## About The Pull Request
Because fish is an item, it inherits the use of integrity from objects,
however it also has its own health variable. For consistency, ~~damaging
its integrity should also lower its health and healing it should also
recover its integrity. Fish has a max integrity that's double its
health.
I've also renamed `adjust_health` to `set_health` since it doesn't
adjust the health by the provided value but sets it to said value.~~
I've scrapped the latter to instead use integrity.
## Why It's Good For The Game
A small bit of consistency. If you shoot a fish with a laser gun,
wouldn't it die?

## About The Pull Request
https://github.com/SpaceManiac/SpacemanDMM/pull/435 added a new
dreamchecker lint, for SDMM `set` statements not at the top of the proc.
While this lint isn't in the current SDMM _release_, I was testing it
out earlier and saw these issues, so might as well fix them before they
even become an issue.
i also fixed a useless variable in moon heretic code that was right next
to the incorrectly placed `SIGNAL_HANDLER`

## About The Pull Request
Aquarium kits can now be printed from service, cargo, science
protolathes and the autolathe too, from half a sheet of metal. You still
need the other materials to set it up but it should be fairy simple if
you can access a proto/autolathe.
The 'Growth/Reproduction' setting for aquariums has been renamed to
"Safe Mode", which, on top of disabling features such as growth,
reproduction, evolution, power generation etc etc, will also disable the
water, temperature and food requirements for keeping the fish alive.
Useful if you want a purely ornamental aquarium or you have to skidaddle
somewhere else for a while.
The lawyer, as well as prefilled aquariums start with 'Safe Mode'
enabled.
The 'Aggressive' fish trait has been replaced with 'Territorial', which
is exactly the same but the fish won't lash out unless the aquarium is
populated by five fishes or more. No more angelfish viciously attacking
the guppy and goldfish in prefilled aquariums.
Tweaked a couple values around hunger and fish health loss when starving
or in a bad environment to cause slightly less damage.
Lastly, added screentips to the aquarium component, which is something
I've forgot to do in the PR that brought it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Aquariums may be a complex feature, but as far as I can tell, I had been
neglecting the possibility of aquariums as simple room decoration for a
while (outside of the beauty-related mechanics), and the constant
maintenance (and perhaps a bit of knowhow) they require makes them awful
at that. Also, the "growth/reproduction" setting really didn't have a
reason to be before, since it didn't offer any tangible benifit to turn
it off, so I had to revamped it.
Also it's been proven by now that keeping aquariums as cargo-orderable
stuff is just bad.
As for the fish trait change, it just sucks to see the angelfish shank
the goldfish with no way to solve it other than removing the
hyper-aggressive killer fish from san diego fella.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Aquarium kits can now be printed from cargo, service, science
protolathes as well as the autolathe. They no longer have to be ordered
from cargo.
balance: Revamped the "Growth/Reproduction" setting for aquarium to
"Safe Mode", which also disables the food, temperature and water
requiremenets of aquariums, making it useful for purely decorative
aquariums.
balance: Replaced the "Aggressive" fish trait with "Territorial". No
more angelfish shanking the goldfish and guppy in prefilled aquariums
with less than 5 fishes.
qol: Added screentips to aquariums.

## About The Pull Request
I've been meaning to do this for some time. I need this for
portable/handheld aquariums/fishtanks to be possible. I'll sprite and
code them before I call this PR ready, however suggestions and code
reviews are welcome in the meantime.
Being a pretty heavy refactor, some things might break (we have more
than a few unit tests so perhaps not) while others, coincidentally,
might be fixed without me knowing. Anyway I'm sure this PR fixes
aquarium beauty, which wasn't really working to begin with because the
code was so fucking bad. Nothing really worth of a CL entry tho.
TODO:
- [x] handheld aquariums, craftable with a kit and little plastic or
buyable from the fun vendor ig.
- [x] an aquarium upgrade for handheld aquariums to bypass possible
restrictions.
- [x] update the beauty element to consider items, which shouldn't
contribute to the area beauty when held or otherwise not on a turf.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This should make handheld aquariums possible.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: refactored aquariums heavily. Please report any fishy bug.
add: Added portable/handheld fish tanks to the game. They can be crafted
with an aquarium kit and 5 sheets of plastic. While portable, they
cannot store fish that are too big or if there're too many already. This
restriction can be removed by using the new "bluespace fish tank kit"
techweb item.
map: Replaced the lawyer's stationary pet aquarium with a fish tank, so
you can carry McGill around.
balance: Reduced the iron cost of stationary aquariums a little.

