Changes to crusher trophies and mining AOE, adds a new raptor-sourced trophy (#92241)
## About The Pull Request - Rebuke effect (from god's eye and lobstrocity claw trophy) now works on basicmobs, increasing the cooldown on their ranged attacks just like it does for simplemobs. - Bileworm spewlet trophy shots no longer hit your allied mobs, as previously this would cause you to constantly hit your own raptor/minebots/NODE drones, making it actively detrimental in some situations. Its shots now deals brute damage instead of burn, as otherwise its damage was reduced by 70% due to innate projectile resistance of lavaland mobs, making it deal measely 6 damage every 10 seconds. - MOD sphere module bombs now properly aggro lavaland mobs, as previously they only worked on simplemobs (also fixed a direct assignment to the blackboard in legionnaire spine code). - They also no longer deal damage to minebots and NODE drones. - Afterimages from the ice demon and their trophy can now be passed through, although hostile AI would attempt to avoid doing so. This way the trophy should no longer be an active detriment to players, and demons themselves should be less jank to fight. And if you're a heartless enough bastard, you can kill and butcher your raptor to get a new raptor feather crusher trophy, which allows your destabilizer shots to phase through your allied mobs similarly to passthrough mods for PKA. <img width="174" height="125" alt="Aseprite_3Olcd7oyVJ" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/99d7eebb-e36d-428b-aa48-f1261a173ca1" /> ## Why It's Good For The Game These changes should make vent defense more bearable, as right now its very easy to accidentally damage and kill your own drone due to them being hit by all AOEs in miner arsenal. - Rebuke - should probably work on basicmobs as only remaining simplemobs on lavaland are megafauna - Bileworm spewlet - its a joke of a trophy at 6 damage as it has a 10 second cooldown, and it hitting your allies made vent defense much harder than it should've been - Sphere changes - should make bombs not kill your NODE/mining drones, aggro helps prevent cheese. - Afterimages - the trophy can end up bodyblocking you, this change should make it less of a pain in the ass to use the trophy and to fight the demons themselves. - Raptor feather - useful for vent defense when you're using minebots or have dismounted your raptor, right now its a pain for reasons mentioned above ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added a raptor feather crusher trophy which makes your crusher shots go through your allied mobs. balance: Rebuke effect from lobster claw trophy and the eye of god now applies to basicmob attacks balance: Bileworm spewlet's damage is no longer reduced by 70% when hitting lavaland fauna, and it no longer can hit allied mobs balance: Sphere MODule bombs no longer hit NODE drones and minebots balance: Ice demon/ice demon cube afterimages can now be walked through by players fix: Sphere MODule bombs now aggro basicmobs hit by their explosions /🆑 |

/Icon/ Folder cleansing crusade part, I think 4; post-wallening clean-up. (#85823)
Hello everybuddy, your number three rated coder-failure here to clean up some mess. This PR accomplishes some of the more major structural clean up changes I wanted to do with /obj/ folder, but decided to wait on until wallening gets merged, and so, time has come. Several things to still be done, although I know these cleaning PR's are quite a load, so will wait for this one to get done with first. ## Why It's Good For The Game Saner spriters, better sprites, less annoyance. Also deleted a whole load of redundancy this time around, a lot of sprites which existed simultaniously in two places now got exit their quantum superposition. |

Wallening [IDB IGNORE] [MDB IGNORE] (#85491)
## What's going on here Kept you waitin huh! This pr resprites most all walls, windows and other "wall adjacent" things to a 3/4th perspective, technical term is "tall" walls (we are very smart). If you're trying to understand the technical details here, much of the "rendering tech" is built off the idea of split-vis. Basically, split a sprite up and render it on adjacent turfs, to prevent seeing "through" walls/doors, and to support seeing "edges" without actually seeing the atom itself. Most of the rest of it is pipelining done to accommodate how icons are cut. ## Path To Merge Almost* all sprites and code is done at this point. There are some things missing both on and off the bounty list, but that will be the case forever unless we force