## About The Pull Request
This PR adds 16 more wands to the game, try and guess what they all do!
I finished coding this PR 6 weeks ago but it turns out I had to sprite
16 wands after that before I could PR it.
<details>
**Wand of Animation**- It's like the Staff of Animation but doesn't
recharge itself, obviously.
**Rod of Babel**- Grants victims a new random spoken language and then
removes all of their other languages.
**Shearing Rod**- It renders you bald. If you are covering your hair
with a helmet, it pops the helmet off (possibly its most useful effect).
If you're already bald, your bald head will shine brightly and blind
nearby people.
**Party Wand**- Fires projectiles that are incredibly alcoholic. Two of
them will destroy the livers of most targets and kill them (although it
gives them a good leadup time to get that fixed before dying of alcohol
toxicity), so try one at a time if you're just there to have fun.
**Wand of Ice**- Freezes people temporarily, making them really cold and
unable to move. It also spawns slippery ice on impacted tiles.
**Wand of Chaos**- Forces targets to hallucinate from a curated list of
hallucinations. It looks and is named sort of like the Staff of Chaos
just in the hopes that people are more likely to believe that the wizard
did actually just instantly kill them, set them on fire, or turn them
into a demon. Even if it doesn't, a lot of these cause you to stop
moving or be temporarily knocked down or in some other way disoriented.
**Lifting Rod**- Removes gravity from a target for two minutes, which
funcionally immobilises them if they're in the middle of a room or you
can use on yourself to cross big pits.
**Rod of Compassion**- Heals you and your target a little bit, and also
gives you both Pacifism for 30 seconds. This gives you time to talk out
your problems, or deliver a monologue.
**Wand of Snacking**- Turns things into pizza. If fired at a mob, will
put some pizza in their hands and force them to start eating it.
Unlikely to be deadly, but it might spawn mouldy pizza, a food they are
allergic to, ethereal battery acid pizza, or pizza which dismembers you.
**Pestilent Wand**- Confers a transmissible plague which causes you to
periodically cough out vermin of various degrees of danger and hostility
depending on disease level, treated via traditional methods of exorcism.
**Wand of Pratfalls**- Slips and pies the target as well as creating
small amounts of lube foam.
**Wand of Rebellion**- Removes a limb from the target, then animates
that limb. Stop hitting yourself.
**Rod of Repulsion**- Throws things you shoot away from you.
**Switching Rod**- Swap places with the hit atom, as with the spell
Swap.
**Restraining Rod**- Summons a tentacle from the ground to grasp the
target, immobilising them for 20 seconds or until someone helps them.
**Wand of Zapping**- Briefly locks up the target's nerves with lightning
(it's secretly a classic ss13 taser).
</details>
They are available to wizards via the new option "Wand Assortment
(Bargain Bin)" which only costs a single spellbook point, but gives you
an assortment of 6 wands picked at random from this list of new wands
and some of the existing ones.
If you buy two or more sets of wands (and are wearing the wand belt from
the first one) then instead of spawning wands in a belt it will spawn
them in a bandolier, which fits into your backpack or can be worn on a
suit slot.
Wand bandoliers in a suit slot will automatically replace an empty wand
you try to fire with a wand that still has ammo in it.
Several of these wands' projectiles are now also possibilities from
firing the Staff of Chaos (making it more chaotic) and some of them also
have their own Magicarp types.
Also I made it so that if you animate an animating weapon then it
focuses on animating more things instead of shooting its animating bolts
at mobs that are already animate. I could do this for more specialty
wands too at some point (door wand projectiles don't exactly hurt
anyone) but if I do that it'll probably be in a different PR.
## Why It's Good For The Game
A good number of these wands come from a downstream antagonist that's
essentially a lower-threat wizard. I thought these were all fun or funny
effects to have in the game upstream but also not ones that people would
typically want to buy as a dedicated spell (or alternately, that would
be pretty good as a dedicated spell but quite boring), so instead
they're limited use spells that you get in bulk for cheap.
I didn't think we'd really want to bulk up the spellbook with several
different kinds of themed bundle though (and frankly, they don't share
themes), so it's a blind box instead.
The bandolier was added to compensate people for buying random wands
multiple times, so they can have more of a wand-based playstyle.
Now you can spend all of your points on 60 wands (maybe more if you take
the gambling trait...) and be a sort of wizard cowboy, or split them
among your apprentices, or just leave them everywhere like candy and see
whether the crew fuck things up for themselves with their new power I
guess.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Adds 16 more wizard wands to the game, which wizards can buy
cheaply but randomly, or are available via Summon Magic.
add: If a wizard buys more than one set of wands they will receive a
"Wand Bandolier" holster which fits in the backpack or, if worn in the
suit slot, will automatically exchange an expended wand for a full one.
balance: Staffs (and wands) of animation that are animated will try to
animate other objects instead of firing at living mobs, which are
already animated.
balance: Animating a wand of nothing will turn it into a wand of
animation (and animate it).
balance: The staff of chaos can now do more things.
balance: Magicarp now additionally come in Babbling, Frigid, Quantum,
and Weightless varieties. Collect them all!

