## About The Pull Request
Removes a damage modifier introduced for a feature that's been long
removed.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Floating mobs are currently suffering a higher damange slowdown than
walking, this was apparently changed in this PR
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/20860
This distinction was introduced to balance flight suits, a feature has
long been removed, therefore we no longer need this modifier.

## About The Pull Request
This PR enables most mobs to take stamina damage, become slowed as a
result of taking stamina damage.
It also gives most mobs CANSTUN which not only allows them to enter
stamcrit from taking stamina damage but also makes them vulnerable to
mechanics like stun batons.
Mobs which already took stamina damage (Spiders and Space Dragons) still
work the same way.
Mechanical or artificial mobs, mining mobs, simple xenomorphs, ghosts,
and most kinds of mob closely associated with antagonists still don't
take stamina damage.
## Why It's Good For The Game
A new player armed with a disabler will probably try and use it on
aggressive animals and be disappointed, but I don't think there is any
_reason_ for them to be disappointed when it's already something they
are doing merely to delay being attacked rather than to kill the target.
It's not intuitive for these mechanics not to function against simple
mobs when they do against humans, _especially_ the kinds of mobs which
look like humans, and there isn't any technical reason why it _couldn't_
work against most mobs which it looks like they should work against.
While this reduces the threat level of some mobs against Security
players I think the greater interaction with the sandbox is beneficial.
I'm hopeful it doesn't have that much effect on many of the most common
places you encounter dangerous mobs like Space Ruins or Gateways as they
are also places where you can't reliably recharge your energy-based
stamina weapons as most that don't require energy do require getting
into melee and endangering yourself.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Most biological mobs are now slowed by taking stamina damage,
and can be stunned. Mechanical mobs, mining mobs, and several other
special kinds (chiefly those invoked by antagonists) are unaffected. If
this seems to effect any mob it probably shouldn't, please report it as
a bug.

## About The Pull Request
This PR allows you to extract tail organs from xenomorphs and surgically
attach xenomorph tails to people.
(Despite being a carbon the xenomorph sprite is not built out of
component overlays so this technically does not remove the tail from its
corpse sorry).
Having a xenomorph tail makes you better at tackling, changes your
tackle verb to "pounce" like if you are a felinid, and also gives you
the parkour benefits of the Freerunning quirk.
You can also surgically attach a xenomorph _queen_'s tail to someone.
This arguably is a bad idea because it makes you slower (it's much too
heavy) but it does give you access to the queen's tail spin attack
(after which you will fall over if you aren't inhumanly strong). Also
more importantly, it is comically large.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Look I'm racking my brain but this one really mostly comes down to "it's
funny to do this".
But let's pretend that it also increases the depth and complexity of the
sandbox and promotes interesting interactions between crewmembers or
something like that.
Ideally sometimes in the future we will either decide that xenomorphs
are not carbons (is it purely because they have organs?) or decide that
they _are_ carbons and build them accordingly. In the latter case this
will have been a useful addition.

add: You can transplant xenomorph tails onto people.

