhelming

## Why It's Good For The Game

Lighting should be impactful, subtle and colorful

9ac81e1a64 New station trait job: Human AI (#81681)
## About The Pull Request

This PR does many things, I'll try to explain the basic/background stuff
to the main thing first:

1. Adds a new remote that allows a human to function like an AI. It
controls a fly that will fly around the station slowly, and when it
reaches a machine then the person can interact with it as if they were
an AI. This required changing a lot of silicon/AI checks with one that
also checks for this remote, and some messing with shared ui state.
2. Moves req_access from the obj and bot to ``/atom/movable`` which lets
it be shared between the two, no more copy-paste and one side lacking
features/checks/signals the other has.
3. Adds a check for AI config for AI-related station traits, which was
lacking prior

Now for the good part...
Adds a new station trait that replaces the AI with a Human.
This person is equipped with an AI headset (including Binary), an
advanced camera console, an omni door wand, the machine controller, and
their laws.
They are immune to the SAT's turrets (even if set to target borgs) and
are slow outside of the SAT, mimicing the actions of the AI.

They interact with the world through their advanced camera console,
which allows them to do most AI stuff needed, and the holopad they can
connect to without having to ring first (like Command can).

They are given a paper with the laws they must follow, but since they
are human they are able to bend it. Cyborgs that run the default lawset
are "slaved" to them via an unremovable law 0, so the Human AI can bend
the laws if they really need to (for their own survival n such), and
make the cyborgs obey their commands above laws, but in general this
shouldn't be a frequent occurrence. This does take into account the
unique AI trait, so it's not guaranteed Asimov.

When this station trait rolls, all Intellicards, AI uploads, and AI core
boards are destroyed and are unresearchable. They can be spawned by
admins in-game if necessary. Maybe in the future we can also exclude
Oldstation from this but I haven't really decided.

Extra perks:

Human AI spawns with a Robotic voicebox (unless they are a body purist)
and teleport blocking implant, so they can't use teleporters to bypass
their on-station slowdown.
They also have an infinite laser pointer that can be used to blind
through their camera console. This is unfortunately nerfed from the
recent borg balance PR that removed its stun. This was meant to be the
alternative to no longer being able to permanently lock borgs down like
AIs can (or more than one, for that matter).
They aren't affected by Roburgers, Acid, and Fuel's toxicity.
Bots salute them like they do Beepsky (which is now a trait)
They spawn with SyndEye to replace the AI's tracking ability
They do not have a bank account

### The machine remote

The machine remote has a little fly in it that flies to the machines it
is pointed to, working as the arms and legs of the Human AI. It scans
the machine and punches in the action the AI does, and is how the AI
accesses basically anything. This fly slowly moves from one machine to
the next, and can be recalled with Alt Click.
It works on machines and bots.

13spacemenandGitHub f2e973a951 Photocopier butt sprites refactor (#81693)
## About The Pull Request

- Butt sprite pngs put into a single .dmi
- All living mobs can have butt sprites defined [maybe even ghosts in
the future?]
- Human butt sprites are based on the chest bodypart instead of species
- having a human chest and felinid tail shows felinid sprite
- Added fuzzy moth butt sprite from Paradise
- Butt sprites use defines
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cleaner code, more realistic and logical for humans on the chest rather
than species, moth player flavor, butt sprites did not need to be
separate pngs at all, and gives felinid tails some more "value"
## Changelog

806f038524 [MIRROR] Refactors how machines are deconstructed (#26466)
* Refactors how machines are deconstructed (#81291)

## About The Pull Request
This refactors how machines are deconstructed in the following ways

- You can no longer override `obj/machinery/deconstruct()`. If you want
customized behaviour then override `on_deconstruction()` instead.

This comes with the added benifit of no longer needing to check for the
`NO_DECONSTRUCTION` flag because the machine base proc does that for us
& if it finds that flag it won't proceed to call `on_deconstruction()`
meaning no machine will have a chance to spawn anything which is the
current behaviour.

This is required to make #81290 work for all machines at least so that
machine can send the `COMSIG_OBJ_DECONSTRUCT` signal without subtypes
overriding & forgetting to call the parent proc

- `dump_contents()` only gets called when the machine is deconstructed
not destroyed thus not leaving behind any of its contents inside. Fixes

me mad.

better name for turf matrix lighting. Suggestions welcome

Worked fine when the owner moved, but if the owner was inside something
else, it would try and trigger an update on the PARENT's lights, which
are obviously not us.

