## About The Pull Request
When it comes to deconstructing an object we have `proc/deconstruct()` &
`NO_DECONSTRUCT`
Lets talk about the flag first.
**Problems with `NO_DECONSTRUCTION`**
I know what the comment says on what it should do
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/b5593bc6930cb60803214869a7b94c84e7baa02c/code/__DEFINES/obj_flags.dm#L18
But everywhere people have decided to give their own meaning/definition
to this flag. Here are some examples on how this flag is used
**1. Make the object just disappear(not drop anything) when
deconstructed**
This is by far the largest use case everywhere. If an object is
deconstructed(either via tools or smashed apart) then if it has this
flag it should not drop any of its contents but just disappear. You have
seen this code pattern used everywhere
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/b5593bc6930cb60803214869a7b94c84e7baa02c/code/game/machinery/constructable_frame.dm#L26-L31
This behaviour is then leveraged by 2 important components.
When an object is frozen, if it is deconstructed it should just
disappear without leaving any traces behind
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/b5593bc6930cb60803214869a7b94c84e7baa02c/code/datums/elements/frozen.dm#L66-L67
By hologram objects. Obviously if you destroy an hologram nothing real
should drop out
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/b5593bc6930cb60803214869a7b94c84e7baa02c/code/modules/holodeck/computer.dm#L301-L304
And there are other use cases as well but we won't go into them as they
aren't as significant as these.
**2. To stop an object from being wrenched ??**
Yeah this one is weird. Like why? I understand in some instances (chair,
table, rack etc) a wrench can be used to deconstruct a object so using
the flag there to stop it from happening makes sense but why can't we
even anchor an object just because of this flag?
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/b5593bc6930cb60803214869a7b94c84e7baa02c/code/game/objects/objs.dm#L368-L369
This is one of those instances where somebody just decided this
behaviour for their own convenience just like the above example with no
explanation as to why
**3. To stop using tools to deconstruct the object**
This was the original intent of the flag but it is enforced in few
places far & between. One example is when deconstructing the a machine
via crowbar.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/b5593bc6930cb60803214869a7b94c84e7baa02c/code/game/machinery/_machinery.dm#L811
But machines are a special dual use case for this flag. Because if you
look at its deconstruct proc the flag also prevents the machine from
spawning a frame.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/b5593bc6930cb60803214869a7b94c84e7baa02c/code/game/machinery/_machinery.dm#L820-L822
How can 1 flag serve 2 purposes within the same type?
**4. Simply forget to check for this flag altogether**
Yup if you find this flag not doing its job for some objects don't be
surprised. People & sometimes even maintainers just forget that it even
exists
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/b5593bc6930cb60803214869a7b94c84e7baa02c/code/game/objects/items/piggy_bank.dm#L66-L67
**Solution**
These are the main examples i found. As you can see the same flag can
perform 2 different functions within the same type and do something else
in a different object & in some instances don't even work cause people
just forget, etc.
In order to bring consistency to this flag we need to move it to the
atom level where it means the same thing everywhere. Where in the atom
you may ask? .Well, I'll just post what MrMelbert said in
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81656#discussion_r1503086862
