## About The Pull Request
Adds bloodroaches.
These are cockroaches that have gorged themselves on blood in
maintenance. They're very gross!
Splatting one causes an explosion of blood all around the death
perimeter, splashing both turfs and mobs with blood.
They have a 1% chance of spawning in place of normal roaches.
They also spawn in:
- Abandoned crates, replacing the 30 roaches with 30 bloodroaches.
- As backup anomalous crystal possession targets.
- Grimy fridges
Added a trait given to things killed by pest spray, used to check on
death explosion for bloodroaches.
Changed roach spawns in maps to use mob spawners, so I can replace them
with bloodroaches 1% of the time.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Splatting a random roach in maintenance that explodes into blood sounds
hilarious. It also adds janitorial depth by requiring pest spray to
carefully eliminate these pests
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added bloodroaches, a rare variant of cockroaches that explode into
a shower of blood when squashed.

## About The Pull Request
This has the potential to create a lot of needless mob updates which is
not great. Now should only update a mob's clothing if it was actually
washed.
This PR
1) ensures that all wash() procs return a bitflag.
2) ensures that `wash()` proccalls which result in expensive operations
like icon updates only do so when it is necessary
## Why It's Good For The Game
Updating mob sprites is expensive, and doing it when nothing has been
changed is bad.

Nothing really player facing
My original plan was to just implement materials into crafting so that
items would inherit the materials of their components, allowing for some
interesting stuff if the material flags of the item allow it. However to
my dismay crafting is a pile of old tech debt, starting from the old
`del_reqs` and `CheckParts` which still contain lines about old janky
bandaids that are no longer in use nor reachable, up to the
`customizable_reagent_holder` component which has some harddel issues
when your custom food is sliced, and items used in food recipes not
being deleted and instead stored inside the result with no purpose as
well as other inconsistencies like stack recipes that transfer materials
having counterparts in the UI that don't do that.
EDIT: Several things have come up while working on this, so I apologise
that it ended up changing over 100+ files. I managed to atomize some of
the changes, but it's a bit tedious.
EDIT: TLDR because I was told this section is too vague and there's too
much going on. This PR:
- Improves the dated crafting code (not the UI).
- replaced `atom/CheckParts` and `crafting_recipe/on_craft_completion`
with `atom/on_craft_completion`.
- Reqs used in food recipes are now deleted by default and not stored
inside the result (they did nothing).
- Renames the customizable_reagent_holder comp and improves it (No
harddels/ref issues).
- Adds a unit test that tries to craft all recipes to see what's wrong
(it skips some of the much more specific reqs for now).
- In the unit test is also the code to make sure materials of the
crafted item and a non-crafted item of the same type are roughly the
same, so far only applied to food.
- Some mild material/food refactoring around the fact that food item
code has been changed to support materials.
Improving the backbone of the crafting system. Also materials and food
code.