## About The Pull Request
What it says on the tin.
Here are the new values for all the Syndicate modsuits.
| Modsuit | Melee | Bullet | Laser | Energy | Bommb |
| --- | --- |--- |--- |--- |--- |
| Infiltrator | 40 | 50 | 30 | 30 | 35 |
| Blood-Red | 50 | 50 | 40 | 50 | 40 |
| Elite | 60 | 60 | 50 | 50 | 55 |
## Why It's Good For The Game
The infiltrator is, despite marketed as a lesser armor, paradoxically a
stronger armor than the blood-red modsuit. This is likely due to some
value changes with time, since both suits have had many iterations over
the years.
To make sure the infiltrator is not too extreme a value purchase
(particularly on Icebox, where the lack of pressure protection doesn't
matter whatsoever), and ensure that the blood-red is actually the
superior of the two for the cost, their values for melee, bullet, laser,
energy and bomb armor have been swapped.
The knock on effect of this is that nukies get a stronger baseline
armor. Going to be honest here, I think most people will still buy the
elite. More armor is always better. And the elite comes with additional
benefits on top.

## About The Pull Request
First, boring stuff.
The "Modsuit equipment" techweb node has been split into two nodes, with
the additional node containing the more civilian MODules (And the new
plating), and costing 20 points.
A new "Perfumer" MODule has been added(not printable anywhere, but in
the new suit by default) that just cleans you.
The MODsuit being added has been added to the LawDrobe's premium
section, for 300 credits.
Now, the real addition.
This adds a MODsuit that is a modular suit, that is to say, a suit, tie,
shoes and glasses. The glasses aren't actually real flash-proof
sunglasses by default, but the welding protection module can be added.
The suit is obviously not space-proof, and offers no protection to
anything but biohazards. The suit has 10 complexity max, due to the fact
that most modules don't have a point on it. This is subject to change.
The pre-made one also has the stamp and paper dispenser MODules
pre-installed, which are both now activateable via the neck slot.
The suit control unit is the tie.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Have you ever been called to court, but you didn't have a nice suit, so
the judge holds you in contempt and sends you to jail? Well, never
again. Gone are the days that you cause two innocent boys to almost be
executed for a crime they didn't commit simply because you don't have a
nice suit. With the Moonraker Conglomerate's newest export in your
hands, you'll never be the less formal one ever again. No matter the
occasion, you're never more than a few moments away from
self-representing.
Video of the fit:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/44d08ca8-9ae1-4887-81e6-cec11792132e
It's the same look as a suit jacket, white tie, sunglasses and laceup
shoes. You must get a matching jumpsuit of your own.
I think it's neat, and it's a damn shame that there's not a single
MODsuit that isn't just head gloves suit shoes. All these MODules which
are activateable from head, mask or glasses, and no suits that allow it.
Missed opportunity, I'd say.
Also, lawyer buff. Need I say more?
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added a modular SUIT, a deployable, one-piece three-piece suit.
Purchasable from the LawDrobe.
balance: The MODsuit equipment techweb node has been split in two, with
an offshoot for civilian MODules.