> ...Ideally the .deconstruct call would handle NO_DECONSTRUCTION
handling as it wants,
Yup that's the ideal case now. This flag is checked directly in
`deconstruct()`. Now like i said we want to give a universal definition
to this flag and as you have seen from my examples it is used in 3 cases
1) Make an object disappear(doesn't dropping anything) when
deconstructed
2) Stop it from being wrenched
3) Stop it from being deconstructed via tools
We can't enforce points 2 & 3 inside `deconstruct()` which leaves us
with only case 1) i.e. make the object disappear. And that's what i have
done. Therefore after more than a decade or since this flag got
introduced `NO_DECONSTRUCT` now has a new definition as of 2024
_"Make an object disappear(don't dropping anything) when deconstructed
either via tools or forcefully smashed apart"_
Now i very well understand this will open up bugs in places where cases
2 & 3 are required but its worth it. In fact they could even be qol
changes for all we know so who knows it might even benefit us but for
now we need to give a universal definition to this flag to bring some
consistency & that's what this PR does.
**Problem with deconstruct()**
This proc actually sends out a signal which is currently used by the
material container but could be used by other objects later on.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/3e84c3e6dad33c831ac259f52f2f023680e4899b/code/game/objects/obj_defense.dm#L160
So objects that override this proc should call its parent. Sadly that
isn't the case in many instances like such
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/3e84c3e6dad33c831ac259f52f2f023680e4899b/code/game/machinery/deployable.dm#L20-L23
Instead of `return ..()` which would delete the object & send the signal
it deletes the object directly thus the signal never gets sent.
**Solution**
Make this proc non overridable. For objects to add their own custom
deconstruction behaviour a new proc has been introduced
`atom_deconstruct()` Subtypes should now override this proc to handle
object deconstruction.
If objects have certain important stuff inside them (like mobs in
machines for example) they want to drop by handling `NO_DECONSTRUCT`
flag in a more carefully customized way they can do this by overriding
`handle_deconstruct()` which by default delegates to
`atom_deconstruct()` if the `NO_DECONSTRUCT` flag is absent. This proc
will allow you to handle the flag in a more customized way if you ever
need to.
## Why It's Good For The Game
1) I'm goanna post the full comment from MrMelbert
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81656#discussion_r1503086862
> ...Ideally the .deconstruct call would handle NO_DECONSTRUCTION
handling as it wants, but there's a shocking lack of consistency around
NO_DECONSTRUCTION, where some objects treat it as "allow deconstruction,
but make it drop no parts" and others simply "disallow deconstruction at
all"
This PR now makes `NO_DECONSTRUCTION` handled by `deconstruct()` & gives
this flag the consistency it deserves. Not to mention as shown in case 4
there are objects that simply forgot to check for this flag. Now it
applies for those missing instances as well.
2) No more copying pasting the most overused code pattern in this code
base history `if(obj_flags & NO_DECONSTRUCTION)`. Just makes code
cleaner everywhere
3) All objects now send the `COMSIG_OBJ_DECONSTRUCT` signal on object
deconstruction which is now available for use should you need it
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: refactors how objects are deconstructed in relation to the
`NO_DECONSTRUCTION` flag. Certain objects & machinery may display
different tool interactions & behaviours when destroyed/deconstructed.