## About The Pull Request
This more or less ties with my previous PR where I fix some of the
issues I've seen with fishing, because both are the result of some live
playtesting in which I assessed some flaws and nits. So, let's get
started:
Lowered the number of fish to scan for each fish scanning experiment:
This is the most time-gating feature of fishing. As a scientist you're
usually better off doing anything else than this anyway, which is
understandable, but for whoever else that plans to get some nice ocean
fish, this is going to be a huge bummer. From 4, 8, 14, 21 to 3, 7, 11,
17.
Switched the ocean and chasm portal setting: Right now, the ocean portal
has the largest amount of catchable creatures, which can also help
progress the experiments, while the chasm setting only has two and is
only mildly useful for chasm chrabs --> lobstrosities (which suffer a
bit from not having a good enough AI right now). I hope I'll have the
time to add some late fishes to the chasm setting at some point.
Added a premapped fishing portal generator to the common service room of
every map: It takes quite some time to setup fishing. Making a fishing
portal is by far what I consider to be the most tedious part. Also Wawa
and Birdshot were also missing the aquarium kit. On a side-note I
realized some days ago that service jobs receive very good discounts on
the fishing items sold by the good clean vendor.
Added the fish puns speech modifier to fish-infused gills: I forgot to
do it when I made the PR. Shrimple as that.
Mild fish infusion tweaks: Lowered the crawling speed very sightly, but
buffed showers and water healing slightly. Drinking water now wets you
by about 1/4 of what splashing it would do.
Buffed fishing difficulty modifiers for items and chairs a little: For
the time and credits invested, buying a carp costume or whatever to be
slightly better at fishing doesn't seem that profitable, and I reckon I
was being a bit conservative with the values. Fishing is a considerable
time investment already, especially in the initial stage with the setup.
Also idk why sunglasses and thermals buff fishing while fish are
technically cold-blooded creatures so I removed the comp from them.
Added fishing rods and fish cases designs to cargo and science lathes:
Other base fishing designs are shared between the three departments,
while these two are only available for service (and autolathes
obviously).
Fishing skill now affects completion gain and not only completion loss:
Fishing as a feature has a slower pace than most things in the game. It
feels right that by the time you reach about legendary level, you get to
complete the minigame a bit faster.
## Why It's Good For The Game
To put it briefly, the feature feels right as a casual experience,
however time is very much against you and getting something done takes
some effort (especially on tram, where moving to and fro' departments is
almost like playing froggers at times)
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
I'm adding a new infusion ~~(actually four, but two of them are just
holders for specific organs tied to a couple fish traits)~~ to the game.
As the title says, it's about fish.
The infusion is composed of three primary organs, plus another few that
can be gotten from fish with specific traits.
The primary organs are:
- Gills (lungs): Instead of breathing oxygen, you now need to stay wet
or breathe water vapor.
- fish-DNA infused stomach: Can safely eat raw fish.
- fish tail: On its own, it only speeds you up on water turfs, but it
has another effect once past the organ set threshold. It also makes you
waddle and flop like a fish while crawling (I still gotta finish sprites
on this one)
Other organs are:
- semi-aquatic lungs: A subtype of gills from fish with the 'amphibious'
trait, falls back on oxygen if there's no water. Can also be gotten from
frogs, axolotl and crabs.
- fish-DNA infused liver: From fish with the 'toxic' trait. Uses
tetrodotoxin as a healing chem instead of a toxin. Also better tolerance
to alcohol if you want to drink like a fish (ba dum tsh).
- inky tongue: From fish with the 'ink production' trait. Gives mobs the
ability to spit ink on a cooldown, blinding and confusion foes
temporarily.
The main gimmick of this infusion revolves around being drenched in
water to benefit from it, In the case you get the gills organ, this also
becomes a necessity, to not suffocate to death (alternatively, you can
breathe water vapor, without any benefit). To enable the bonus of the
organs set, three organs need to be infused. They can be gills, stomach,
tail and/or liver, while the inky tongue doesn't count towards it.
Once the threshold is reached, the following bonus are enabled:
- Wetness decays a lot slower and resists fire a bit more.
- Ink spit becomes stronger, allowing it to very briefly knock down
foes.
- Fishing bonuses and experience
- Resistance to high pressures
- Slightly expanded FOV
- drinking water and showers mildly heal you over time.
- for felinids: You won't hate getting sprayed by water or taking a
shower.
- While wet:
- - If the fish tail is implanted, crawling speed is boosted.
- - You no longer slip on wet tiles.
- - You also become slippery when lying on the floor.
- - You get a very mild damage resistance and passive stamina
regeneration, and cool down faster.
- - You resist grabs better.
- - get a very weak positive moodlet.
- However, being dry will make you quite squisher, especially against
fire damage, slower and give you a modest negative moodlet.
While working on it, I've also noticed a few things that explained why
tetrodotoxin (TTX) did jackshit at low doses, because livers have a set
toxin tolerance value, below which, any amount of toxin does nothing.
Also I've felt like reagents like multiver & co were a bit too strong
against a reagent that's supposed to work at very low doses, with slow
metabolization, so I've added a couple variables to buff TTX a bit,
making it harder to purge and resistant to liver toxin tolerance (also
added a bit of lungs damage).
## Why It's Good For The Game
I wanted to take a shot at coding a DNA infusion and see how chock-full
I could make it. DNA infusions are like a middle point between "aha,
small visual trinket" and organs with generally ok effects. I seek to
make something a bit more complex ~~(also tied to fishing ofc because
that's more or less the recurrent gag of my recent features)~~ primaly
focused around the unique theme of being strong when wet and weaker when
dry.
EDIT: The PR is now ready, have a set of screenshots of the (fairly mid)
fish tails (and gills, barely visible) on randomly generated spessman
and one consistent joe:

## About The Pull Request
Added Untie Shoes. This is a wizard spell that's seemingly weak but has
some power under the surface.
The first level unties, then knots shoes.
The second level allows you to tie jackboots and the like.
The third level allows you to summon shoes if the target has none.
And, for the true pranksters out there, the fourth level makes
invocations silent and gestureless.
Also, it always slows noncarbons down a bit.
It's also given to clowns after Jubilation, and the wizard themself, at
max level for the latter, if they dont have it already.
### Why would you ever pick this??
Knotted shoes make the wearer unable to walk without being stunned and
tripping on the floor. Let that sink in! Anyone hit twice by the spell
is forced to crawl around or risk stepping on broken glass. Worse, they
need to go through a looong process to untie their shoes to even drop
them.
This spell has infinite range, although casting from beyond screen range
or through zlevels multiplies the cooldown by ten, which is excellent
for softening up targets.
It's a 1-point, ranged, supportive spell with low cooldown, which makes
it excellent as a deterrent for harassing wizards at long range -
something they often lack answers to.
It's great for whittling down antimagic charges.
It's funny.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This spell is silly, comical, yet also very versatile and adds a rather
large amount of depth to Wizard while also expanding on shoe knotting,
which is inherently funny and rarely looked at.
I also wanted it to work through camera consoles because that's
EXTREMELY funny. The long cooldown should prevent it from being too
annoying.