Refactors most of blood handling code untouched by #90593 and completely
rewrites all blood decals, components and reagents.
- Blood types now have behavioral flags which allow them to control
where they leave decals/DNA/viruses. Oil no longer transfers DNA and
viruses with it, while podpeople water-blood doesn't leave visible
decals on turfs and items, but still can be picked up by DNA scanners.
- Multiple blood types have received unique handling - liquid
electricity blood now glows in the dark, oil trails are flammable and
lube ones are slippery. Oil blood can be restored with fuel, lube with
silicon and slime with stable plasma (as normal plasma already passively
regenerates their blood), instead of everything using iron. Saline
solution only supplements on iron-based blood and won't do anything to
help with bloodloss for species who rely on different blood types.
(Roundstart this applies only to Ethereals)
- All blood logic has been moved away from the blood reagent itself into
a blood element that is assigned to the blood reagent by default, and to
any reagent that's drawn from a mob as their "blood" (in
``transfer_blood_to``). This means that blood you draw from lizards will
be green and have lizard's blood description instead of mentioning red
blood cells, Ethereal "blood" will actually contain their DNA and genes,
etc.
- Refactored all blood decals. Blood states are no more, everything is
now handled via blood DNA. Credits to MrMelbert and Maplestation, as a
significant amount of code has been taken from
https://github.com/MrMelbert/MapleStationCode/pull/436 and many of his
followup PRs. Oil and xenomorph splatters are now subtypes of blood,
blood drying is now animated, blood trails now curve and can be
diagonal.
- Rewrote bloodysoles and bloody_spreader components, credits to Melbert
again for the former, while latter now makes more sense with its
interactions. Bloody soles no longer share blood DNA with your hands.
- Ported Melbert's bloody footprint sprites and bot-blood-spreading
functionality.
- Removed all species-side reagent interactions, instead they're handled
by said species' livers. (This previously included exotic blood
handling, thus the removal)
- Slightly optimized human rendering by removing inbetween overlay
holders for clothing when they're not needed.
- Blood-transmitted diseases will now get added to many more decals than
before.
- Cleaned up and partially refactored replica pods, fixed an issue where
monkeys/manipulators were unable to harvest mindless pods.
- Exotic bloodtype on species now automatically assigns their blood
reagent, without the need to assign them separately.
- Clown mobs now bleed (with colorful reagent instead of blood during
april fools), and so do vatbeasts (lizard blood)
- Implemented generic procs for handling bleeding checks, all sorts of
scanners now also correctly call your blood for what it is.
- Podpeople's guts are now lime-green like their organs, instead of
being weirdly greyish like their water-blood. (Their bleeding overlays
are still grey, as they're bleeding water)
- Slimepeople now can bleed. Their jelly is pale purple in color, but
their wound overlays copy their body color.
- Injecting/spraying/splashing/etc mob with a reagent preserves its
data, so you could theoretically recycle fine wines from someone's
bloodstream
- Fixed burdened chaplain's sect never actually giving a blessing when
applying effects, and giving a blessing when nothing can be healed.
Inverted check strikes again.
- Closes#91039
A lot of blood here has dried, visually the blood colors are almost
exactly the same as before either of the blood refactors.
Prettier (an auto formatter) is set to only run within the tgui folder
currently. This removes that limitation, allowing it to automatically
format all supported files in the repo (.js, .html, .yml
[etc](https://prettier.io/docs/))
I made a few exceptions for bundled and generated files
I'm of the opinion that code should look uniform and am lazy enough to
want CTRL-S to format files without having to think beyond that

Revival of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/86482, which is
even more doable now that we have rustg iconforge generation.
What this PR does:
- Sets up every single GAGS icon in the game to have their own preview
icon autogenerated during compile. This is configurable to not run
during live. The icons are created in `icons/map_icons/..`
- This also has the side effect of providing accurate GAGS icons for
things like the loadout menu. No more having to create your own
previews.
<details><summary>Mappers rejoice!</summary>
</details>
<details><summary>Uses iconforge so it does not take up much time during
init</summary>
</details>

this still applies:
Note for Spriters:
After you've assigned the correct values to vars, you must run the game
through init on your local machine and commit the changes to the map
icon dmi files. Unit tests should catch all cases of forgetting to
assign the correct vars, or not running through init.
Note for Server Operators:
In order to not generate these icons on live I've added a new config
entry which should be disabled on live called GENERATE_ASSETS_IN_INIT in
the config.txt
No more error icons in SDMM and loadout.

refactor: preview icons for greyscale items are now automatically
generated, meaning you can see GAGS as they actually appear ingame while
mapping or viewing the loadout menu.

Melee attack chain now has a list passed along with it,
`attack_modifiers`, which you can stick force modifiers to change the
resulting attack
This is basically a soft implementation of damage packets until a more
definitive pr, but one that only applies to item attack chain, and not
unarmed attacks.
This change was done to facilitate a baton refactor - batons no longer
hack together their own attack chain, and are now integrated straight
into the real attack chain. This refactor itself was done because batons
don't send any attack signals, which has been annoying in the past (for
swing combat).
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Batons have been refactored again. Baton stuns now properly
count as an attack, when before it was a nothing. Report any oddities,
particularly in regards to harmbatonning vs normal batonning.
refactor: The method of adjusting item damage mid-attack has been
refactored - some affected items include the Nullblade and knives.
Report any strange happenings with damage numbers.
refactor: A few objects have been moved to the new interaction chain -
records consoles, mawed crucible, alien weeds and space vines, hedges,
restaurant portals, and some mobs - to name a few.
fix: Spears only deal bonus damage against secure lockers, not all
closet types (including crates)

