## About The Pull Request
I didn't realize that default aggro range for mobs is 9, so tendrils
would try to attack you with their whips and spikes despite you being
completely out of their range, which looks pretty funny.
I've fixed this by separating out aggro ***grab*** range and aggro
sustain ranges, lowering latter to 5 for tendrils, and adding checks for
target distance for both abilities it has. The Thing also had a similar
behavior but used rather jank code for that (which I don't think even
worked), so I've modified it to use the new system as well.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Stationary mobs probably shouldn't try to attack mobs completely out of
their reach

fix: Tendrils no longer try to attack you when you're out of their reach

## About The Pull Request
Bileworms now attack by firing a barrage of arcing projectiles at their
target, one guaranteed to hit their turf and the rest spread around
them. Bileworms fire 5 shots and vileworms fire 7 at a faster rate.
The projectiles themselves deal 20/25 burn damage and scale with MELEE
armor (as ACID is mostly for atom armor and not mob) on mobs and ACID on
objects.
Bileworms now have a short jump animation before they burrow, during
which they can be stunned by getting shot or hit (only damaging
projectiles count, so you need to melee with your crusher if you want to
stop a burrow). Doing so prevents them from attacking for 2.4 seconds,
after which they burrow back underground without an animation (as to
avoid chainstunning)
They will not burrow immediatelly after firing, now only repositioning
if their target is 3 or less tiles away from them or if they have been
hit by an attack. Their health has been increased to 110/175 to
compensate for them now being able to be stunned, as those are above
important breakpoints for damage, making them require 1 more swing after
backstab/1 more shot to kill respectively.
When attacking NODE drones bileworms will have 30% less spread, making
them a priority target to take out during vent defense, but not as
dangerous as brimdemons or legions.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Bileworms are not fun to fight for both PKA and PKC users, there is no
counterplay to their burrowing, and they are not engaging during vent
defense. This should address all of these issues, and make them more fun
to fight.

balance: Bileworms now fire arcing shots instead of cross patterns, and

## About The Pull Request
Goliaths no longer instantly stun the mobs they hit with their tentacle
for full 10 seconds, instead leashing them to the spot they were grabbed
at or dragging them towards themselves. The ranged tetris-piece attack
has been changed to a full cross which tethers the target preventing
them from moving away more than 1 tile, while the line and the ring
attacks tether the mob directly to the goliath itself and drag them in.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0b566a12-17ae-4a8a-97ac-5734c89c83d4
The tentacles can be manually removed after standing for 6 seconds, or
by hitting them for 75 damage total (3 PKC swings, or 5 bayonet hits).
They also naturally retract after 10/15 (cross/line and ring) seconds
like before.
Goliaths themselves have received a massive speed boost, going from 3
second movement delay to 1.2 seconds (150% buff) and no longer can
friendly fire with their tentacles (and ancient goliaths have their
trophy drop guaranteed)
Brimdemons, lobstrocities, watchers and legions also received some
changes:
- Brimdemons no longer can wound with their beams (they were basically
guaranteed to land a nasty burn wound with the initial blast), but are
now affected by laser armor and their beam DOT (not the initial 25 burn
damage upon firing) has been increased from 5 to 7. Their blasts can now
be interrupted by hitting them from their side or from their back
- Lobstrocities have had their retreat distance decreased from 8 to 6,
making them much less likely to randomly lose aggro on the miner (their
aggro range is 9 tiles, meaning that even a single tile of movement on
miner's part will result in lobsters losing interest in them when on CD)
- Watchers now try to stick to 3-5 (previously 4-6) tiles of distance
between themselves and their target, and legions try to maintain 4-6
tiles of distance as opposed to running away completely. This should
make fighting both of them more interesting and engaging, and make
dealing with them during vents less cancerous.
Sprites for the tentacle item and mob overlay are by thgvr from
https://github.com/shiptest-ss13/Shiptest/pull/2432
## Why It's Good For The Game
Goliaths are extremely outdated in their attack design, 10 second
hardstuns are basically a guaranteed death if there are any other mobs
around and aren't very engaging to fight on their own as they are very
easy to evade with 3 second movement delays.
Change to lobstrocities should just make their AI less jank, and
watcher/legion range changes should make them less slippery when
fighting with PKC or zero range PKA, or during vent defense.
## Changelog
🆑 SmArtKar, thgvr
balance: Goliaths no longer hardstun, but instead bind and drag their
targets in with their tentacles. They are, however, much faster now.
balance: Brimdemon beams can no longer wound, but deal a bit more DOT
damage. Their beams can also be interrupted by hitting them from the
side or back in melee.
balance: Watchers and legions now try to maintain a few tiles of
distance from their targets instead of retreating.
fix: Lobstrocity AI should no longer sometimes flee out of their aggro
range when retreating.