## About The Pull Request
With this PR, I'm introducing fishing bluespace capsules to the game.
They can be found on the black market, but I'll get a couple more ways
to get them before it's ready.
Anyway, they're special bluespace capsules that spawn a fishing spot of
your choice. The fishing spot can be changed by alt-clicking the
capsule, and so far it has 5 choices, plus 2 locked behind emagging for
obvious reasons:
- Freshwater: pretty basic, you get freshwater fish from this.
- Saltwater: mainly saltwater fish.
- Tiziran: You get tiziran fish here, like the gunner jellyfish,
armorfish, needlefish, dwarves moonfish and the new, bigger zagoskian
moonfish. By the by, moonfish now periodically lay moonfish eggs, a
staple of lizardfolk cuisine.
- Ice fishing spot: A small ice turf with a hole dug in it; salmon,
arctic char, arctic chrabs and the bonemass (skeleton fish).
- Hot Spring: Somehow the new home to the ought-to-be-extinct
sacabambaspis. It also doubles as a better shower overall, with mild
healing on top of stamina recovery. Felinids still hate it though, and
won't benefit from the healing.
- Lava: A 2x2 square of pure lava. Requires an emag for obvious reasons.
- Plasma: Ditto, but it's plasma instead of lava.
As a sidenote, unlike standard shelter capsules, these require their
area to be clear of pipes and cables on top of the other requirements,
unless emagged. Obviously, I've done some changes to allow pipes and
cables to not be hidden by water turfs, though I'm still keeping these
reqs because I don't think these fishing spots would look great if
riddled with cables and pipes. I may remove this extra req later if it
proves to be a tad too tedious.
Also they don't knock you back when expanding.
Screenshot from a recent test (fixed the misplaced decal and tweaked a
few things since then):

## Why It's Good For The Game
The idea stems from how not all fishing spots aren't designed to be
accessible every round, which is fine, because we have the fish-porter
for that. However, even the fish-porter should have its limits in terms
of what it can provide by itself (linking is all fair and game), so I've
thought having something of a middle point would been neat, also as a
way to mess around with the station layout a bit, to empower the player
with a little extra "terraforming".
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added fishing bluespace capsules to the game, which can be used to
spawn a variety of fishing spots, from freshwater to tiziran sea to hot
springs, and also lava and plasma if emagged.
add: Added two new fish: the zagoskian moonfish and the sacabambaspis.
Moonfish will now periodically lay moonfish eggs.
map: The 'crashed pod' lavaland ruin now has a hot spring, and the
cursed hotspring on icemoon now has a plastic chair and a fishing
toolbox.

## About The Pull Request
This PR introduces three new fish that can be caught from deep fryers.
That's right, deep fryers are also fishing spots now. Is it silly? Yeah,
but this is more or less the reason I made a whole PR to make fish
edible. They've two gimmicks: one is that they're already fried, and
neither raw nor gorey and can be cut into nuggets. The other is that
they can evolve into the next type just by growing, no need of pairing
them with each other, starting from the 'fryish', then the 'fritterish'
(and its two variants: 'bernard-fish' and 'matthew-fish', big pun on the
english food company) and finally the 'nessie-fish' which is very rare
and big and you'd probably get 20 nuggets by cutting it alone.
Other than that, this PR adds a simple growth mechanic to fish, where
they get a bit larger each time they're fed. The gained size and weight
depends on several factors like hunger, their current size and weight
and how much until they hit the maximum cap of twice the initial size
and weight. This means bigger fish grow slowier, and it's better to feed
them once in a while but not every other second. Obviously size and
weight influence a lot of fish mechanics, so it's good to have a way to
increase these values outside of breeding RNG (which is very shallow).
TL;DR: Feed the fish once their hunger reaches 50% circa for maximum
growth.
Included in the PR are a few tidbits, like fixing a little mistake
around the 'picky eater' fish trait, more readable code around the
fish_growth component (unrelated to the aforementioned growth mechanic)
and hunger or adding the fish evolution datum for armored pikes (normal
pikes plus stinger trait, which I basically forgot to), and adjusting
how weight and size of offsprings is calculated.
## Why It's Good For The Game
First and foremost, a brand new on-station fishing spot that is not the
fishing portal, toilets (or the rare moisture traps in maint). Second, a
fish growth mechanic through which weight and size can be increased.
Third, a few code things. Four, little bugs, now fixed.
Fifth, have a screenshot of me fucking around to find out how many bites
it takes to eat all of the deepfried gargantuan nessie (53, and I had to
spawn another 10 humans to finish it):

## Changelog
🆑
add: You can now fish new, tasty treats by the station deep fryers.
add: You can now grow fish inside an aquarium by feeding them regularly
(at 50% hunger for maximum growth).
add: Added the evolution for pikes to armored pikes.

## About The Pull Request
I've come to realize manually updating all fishing stuff on the very
much outdated wiki would be a colossal pain in the rear, so I've decided
to automate a few bits to generate autowiki lists containing information
about fish, fish traits, bait, hooks, reels, fishng rods, fish sources
and fish experiments.
Now tested.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Making a huge autowiki for a feature that's being constantly updated (by
me) but still has a particularly lame and outdated page on the wiki.