[Renames MOVABLE_LIGHT and STATIC_LIGHT to better describe what they
do](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/de73a63bd4d97783c69c95370726d1c253ffb8fe)

People keep trying to change the lighting system of lamps and it makes
me mad.
I choose OVERLAY_LIGHT and COMPLEX_LIGHT here, I couldn't figure out a
better name for turf matrix lighting. Suggestions welcome

## Why It's Good For The Game

Closes #80005
Hopefully improves understanding of lighting at a glance

4495ea2e4d Refactors how machines are deconstructed (#81291)
## About The Pull Request
This refactors how machines are deconstructed in the following ways

- You can no longer override `obj/machinery/deconstruct()`. If you want
customized behaviour then override `on_deconstruction()` instead.

This comes with the added benifit of no longer needing to check for the
`NO_DECONSTRUCTION` flag because the machine base proc does that for us
& if it finds that flag it won't proceed to call `on_deconstruction()`
meaning no machine will have a chance to spawn anything which is the
current behaviour.

This is required to make #81290 work for all machines at least so that
machine can send the `COMSIG_OBJ_DECONSTRUCT` signal without subtypes
overriding & forgetting to call the parent proc

- `dump_contents()` only gets called when the machine is deconstructed
not destroyed thus not leaving behind any of its contents inside. Fixes

5543a44882 [MIRROR] ArcMining Pr Beta: Version 1.2 (#26205)
ArcMining Pr Beta: Version 1.2 (#78524)

This one's not like the last one, so much so that I'm not even going to
outsource the PR description to a robot this time!
Basically, **You should read the PR body before assuming that everything
is the same as last time. It's not.**

Click the link below to see a video summary of the main features of this
pull request.
https://youtu.be/Aho2omR0mjY?feature=shared

This pull request serves as a large rework of minerals produced by
mining, and by extension mining itself. I'll try and list each change
and it's associated nuance here.

The biggest addition to the game with ArcMining is **Ore Vents**. Ore
vents spawn as a ruin on the map, placing a randomized ore vent onto map
generation. Ore vents spawn in 3 different sizes, **Small, Medium, and
Large**. These vents will pick from a pool of materials they can
generate, and will hang out across the map. A player can use a mining
scanner to discover an ore vent, granting a small quantity of **mining
points** to begin with. Once scanned, ore vents will show what minerals
that ore vent will generate after they're fully tapped.

Scanning the vent again will trigger the extraction process. A small
drone will fly down, called the NODE drone, and buckle onto the vent.
Your job during wave defense is to protect the drone and to defeat waves
of randomly spawning mobs (dependent on if you're on lavaland or on
icebox). The quantity, duration, and time between waves is scaled to the
size of the vent you're protecting. Starting by scanning and protecting
lower tier vents earlier in the shift is a safer bet than doing a large
vent in the first few minutes. The drone has 500 health, and can take a
good few hits, but leaving it alone will cause it to meet an unfortunate
end quite quickly.

Cooperation can be your best asset, as mining with allies can greatly
help with wave defense, and mineral points are granted to anyone who
helps with defending the ore vent equally (So 500 * size tier,
regardless of how much help you receive). Once complete, the ore vent
will have a mining machine constructed on top of it, and will start to
dredge up **Boulders** from the earth automatically. More on boulders
later.

Ore vents can be located based on your mining scanner, and will provide
an appropriate audio cue based on if the ore vent has been discovered or
not, and once processed will no longer alert you to it's presence.

**Each station comes with a free vent that produces exclusively iron and
glass, free of charge.** This is to help with shifts where the station
may not have shaft miners to produce minerals, and to provide the
station with a baseline amount of minerals where none may exist
otherwise.

Mineral generation has been completely reworked. Previously, Mineral
Generation had a flat 13% spawn rate in-game. Once minerals spawned,
they would also have a chance to propagate their minerals to nearby
tiles, resulting in a rather massive pool of minerals that could spawn
throughout lavaland on the whole.

This tweaks that, by making minerals in walls spawn based on their
proximity to ore vents on maps that use cave generation. Both the
probability, and quantity of ores spawning in walls is scaled based on
distance, with ore vents looking like large caches of ores found in
walls. This makes following ores found in walls and checking their
quantity of minerals spawned a good indicator of how close you are to a
nearby vent in-round.