Ever since https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81215 I havent
been able to scan anyone that was wearing or holding anything with a
circuit multi tool because the options never popped up, the click was
just unresponsive and nothing would happen.
Then I remembered that Ghommie posted a picture of it working when the
pr was first made and went to look at any changes made in the commits
afterwards
For some reason uniqueid set to true was what made the list not appear,
and I cant find any side effects from removing that bit of code.

## About The Pull Request
Removes all arbitrary energy and power units in the codebase. Everything
is replaced with the joule and watt, with 1 = 1 joule, or 1 watt if you
are going to multiply by time. This is a visible change, where all
arbitrary energy units you see in the game will get proper prefixed
units of energy.
With power cells being converted to the joule, charging one joule of a
power cell will require one joule of energy.
The grid will now store energy, instead of power. When an energy usage
is described as using the watt, a power to energy conversion based on
the relevant subsystem's timing (usually multiplying by seconds_per_tick
or applying power_to_energy()) is needed before adding or removing from
the grid. Power usages that are described as the watt is really anything
you would scale by time before applying the load. If it's described as a
joule, no time conversion is needed. Players will still read the grid as
power, having no visible change.
Machines that dynamically use power with the use_power() proc will
directly drain from the grid (and apc cell if there isn't enough)
instead of just tallying it up on the dynamic power usages for the area.
This should be more robust at conserving energy as the surplus is
updated on the go, preventing charging cells from nothing.
APCs no longer consume power for the dynamic power usage channels. APCs
will consume power for static power usages. Because static power usages
are added up without checking surplus, static power consumption will be
applied before any machine processes. This will give a more truthful
surplus for dynamic power consumers.
APCs will display how much power it is using for charging the cell. APC
cell charging applies power in its own channel, which gets added up to
the total. This will prevent invisible power usage you see when looking
at the power monitoring console.
After testing in MetaStation, I found roundstart power consumption to be
around 406kW after all APCs get fully charged. During the roundstart APC
charge rush, the power consumption can get as high as over 2MW (up to
25kW per roundstart APC charging) as long as there's that much
available.
Because of the absurd potential power consumption of charging APCs near
roundstart, I have changed how APCs decide to charge. APCs will now
charge only after all other machines have processed in the machines
processing subsystem. This will make sure APC charging won't disrupt
machines taking from the grid, and should stop APCs getting their power
drained due to others demanding too much power while charging. I have
removed the delays for APC charging too, so they start charging
immediately whenever there's excess power. It also stops them turning
red when a small amount of cell gets drained (airlocks opening and shit
during APC charge rush), as they immediately become fully charged
(unless too much energy got drained somehow) before changing icon.
Engineering SMES now start at 100% charge instead of 75%. I noticed
cells were draining earlier than usual after these changes, so I am
making them start maxed to try and combat that.
These changes will fix all conservation of energy issues relating to
charging powercells.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes#73438Closes#75789Closes#80634Closes#82031
Makes it much easier to interface with the power system in the codebase.
It's more intuitive. Removes a bunch of conservation of energy issues,
making energy and power much more meaningful. It will help the
simulation remain immersive as players won't encounter energy
duplication so easily. Arbitrary energy units getting replaced with the
joule will also tell people more meaningful information when reading it.
APC charging will feel more snappy.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fixes conservation of energy issues relating to charging
powercells.
qol: APCs will display how much power they are using to charge their
cell. This is accounted for in the power monitoring console.
qol: All arbitrary power cell energy units you see are replaced with
prefixed joules.
balance: As a consequence of the conservation of energy issues getting
fixed, the power consumption for charging cells is now very significant.
balance: APCs only use surplus power from the grid after every machine
processes when charging, preventing APCs from causing others to
discharge while charging.
balance: Engineering SMES start at max charge to combat the increased
energy loss due to conservation of energy fixes.

* Refactors how machines are deconstructed (#81291)
## About The Pull Request
This refactors how machines are deconstructed in the following ways
- You can no longer override `obj/machinery/deconstruct()`. If you want
customized behaviour then override `on_deconstruction()` instead.
This comes with the added benifit of no longer needing to check for the
`NO_DECONSTRUCTION` flag because the machine base proc does that for us
& if it finds that flag it won't proceed to call `on_deconstruction()`
meaning no machine will have a chance to spawn anything which is the
current behaviour.
This is required to make #81290 work for all machines at least so that
machine can send the `COMSIG_OBJ_DECONSTRUCT` signal without subtypes
overriding & forgetting to call the parent proc
- `dump_contents()` only gets called when the machine is deconstructed
not destroyed thus not leaving behind any of its contents inside. Fixes

* General maintenance for Lathes (#81244)
## About The Pull Request
1. **Qol Stuff**
- Screentips & examines for screwdriver, crowbar acts, multiool &
wirecutter Also for Alt click
- Techfabs can now also use the Mouse drag functionality to set drop
target for items
- Lathe printing animation now plays on loop instead of just flicking
once till printing is finished for more visual feedback
2. **Code Improvements**
- Merged `start_making()` with `do_make_item()`. That proc was like only
3 lines long and used only in 1 place so let's just move that code to
`ui_act()`
- Merged `user_print_item_id()` with `ui_act()`. Again was used only in
1 place so let's just move that code in to save some proc overhead
- Sets `processing_flags` for autolathe to `NONE` cause we don't use
`process()`
- Autodocs vars such as `hacked` , `shocked` etc & procs
- `maxmult` is now computed client side saving backend bandwidth,
`construction_time` is removed from lathes which did not use it
- Removed all usages of lathe taxes and their related vars, removed
engineering lathe no tax from ice moon, replaced with normal engineering
lathe
3. **Fixes**
- Lathe sheet insertion animations are now linked & work again for all
material types inserted via remote silo/local storage,
silver/titanium/plastic all play the same animation(that is
`protolathe_shiny` overlay). Other materials have their own respective
overlays