## About The Pull Request
Right now, there are two ways to set the aquarium visual for fish. The
first is to make a small little blob of pixels representing the fish
inside the aquarium, and then set the fish' sprite_width/sprite_height
vars for that little blob of pixels. The second is to set the fish'
source_width/source_height representing the boundaries of the fish
original icon state and then sprite_width/sprite_height to get how much
the icon state will be resized when used as an aquarium visual.
So far so good, except we're only humans, and this sort of stuff can and
will confuse us and overall make the process of adding new fish more
complex. There are quite a few fish that don't have these vars set up in
the right way, so I've decided to butcher out the second method in favor
of the first one. Given the size of the aquarium icon states, this is a
pretty trivial task. Furthermore it works better for fish whose sprites
are coiled or snakey-looking (jumpercables and emulsijack) or on a
diagonal axis.
I've also added an unit test to ensure future contributions don't ever
forget to set the right vars and make an aquarium icon state.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Less confusion, and two less fish variables (they've over 40!).

## About The Pull Request
This PR mainly adds more fish and more fishing spots to the game, while
refactoring a few aspects of the fishing minigame.
Listing out with the new fish:
- Arctic char: mainly filler content for the ice hole fishing spot
- Sockeye Salmon: ditto but also provides better fillets that boost the
quality of resulting food items when cooked or used in recipes
- Soulfish: joke content, found by the cursed spring ruin
- Skin Crab: also a joke found by the cursed spring
- Bump-Fish: filler for the sand fishing spot
- Burrower Crab: ditto, reusing a fish sprite I made last year
- Sand Surfer: ditto
- Three-Eyed Goldfish: It's a reference, doh
- Stingray: A modestly weaponizable fish (whoops I've forgot to set the
hit sounds), it possess a few traits that make it deliver bits of venom
each time you hit someone with it
- Swordfish: Huge-ass fish that may require two hands to wield (or not,
if the RNG wants to make it smaller). Stats-wise, it's more or less the
equivalent of the captain sabre, if not stronger (and more unwieldy due
to size and weight). Becomes weaker when dead. Also gives better quality
fillets.
- Chainsawfish: A mutation of the goldfish with some size, weight and
traits requirements, but can also be found on emagged fishing portals.
Stronger than the swordfish, it behaves sort of like a chainsaw, with
the similar tool behaviour and var values. Also becomes weaker when
dead.
As for the fishing spots, you can now fish on sand turfs, at the cursed
springs or on ice. Rivers/jungle water now has its own fishing spot
datum, and no longer uses the generic fishing portal one. To fish on
ice, you first have to carve a hole with a pick or a shovel.
I've also refactored the fish "AI" hardcoded stuff used in the fishing
minigame into their own datums, which let me add a few fancier ways to
how the fish moves during the minigame (i.e. the soulfish moving at 1
FPS or the chainsawfish getting faster and faster).
As for the sword and chainsaw fish, their potential strength is balanced
out by the need of keeping them alive, as well as the potential
cumbersomeness, two-handed wielding and potential slowdown from the
excessive weight of the fish (Thank you Big Slappy for the inspiration).
Other minor changes include: Pufferfish giving better quality fillets
(too bad they're poisonous, I'll go and make a skillchip to let cooks
safely separate the poisonous liver from the fillets); McGill The
lawyer's goldfish) having a 15% of being three-eyed; the aforementioned
slowdown from fish weight and two-handed carry from fish size; a couple
new fish icons (the ones that hint you on what you're trying to catch)
for the fishing minigame; a few adjustments to prevent self-reproducing
fish from ignoring the population cap and let fish with a stable
population of 1 to crossbreed (also gotta make a different PR to let it
happen rarely without the crossbreeding trait).
This PR is still a WIP, gotta test it several times.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fishing is something I've been working on for about a year now, but
there are still a few places where it's kinda lackluster, like there's
not enough diverse fishing spots or useful fish (I'll be working on a
separate PR to make the logistic of a carrying a fish around without
letting it die a tad easier). Also, look at these sprites:

Can you guess which is which?
## Changelog
For the sake of not dumping players with niche information 90% of the
players won't understand, I'll keep the CL pretty generic
🆑
add: Added twelve new fish types to the game. Some are cool, other are
not, some come with their own special traits and some are straight-up
weapons.
add: Added more fishing spots to the game. Sand, ice, rivers, the cursed
spring...
balance: A few fish like salmon, swordfish and pufferfish (poisonous
btw) now give better quality fillets when butchered, which can improve
the quality of food that uses them even further.
balance: Excessive fish weight will make the fish slowier to carry,
while excessive size may make it require two hands.
balance: Adjusted size, weight and cooldowns of several fish, for the
better.