This means you can collect some points form both discovering ore vents
first, as well as collecting their surrounding ores, turn those in for
mining points, and then trading them in for gear upgrades to more
effectively take on ore vents. As a result of tweaking the balance of
this, the total amount of ores spawned in walls overall has been
decreased. However, by making more of the process time based, we still
result in a mostly balanced finished product.

On station, there are now three new machines. These are the BRM, the
Refinery, and the Smelter.

- The BRM acts as a teleporter. Instead of needing to carry boulders
back to the station, you can activate the BRM, and it will automatically
pick boulders to teleport back to itself. You can use this to teleport
boulders dredged up from lavaland onto the station for processing. **The
BRM will only lock on to boulders that are resting on an ore vent.**
Moving boulders back by hand will mean you'll have to haul it back by
hand.
- The refinery processes the non-metallic materials out of boulders.
This process sends the materials straight to the ORM, and collects
mining points from the ores smelted in the machine. Swiping with an ID
card lets you withdraw those points for your own personal account, but
remember that these points are for your whole team to share from. The
**Mining points obtained from this process is only 75% of the amount an
equivalent amount of ores would provide.**
- The smelter works nearly identically, however the smelter produces
metallic materials out of boulders instead.
- Once a boulder has had all of it's materials extracted, it's broken
down and deleted from the line. Otherwise, the boulder is spat out for
the next machine to process it (either the refinery or smelter).
- Once there's no minerals left in a boulder of any type, the refinery
or smelter will break the boulder down.
- Boulders **do not stack onto tiles with each other**, so they'll block
each other when pulled or when moving on a conveyor belt.

Boulders can also be processed by hand. Using a mining tool on a boulder
with right click will allow you to break down a boulder into it's
composite ores, but limits you to a maximum of 10 ore per boulder, where
the full amount can be extracted using the proper processing machines.
Also, processing by hand does deal small amounts of stamina damage over
time, do breaking a full large boulder can be particularly taxing.

Additional Boulder Processing Machines can be built, with the BRM board
being obtained from the Protolathe, while the Smelter and Refinery
boards being obtainable from the Autolathe instead. A _boulder
processing beacon_ can also be obtained from the mining points vendor as
a reward to assist with boulder processing. Boulder processing beacons
can be used to spawn in a new BRM, refinery, and smelter on the tile the
user is standing on, however **you'll still need to link them to the
ORM**!

All three machines can be upgraded with Stock Parts, allowing for **more
boulders to be processed at a time**. It does not, however, increase the
amount of minerals received from boulders, or points earned.

Mining borgs have been given some minor adjustments to compensate for
the changes to mining. Their mineral scanner, which now has an active
component to gameplay, is now a module as opposed to built into the mob.
This module allows for the same ability to discover and start waves of
monsters to fight.

Mining modules will find that their PKA now has a total of 90% mod
capacity as compared to the 80% they had before, to allow for more
robust defense of ore vents.

In addition, all borgs and AIs can interact with the BRM for boulder
collection.

Mining Mechs have had their utility tweaked as a result of these changes
as well. Mineral scanners to be used on mining mechs now have a larger
radius by comparison to their handheld cousins. Similarly, it now has an
active scanning button, which will actively discovery nearby ore vents.
To begin wave defense, you will need to hop out and scan a second time
however, so that you can properly accept the risks of drawing a horde of
bloodthirsty wildlife towards you and your companions.

Mechs can also manually process boulders, similar to mining tools using
their drill.

Golems, being more gentle and less aggressive than humans, while being
made out of LITERAL ROCKS, have a greater need to secure access to ores
and minerals to eat. As such, they have adapted to be able to do two new
things:

- Golems may now right click ore vents to be able to manually haul a
boulder out of the vent. This costs a hefty amount of stamina, but it
allows for golems to avoid combat during regular gameplay.
- Golems may now left click a boulder with an open hand in order to
manually process a boulder like a pickaxe. While not faster, it is
consistent and prevents golems from starving if they have access to a
vent, but no ores, somehow.