## About The Pull Request
If you have an outfit with a modsuit control, and are equipping it to a
dummy for previews, when you unequip it SSwardrobe tries to delete the
individual parts when stashing the mod control since they are in the
suit's `contents`.
The control is then stashed, and the parts all cause hard deletes after
a while since the suit itself is still holding a ref to all of them.
Since there is currently no good fast way of checking all the modsuit
parts outside of a nest of istypes I added an item flag for it.

as paramedic later into the game you'll prefer jaws of life over jaws of
recovery because theyre both silent AND have no area restrictions, but
heres the thing: you cant wear it in suit storage, nor it can act as
bonesetter additionally (why would paramed need wirecutter?) this PR is
aimed to combie both of those jaws into one modified, that would be
useful for paramedic.
also you really should be able to wear them in mod suit storage, trust
me, it sucks to carry paramedic jacket/coat in inventory everytime and
waste time on swapping

## Why It's Good For The Game
**armor booster removal**
I really dislike how this module works, it's a constant hassle having to
manually swap mode depending on the pressure, it's just an annoyng
memory check that punishes you with chip damage when not respected.
The choice of wheter wearing a mod or not doesn't really apply to
nuclear operatives since they wear these things all the time and losing
half of your armor in space never really made a ton of sense to begin
with.
**Jetpack power drain buff**
The drain on this thing is absolute fucking nuts, it eats high capacity
cells in a matter of minutes, power should be a limiting factor to using
these things but it shouldn't tank your battery health this quickly.
**Cap,Sec,Hos MODs buffs**
Back when Fikou introduced MODsuits, one point he clarified in the
design doc is that "Combat stuff usually leads to uninteresting design,
it makes the suits do everything for everyone"
I don't want to diss on the dude (Love you bud), but I don't think his
point makes a ton of sense.
Combat stuff, on this case Combat mods should be built with Combat in
mind.
In all fairness he then has a paragraph addressing why the crew based
combat suits should have low armor, but it still rings hollow to me.
Armored or not, being slower than your average spessman is enough to
make you an easy target or to never be able to chase anyone on foot,
even with their armor increased I don't see players having them
constantly on all the time, the slowdown is a hard enough disincentive.
The Magnate and HoS mods specifically are unique pieces of gear, and
they are usually assigned to 2 of the most important (and prone to
assassination) roles on the station.
There's also a weird paradox with some of the modules they come equipped
with the sec MODs, the pepper spray and the projectile dampener are
built around getting hit, which is a hard sell when your armor is so low
you might as well just die straight up.
Out of respect to Fikou's will of not wanting to grant the crew the
ability to mass produce combat MODs, I removed the sec modplates from
the techweb and moved em as a cargo import.
**Uplink MODules Price reduction**
These were originally priced with progression in mind, traitor
specifically has become considerably weaker since they lost access to
avenues to generate extra TCs.
It's hard to justify getting a suit when most weapons in the uplink cost
more than half of your budget, let alone the modules.
**Shock absorption into the inf suit**
This module is pretty much already mandatory if you don't want to lose
fights in one hit, wearing a syndie modsuit makes you giga valid to
everyone on station and any traitor worth their salt will buy this
module regardless anyway; it just punishes new players who don't know
better.
**Night Visor MOD changes**
This module is completely useless, nobody ever uses it, because it
conflicts with other vision modules, and it's completely redundant since
Thermal vision already comes packed with NV on their own.
**Complexity increase on the Nukie suits + T4 flashing protection
added**
The nukie suits have honestly quite limited complexity for the role they
are supposed to fill , the T4 flash protection missing from the suit is
unintended as we made any other MODsuit have T4 protection already, Moth
Nukies rejoice.
**Ear Protection on combat MODs (oh boy)**
Listen, as of right now we have a total of 2 counters for flashbangs, a
Bowman or being deaf.
A sealed, airtight suit shouldn't offer less protection against loud
noises than a mere headset.
baddies that usually pack these suits usually have a Bowman anyway,
Nukies have it, ninja can easily teleport into a sec outpost and get it,
it's a bit more tricky for traitor since they usually have to invest in
an emag to quickly take the set or kill a security officer.
At least now if you see a baddie roll up in a suit you no longer have to
play hypotheticals wheter your flashbang will work properly or not.
I also gave the ear protection to the RD mod despite it not being a
combat MOD, because frankly it made sense, it's a bomb proof armor, It
should also protect you from loud noises.