upstream (you guys) to stop adding new shit that doesn't fit the style. I plan on accepting and integrating prs to the current working repo <https://github.com/wall-nerds/wallening> up until a merge, to make contribution simpler and allow things like bounties to close out more easily This pr is quite bulky, even stripping away map changes it's maybe 7000 LOC (We have a few maps that were modified with UpdatePaths, I am also tentatively pring our test map, for future use.) This may inhibit proper review, although that is part of why I am willing to make it despite my perfectionism. Apologies in advance. Due to the perspective shift, a lot of mapping work is going to need to be done at some point. This comes in varying levels of priority. Many wallmounts are offset by hand, some are stuck in the wall/basically cannot be placed on the east/west/north edges of walls (posters), some just don't look great good in their current position. Tests are currently a minor bit yorked, I thought it was more important to get this up then to clean them fully. ## What does it look like?       ## Credits <details> <summary>Historical Mumbojumbo</summary> I am gonna do my best to document how this project came to be. I am operating off third party info and half remembered details, so if I'm wrong please yell at me. This project started sometime in late 2020, as a product of Rohesie trying to integrate and make easier work from Mojave Sun (A recently defunct fallout server) with /tg/. Mojave Sun (Apparently this was LITERALLY JUST infrared baron, that man is insane) was working with tall walls, IE walls that are 48px tall instead of the normal 32. This was I THINK done based off a technical prototype from aao7 proving A it was possible and B it didn't look like dogwater. This alongside oranges begging the art team for 3/4th walls (he meant TGMC style) lead to Rohesie bringing on contributors from general /tg/, including actionninja who would eventually take over as technical lead and Kryson, who would define /tg/'s version of the artstyle. Much of the formative aspects of this project are their work. The project was coming along pretty well for a few months, but ran into serious technical issues with `SIDE_MAP`, a byond map_format that allows for simpler 3/4th rendering. Due to BULLSHIT I will not detail here, the map format caused issues both at random with flickering and heavily with multiz. Concurrent with this, action stepped down after hacking out the rendering tech and starting work on an icon cutter that would allow for simpler icon generation, leaving ninjanomnom to manage the project. Some time passed, and the project stalled out due to the technical issues. Eventually I built a test case for the issues we had with `SIDE_MAP` and convinced lummox jr (byond's developer) to explain how the fuckin thing actually worked. This understanding made the project theoretically possible, but did not resolve the problems with multi-z. Resolving those required a full rework of how rendering like, worked. I (alongside tattle) took over project development from ninjanomnom at this time, and started work on Plane Cube (#69115), which when finished would finally make the project technically feasible. The time between then and now has been slow, progressive work. Many many artists and technical folks have dumped their time into this (as you can see from the credits). I will get into this more below but I would like to explicitly thank (in no particular order) tattle, draco, arcanemusic, actionninja, imaginos, viro and kylerace for keeping the project alive in this time period. I would have curled up into a ball and died if I had to do this all myself, your help has been indispensable. </details> <details> <summary>Detailed Credits</summary> Deep apologies if I have forgotten someone (I am sure I have, if someone is you please contact me). I've done my best to collate from the git log/my memory. Thanks to (In no particular order): Raccoff: Being funny to bully, creating threshold decals for airlocks aa07: (I think) inspiring the project ActionNinja: Laying the technical rock we build off, supporting me despite byond trying to kill him, building the icon cutter that makes this possible ArcaneMusic: Artistic and technical work spanning from the project's start to literally today, being a constant of motivation and positivity. I can't list all the stuff he's done Armhulen: Key rendering work (he's the reason thindows render right), an upbeat personality and a kick in the ass. Love you arm Azlan: Damn cool sprites, consistently Ben10Omintrix: You know ben showed up just to make basic mobs work, he's just fuckin like that man BigBimmer: A large amount of bounty work, alongside just like, throwing shit around. An absolute joy to work with Capsandi: Plaques, blastdoors, artistic work early on CapybaraExtravagante: Rendering work on wall frames Draco: SO MUCH STUFF. Much of the spritework done over the past two years is his, constantly engaged and will take on anything. I would have given up if not for you Floyd: Early rendering work, so early I don't even know the details. Enjoy freedom brother Imaginos16: A guiding hand through the middle years, handled much of the sprite review and contribution for a good bit there Iamgoofball: A dedication to detail and aesthetic goals, spends a lot of effort dissecting feedback with a focus on making things as good as they can be at the jump Infrared: Part of the impetus for the project, made all the xenomorph stuff in the MS style Jacquerel: A bunch of little upkeep/technical things, has done so much sprite gruntwork (WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PAINTING TYPES) Justice12354: Solved a bunch of error sprites (and worked out how to actually make prs to the project) Thanks bro! Kryson: Built the artstyle of the project, carrying on for years even when it was technically dying, only stopping to casually beat cancer. So much of our style and art is Kryson KylerAce: Handled annoying technical stuff for me, built window frame logic and fully got rid of grilles. LemonInTheDark: Rendering dirtywork, project management and just so much fucking time in dreammaker editing sprites Meyhazah: Table buttons, brass windows and alll the old style doors Mothblocks: Has provided constant support, gave me a deadline and motivation, erased worries about "it not being done", gave just SO much money to fill in the critical holes in sprites. Thanks moth MTandi: Contributed art despite his own blackjack and hookers club opening right down the road, I'm sorry I rolled over some of your sprites man I wish we had finished earlier Ninjanomnomnom: Consulted on gags issues, kept things alive through some truly shit times oranges: This is his fault Rohesie: Organized the effort, did much of the initial like, proof of concept stuff. I hope you're doin well whatever you're up to. san7890: Consulting on mapper UX/design problems, being my pet mapper Senefi: Offsetting items with a focus on detail/the more unused canidates SimplyLogan: Detailed map work and mapper feedback, personally very kind even if we end up talking past each other sometimes. Thank you! SpaceSmithers: Just like, random mapping support out of nowhere, and bein a straight up cool dude Tattle: A bunch of misc project management stuff, organizing the discord, managing the test server, dealing with all the mapping bullshit for me, being my backup in case of bus. I know you think you didn't do much but your presence and work have been a great help Thunder12345: Came out of nowhere and just so much of the random bounties, I'm kind of upset about how much we paid him Time-Green: I hooked him in by fucking with stuff he made and now he's just doin shit, thanks for helping out man! Twaticus: Provided artistic feedback and authority for my poor feeble coder brain, believed in the project for YEARS, was a constant source of ❤️ and affirmation unit0016: I have no god damn idea who she is, popped out of nowhere on the github one day and dealt with a bunch of annoying rendering/refactoring. Godspeed random furry thank you for all your effort and issue reports Viro: A bunch of detailed spriting moving towards 3/4ths, both on and off the wallening fork. If anyone believed this project would be done, it was viro Wallem: Artistic review and consultation, was my go-to guy for a long time when the other two spritetainers were inactive Waltermeldon: Cracked out a bunch of rendering work, he's the reason windows look like not dogwater. Alongside floyd and action spent a TON of time speaking to lummox/unearthing how byond rendering worked trying to make this thing happen ZephyrTFA: Added directional airlock helpers, dealt with a big fuckin bugaboo that was living in my brain like it was nothing. Love you brother And finally: The Mojave Sun development team. They provided a testbed for the idea, committed hundreds and hundreds of hours to the artstyle, and were a large reason we caught issues early enough to meaningfully deal with them. Your work is a testament to what longterm effort and deep detailed care produce. I hope you're doing well whatever you're up to.