## About The Pull Request
This PR includes a number of fixes, buffs and improvements to the clown
mobs to make them more playable and worthwhile.
### Atmos tolerance buffs
This PR removes the insane unsuitable atmos and temperature damage clown
mobs used to take and bring it in line with other mobs.
In addition, clownanas can tolerate lower oxygen levels and are immune
to carbon dioxide due to their half plant biology.
### Movement speed changes
A lot of these mobs were previously unviable due to their slow speed,
one of the most important stats.
This problem will only get worse for basic mobs if the proposed basic
mob stamina changes get implemented.
Most of them are still slower than humans but now have some chance to
corner a human in some circumstances.
(I plan to add more ways to modify basic mob run speed in the future to
help with this.)
The flesh clown and honkling are now fast again, I remember the original
speed nerf of fleshclown upset the very few fleshclown enjoyers once i
PR'd in the initial balance pass years back.
### Glutton buffs
The banana glutton is now given a mechanical incentive to eat lots of
foods to nudge them into good RP.
They heal for every item and gain max health every 5 items eaten!
The banana glutton can now smash doors.
They can now prank the crew with ink sacs should they find them.
### Biotype update
Clownana has gained the plant biotype.
Living lube has gained the slime biotype.
### cell lines & samples
clownana and longface; the two other clown cell lines now have samples
associated with them and can be biopsied to create pure samples of each
cell line.
The clownana banana bunch can also be swabbed for the pure clownana cell
line!
### death drop changes
The death drop element now spreads the items out slightly instead of
stacking lots of drops in the center of the tile.
Clown mobs now drop less soap and more peels, with some of the rarer
ones dropping mimana, bluespace or gros michel peels.
The clownana now has a chance to drop full bananas or even a full banana
bunch.
The banana glutton has a chance to drop a heart of freedom.
The flesh clown now drops a meatclown instead of soap, and a piece of
human skin instead of a bloated human suit.
### other stat changes
living lube is now highly resistant to brute damage
longface can now acutally fight a little bit, still kinda terrible
though.
## Why It's Good For The Game
These mobs are quite beloved but their level of playability is low due
to poor balance.
The main problem is atmos.
Even a whiff of bad atmos would gib these mobs before they could get to
safety.
Many of them had their speed set way too high or way too low when they
were first added, even after i adjusted their speeds years ago I was
being too conservative.
Their loot tables were too similar, this helps with that a little bit. A
couple of them might even be worthwhile farming for their drops in
certain niche situations!
The banana glutton has such a cool sprite but has been neglected
mechanically, this helps make him a little more worthwhile and the extra
obj damage helps him not be in that sucky place where he is too large to
vent crawl and not powerful enough to break down doors.
Ideally in the future we should probably be more restrictive with
allowing mobs to smash airlocks and give them another way of opening
doors via armblade -like prying or ID implants.
## Changelog
🆑
add: banana gluttons gain max health and heal by eating foods! And they
can smash doors.
balance: clown mobs no longer get nuked by bad atmos.
balance: blown mobs have new death drops.
balance: most clown more are now faster!
balance: clownanas are now plants and are immune to carbon dioxide.
balance: living lube is now a slime and highly brute resistant.
balance: longfaces now hit decently hard.
fix: clownanas and longfaces can now be biopsied.

## About The Pull Request
When using the `map_export` admin verb the following things are fixed:
- All objects density, anchored, opacity, atom_integrity, and
resistance_flags vars are saved
- Multi-tile objects being spammed on all tiles the sprite reaches
- Dirt decals error icon
- Airlocks error icon and to save welded state
- Dark Wizard Simple Mobs error icon
- Closets to save welded, open, and locked states
- Air alarms to save name
- Air scrubbers/vents to save name and welded states
- APCs to save name, charge, cell, lighting, equipment, and
environmental states
- APCs spawning a duplicated terminal underneath it when one already
exists
- SMES to save charge, input, and output states
- Holodecks to revert any holodeck turfs to the empty turf and skip
saving any hologram items
- Photos and Paintings error icons
- Bloody Footprints error icons
- False Walls error icons
- Docking Ports runtimes because the map template var would change
- Effects (lasers, portals, beams, sparks, etc.) saving when they should
be omitted
I would have loved to get `component_parts` to save for machines and
turf decals, but perhaps that is for another day since it requires
complicated solutions.
Here are some before and after pictures:

- Damp rag is now no longer god's perfect cleaning tool. After blood,
the damp rag will collect it, and after cleaning a lot of blood, you can
no longer clean with the rag until you wash it in a sink (or with
cleaner or however you want)
- This means the rag will collect DNA in it as you clean, which gives
detectives an opportunity to investigate.
- It also means the DNA it collects will occasionally spread onto you,
meaning you will have to clean your gloves or hands.
- Cleaning vomit and such is (currently) unaffected (and does not dirty
the rag).
- Diseases are not currently transferred to the rag (but this would be
fun to add)
- Gauze now gets dirty when using it to wrap bleeding wounds. This is
just visual, though blood DNA gets transferred. It can be washed in a
sink.
- Removed gauze on sink / cloth on sink interaction.
- Can't really wash gauze with it, plus it's redundant.
- Damp rag is no longer a cup.
Damp rag is just "soap without any downsides", which is kinda lame.
I thought about going a step further and making it require you wet it
first but then it just becomes "mop but small" which is also lame.
Instead, you're required to clean it, which gives janitors / crewmembers
an alternate cleaning method:
- Soap: Small, finite, limited. Can't be replenished.
- Cleaner: Small, finite, even more limited, ranged. Can be refilled
with chemistry's help.
- Mop: Large, infinite, limited. Needs a water bucket.
- Damp Rag: Small, infinite, limited. Need to clean it after a few goes.
🆑 Melbert
balance: Damp Rags can now get dirty when using them to clean blood,
passing blood DNA along.
add: Gauze now gets dirty when apply it to actively bleeding wounds.
Doesn't spread disease or anything, just passes blood DNA. It can be
cleaned in a sink.
del: Removed cloth on sink / gauze on sink interaction to make rags.

These mobs are quite beloved but their level of playability is low due
to poor balance.
The main problem is atmos.
Even a whiff of bad atmos would gib these mobs before they could get to
safety.
Many of them had their speed set way too high or way too low when they
were first added, even after i adjusted their speeds years ago I was
being too conservative.
Their loot tables were too similar, this helps with that a little bit. A
couple of them might even be worthwhile farming for their drops in
certain niche situations!
The banana glutton has such a cool sprite but has been neglected
mechanically, this helps make him a little more worthwhile and the extra
obj damage helps him not be in that sucky place where he is too large to
vent crawl and not powerful enough to break down doors.
Ideally in the future we should probably be more restrictive with
allowing mobs to smash airlocks and give them another way of opening
doors via armblade -like prying or ID implants.
## Changelog
🆑
add: banana gluttons gain max health and heal by eating foods! And they
can smash doors.
balance: clown mobs no longer get nuked by bad atmos.
balance: blown mobs have new death drops.
balance: most clown more are now faster!
balance: clownanas are now plants and are immune to carbon dioxide.
balance: living lube is now a slime and highly brute resistant.
balance: longfaces now hit decently hard.
fix: clownanas and longfaces can now be biopsied.

## About The Pull Request
When using the `map_export` admin verb the following things are fixed:
- All objects density, anchored, opacity, atom_integrity, and
resistance_flags vars are saved
- Multi-tile objects being spammed on all tiles the sprite reaches
- Dirt decals error icon
- Airlocks error icon and to save welded state
- Dark Wizard Simple Mobs error icon
- Closets to save welded, open, and locked states
- Air alarms to save name
- Air scrubbers/vents to save name and welded states
- APCs to save name, charge, cell, lighting, equipment, and
environmental states
- APCs spawning a duplicated terminal underneath it when one already
exists
- SMES to save charge, input, and output states
- Holodecks to revert any holodeck turfs to the empty turf and skip
saving any hologram items
- Photos and Paintings error icons
- Bloody Footprints error icons
- False Walls error icons
- Docking Ports runtimes because the map template var would change
- Effects (lasers, portals, beams, sparks, etc.) saving when they should
be omitted
I would have loved to get `component_parts` to save for machines and
turf decals, but perhaps that is for another day since it requires
complicated solutions.
Here are some before and after pictures:

## About The Pull Request
- Damp rag is now no longer god's perfect cleaning tool. After blood,
the damp rag will collect it, and after cleaning a lot of blood, you can
no longer clean with the rag until you wash it in a sink (or with
cleaner or however you want)
- This means the rag will collect DNA in it as you clean, which gives
detectives an opportunity to investigate.
- It also means the DNA it collects will occasionally spread onto you,
meaning you will have to clean your gloves or hands.
- Cleaning vomit and such is (currently) unaffected (and does not dirty
the rag).
- Diseases are not currently transferred to the rag (but this would be
fun to add)
- Gauze now gets dirty when using it to wrap bleeding wounds. This is
just visual, though blood DNA gets transferred. It can be washed in a
sink.
- Removed gauze on sink / cloth on sink interaction.
- Can't really wash gauze with it, plus it's redundant.
- Damp rag is no longer a cup.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Damp rag is just "soap without any downsides", which is kinda lame.
I thought about going a step further and making it require you wet it
first but then it just becomes "mop but small" which is also lame.
Instead, you're required to clean it, which gives janitors / crewmembers
an alternate cleaning method:
- Soap: Small, finite, limited. Can't be replenished.
- Cleaner: Small, finite, even more limited, ranged. Can be refilled
with chemistry's help.
- Mop: Large, infinite, limited. Needs a water bucket.
- Damp Rag: Small, infinite, limited. Need to clean it after a few goes.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
balance: Damp Rags can now get dirty when using them to clean blood,
passing blood DNA along.
add: Gauze now gets dirty when apply it to actively bleeding wounds.
Doesn't spread disease or anything, just passes blood DNA. It can be
cleaned in a sink.
del: Removed cloth on sink / gauze on sink interaction to make rags.
Just use the crafting menu

## About The Pull Request
Since #90505 added another entry to it the Regal Rat Riot ability, which
turns maintenance creatures into versions loyal to the rat, has become
sort of unmanageable (and to be honest it was a bit gross to start
with).
Instead of having a big if/else list (which was making the same range
check multiple times...) that sets stats on a bunch of mobs, I delegated
it to the mobs themselves and instead of changing some stats of the
existing mobs we just turn them into a new mob which can be spawned or
placed separately by mappers or admins if they want.
Other stuff I changed:
Riot (the ability which transforms mobs into minions) no longer spawns a
mouse if it fails to find anything. Instead you have a chance to fish
mice out of disposals bins while digging out trash and items.
Domain is now a toggle which activates itself every 6 seconds rather
than a button you manually click every 6 seconds.
Riot makes a visual effect when used.
Rare Pepe randomisation is done via a random spawner instead of the mob
modifying a bunch of its own properties in Initialise.
A bunch of mobs now automatically follow you after being tamed. I wrote
this assuming I was going to add it to the rioted mobs but then didn't
end up doing that because you might want them to immediately attack
someone.
My rule of thumb is that if I think you'd want the mob to attack someone
the moment it is befriended I didn't add this and if you wouldn't I did.
I changed some of the regal rat minion names, and some of them can now
spawn from gold slime which couldn't before.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This proc sucked and now it's nicer.
As for the other changes;
- A tamed mob immediately following you is nice feedback and saves you a
click as it's likely to be your first action. Also removes some admin
panel shitcode I added.
- I changed Domain to a toggle because you generally want to use it on
cooldown and someone suggested it on this PR and it sounded like a good
idea.
- I saw someone in Discord complaining that the previous flow of
recruiting rats by hitting Riot with nothing around to summon one,
waiting, hitting it again to convert one rat, and waiting again was
tedious and annoying which I agree with.
This method improves the quality of life by separating these two actions
but _also_ as a side effect reduces a regal rat's ability to secretly
stockpile 50 rats in a hidden maintenance room because most disposal
bins are in slightly more visible areas, they'll actually need to go and
make a mess somewhere someone can see them.
## Changelog

balance: Regal Rats can now grab mice out of disposal bins, and no

tamed.

slime reaction.

adds snails to the game
these are harmless critters you can find in maints. they love eating all

you can also pick them up and put them on your head.
finally, you can also grab them and put them in hydrotrays (they will

## About The Pull Request
This PR:
- Converts all of the blood types into their own datums, which can be
set up to have their own colors, descriptions, and other fun unique
properties. For example, the clown blood that is constantly randomizing
itself.
- Converts all the blood decals into greyscale, which in turn eliminates
the need for separate xeno sprites. They both use the same ones now.
- Audit of blood splatters/gibs/bodyparts/organs to make sure that they
are getting the correct forensic data applied to them.
- For the admins: Adds a clown blood smite.
My primary goal with was to make the appearance of the new sprites look
almost indistinguishable to the original ones.
I consider this a "first pass", as in there are still some further
refactors I would like to do on the backend side, but am satisfied with
it enough to push it forward as a first step towards a better blood
system! I didn't want to do too much at once because of A) fatigue and
B) easier to test things to make sure I'm not breaking something
important this way.
This has been test-merged on Nova for over a week now and has been going
great, so I finally got around to upstreaming the bones to TG. Although
I did test it a bit you may want to TM it just in case I missed some
things when copying it over.
- Closes#90704
The following changes were implemented for this
- Moved sending signals `COMSIG_MOVABLE_TELEPORTING` &
`COMSIG_ATOM_INTERCEPT_TELEPORTING` from `check_teleport_valid` into
`do_teleport`. These 2 signals were causing all the side effects
- Removed signals `COMSIG_ATOM_INTERCEPT_TELEPORTED` &
`COMSIG_MOVABLE_TELEPORTED` as the above 2 signals can do their jobs &
block the teleport if needed so these signals became obsolete
- Removed define `COMPONENT_BLOCK_TELEPORT` in favour of returning a
positive value if teleport was successfully blocked. Having 2 signals
located in 2 separate files use this same define doesn't look great.