## About The Pull Request
Raptors are now immune to ice slipping and sliding. Mobs that are
buckled to something no longer can get stunned by slips (required for
former to work, makes no sense to be a thing)
Mining MOD has had its ore digging speed multiplier increased from 1.5
to 2 as it didn't clear the tick threshold previously which was not
intended.
Mining bombs fired in sphere mode have been replaced my a barrage of
homing (useful against lobstrocities) micro missiles, which deal
increased damage to lavaland fauna and dig rocks (just like mining bombs
did before)
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/13b2f01f-a98b-4c24-b8be-2d04ae0ef941
Neat impact particles included
## Why It's Good For The Game
Raptors aren't very strong on icebox and lack any ice immunity options
that miners normally get (snow shoes, ice miner loot), letting riders be
immune to ice slippage is a nice boost to them.
Mining MOD bombs are very clunky to use and nigh useless most of the
time, as even with my previous buffs its still easier to simply pull out
a PKA due to both how hard it is to land hits, and how little damage
they deal. While previously they could be used to clear out large areas,
that role has been delegated to the mining MOD itself in my rework,
leaving them without a clear purpose. New missiles should provide an
offensive alternative for mining MOD users and let them defend
themselves while exploring or digging in the sphere form.
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
Introduces a new targeting priority strategy system for basicmob AIs,
which allows controllers to decide which mob to prioritize over others.
Mining mobs will now focus on the NODE drone unless hit, and will pursue
the attacker for 25 seconds before dropping the aggro. They also get
increased aggro if you've attacked other mobs in their view recently,
and after a few hits will have enough aggro to swap to you from the NODE
drone. Ashwalkers get a reduction in aggro because they live there.
Legion broods and brimdemons will immediately target anyone who attacks
their allies rather than waiting for multiple hits. Broods also now
inherit their parent's targets and retaliation/reinforcements lists.

## About The Pull Request
Basic Mobs used to always trigger cooldown on clicks. This resulted in
missed attacks causing you to have a delay before you could attack
again, this makes it really punishing to play as a basic mob.
To resolve this I did a mini-refactor on basic mob's attack chain to
allow for the return values to determine whether we go on cooldown or
not. Preventing attacks that did nothing (due to not passing checks, or
simply not having any behavior) from causing cooldown.
This fixes#95605

## About The Pull Request
Reverts space movement being affected by inertia
What is kept:
- Items have a varying force on your drift speed, ie heavier items will
move you faster through space, and smaller items, slower.
- Jetpacks can have varying force of impulse - the effect is applied
directly to the mob's `inertia_move_multiplier`
- Tethers are unreverted - they still stop you from drifting too far
from the tether point, however you can no longer 'swing' with them.
What is removed:
- Multiple impulses in the same angle/direction no longer speeds you up.
Only the fastest impulse in 1 direction is accounted for.
- An impulse in a different angle/direction will completely override any
existing impulses, even if they are faster.
- Jetpack stabilizers are once again perfectly capable of immediately
stopping any active impulses.
TL;DR
If you point yourself in a direction you will now go that direction
## Why It's Good For The Game
The concept was fun and had potential but the fight between impulses vs
tiles was very, very clunky and janky.
Multiple fixes were attempted to reduce the jank but it ultimately
nograv still acts very cumbersome and jetpacks are still very
unappealing to use.
Smartkar gave the go-ahead to revert this a while back so, o7.

## 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

Plasmamen no longer take 1.5x brute and burn damgae
Plasmamen are now affected by demolition modifier, meaning they take

Skeletons and golems are also affected by demolition modifier
## Why It's Good For The Game
As a part of #94324 I was making `MINERAL` mobs affected by demo mod
But I realized this would absolutely murder the heck out of Plasmamen!
1.5x brute + another 1.25x brute from blunt objects!
But then I realized "wait that kinda makes sense... a lot *more* sense
than the arbitrary damage modifier"
So here we are
Plasmemes are as vulnerable to being smashed to bits as before, but can
now boast a minor resistance to being stabbed due to their lack of
fleshy bits
This feels a bit more appropriate to their skeletal nature without
completely removing that aspect of their character. It also gives them a
very minor upside (they need it)