NODE drones now show their wave progress on the sprite (#85405)
## About The Pull Request Node drones now show a small green progress light as they reach 25%, 50%, and 75% landmarks within the wave defense minigame. This allows for a bit of consistency when it comes to doing wave defense, so you can get a feel for how much longer you have until wave defense is complete at any given vent. This also clears the registered signal on QDEL, so that when wave defense is completed successfully, it doesn't trigger the "*creaks and groans as the mining attempt fails, and the vent closes back up*" message.   ## Why It's Good For The Game This was presented as an idea to me as a quick QOL improvement for arcmining, which I agree would make for an easy improvement to how the wave defense minigame is presented. Been meaning to do more balance, system, and QOL changes to arcmining, but I've been swamped with real life as of late. This however was a fairly simple change I did over the weekend. ## Changelog 🆑 qol: NODE drones summoned to tap a vent within ore vents now display a green status light to show how much longer they need the vent defended for. /🆑 |

Increases move resistance on NODE Drones, adds handling for when the drone is seperated from the node (#83309)
## About The Pull Request NODE Drones now have higher move resistance (MOVE_FORCE_EXTREMELY_STRONG), preventing them from being bumped off the node, pulled away, or lifted away by a fulton extraction kit. As an extra layer of assurance, the NODE Drone will depart from the site if it is moved off of its vent. ## Why It's Good For The Game Closes #83164. I'm pretty sure these things shouldn't really be ever moving off of their vents. ## Changelog 🆑 Rhials fix: You can no longer force NODE Drones off of ore vents. That includes using fulton packs! fix: When a NODE Drone is forcibly separated from its vent, it will fly away. /🆑 |

Ore vents now have countermeasures against walling them off from all sides. (#83295)
## About The Pull Request This PR fixes some balance and practicality issues with the spawner component that has affected vent mining and the associated wave defense. * The turf_peel() proc now checks to see if it's pulling no turf from the inside or outside of it's peel, in which case it now has a default case where it returns it's center turf instead. * As a consequence of this, the center turf is where mobs will spawn if an ore vent is unable to find any space where it can spawn any new hostile mobs. Upon testing this, it worked fairly well, but ultimately node drones were capable of tanking enough hits for long enough that typically they could still survive a small vent's onslaught. As a precaution, I've made two additional changes. * Node drones have had their maximum health dropped slightly, from 500 health to 300 health. * As a secondary precaution, if a spawner using the turf peel method cannot spawn correctly, it will send a signal, which ore vents are now registered to. When called on an ore vent, it has new behavior to clear the offending nearby turfs and create a pathway to allow nearby mobs to get access to the vent. * (**This is an explosion**.) ## Why It's Good For The Game Fixes an unreported on the repo but repeatedly pinged issue regarding ore vent waves where players could often wall off or blockoff an ore vent in such a way that it allows vents to be functionally immortal by quickly walling off the vent using sandstone doors. This should help to prevent players cheesing the intended gameplay mechanic, as well as keep up the challenge to arcmining wave defense without some additional nuance. I may have gone a little overboard with the health tweaks as well, but considering that even with the explosions, I was able to survive the repeated explosions on the vent, I think this should work quite well all things considered. Still, open to feedback there. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Ore vents, if blocked off from all four sides while being defended, now cause a mild gas explosion, resulting in a mild dissuasive explosion. fix: NODE drones spawned from ore vent defense have lower maximum health. /🆑 |

ArcMining Pr Beta: Version 1.2 (#78524)
This one's not like the last one, so much so that I'm not even going to outsource the PR description to a robot this time! Basically, **You should read the PR body before assuming that everything is the same as last time. It's not.