code: cleans up teleportation code. `check_teleport_valid` is now a pure
function with no side effects

took about a couple dozen lines of code to make...
...Oh, did the 527 files changed or the 850~ lines added/removed perhaps
catch your eye? Made you wonder if I accidentally pushed the wrong
branch? or skewed something up big time? Well, nuh uh. I just happen to
be fed up with the melee attack chain still using stringized params
instead of an array/list. It was frankly revolting to see how I'd have
had to otherwise call `list2params` for what I'm trying to accomplish
here, and make this PR another tessera to the immense stupidity of our
attack chain procs calling `params2list` over and over and over instead
of just using that one call instance from `ClickOn` as an argument. It's
2025, honey, wake up!
I also tried to replace some of those single letter vars/args but there
are just way too many of them.
Improving old code. And I want to be able to pet mobroaches while
holding them too.

## About The Pull Request
### Kronkus vine buffs:
Kronkus seeds are now three times as common.
The Kronkus vine has a greatly increased endurance stat(10->40) so it
does not die on you while you run around gathering ingredients and
matures quicker (8->6)
### Kronkaine buffs:
* The instant stamina boost restores **double stamina**(12 per u) when
injected or smoked.
* Now also restores stamina over time based on volume: **0.08 stamina
per unit each cycle**.
* Heart damage from kronkaine is now also dose dependant, overdose
damage has been adjusted to account for this.
* Reaction requires less ammonia(5->3u) and welding fuel(10->5u).
* Added an alternate reaction that uses lye instead of ammonia, also
takes 3u.
* Added some new drug messages for when using these optimized methods of
administration.
* Reworked how the anti-purging mechanic works, now it only punishes you
with adrenal fatigue while you take >30 stamina damage while trying to
purge. This makes life saving OD treatment less annoying, but still
prevents abuse mid combat in a more elegant way.
The amount of heart damage inflicted is much lower if used at low doses,
the same as before at 20u and greater if more than 20u is administered.
The heart damage formula is : **0.1 + 0.04 * volume (+0.5 if overdosed)
damage per cycle**.
It should work out to something like a 27.5u lethal dose with a pristine
heart.
### Kronkus extract buffs:
Lasts twice as long.
More heart damage per cycle 0.1 -> 0.2. This value is still pretty
modest.
UPDATE: I had previously buffed the stamina regen of this reagent, but
now kronkaine itself has stamina regen per cycle.
#### Technical changes:
proc/copy_to can now trigger on_transfer and pass exposure methoid if
the new copy_method parameter is set.
This enables sources that use copy_to like smoke clouds to trigger
INHALE dependent effects like the new kronkaine enhancement.
Infinite hyposprays now also have the inject method like normal
hyposprays.
These two were the only two cases where reagents where reagents were
added to a mob using copy_to.
#### Fixes:
kronkus extracts heart damage now uses seconds_per_tick.
## Why It's Good For The Game
After surveying the available discussion on the subject, the kronkaine
drug itself seems to be generally well received.
However the rarity of the seed and the arcane preparation method has
limited player engagement with the mechanic.
There is confusion regarding both the preparation and, especially
regarding how the stamina restoring effect works.
This PR seeks to make things a little smoother and more pleasant without
making a rare thing into a trivial thing,.
Players seems to mostly use the action speed part of kronkaine so I have
massively buffed the stamina restoration part in a flavourful way to
encourage more types of players to plant the seeds should they find
them.
Over time more and more stuff have been added to the maintenance loot
spawn lists which have diluted the spawn chance of the seed packet which
contributes to the problem.
This PR increases the weight from 1 -> 3.
## Changelog
🆑

ammonia.

heart damage(0.1->0.2)

40) and matures a bit quicker.
tweak: kronkaine now warns the user more if it is about to kill your
heart.
fix: kronkus extract now inflicts heart damage correctly.