## About The Pull Request
1. **Qol Stuff**
- Screentips & examines for screwdriver, crowbar acts, multiool &
wirecutter Also for Alt click
- Techfabs can now also use the Mouse drag functionality to set drop
target for items
- Lathe printing animation now plays on loop instead of just flicking
once till printing is finished for more visual feedback
2. **Code Improvements**
- Merged `start_making()` with `do_make_item()`. That proc was like only
3 lines long and used only in 1 place so let's just move that code to
`ui_act()`
- Merged `user_print_item_id()` with `ui_act()`. Again was used only in
1 place so let's just move that code in to save some proc overhead
- Sets `processing_flags` for autolathe to `NONE` cause we don't use
`process()`
- Autodocs vars such as `hacked` , `shocked` etc & procs
- `maxmult` is now computed client side saving backend bandwidth,
`construction_time` is removed from lathes which did not use it
- Removed all usages of lathe taxes and their related vars, removed
engineering lathe no tax from ice moon, replaced with normal engineering
lathe
3. **Fixes**
- Lathe sheet insertion animations are now linked & work again for all
material types inserted via remote silo/local storage,
silver/titanium/plastic all play the same animation(that is
`protolathe_shiny` overlay). Other materials have their own respective
overlays
- Fixes#81243. Calling `update_static_data_for_all_viewers()` is too
expensive for the UI. We should instead use `SStgui.update_uis(src)`
which will report the `busy` status to the UI more immediatly
- Fixes#81236. Some problems with the params passed to the timer
callback. It should now print the correct number of requested items
- Fixes#81192. `design.materials` would runtime for custom material
items as they were list of texts not materials. We have to pass our
manually parsed list of materials for an specific item to ensure they
are set & used correctly. Same fixes apply for techfabs as well

Integrated circuits for modular computers (#80530)
This PR integrates circuits for modular computers and a good bits of
their programs.
The peculiarity here is that modular computers have no fixed amount of
unremovable components (except the base one with just a couple ports for
now), instead, they're added and removed along with programs. With a few
exceptions (such as the messenger and signaler), for these program
circuits to work, their associated program has to be either open or in
the background.
For a reason or another, not all programs have a circuit associated to
them, still, however the programs with a circuit are still a handful.
They are:
- Nanotrasen Pay System
- Notepad
- SiliConnect
- WireCarp
- MODsuit Control
- Spectre Meter
- Direct Messenger*
- LifeConnect
- Custodial Locator
- Fission360
- Camera
- Status Display
- SignalCommander
*By the by, sending messages has a cooldown, so it shouldn't be as
spammy. If it turns out to not be enough, I can make it so messages from
circuit will be ignored by other messenger circuits.
The PR is no longer WIP.
I believe modular computers could make for some interesting setups with
circuits, since they're fairly flexible and stocked with features unlike
many other appliances, therefore also a speck more abusable, though
limits, cooldowns, logging and sanitization have been implemented to
keep it in check.
🆑
add: Modular Computers now support integrated circuits. What can be done
with them depends on the programs installed and whether they're running
(open or background).
add: Modular Consoles (the machinery) now have a small backup cell they
draw power from if the power goes out.

* Removes material breakdown flags, traits & miscellaneous fixes. (#80389)
## About The Pull Request
1. Removes material breakdown flags i.e. all flags with the format
`BREAKDOWN_XXX`. These flags do nothing, there are no special checks to
transform materials based on these flags, they are passed around just
because certain procs require them for syntax purposes only.
Apparently there were plans to make these flags do something special
from the comment
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/302247c0d1e980478f59d9c497169290ee259887/code/__DEFINES/construction/material.dm#L43
But nobody got any ideas for years now. The only special thing we can do
with them now is remove them and reduce code clutter, so let's do that
The only flag that ever did something was the
`BREAKDOWN_INCLUDE_ALCHEMY` flag. This only worked when coupled together
with `TRAIT_MAT_TRANSMUTED` trait(which is only used by the reagent
metalgen) and when both this trait & flag are combined together... they
still do nothing
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/302247c0d1e980478f59d9c497169290ee259887/code/game/atom/atom_materials.dm#L41-L42
Yup they cancel out each other to prevent returning an empty list, the
traits only job was to prevent materials from being recycled (like why?
what's the benefit of that? nothing) and the flag was meant to bypass
this restriction so both the trait & the flag cancel out each other
therefore doing nothing meaningful. Best remove them both and call it a
day.
2. Fixes an error in displaying number of sheets inserted into a mat
container when that sheet is made up of alloy materials. it would count
as 2 or more because it would take the sum of total material amount
inserted and not the actual sheets. That's fixed now.
3. Remote materials now properly respect the `MATCONTAINER_NO_INSERT`
flag
4. Adds helper proc to insert materials via the remote material
component with proper context