** ## Video Summary Click the link below to see a video summary of the main features of this pull request. https://youtu.be/Aho2omR0mjY?feature=shared ## About The Pull Request This pull request serves as a large rework of minerals produced by mining, and by extension mining itself. I'll try and list each change and it's associated nuance here. ### Ore Vents The biggest addition to the game with ArcMining is **Ore Vents**. Ore vents spawn as a ruin on the map, placing a randomized ore vent onto map generation. Ore vents spawn in 3 different sizes, **Small, Medium, and Large**. These vents will pick from a pool of materials they can generate, and will hang out across the map. A player can use a mining scanner to discover an ore vent, granting a small quantity of **mining points** to begin with. Once scanned, ore vents will show what minerals that ore vent will generate after they're fully tapped. Scanning the vent again will trigger the extraction process. A small drone will fly down, called the NODE drone, and buckle onto the vent. Your job during wave defense is to protect the drone and to defeat waves of randomly spawning mobs (dependent on if you're on lavaland or on icebox). The quantity, duration, and time between waves is scaled to the size of the vent you're protecting. Starting by scanning and protecting lower tier vents earlier in the shift is a safer bet than doing a large vent in the first few minutes. The drone has 500 health, and can take a good few hits, but leaving it alone will cause it to meet an unfortunate end quite quickly. Cooperation can be your best asset, as mining with allies can greatly help with wave defense, and mineral points are granted to anyone who helps with defending the ore vent equally (So 500 * size tier, regardless of how much help you receive). Once complete, the ore vent will have a mining machine constructed on top of it, and will start to dredge up **Boulders** from the earth automatically. More on boulders later. Ore vents can be located based on your mining scanner, and will provide an appropriate audio cue based on if the ore vent has been discovered or not, and once processed will no longer alert you to it's presence. **Each station comes with a free vent that produces exclusively iron and glass, free of charge.** This is to help with shifts where the station may not have shaft miners to produce minerals, and to provide the station with a baseline amount of minerals where none may exist otherwise. ### Mineral Generation Mineral generation has been completely reworked. Previously, Mineral Generation had a flat 13% spawn rate in-game. Once minerals spawned, they would also have a chance to propagate their minerals to nearby tiles, resulting in a rather massive pool of minerals that could spawn throughout lavaland on the whole. This tweaks that, by making minerals in walls spawn based on their proximity to ore vents on maps that use cave generation. Both the probability, and quantity of ores spawning in walls is scaled based on distance, with ore vents looking like large caches of ores found in walls. This makes following ores found in walls and checking their quantity of minerals spawned a good indicator of how close you are to a nearby vent in-round. This means you can collect some points form both discovering ore vents first, as well as collecting their surrounding ores, turn those in for mining points, and then trading them in for gear upgrades to more effectively take on ore vents. As a result of tweaking the balance of this, the total amount of ores spawned in walls overall has been decreased. However, by making more of the process time based, we still result in a mostly balanced finished product. ### Boulder Processing On station, there are now three new machines. These are the BRM, the Refinery, and the Smelter. - The BRM acts as a teleporter. Instead of needing to carry boulders back to the station, you can activate the BRM, and it will automatically pick boulders to teleport back to itself. You can use this to teleport boulders dredged up from lavaland onto the station for processing. **The BRM will only lock on to boulders that are resting on an ore vent.** Moving boulders back by hand will mean you'll have to haul it back by hand. - The refinery processes the non-metallic materials out of boulders. This process sends the materials straight to the ORM, and collects mining points from the ores smelted in the machine. Swiping with an ID card lets you withdraw those points for your own personal account, but remember that these points are for your whole team to share from. The **Mining points obtained from this process is only 75% of the amount an equivalent amount of ores would provide.** - The smelter works nearly identically, however the smelter produces metallic materials out of boulders instead. - Once a boulder has had all of it's materials extracted, it's broken down and deleted from the line. Otherwise, the boulder is spat out for the next machine to process it (either the refinery or smelter). - Once there's no minerals left in a boulder of any type, the refinery or smelter will break the boulder down. - Boulders **do not stack onto tiles with each other**, so they'll block each other when pulled or when moving on a conveyor belt. Boulders can also be processed by hand. Using a mining tool on a boulder with right click will allow you to break down a boulder into it's composite ores, but limits you to a maximum of 10 ore per boulder, where the full amount can be