## About The Pull Request
Fixes issue #94484 , where black raptors don't spawn from eggs with 6 or
more inherited colors.
The fix is done by changing a check against "==
length(GLOB.raptor_colors))" to ">= (length(GLOB.raptor_colors) - 1))".
Let me know if I should go back to the drawing board, here.
Benefits of this approach:
- Fixes the base issue; if red, green, purple, yellow, white, and blue
raptors are cross-bred, black raptors can be guaranteed.
- Offspring of black raptors will now also be guaranteed black raptor
spawns.
Drawbacks and risks of this approach:
- Doesn't do much for extensibility if more rare raptor colors are to be
added.
- May make black raptors too accessible, especially since one black
raptor means all future breeding attempts will also result in a black
raptor.
- Introduces an issue in which a black raptor can be guaranteed from 5
non-rares and 1 black raptor. I figured this wouldn't be considered a
problem from the player perspective.
- I'm not a professional coder, so I may have missed some obvious
issues.
## Why It's Good For The Game
If I interpret the description in PR #93564 correctly, black raptors
were originally intended to hatch from eggs that had all six raptor
colors besides black. (The exception: If there was a color combination
that guaranteed a specific resulting color, the guaranteed color would
still take precedence.)
This allows Black Raptors to be an achievable goal beyond breeding as
many raptors as possible and hoping for the 1/199 chance to hit.
## Proof of Testing
<img width="439" height="133" alt="RaptorFix"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/79507355-34ec-4a97-b586-37653229a2d8"
/>
Verified:
- Non-guaranteed combos result in a black raptor if the inheritance list
is 6 or higher
- Includes the offspring of black raptors hatched in this way
- Same-color pairs, even with 6+ inheritance colors, will result in a
hatchling of the same color
- Guaranteed-color pairs, even with 6+ inheritance colors, will result
in a hatchling of the guaranteed color
- Black raptors **don't** have guaranteed or likely spawns if the
inheritance color list is less than 6 in length

## About The Pull Request
Extends the part of the crafting unit test that ensures consistency
between the total mats of the components of a recipe (or rather, the
result of said recipe) and a generic instance of the same type as its
result, previously only implemented on food recipes.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This ensures a degree of consistency with the material composition of
various objects in the game. I couldn't do it in the original PR as that
one was too big already and it took months to get it merged, and have
the relative bugs fixed.
Currently a WIP as I slowly deal with the unit test reports.

All objects crafted with stacks now inherit their mat composition (not
necessarily the effects and color) by default, while previously only a
few things like chair, sinks and toilets did. Report any object looking
or behaving weirdly as a result.
fix: The material composition of ammo boxes is no longer a 1/10 of what
it's supposed to be. It was a shitty hack to make it harder to recycle
empty ammo boxes. Instead, they lose materials as they're emptied now.

## About The Pull Request
Two main things.
Multiple instances of use of a proc in AI controllers seemingly assuming
the default behaviour will work for them, but what ends up happening is
`search_tactic` gets redefined and redefined with no defaut search range
parameter, so nothing ends up passed to the `search_tactic` child procs,
so they all call `oview` with `null` and this... somehow doesn't
runtime? Has behaviour that works some of the time??? I hate this
fucking language. Anyway.
Stoat steal items behaviour was completely broken and apparently was not
tested once since it was merged in. I've made the corrections I can, but
I haven't figured out why stoat AI never enters idle, so we have a
behaviour that leads to the stoat running up to an item, grabbing it,
and then just staying there, unmoving. I've sunk too many hours into
this, I'm just going to call it fixed and let someone else figure out
what exciting additions there need to be to a behaviour that was never
functional in the first place.
## Why It's Good For The Game

## Why It's Good For The Game
Screen alerts always had the midnight hud button baked in their icon
states (now overlays), which completely disregard the player's hud
setting, much unlike action alerts buttons. Melbert has also said that
it'd be nice if the code for action buttons could also be used in screen
alerts and viceversa, to slim things down. That's obviously not what I'm
doing today, but having most of the screen alerts already without the
baked background will surely help if we ever pursue that objective.

init to it)
## 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...

full credit to @Kapu1178 for the juice
instead of `reacher.CanReach(target)` we now do
`target.CanBeReachedBy(reacher)`, this allows us to give special
behavior to atoms which we want to reach, which is exactly what I need
for a feature I'm working on.

## About The Pull Request
Slightly reworks the mining MODsuit to be more distinct from other
mining gear and have its own designated role as an exploration and
mining tool.
- Base armor (when covered in ash) has been reduced to 50 from 60, being
equal to that of an explorer suit with two goliath plates attached.
However, entering the sphere mode will grant additional 20 armor,
bumping it up to 70 (equal to that of a H.E.C.K. suit)
- Integrated drill no longer mines instantly by default, instead having
a delay of 0.25 seconds. However, when entering the sphere mode, the
drill will overcharge and get back its instamine, as well as get halved
power consumption. Currently, those two are mutually exclusive, and the
drill cannot be used in the sphere mode.
- Mining bomb cooldown has been reduced to 1s from 1.25s. They also now
detonate much faster, and the detonation time matches their animation.
The digging radius has been reduced back to 3x3 from 5x5, and their
damage has been reduced to 28 from 48 to compensate increase in firing
speed and reduced detonation delay making them much easier to use
(functional DPS has been reduced from 36 to 28)
- Rewrote ore bag a bit to try and make sure it doesn't break when
depositing ores into the ORM. I only have faint suspicions of this being
possibly being caused by ore getting deleted and leaving a null in the
list, so removing it should hopefully? stop the bag from breaking.
- The 0.25 slowdown is back, but it should be less of a problem
considering that the sphere mode now is a much more viable traversal
tool and not an utter joke aside from lava traversal.
- The MODsuit now comes pre-equipped with a magnetic harness, which is
now capable of stowing kinetic crushers in addition to guns. This should
make using the sphere mode less of a pain in the ass, as you won't drop
your weapon whenever you enter the sphere mode before you remember to
put it in your suit storage slot. The delay on harnesses has also been
reduced to 0.5 seconds, which should make them more comfortable to use,
while still allowing someone to grab your gun if you're not careful.
- The sphere mode can no longer traverse lava roundstart, instead
requiring to be upgraded with two pieces of bileworm skin to get
lava-resistant plating. This is meant to work together with #92877,
being a part of ongoing effort to bring mining back in terms of speed
and action level, reducing mining and exploration speeds in favor of
higher ore spawns and more focus on gear and equipment progression.