The suit has been rebalanced to offer a wide array of protections and
have the Shield charges regenerate overtime to a maximum of 5, and it no
longer has any slowdown.
You might also want to reconsider using this as crew....
"That's a lot of stuff Jake, won't this make the suit overpowered?"
You can bet your spessman arse it will, Wizard is not supposed to be a
balanced antagonist in any way shape or form, but an absolute force of
chaos.
Given how everything else in the game has been powercept over the Years,
we left this poor dude behind, it's time to address that.
**Energy Shield MOD changes**
I don't think the Shield should expire if no damage (or a pitiful amount
of) hits the bubble, these have already been nerfed to only have 1

MODsuit modules now render on the part they're attached to, that being
first part if required_slots is set, otherwise defaulting to the control
module. Instead of using icon ops and a cache, module masking (used by
armor boosters and insignias) will instead render the module on all
parts, each overlay alpha filtered using the worn piece as the mask. To
do this we also migrate modules to separate_worn_overlays, which fixes
the issue where they'd always get painted the same color as the back
piece, ignoring use_mod_colors's value (which is FALSE by default). So
now modules that inherit MOD's color like armor booster will be painted
accordingly to their piece.
This also means that modules actually layer properly, and don't go ontop
of items that they should be under.
Additionally, whenever gloves or boots overslot an item, the overslotted
item will still render underneath them if they're unsealed. Because it
looks weird when your gloves disappear when you extend your MODsuit
ones.
Look at that hip look, she'd have bare hands and ankles without this PR.

displaying overslotted item is just behavior you'd expect normally.

## About The Pull Request
MODsuit modules now render on the part they're attached to, that being
first part if required_slots is set, otherwise defaulting to the control
module. Instead of using icon ops and a cache, module masking (used by
armor boosters and insignias) will instead render the module on all
parts, each overlay alpha filtered using the worn piece as the mask. To
do this we also migrate modules to separate_worn_overlays, which fixes
the issue where they'd always get painted the same color as the back
piece, ignoring use_mod_colors's value (which is FALSE by default). So
now modules that inherit MOD's color like armor booster will be painted

## About The Pull Request
MODsuits now calculate their slowdown by querying modules by sending a
signal on themselves instead of having modules try and keep up with
control unit's speed updates (which broke in a fabulous fashion after
MODsuits were allowed to deploy by piece)
Also added a separate trait to prevent objects from being speed
potion-ed to combat stabilized red crossbreed issues, and removed a
duplicate list helper (40 lines down in the same file lol)
Closes#89979Closes#90036
## Changelog
🆑
fix: MODsuits should now be affected by stabilized red crossbreeds
fix: MODsuit slowdowns should no longer behave weirdly with ash
accretion/magboots/armor booster modules.
refactor: Refactored MODsuit slowdown calculations to be query-based
instead of modules directly modifying part speed values.