extracted using the proper processing machines. Also, processing by hand does deal small amounts of stamina damage over time, do breaking a full large boulder can be particularly taxing. Additional Boulder Processing Machines can be built, with the BRM board being obtained from the Protolathe, while the Smelter and Refinery boards being obtainable from the Autolathe instead. A _boulder processing beacon_ can also be obtained from the mining points vendor as a reward to assist with boulder processing. Boulder processing beacons can be used to spawn in a new BRM, refinery, and smelter on the tile the user is standing on, however **you'll still need to link them to the ORM**! All three machines can be upgraded with Stock Parts, allowing for **more boulders to be processed at a time**. It does not, however, increase the amount of minerals received from boulders, or points earned. ### Mining Borg Tweaks Mining borgs have been given some minor adjustments to compensate for the changes to mining. Their mineral scanner, which now has an active component to gameplay, is now a module as opposed to built into the mob. This module allows for the same ability to discover and start waves of monsters to fight. Mining modules will find that their PKA now has a total of 90% mod capacity as compared to the 80% they had before, to allow for more robust defense of ore vents. In addition, all borgs and AIs can interact with the BRM for boulder collection. ### Mining Mech Tweaks Mining Mechs have had their utility tweaked as a result of these changes as well. Mineral scanners to be used on mining mechs now have a larger radius by comparison to their handheld cousins. Similarly, it now has an active scanning button, which will actively discovery nearby ore vents. To begin wave defense, you will need to hop out and scan a second time however, so that you can properly accept the risks of drawing a horde of bloodthirsty wildlife towards you and your companions. Mechs can also manually process boulders, similar to mining tools using their drill. ### Golem Tweaks Golems, being more gentle and less aggressive than humans, while being made out of LITERAL ROCKS, have a greater need to secure access to ores and minerals to eat. As such, they have adapted to be able to do two new things: - Golems may now right click ore vents to be able to manually haul a boulder out of the vent. This costs a hefty amount of stamina, but it allows for golems to avoid combat during regular gameplay. - Golems may now left click a boulder with an open hand in order to manually process a boulder like a pickaxe. While not faster, it is consistent and prevents golems from starving if they have access to a vent, but no ores, somehow. ### Gulag Tweaks The labor camp, being a camp for rehabilitation and ~~excessive manual labor~~ has been tweaked. Boulders now replace the random minerals located on their island, and to acquire their prizes inside, much be excavated and then broken out of the rock. Now YOU TOO can excavate minerals and become a true mineral hero by working your way to freedom. ### Mining Point Changes As a result of fewer mining points being available across the map due to the new ore spawning mechanics, and the shift in how and when ores will be coming in, almost every progress based mining point cost has been reduced by around 10-20%. Many numbers are still subject to change at present, but the idea is that core progress unlocks should be made a bit more available earlier in the round before players can start to solo or duo larger or more difficult ore vents, after which they'll be rolling in ores. ### Rarities Every once in awhile, an unusual boulder will get hauled up from the mineral rich depths of lavaland. These **Artifact boulders** can occasionally produce rare items, but for now they've mostly just been pulling up **Strange objects** for science. Nanotrasen Natural Sciences department will reward you extra points to be collected by boulder processing machines for successfully extracting one. In the future, this opens up a passive reward space that mining can reward to the station, like providing cytology DNA samples, ancient seeds, or other artifacts. ### Misc notes - Boulders can be stored in all varieties of ore boxes (ground, mech) should you choose, however as mentioned it's best to leave them where they spawn and teleport them to the station for convenience. - Maps that are not subject to cave generation will find that they are largely untouched in terms of mineral balance. - Future or existing ruins can now be tweaked to have a mineral balance cost, as the ore vent ruin does. This will allow us to spawn in more interesting ruins for pre-made combat challenges. - There are unique ore vents that spawn across the map, that will summon a boss mob relevant to that map. If the boss mob is defeated, that vent will spawn large boulders pulling from every possible ore type that can spawn. Not for the faint of heart! - Similarly, the