The labor camp, being a camp for rehabilitation and ~~excessive manual
labor~~ has been tweaked. Boulders now replace the random minerals
located on their island, and to acquire their prizes inside, much be
excavated and then broken out of the rock. Now YOU TOO can excavate
minerals and become a true mineral hero by working your way to freedom.

As a result of fewer mining points being available across the map due to
the new ore spawning mechanics, and the shift in how and when ores will
be coming in, almost every progress based mining point cost has been
reduced by around 10-20%. Many numbers are still subject to change at
present, but the idea is that core progress unlocks should be made a bit
more available earlier in the round before players can start to solo or
duo larger or more difficult ore vents, after which they'll be rolling
in ores.

Every once in awhile, an unusual boulder will get hauled up from the
mineral rich depths of lavaland. These **Artifact boulders** can
occasionally produce rare items, but for now they've mostly just been
pulling up **Strange objects** for science. Nanotrasen Natural Sciences
department will reward you extra points to be collected by boulder
processing machines for successfully extracting one. In the future, this
opens up a passive reward space that mining can reward to the station,
like providing cytology DNA samples, ancient seeds, or other artifacts.

- Boulders can be stored in all varieties of ore boxes (ground, mech)
should you choose, however as mentioned it's best to leave them where
they spawn and teleport them to the station for convenience.
- Maps that are not subject to cave generation will find that they are
largely untouched in terms of mineral balance.
- Future or existing ruins can now be tweaked to have a mineral balance
cost, as the ore vent ruin does. This will allow us to spawn in more
interesting ruins for pre-made combat challenges.
- There are unique ore vents that spawn across the map, that will summon
a boss mob relevant to that map. If the boss mob is defeated, that vent
will spawn large boulders pulling from every possible ore type that can
spawn. Not for the faint of heart!
- Similarly, the number of ore vents and mineral budget is now
adjustable in the cave generation procs, so maps may spawn with more or
less ore vents as desired for balance.
- Artifact boulders opens up a LOT of room for possible future content
like archaeology, xenoarch, artisci, and other design spaces!
- Megafauna STILL SPAWN ON THE MAP. They just happen to spawn in
addition to boss ore vents.
- **I'll add more to this as I get asked questions and remember things,
this is a huge PR and I'm confident I've missed at least something**

I outlined a lot of this in #78040, so I'll try and keep this relatively
snappy this time, while noting that I've made some concessions to make
the whole system a lot more playable while not trying to break out
design decisions that are at the end of the day, better for the game and
the overall resource balance in round.

Minerals are a very poorly balanced system, and have been since their
inception many years ago. We heavily rely on mineral balance in round,
and yet we've really only balanced it by introducing so much supply that
there's no equivalent exchange for materials that doesn't just heavily
flood the exchanged material. For example, items printed from materials
that are otherwise considered "rare" on master exist in such quantities
and they'll never practically run out in our allotted 90 minute time
slot design. This PR adjusts how ores spawn to a point where we can
minimize the amount of ores that need to exist on the map for mining to
be able to progress, while still providing enough resources for the
station that it covers the needs of the station adequately.

Miners will need to be more strategic about what resources they've
collected, and be able to make decisions about which vents are worth the
risk of attempting to fight, how to prepare for a wave defense, and when
to head back up for upgrades, while finally giving them at least some
kind of incentive to work together and use different equipment.
Resonators make cleaning up the caves around vent easy, sandbags set up
easy defenses for your vent, mechs can serve as a wider range radar
while mining, all while still providing a new gameplay loop to mining.

By limiting the amount of ores that can enter the round from the
massive, massive amounts that were coming into the round beforehand (see

gameplay to the processing of minerals. I have some plans for that,
however this PR already got bloated really REALLY badly due to scope
creep and the number of intersecting systems that rammed into each other
to make this PR possible. So that'll be next. Plus, as I've mentioned,
we open up places for ore processing to find fossils, relics, and other
things that can implemented down the line.

Overall, I don't expect this PR to save or kill ore balance, but we gain
a LOT more control over it through the use of our mining defines
attached to this PR, and at the end of the day, that's a great place to
start off of.