## About The Pull Request
The fish bounty for specific kind of fish has been removed for being a
bit janky and relying on RNG way too much. The other two remain, and
have had their payout buffed a little to compensate.
To make it make it better, a fish export has been added. Each and every
fish can be sold to cargo, with a selling price determined by their size
and weight, meaning bigger fish sell for more. A fish of default size
and weight generally sells for around 130, rarely goes above 600 for
most fish, yet a few can sell for 1k, and it can **theorically** go all
the way up to ~11k if you were to reach max size and weight for the
biggest fish in the game.
This PR also reduces the weight of the jumpercable a bit for balance
reasons. It's a big, self-reproducing fish that requires no care
whatsoever so it's quite the cash cow, only offset by its rarity (EMAG
or blackmarket RNG). Conversely, I made the bone fish evolution a bit
easier (still a useless-ish braggard niche tbh).
## Why It's Good For The Game
The aforementioned fish bounty was janky, complex, relied on RNG too
much and the info on it didn't really fit in the bounty console. It's
better gone tbh. My fault for adding it in the first place.
As for the fish export, I want something simple, that doesn't require
the fish to be alive rather than dead, with a low payout per fish on
average, to complete the addition of "bomb fishing" from the other PR,
ergo dropping maxcaps in the ocean for shit and giggles, but that can
also have the potential to generate a decent income by cultivating big
fish.

del: Removed a janky fish bounty

balance: reduced the average weight of the jumpercable. Conversely,
eased up the requirements for the bone fish evolution.

## About The Pull Request
This PR contains a few changes that I hadn't got to do earlier,
including: different pressure / air mixture thresholds for different
fish (if amphibious), fish being able to be fed directly without the
need of an aquarium, replacing the `available_in_random_cases` variable
with a weight define of value 0, the preset fishing sources global list
so we don't have to manually instantiate lazy fishing spots and assign
them stupid string defines, chasm detritus made into datums, a couple
balloon alerts and removal of unused code.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The fishing portal generator UI is unused, the perfect variable for the
fishing minigame is also unused.
There's no reason for chasm detritus to be an item instead of a datum.
It isn't a map spawner.
Chasm chrabs, if given the amphibious trait, should be able to survive
Lavaland/Icemoon's atmosphere.
I don't even know why I made a snowflake proc to instantiate the
evolutions global list instead of `init_subtypes_w_path_keys`
The shiny lover and wary fish traits were actually making the minigame
slightly easier.
The background icons for the UI had a zero-alpha, one pixel thin stripe
on top that needed to be colored.
Improved `fish_source/proc/dispense_reward`.
Some doc comments and a typo or two.
## Changelog
🆑
add: You can now feed fish with the can of fish feed without having to
put the fish in a aquarium first.
balance: Some fish may survive in different, harsher atmospheres if
given the amphibious trait, like chasm chrabs on lavaland.
qol: aquarium now uses balloon alerts when feeding fish.
fix: The wary and shiny lover no longer incorrectly remove difficulty
from the minigame if conditions aren't met.
/🆑
Listing the changes, off the top of my head:
- Resprited fishing rods, hooks, and the worm bait!
- Added a new, telescopic fishing rod, that can be bought as a goodie.
The master rod is also telescopic now.
- Added a couple hooks. One that lets you move the bait up and down,
otherwise keeping it in place, and another that stops the fish from
escaping, but slowly kills it. The former from the bepis fishing tech
node, the latter frm the black market.
- Added a fishing skill and relative legendary reward: A fishing hat,
like the one that recites "women fear me, fish fear me"
- You can now stop fishing by activating the fishing rod in your hand,
and stops it from stealing all clicks on other things if it isn't in
your active hand.
- Reworked fishing traits into fish traits, which can apply to fish
after it has been caught.
- Expanded the fish breeding system. Traits may be passed down to
offsprings, and offsprings may evolve (mutate?) into different kind of
fishes if conditions when conditions are met.
- Added half a dozen new fishes, each with its own traits: lubefish,
sludgefish (and its purple variant), slimefish, unmarine bonemass and
unmarine mastodon. Also, holodeck fish, as a joke.
- New traits: lubed skin, parthenogenesis, toxic (new reagent), toxin
immunity, predator, necrophage, no mating, crossbreeder, aggressive and
revival. Converted Emulsijack's ability and Donkfish's yuckiness into
traits as well.
- Added a fish analyzer that you can scan aquariums and fishes with.
- Fish can now be blended if you really want to. The number of reagents
from blending, w_class, and the number of fillets you get from cutting
fish now scale with size and weight.
- fish feed is no longer infinite (but it should still be plenty).
- Implemented temperature requirements for aquarium fish.
- You can now buy (dead) fish from the black market for dirt cheap.
- Last but now least, toilets are now valid fishing spots.