number of ore vents and mineral budget is now adjustable in the cave generation procs, so maps may spawn with more or less ore vents as desired for balance. - Artifact boulders opens up a LOT of room for possible future content like archaeology, xenoarch, artisci, and other design spaces! - Megafauna STILL SPAWN ON THE MAP. They just happen to spawn in addition to boss ore vents. - **I'll add more to this as I get asked questions and remember things, this is a huge PR and I'm confident I've missed at least something** ## Why It's Good For The Game I outlined a lot of this in #78040, so I'll try and keep this relatively snappy this time, while noting that I've made some concessions to make the whole system a lot more playable while not trying to break out design decisions that are at the end of the day, better for the game and the overall resource balance in round. Minerals are a very poorly balanced system, and have been since their inception many years ago. We heavily rely on mineral balance in round, and yet we've really only balanced it by introducing so much supply that there's no equivalent exchange for materials that doesn't just heavily flood the exchanged material. For example, items printed from materials that are otherwise considered "rare" on master exist in such quantities and they'll never practically run out in our allotted 90 minute time slot design. This PR adjusts how ores spawn to a point where we can minimize the amount of ores that need to exist on the map for mining to be able to progress, while still providing enough resources for the station that it covers the needs of the station adequately. Miners will need to be more strategic about what resources they've collected, and be able to make decisions about which vents are worth the risk of attempting to fight, how to prepare for a wave defense, and when to head back up for upgrades, while finally giving them at least some kind of incentive to work together and use different equipment. Resonators make cleaning up the caves around vent easy, sandbags set up easy defenses for your vent, mechs can serve as a wider range radar while mining, all while still providing a new gameplay loop to mining. By limiting the amount of ores that can enter the round from the massive, massive amounts that were coming into the round beforehand (see #78346 ), we can make ore processing more meaningful by adding more gameplay to the processing of minerals. I have some plans for that, however this PR already got bloated really REALLY badly due to scope creep and the number of intersecting systems that rammed into each other to make this PR possible. So that'll be next. Plus, as I've mentioned, we open up places for ore processing to find fossils, relics, and other things that can implemented down the line. Overall, I don't expect this PR to save or kill ore balance, but we gain a LOT more control over it through the use of our mining defines attached to this PR, and at the end of the day, that's a great place to start off of. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added ore vents. Scanning them with mining scanners shows what minerals they contain. Scan again to fight off a horde of beasts as your drone assistant excavates the vent, so the ore vent will produce mineral boulders! bal: Ores that spawn in walls now spawn based on their proximity to ore vents, with their chance to spawn and their minerals contained scaling from low to high. add: Added the BRM, Refinery, and Smelter. These pieces of equipment are used to process ore boulders into minerals for the station. Stock Part upgrades allow more boulders to be processed at one time. They collect mining points as well, to be redeemed with an ID card swipe. add: Boulders are teleported to the station via the BRM if left untouched. Boulders can also be cracked open for a reduced amount of ore using pickaxes or golems hands. add: All stations come equipt with a pre-excavated ore vent, which produces a basic supply of iron and glass only. Scan other vents for your critical resources! add: Look there's a shit ton of changes on mining, for more detail check out the Pull Request: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78524. sound: New sounds and noises for your high octane factorio-like gameplay! image: All new boulder sprites for the new minerals and rocks added to the mining gameplay loop, as well as mining machines! image: Overlays appear over vents when scanned to let you know their contents at a glance when actively scanned with any mining scanners. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Time-Green <7501474+Time-Green@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <51863163+MrMelbert@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: SyncIt21 <110812394+SyncIt21@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Jacquerel <hnevard@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Ghom <42542238+Ghommie@users.noreply.github.com> |