* Circuit action button refactor (#80379)
## About The Pull Request
This PR makes several changes to how circuit action buttons work:
- The MOD action and BCI action components have been merged into a
single component.
- MOD circuit actions can be pinned from the configuration menu. This
works the same way as pinning individual modules, and can be done both
by the wearer and a suit AI.
- Action components have an output pin for the user of the action. This
allows MOD module circuits to distinguish between the wearer and an AI.
- Creates a supertype for `/datum/action/item_action/mod/pinned_module`
named `/datum/action/item_action/mod/pinnable`, which implements common
functionality for pinned modules and pinned circuit module actions.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The prior functionality of circuit MOD actions was somewhat unintuitive,
requiring the user to select an action from a radial menu *after*
activating the module, whether from a pinned action or from the module
radial. Providing similar pinning functionality to modules themselves
makes MOD actions more readily usable.
Merging the two different types of circuit components into one was made
with the idea that adding new types of shells with equipment actions
would inflate the number of subtypes of
`/obj/item/circuit_component/equipment_action` without adding much
meaningful functionality.
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
Organs were previously stored in nullspace. Now they are stored in their
prospective bodyparts. Bodyparts are now stored in the mob.
I've also had to refactor a lot of code concerning organ movement.
Previously, organs were only moved into bodyparts once the bodyparts
were removed. To accomodate this change, two major distinctions have
been made:
**Bodypart removal/insertion**
Called only when an organ is taken out of a bodypart. Bodypart overlays,
damage modifiers or other changes that should affect a bodypart itself
goes here.
**Mob insertion/removal**
Called when an organ is removed from a mob. This can either be directly,
by taking the organ out of a mob, or by removing the bodypart that
contains the organ. This lets you add and remove organ effects safely
without having to worry about the bodypart.
Now that we controle the movement of bodyparts and organs, we can fuck
around with them more. Summoning someones head or chest or heart will
actually kill them now (and quite violently I must say (chest summoning
gibs lol)).
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/7501474/5efc9dd3-cfd5-4ce4-b70f-d0d74894626e
I´ve also added a unit test that violently tears apart and reconstructs
a person in different ways to see if they get put toghether the right
way
This will definitely need a testmerge. I've done a lot of testing to
make sure interactions work, but more niche stuff or my own incompetence
can always slip through.
## Why It's Good For The Game
<!-- Argue for the merits of your changes and how they benefit the game,
especially if they are controversial and/or far reaching. If you can't
actually explain WHY what you are doing will improve the game, then it
probably isn't good for the game in the first place. -->
A lot of organ work is quite restricted. You can't C4 someones heart,
you cant summon their organs and a lot of exceptions have to be made to
keep organs in nullspace. This lets organs (and bodyparts) play more
nicely with the rest of the game. This also makes it a lot easier to
move away from extorgans since a lot of their unique movement code has
been removed and or generalized.
I don't like making PRs of this size (I'm so sorry reviewers), but I was
in a unique position to replace the entire system in a way I couldn't
have done conveniently in multiple PRs

## About The Pull Request
I woke up today and thought 'what would be easy thing to do today so I
can say I've done something?'. Then I remembered I saw several gangtool

later, device.dmi is split in a folder of its own, and I've also given
unique sprites to door remotes and landing desginators.