🆑
add: Added ore vents. Scanning them with mining scanners shows what
minerals they contain. Scan again to fight off a horde of beasts as your
drone assistant excavates the vent, so the ore vent will produce mineral
boulders!
bal: Ores that spawn in walls now spawn based on their proximity to ore
vents, with their chance to spawn and their minerals contained scaling
from low to high.
add: Added the BRM, Refinery, and Smelter. These pieces of equipment are
used to process ore boulders into minerals for the station. Stock Part
upgrades allow more boulders to be processed at one time. They collect
mining points as well, to be redeemed with an ID card swipe.
add: Boulders are teleported to the station via the BRM if left
untouched. Boulders can also be cracked open for a reduced amount of ore
using pickaxes or golems hands.
add: All stations come equipt with a pre-excavated ore vent, which
produces a basic supply of iron and glass only. Scan other vents for
your critical resources!
add: Look there's a shit ton of changes on mining, for more detail check
out the Pull Request: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78524.
sound: New sounds and noises for your high octane factorio-like
gameplay!
image: All new boulder sprites for the new minerals and rocks added to
the mining gameplay loop, as well as mining machines!
image: Overlays appear over vents when scanned to let you know their
contents at a glance when actively scanned with any mining scanners.

49452b3851 [MIRROR] The Coupon Master PDA app [MDB IGNORE] (#25855)
* The Coupon Master PDA app (#80240)

## 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):
![Coupon
Master](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/42542238/1d242d09-0f62-4e2e-8a6e-014daa3f6a55)

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

compatible with master but no one said anything on the PR so i got
jebaited into merging it. The code should be up to the same standards
per the documentation I read (preventing thwacking the target in certain
situations while not returning anything in other situations)

master will definitely compile now though

## About The Pull Request

I woke up today and thought 'what would be easy thing to do today so I
can say I've done something?'. Then I remembered I saw several gangtool
usages the time I split radio up, and I could remedy those. 7 hours
later, device.dmi is split in a folder of its own, and I've also given
unique sprites to door remotes and landing desginators.


## Why It's Good For The Game

The device.dmi was kind of a mess.

MrMelbertandGitHub 1e76fd70b4 Attack chain refactoring: Broadening tool_act into item_interact, moving some item interactions to... atom/item_interact / item/interact_with_atom (#79968)
## About The Pull Request

Implements half of this (with some minor changes): 


![image](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/51863163/bf5cc4bb-5a1f-42e3-921d-9a57bc6096cc)

The ultimate goal of this is to split our attack chain in two: 
- One for non-combat item interactions
  - Health analyzer scanning
  - using tools on stuff
  - surgery
  - Niche other interactions
- One for combat attacking
  - Item hit thing, item deal damage. 
  - Special effects on attack would go here.  

This PR begins this by broadining tool act into item interact. 

Item interact is a catch-all proc ran at the beginning of attack chain,
before `pre_attack` and such, that handles the first part of the chain.

This allows us to easily catch item interaction and cancel the attack
part of the chain by using deliberate bitflag return values, rather than
`TRUE` / `FALSE`*.

*Because right now, `TRUE` = `cancel attack`, no matter what, which is
unclear to people.

Instead of moving as much as possible to the new proc in this PR, I
started by doing some easy, obvious things. More things can be moved in
the future, or technically they don't even need to move in a lot of
cases.

This flag only worked on the `/obj/structure` and `/obj/machinery`
level, so let's rescope it from `flags_1` and put it where it belongs -
`obj_flags`.
Bitflag operators should be scoped to their subtype specific bitfield,
not really useful to have this take up a spot on the `/atom` level if
absolutely nothing other than `/obj`s use it.

On the tin, this lived on the `/obj` level and polluted a lot of stuff

Let's make it a trait for that boolean-like behavior so I can be happier

I wish we could tie it to unique sources but that whole drinking glass
thing makes me suspicious of weirder things so I think the way we do it
(source being a `REF()` to the thing itself) is probably fine enough for
the time being.

57af94957d [MIRROR] Different pen types have unique behavior when used in foam darts. [MDB IGNORE] (#25183)
* Different pen types have unique behavior when used in foam darts. (#79587)

## About The Pull Request

This PR makes the following changes:
- Refactors inserting items into foam darts into a component on items
that can be inserted into darts
- Adds the aforementioned component to pens
- Provides an inspection tip for how to modify a foam dart
- Gives different pen types specific behavior when used in a foam dart

Pens typically give a foam dart 5 brute and 50% embed chance (affected
by falloff). The following types of pens give the specified properties
(usually directly derived from the pen's stats and additional
functions):
- Red pen (and four-color pen set to red): Slightly faster dart
- Captain's fountain pen: Slightly faster dart, and 75% base embed
chance
- Sleepypen: Tries to inject its reagents into the hit mob, but doesn't
penetrate thick clothing like syringe guns do
- Energy Dagger: 35 brute, 100% base embed chance, and slightly faster
dart
- Survival Pen: Mines rocks on impact
- Fine Tip Pen (if someone somehow manages to get one): 100 bare wound
bonus and 9000 demolition modifier

## Why It's Good For The Game

Expands the emergent gameplay possibilities of using pens in foam darts.