## About The Pull Request
Currently patches are a subtype of pills, and while they have the
``dissolveable`` var set to FALSE, barely anything checks it (because
people don't expect patches to be pills in disguise) so we end up
patches being dissolveable and implantable, which is far from ideal.
Both have been moved into an ``/obj/item/reagent_containers/applicator``
class, which handles their common logic and helps handling cases where
either one fits. As for gameplay changes:
* Pills no longer dissolve instantly, instead adding their contents to
your stomach after 3 seconds (by default). You can increase the timer by
dropping sugar onto them to thicken their coating, 1s per 1u applied, up
to a full minute. Coating can also be dissolved with water, similarly
-1s per 1u applied. Pills with no coating will work like before.
* Patches now only take half as long to apply (1.5s), but also slowly
trickle in their reagents instead of instantly applying all of them.
This is done via embedding so you could theoretically (if you get lucky)
stick a ranged patch at someone, although they are rather quick to rip
off. The implementation and idea itself are separate, but the idea for
having a visual display has been taken from
https://github.com/Monkestation/Monkestation2.0/pull/2558.
* In order to support the new pill mechanics, stomachs have received
contents. Pills and items that you accidentally swallow now go into your
stomach instead of your chest cavity, and may damage it if they're
sharp, requiring having them surgically cut out (cut the stomach open
with a scalpel, then cauterize it to mend the incision). Or maybe you
can get a bacchus's blessing, or a geneticist hulk to gut punch you,
that may also work. Alien devour ability also uses this system now. If
you get a critical slashing wound on your chest contents of your cut
apart stomach (if a surgeon forgot to mend it, or if you ate too much
glass shard for breakfast) may fall out. However, spacemen with the
strong stomach trait can eat as much glass cereal as they want.
Pill duration can also be chosen in ChemMaster when you have a pill
selected, 0 to 30 seconds.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Patches and pills are extremely similar in their implemenation, former
being a worse version of sprays and pills, with only change being that
pills cannot be applied through helmets while patches and sprays ignore
both. This change makes them useful for separate cases, and allows
reenactment of some classic... movie, scenes, with the pill change. As
for stomach contents, this was probably the sanest way of implementing
pill handling, and everything else (item swallowing and cutting stomachs
open to remove a cyanide pill someone ate before it dissolves) kind of
snowballed from there. I pray to whatever gods that are out there that
this won't have some extremely absurd and cursed interactions (it
probably will).
## Changelog
🆑
add: Instead of dissolving instantly, pills now activate after 4
seconds. This timer can be increased by using a dropper filled with
sugar on them, 1s added per 1u dropped.
add: Patches now stick to you and slowly bleed their reagents, instead
of being strictly inferior to both pills and sprays.
add: Items that you accidentally swallow now go into your stomach
contents.
refactor: Patches are no longer considered pills by the game
refactor: All stomachs now have contents, instead of it being exclusive
to aliens. You can cut open a stomach to empty it with a scalpel, and
mend an existing incision with a cautery.

## About The Pull Request
MODSuits now slow you progressively as parts are deployed, and not at
all when no parts are deployed.
Previous to this change MODsuits would slow you _more_ for having a part
not deployed than for having it deployed and powered, meaning you would
be slower using it as a backpack than you would be when using it as a
suit. This leads to people typically taking it off entirely and holding
it in their hands instead of wearing it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
We talked about this in the coderbus meeting and the general reasoning
is;
- We want people to use MODsuits for the utility they provide. It's good
when people think these items are desirable and ask the roboticist to
make one for them.
- MODsuits being slower when unpowered makes sense but is _mostly_ just
that way for flavour reasons.
- Moving slower is (perhaps unintuitively?) one of the strongest
detriments we have in the game for using something.
- MODsuits when used as backpacks are _already_ worse than a standard
backpack (less storage space unless complexity is dedicated to increase
it again) and it's not necessarily clear that they need an additional
downside.
- It feels odd to be penalised _more_ strongly penalised when just
wearing a backpack and not benefiting from any utility aspect of the
suit than you are when actively benefiting from having the suit.
- It also feels odd to be penalised at all for having it while not
benefiting from it.
- The fact that they have a deployment time already reduces their
effectiveness in terms of being "snapped" on and off in response to loss
of atmosphere.
- The "juggling" behaviour that players resort to when they can't just
wear their suit as a backpack (swapping between a held backpack and a
held modsuit control with keybindings) is the kind of powergaming trick
I don't really like but is reasonably easy to do in order to bypass the
downside anyway, removing this removes any need to train players to do
this.
- Personally I feel that if people are wearing their MODsuit undeployed
while wandering around the station that's actually preferable to me than
if they had it deployed full-time, which is what they are more likely to
be doing if leaving it undeployed makes them slower (even if the
undeployed speed was the same as the deployed speed). At that point,
they might as well simply have it powered in order to benefit from being
atmospherics-proof and deal with having to charge it every so often.
**Doesn't this just make a MODsuit into a better backpack?**
No, it has lower capacity.
A standard MODsuit storage has a max weight capacity of 15 split across
up to 7 items.
A regular backpack has a max weight capacity of 21 split across up to 21
items (significantly more granularity).
**Won't this make people wear MODsuits all the time?**
Apart from ones that you get with your job, the Roboticist only starts
with a handful of mod cores to make more suits out of.
If we achieved even 1/3rd crew saturation on a busy round that would
mean a significant use of cargo to acquire more cores, which is a design
goal. I think the idea that it would reach total crew saturation is
basically unthinkable, we already limit the number of suits that can
exist at once via cargo.
Also, most suits with good utility _still_ make you slower _when
deployed_ so any time you are actually benefiting from its utility you
are experiencing a drawback.