Additionally, both the mining drill and green raptor bumpmining has been
nerfed (technically fixed, practically nerfed) by removing the diagonal
movement... thing which allowed you to mine thrice as quickly and ignore
the one-tick movement delay due to how diagonal movement works.

Its still fast and comfortable to use, just not absurdly fast.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The mining MODsuit is in a very weird place both balance and progression
wise. Its very easy to get if you ignore vents, it has good armor stats,
it allows you to partly ignore being set on fire (or fully if you get
the regulator module, but that requires more effort). I don't think that
the buff was very needed, it was very strong as-is when used properly
(with a yellow or green raptor mount) which not a lot of people seem to
have realized.
However, its still in a pretty pitiful state as its core feature (sphere
mode) is nigh useless as the drill only works outside of it, and mines
themselves are extremely clunky and uncomfortable to use. This leaves it
only being useful for its cheap armor (without needing to kill
goliaths), free GPS and ore bag that don't occupy your pockets, and
ability to ignore environmental hazards.
The solution I've decided to go with is reworking the MODsuit to be
focused on mining and exploration rather than combat, being a good
equipment piece for newer players and miners less interested in hunting
megafauna. This carves the MODsuit its own niche rather than being
weirdly slotted between base suits and contending with drake armor in
terms of stats/effects.
Roundstart lava crossing capabilities removal alongside bumpmining nerf
is somewhat unrelated to the rest of the changes, it is a part of the
exploration rework alongside #92877, which is intended to force miners
to engage in combat more. Without the nerf, the suit is as fast as a
yellow raptor, which lets it go through lavaland at absurd speeds when
moving diagonally. (Yes, diagonal zig-zag movement ignoring the bump
delay allows you to outspeed someone moving cardinally)
More details about the project can be found in this [design
doc](https://hackmd.io/@smart-kar/HkUINgBtke). The instamine ability of
the sphere will likely get slightly nerfed in the future with the main
batch of ore spread buffs and mining speed nerfs, but I've left it as
powerful as a green raptor to not make the suit useless when compared to
other options in the meantime.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Mining MODsuit has gained a magnetic harness for all of your
crusher stowing needs.
balance: Magnetic harnesses now take only 0.5 seconds to pick up your
gun, and can pick up crushers.
balance: Mining MODsuit has regained it small slowdown, and lost 10
melee armor.
balance: Mining drill MODule is no longer instant (outside of the sphere
mode of a mining MOD)
balance: The mining sphere MODule now can break rocks when rolling into
them, gives 20 melee and bomb armor when active, and has a shorter bomb
cooldown, but bombs themselves have reduced damage and mining AOE.
balance: Mining sphere MODule now requires an upgrade in form of two
pieces of bileworm skin to be able to traverse lava, as opposed to being
able to do so innately.
fix: Fixed MODsuit ore bag sometimes breaking permanently when
depositing ores into the ORM.

## About The Pull Request
Immerse element now uses an alpha filter rather than a vis_contents
object, which allows them to be much more smooth and seamless. There's
no longer a visible contour on fully opaque liquids, nor a janky effect
when you move in a liquid. This also fixes the broken fluid animation,
so now it actually has a bit of a wave to it.

The code is immensely cursed in some places, ideally this should not
have to use vis_contents whatsoever but BYOND seems to be intent on
causing memory leaks whenever you try to set mutable's render_target to
an interpolated string, so I'm using a VIS_HIDE object as a relay for
the filter for the time being.
I've ended up changing some mob pixel_y offsets to pixel_z (as they
should've been from the start) to account for this (the logic is being
that pixel_y is "physical" position on the turf, while pixel_z is how
high above the turf something is)
## Why It's Good For The Game
The effect is less jank and looks cool.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Refactors immerse element to use alpha filters instead of
static overlays. It should look much prettier now.