While there are balance risks involved with traitors being able to buy
the equivalent of reusable 45u syringe shots and 35 brute bullets, you
are not likely to get your pen back once it hits its target, unless you
somehow have the recall spell and have bound the pen to it. There are
probably more TC-efficient ways to achieve comparable projectile
weaponry, but foam dart guns have an air of subtlety to them... at least
until your skin is pierced by a pointy writing implement that may also
be something more deadly. If maintainers still have balance concerns,
please let me know.

020d2ad13e [MIRROR] Code compression for reagent holder. Lowers plumbing reaction chamber tick usage [MDB IGNORE] (#25050)
* Code compression for reagent holder. Lowers plumbing reaction chamber tick usage (#79686)

## About The Pull Request
More code improvements for reagent holder. As you can see it removes a
lot more code than it adds so code savings are significant. This does
not touch on any floating point arithmetic, all that is behind us, this
focuses on removing redundant procs and merging existing procs to
achieve the same functionality so if you do see any changes in reagent
related behaviour it's not intentional and should be reported as a bug
here.

The following code changes can be summarized into points.

**1. Removes procs `get_master_reagent_id()` &
`get_master_reagent_name()`**
Both of these procs have the exact same functionality as
`get_master_reagent()` with the only exception of returning a different
value. Instead we can just call `get_master_reagent()` directly and
infer the name & type of it ourselves rather than creating a wrapper
proc to do it for us, therefore reducing overall code

**2. Removes & Merges `remove_all_type()` proc into `remove_reagent()`**
The proc `remove_all_type()` is highly inefficient, it first uses a for
loop to look for the reagent to remove & then it again calls
`remove_reagent()` on the reagent once it has found it. We can just
embed this functionality directly into `remove_reagent()` by simply
adding an additional parameter `include_subtypes`. This way the
operation is faster, and we reduce the code to get the job done. Also
now `remove_reagent()` will return the total volume of reagents removed
rather that a simple TRUE/FALSE

**3. Removes & Merges `trans_id_to()` proc into `trans_to()`**
Both these procs have the same job of transferring either a single
reagent or all reagents. `trans_id_to()` is a scaled down version of
`trans_to()` because
- It does not have any `method` var. This means if you want to transfer
a single reagent to a mob/organ or any other object it does not have the
functionality to expose the target to that transferred reagent.
- It does not have a `multiplier` var to scale reagent volumes
- It does not have code to deal with organs or stop reactions i.e. it
does not have the `no_react` var.

We can overcome all these short comings by simply adding an extra var
`target_id` to specify what specific reagent to transfer therefore
attaining the same functionality while keeping the benefits of
`trans_to()` proc therefore reducing overall code

**4. Lowers plumbing reaction chamber tick usage for balancing ph.**
Rather than invoking a while loop to balance ph it's much easier for the
player to simply make the reaction chamber wait for e.g. add a reagent
that will never come. This will make the chamber wait therefore giving
the reaction chamber ample time to correctly balance the ph and then
remove that reagent from the list therefore getting correct ph levels.
No need to create code hacks when the player can do it themselves  so
the while loop has been removed

## Changelog
🆑
code: removed redundant procs `get_master_reagent_id()` &
`get_master_reagent_name()`
code: merged `remove_all_type()` proc with `remove_reagent()` now this
proc can perform both functions. `remove_reagent()` now returns the
total volume of reagents removed rather than a simple TRUE/FALSE.
code: merged `trans_id_to()` proc with `trans_to()` now this proc can
perform both functions
refactor: plumbing reaction chamber will now use only a single tick to
balance ph of a solution making it less efficient but more faster. Just
make the reaction chamber wait for longer periods of time to accurately
balance ph
refactor: reagent holder code has been condensed. Report any bugs on

SyncIt21andGitHub 130b3dfa64 Code compression for reagent holder. Lowers plumbing reaction chamber tick usage (#79686)
## About The Pull Request
More code improvements for reagent holder. As you can see it removes a
lot more code than it adds so code savings are significant. This does
not touch on any floating point arithmetic, all that is behind us, this
focuses on removing redundant procs and merging existing procs to
achieve the same functionality so if you do see any changes in reagent
related behaviour it's not intentional and should be reported as a bug
here.