* Updates signaler investigate code | Adds some nice QOL changes for signalers | Enforces cooldown on signaler circuitry (#78974)
## About The Pull Request
See title.
If someone was abusing signalers previously to cause server lag, going
into list signalers would actually cause even worse lag as byond sat
there and processed thousands of items into a string over and over,
which would cause string format operations on longer and longer strings,
resulting in more and more overhead. This is bad.
So instead there is now a limit to the size of the list, currently I
have that set to 500 although I am open to increasing and even reducing
the number.
I have also made signalers slightly more intuitive by having the
cooldown actually displayed in the ui as a tooltip instead of just being
a secret feature you didnt know about unless you code dived. Also made
the cooldown actually respected by things such as circuitry where it
didnt even implement the cooldown and would happily send as many signals
as you had items connected to your proximity circuit.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Admins won't accidentally kill the server by trying to parse a lag
machines signal list. Players lagging the server? No, how about the
admins trying to fix it!

If someone was abusing signalers previously to cause server lag, going
into list signalers would actually cause even worse lag as byond sat
there and processed thousands of items into a string over and over,
which would cause string format operations on longer and longer strings,
resulting in more and more overhead. This is bad.
So instead there is now a limit to the size of the list, currently I
have that set to 500 although I am open to increasing and even reducing
the number.
I have also made signalers slightly more intuitive by having the
cooldown actually displayed in the ui as a tooltip instead of just being
a secret feature you didnt know about unless you code dived. Also made
the cooldown actually respected by things such as circuitry where it
didnt even implement the cooldown and would happily send as many signals
as you had items connected to your proximity circuit.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Admins won't accidentally kill the server by trying to parse a lag
machines signal list. Players lagging the server? No, how about the
admins trying to fix it!

* Adds pathmaps, refactors pathfinding a bit (#78684)
## About The Pull Request
Implements /datum/pathfind/sssp, which generates /datum/path_map
/datum/path_maps allow us to very efficently generate paths to any turf
they contain from their central point.
We're effectively running the single source shortest paths algorithm.
We expand from the center turf, adding turfs as they're found, and then
processing them in order of addition.
As we go, we remember what turf "found" us first. Reversing this chain
gives us the shortest possible path from the center turf to any turf in
its range (or the inverse).
This isn't all that useful on its own, outside of a few niche cases
(Like if we wanted to get the farthest reachable turf from the center)
but if we could reuse the map more then once, we'd be able to swarm
to/from a point very easily.
Reuse is a bit troublesome, reqiures a timeout system and a way to
compare different movables trying to get paths.
I've implemented it tho. I've refactored CanAStarPass to take a datum,
/datum/can_pass_info. This is built from a movable and a list of access,
and copies all the properties that would impact pathfinding over onto
itself.
There is one case where we don't do this, pathing over openspace
requires checking if we'd fall through the openspace, and the proc for
that takes an atom.
So instead we use the weakref to the owner that we hold onto, and hold
copies of all the values that would impact the check on the datum.
When someone requests a swarmed path their pass info is compared with
the pass info of all other path_maps centered on their target turf. If
it matches and their requested timeout isn't too short, we just reuse
the map.
Timeout is a tricky thing because the longer a map exists the more out
of date it gets.
I've added a few age defines that let you modulate your level of risk
here. We default to only allowing maps that are currently
being generated, or finished generating in our tick.
Hopefully this prevents falling into trouble, but consumers will need to
allow "failed" movements.
As a part of this datumized pass info, I've refactored pathfinding to
use access lists, rather then id cards directly. This also avoids some
dumbass harddel oppertunities, and prevents an idcard from changing mid
path.
Did a few things to the zPass procs, they took args that they did NOT
need, and I thought it'd be better to yeet em.
If you'd all like I could undo the caching/can_pass_info stuff if you'd
all like. I think it's useful generally because it avoids stuff changing
mid pathfind attempt, but if it's too clunky I could nuke it.
Oh also I added optional args to jps that constricts how it handles
diagonals. I've used this to fix bot paths.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Much of this is redundant currently. I'm adding it because it could have
saved hugglebippers, and because I get the feeling it'll be useful for
"grouping" mobs like bees and such.
We're doing more basic mob work currently and I want to provide extra
tools for that work.

## Changelog
🆑
add: Adds swarmed pathfinding, trading accuracy for potential
optimization of used correctly
fix: Bots will no longer take diagonal paths, preventing weirdo looking
path visuals
refactor: Refactored bits of pathfinding code, hopefully easier to add
new pathfinding strategies now