## About The Pull Request
generally cleans up the code a bit. fixes the issue where if you had
clothing on yourself already and you tried extending when active it
still went through the sealing process even though it didnt extend the
part, causing weird desyncs. fixes the issues with part enabled modules
that would not activate, makes stealth and radproof modules require the
whole suit to be out cause thinking about it they wouldnt really work
without that i think
reverts quick activation to try put parts on you instead of removing
them as priority, i think that plays nicer with separate part activation
fixes#87413
## About The Pull Request

in order to use a module it needs its required part deployed, eg
magnetic attachment = boots needed
passive effects from a module dont work unless the relevant parts are
deployed

* Buff to MODsuit deployment time (#85705)
## About The Pull Request
Before it took 12 seconds to fully deploy (2 seconds per part) so it's
just an awkward standing around moment while you wait for your MOD to
activate in front of the airlock.
- Increased speed of MODsuit deploy time by 2 times
- Increased speed of infiltrator MODsuit deploy time by 4 times
## Why It's Good For The Game
One of the reasons why so many players are deterred from MODsuits is how
long the deployment or undeployment takes.
This change should increase the desire for players to use MODsuits and
will raise their value, giving more incentive to produce more, which
roboticists barely ever do.
The infiltrator MODsuit is supposed to be a sneaky sleek and quick
(infiltrating) device, allowing you to quickly disguise your identity
and then quickly become inconspicuous. This change allows it to execute
that purpose better.

## About The Pull Request
Slightly slimmed down the helmet, changed belt into plates, recolored
brown parts to blue and added a few more glowy bits to the mining
MODsuit.
Here's what it looks like currently
Mining MODsuit now hides belts, has THICKMATERIAL while active and got
large capacity storage. Eating apparatus no longer has an on-person
sprite. Adjusted drill module active sprite to actually fit on your hand
instead of being slightly to the side.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Currently the MOD looks a bit goofy, I tried making it a bit more
streamlined without removing the bulk and look of a reinforced explorer
exosuit. Belts are hidden for the sake of visuals, as almost all miners
wear riggings which do not fit with the MOD spritework at all. While
inactive it has THICKMATERIAL but for some reason loses it when
activated, which doesn't make much sense. Its a thick, armored
spacesuit.
Eating apparatus isn't a module that people around you need to be
acutely aware of, nor did it look particularly good. I tried respriting
it but there's not much to be done with 12 pixels worth of space.
Large storage is a rather impactful change - currently only loader and
advanced (CE's personal) MODs have it, and more can be printed after
researching advanced engineering MODsuit designs (from my experience,
usually done by ~40 minute mark). Storage space is a very important
aspect, and mining MODs already have high competition with ash drake and
H.E.C.K. armors. Having less storage makes them a weird sidegrade,
arguably even a downgrade, to roundstart explorer gear that has been
upgraded with plates; its only real advantage is being able to pass
through lava and freeing a pocket previously occupied by your ore
satchel due to arcmining nerfing its main purpose (ore mining). While
this still is technically worse than roundstart backpacks, this should
allow them compete with with other equipment in terms of usability.