The following code changes can be summarized into points.

**1. Removes procs `get_master_reagent_id()` &
`get_master_reagent_name()`**
Both of these procs have the exact same functionality as
`get_master_reagent()` with the only exception of returning a different
value. Instead we can just call `get_master_reagent()` directly and
infer the name & type of it ourselves rather than creating a wrapper
proc to do it for us, therefore reducing overall code

**2. Removes & Merges `remove_all_type()` proc into `remove_reagent()`**
The proc `remove_all_type()` is highly inefficient, it first uses a for
loop to look for the reagent to remove & then it again calls
`remove_reagent()` on the reagent once it has found it. We can just
embed this functionality directly into `remove_reagent()` by simply
adding an additional parameter `include_subtypes`. This way the
operation is faster, and we reduce the code to get the job done. Also
now `remove_reagent()` will return the total volume of reagents removed
rather that a simple TRUE/FALSE

**3. Removes & Merges `trans_id_to()` proc into `trans_to()`**
Both these procs have the same job of transferring either a single
reagent or all reagents. `trans_id_to()` is a scaled down version of
`trans_to()` because
- It does not have any `method` var. This means if you want to transfer
a single reagent to a mob/organ or any other object it does not have the
functionality to expose the target to that transferred reagent.
- It does not have a `multiplier` var to scale reagent volumes
- It does not have code to deal with organs or stop reactions i.e. it
does not have the `no_react` var.

We can overcome all these short comings by simply adding an extra var
`target_id` to specify what specific reagent to transfer therefore
attaining the same functionality while keeping the benefits of
`trans_to()` proc therefore reducing overall code

**4. Lowers plumbing reaction chamber tick usage for balancing ph.**
Rather than invoking a while loop to balance ph it's much easier for the
player to simply make the reaction chamber wait for e.g. add a reagent
that will never come. This will make the chamber wait therefore giving
the reaction chamber ample time to correctly balance the ph and then
remove that reagent from the list therefore getting correct ph levels.
No need to create code hacks when the player can do it themselves  so
the while loop has been removed

## Changelog
🆑
code: removed redundant procs `get_master_reagent_id()` &
`get_master_reagent_name()`
code: merged `remove_all_type()` proc with `remove_reagent()` now this
proc can perform both functions. `remove_reagent()` now returns the
total volume of reagents removed rather than a simple TRUE/FALSE.
code: merged `trans_id_to()` proc with `trans_to()` now this proc can
perform both functions
refactor: plumbing reaction chamber will now use only a single tick to
balance ph of a solution making it less efficient but more faster. Just
make the reaction chamber wait for longer periods of time to accurately
balance ph
refactor: reagent holder code has been condensed. Report any bugs on

DrTuxedoandGitHub b5654d7203 Security Pen and Penlight improvement (#79299)
## About The Pull Request
Improves penlight sprite and code.

A new type of pen has been introduced - the Security Pen. This pen is
red and can create a holograph around a person, similar to a medical
penlight. The holograph prompts the person to surrender for 30 seconds,
and the holograph itself is visible for 5. There is a 30-second cooldown
between usage.

Holosign itself does nothing except be visual, just like medical
holosign **(DO NOT MISTAKE HOLOSIGNS FOR HOLOBARRIERS)**


https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/42353186/1ee5f794-7218-4e52-b04f-3ebb50bd224a

Now every Security member spawns with a Security Pen in their PDA.

Now you can print Security Pens at Security Techfab, and Penlights at
Medical Techfab.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The only way to prompt someone to perform the surrender emote is by
holding them up with a gun. However, this mechanic can be quite
unreliable, even after updates, especially if the person is moving. As a
result, many players are unaware of how to prompt the surrender emote or
even about its existence, so they don't know they can trigger it
themselves by typing "*surrender".
This enables non-lethal arrests without stun batons or other tools.

