## About The Pull Request
In similar fashion to what was done with crafting recipes last year,
this year it's time for techweb designs and printed items to be audited.
This is mostly just about consistency, we've a lot of items that can be
printed by protolathes, autolathes, circuit printers and techfab etc.
However they almost all (except most stacks, mainly) have custom
materials that do not match in one way or another with the materials
used by the design, which is what this PR is for.
"But items printed from lathes etc. already get the mats used to make
them." Yes, they do, however that isn't the case for items of the same
type that were spawned in some other way (cargo shuttle, space/maints
loot, mapped, admins), this create a subtle discrepancy. It isn't a huge
deal (in spite of the size of this PR, ton of designs), but given that I
have done something similar with crafting recipes before, I may as well
give it a second arc of some sort and bring things to completion. And
fix a few possible oversights.
TL;DR consistency and stuff
## Why It's Good For The Game
Consistency, unit test checks to make it harder not to be consistent in
the future. Still has a few TODOs like:
- [x] Fixed newly printed, fully charged RCDs costing less than the RCD
cartridges required to fully charge one. EDIT: I had to tweak the newly
added RDD as well because it suffered from the same fundamental issue.
- [x] Fixed plates being made of iron and yet shattering like ceramic
ones. A new subtype for metallic ones has been made.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Refactored a few things with techweb designs (the ones for
autolathes, protolathes, circuit printers, mechfabs etc.) to make sure
that the materials of items that can be made from these designs more
closely match the materials used to make them.
fix: Lizard fries no longer need a plate to be made, like all other
treats that used to require plates in a distant past.
balance: Tweaked the materials cost of RCD, RDD and RCD cartridges.
image: Oven trays now have a more metallic hue.
balance: Plates printed printed from lathes won't shatter like ceramic
ones, in virtue of them being made out of iron instead.

## About The Pull Request
What it says on the tin-- with having a nice abstract types system now,
we can utilize that in create_and_destroy.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Removes a lot of the need for snowflake item exclusions, and makes this
test likely a lot more stable (and a little faster even).
## Changelog
Not player-facing
## About The Pull Request
Just improves the new material unit test, making it more copy-paste
friendly when dealing with large amounts of things to change.
It now also calculates the appropriate sheet material value for you too
so you quite literally just have to copy paste the line and you're done,
no more having to do math yourself.

## About The Pull Request
Extends the part of the crafting unit test that ensures consistency
between the total mats of the components of a recipe (or rather, the
result of said recipe) and a generic instance of the same type as its
result, previously only implemented on food recipes.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This ensures a degree of consistency with the material composition of
various objects in the game. I couldn't do it in the original PR as that
one was too big already and it took months to get it merged, and have
the relative bugs fixed.
Currently a WIP as I slowly deal with the unit test reports.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Follow-up to the crafting/material refactor from months ago.
All objects crafted with stacks now inherit their mat composition (not
necessarily the effects and color) by default, while previously only a
few things like chair, sinks and toilets did. Report any object looking
or behaving weirdly as a result.
fix: The material composition of ammo boxes is no longer a 1/10 of what
it's supposed to be. It was a shitty hack to make it harder to recycle
empty ammo boxes. Instead, they lose materials as they're emptied now.

## About The Pull Request
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.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Improving the backbone of the crafting system. Also materials and food
code.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Refactored crafting backend. Report possible pesky bugs.
balance: the MEAT backpack (from the MEAT cargo pack) may be a smidge
different because of code standardization.