Sprites are a significant improvement as the previous penlight sprites
were outdated.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: There is now a more convenient way to prompt surrender to emote -
the Security Pen. Each officer is equipped with one in their PDA. Simply
click someone with it to prompt a 30-second surrender. They are
printable at Security Techfab as well.
qol: Penlights now are printable at Medical Techfab.
image: Penlights got a new cleaner sprite to replace its ancient one
code: The code for Penlight's holographic sign has been improved.

02608f3622 [MIRROR] Intercom Resprite and Tweaks [MDB IGNORE] (#24525)
* Intercom Resprite and Tweaks (#78366)

## About The Pull Request

Changes the sprites of the Station Intercom, Command Intercom, and
Prison Intercom to the next ones:
![new
intercom](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/42353186/0fc0a0e7-911c-47cb-8ba9-7663b07891da)
![new command
intercom](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/42353186/8537a81a-db41-4ffb-ab82-2e5661d5c229)
![prison
intercom](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/42353186/73d899ba-69da-412c-81d6-ca2642291ceb)

Now Station Intercom and Command Intercom descriptions are changed to
tell more about their real functionality.
Command Intercom now has High-Volume settings like heads headsets.

There is now a memo with frequencies of every channel on the station,
the memo is placed near the Command Intercom and in the
Telecommunications Room.
## Why It's Good For The Game

Intercoms are part of the "old wall-mount" sprites that were never
touched, besides the brief addition of overlays.
Replacing them to design more familiar of other wall-mounts will make it
less ancient.

Making the Command Intercom and Prison Intercom look unique ensures
players (especially new ones) can distinguish them by just glancing
without needing to examine them.
The Command Intercom having a High-Volume setting makes it even more
unique as an item that is only met in one room at the station, also
makes any Command orders given through an intercom (during
Telecomunnications outages) more noticeable.

The description change gives more useful information about Station
Intercom and Command Intercom. Now players (especially new ones) can
understand that Station Intercoms are usable during telecommunications
outages, and Command Intercoms can be set to any frequency.

The memo will help players (especially new ones) understand what numbers
they should input to access certain channels using Command Intercom, as
right now, the only way to find out the frequencies is through wiki or
directly checking servers.

<!-- Argue for the merits of your changes and how they benefit the game,
especially if they are controversial and/or far-reaching. If you can't
actually explain WHY what you are doing will improve the game, then it
probably isn't good for the game in the first place. -->

b6da56408e [MIRROR] A comprehensive refactor / cleanup of bullet_hit and on_hit to cut out a single bad species / mob proc [MDB IGNORE] (#24430)
* A comprehensive refactor / cleanup of `bullet_hit` and `on_hit` to cut out a single bad species / mob proc (#79024)

## About The Pull Request

- Refactored `bullet_act`. Adds `should_call_parent` and refactors
associated children to support that.
   - Fixes silicons sparking off when hit by disabler fire.
- Desnowflakes firing range target integrity and cleans up its
bullet-hole code a bit.
- Cleans up changeling tentacle code a fair bit and fixes it not taking
off throw mode if you fail to catch something.
   - The Sleeping Carp deflection is now signalized
- Nightmare projectile dodging is now signalized and sourced from the
Nightmare's brain rather than species
- Refactored how cardboard cutouts get knocked over to be less
snowflaked / use integrity
- Also adds projectile `on_hit` `should_call_parent` and cleans up a bit
of that, particularly their arguments.
- On hit arguments were passed wrong this entire time, it's a good thing
nothing relied on that.

## Why It's Good For The Game

This is cringe.

a711879ba8 [MIRROR] Paper bins behave properly when dumping their contents. [MDB IGNORE] (#24086)
* Paper bins behave properly when dumping their contents. (#78702)

## About The Pull Request

Fixes #78696

`dump_contents()` for paper bins was never updated to match the refactor
in #69586. This meant that it didn't work at all, dumping only
initialized sheets of paper and not removing references to them from the
bin itself. Most tangibly, this means that cutting open a natural bundle
of paper deletes all of the paper along with the object.

The paper bundle problem is now fixed. I don't know if there's actually
any way for a regular paper bin to dump its contents, but it works
properly regardless.
## Why It's Good For The Game

Dumping the contents out of something should dump the contents out of
that thing.