## About The Pull Request
After months of preparation, and further months of work, I am finally
done. Please bear with me, as this is a massive refactor, but I have
already atomized everything I could. This is now ready for review.
General
- The hilbert hotel slimes are now a subtype instead of a varedit.
- The `use_mob_ability` subtree now also accepts non cooldown abilities.
If set_behaviours is set up properly, mobs won't keep continously
triggering it as if it were a 0 second cooldown action. The alternative
would have been turning the slime abilities into cooldown abilities.
- Wrestling off a slime now signs up to the `COMSIG_ATOM_ATTACK_HAND`
signal, instead of being part of attack_hand.
- Adds datum/ai_controller/controller as a fourth, optional argument to
`/datum/ai_behavior/find_hunt_target/valid_dinner()` to make it possible
to access blackboard keys.
- Slimes no longer attack windows if they would accidentally move into
them (when the conditions are met), since random walk behaviour ignores
tiles they can't go in. It was also not worth to keep. Did you know this
was the sole override of `ObjBump()`?
- Examine was made less snowflaky/bespoke. Also added a new element:
`/datum/element/basic_health_examine`, which is a simple bespoke element
that prints out a custom message based on how damaged the basic mob it
is attached to is.
- Slimes only perform knockdown instead of paralysis, as they can attack
more often now, and paralysis is not that fun.
- LAssailant has been removed due being archaic code. To befriend a
slime, you have to spawn a monkey with the slime console, or feed them a
sheet of plasma. Simple grabbing the monkey or stuffing them in
disposals do not work anymore. Slime console spawned monkeys will have a
visible status effect, with pheromones coming off them to make this
clearer.
Actions
- Feeding, reproduction and evolution is no longer a verb.
- Slime feeding is no longer an action button. You have to use right
click, or as previously, mousedrop. Slimes can always unbuckle from mobs
they are attached to.
Hunger
- Instead randomly changing the starvation and max nutrition values
while growing up, evolution costs 200 nutrion. This makes the code more
readable, and behaviour more predictable, while still giving the
intended time between evolving and splitting. As a result, I could also
turn these into defines.
- Added a component that handles doing an effect over time while buckled
to a mob, until the mob dies or you get unbuckled.
- Slimes gained nutrition is no longer randomly multiplied by the damage
config value, but rather gain nutrition equal to twice the damage dealt.
You'll have to eat one monkey to evolve, just as before.
- Slimes do not heal passively. They only heal from eating. It was a
rather miniscule value that did not have much effect.
- Slimes generate electricity from hunger threshold, instead of the
random amount of hunger threshold + 100.
Environment
- Slimes take 15 damage from cold every second, instead of using a
complex formula (that also decreased the damage up to a point?).
- Slimes still heal from burn damage, but this is now set on the damage
coefficient list.
- Slimes instead of getting stunned by the cold, freeze in an ice cube.
BZ instead of setting them unconscious, calls the stasis status effect,
allowing you to safely stash your hungry slimes for later. They also no
longer slow down from the cold, as they are already slowed down by the
damage they get. Conversely they no longer get a speed up from a random
amount of temperature. I could be convinced to readd this either as part
of the basic sensitive component, or a similar one.
AI
- Removed the attacked_stacks system. Slimes will just perform regular
retaliation if you hit them in a harmful manner.
- Slimes now use the pet orders component. They will interrupt their
feeding when given a command by their master.
- Slimes have their own subtrees. I tried to replicate as much as I
could from the old code, dividing ancient code artifacts and intentional
stuff, so there might be some weirdness.
- Slime speech has been almost fully reduced to basic blorbing, as you
can not even understand them anymore, and most of them require the slime
to loop through all of their surroundings.
- Discipline does not have stacks either. Disciplined baby slimes have a
chance to clear their attack and hunt blackboard keys. All slimes will
stop feeding on the target otherwise.
- Since discipline is not a stack, rabidity instead gets removed at a
10% chance per disciplining.
- Slimes faces are a bit more randomly picked now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
- We want to convert all simple animals to basic mobs. Old slime code
was also very strange, and had some systems that have been replicated by
components.
- Slimes fully paralyzing you is not fun at all. Knockdown should give
you a fighting chance when a slime would like to eat you.
- Slimes slow down from the heavy damage they get from the cold, so I
don't think they need extra slowdown, nor do they need to speed up from
warmth, as they are already fast.
- Slimes turning into an icecube instead of becoming paralyzed from the
cold is more fun for the slimes, as they can break out for a few
moments. It is also funny.
- Slimes entering proper stasis from BZ is not just a visual indicator
of a slime that is safe to approach, but also keeps the slimes's hunger
value in check, allowing it to not starve while stopped. They can also
look around and blorble, instead of staring at a black screen, if player
controlled.
- The attack_stack and discipline_stack behaviours were rather
overcomplicated, and the xenobio mains I talked with didn't even know it
was a thing, so I argue it needed simplification.
- The bespoke friendship system of slimes was also too complicated.
Slimes slowly gained levels of trust, and at certain levels commands
costed friendship, and other levels, they did not. The binary friend/not
friend system that everything else in the game uses is much more
sensible.
- Using right click for feeding is much more sensible than using an
action, and then picking someone from a dropdown.
- Slime speech was very soulful but not only did it loop through
everything in sight, you couldn't even understand it unless you spoke
slime. Maybe it can be readded later in a different form.
- Slime's passive healing was miniscule, and having them rely on feeding
is more interesting.

them unconscious. Their speed is likewise unchanged by temperatures.

fix: Slimes can use the buckling screen alert to unbuckle and stop
feeding, along with clicking on the mob they are riding

## About The Pull Request
### Tackling Outcomes
Tackling now determines success based on outcome categories. These are
derived from the typical attacker/defender roll that would have
previously determined the outcome on its own. A negative roll results in
a negative outcome, a positive roll a positive outcome, and a result of
exactly 0 resulting in a neutral outcome.
The result of your roll are then passed along to the relevant proc to
determine severity. The derived roll is multiplied by 10 (or -10 for the
negative roll to get a positive value to roll with). Then we see if our
final roll fits a severity bracket. Negative outcomes will roll to
determine their outcome, and potentially could roll a less severe
outcome than what our first roll would suggest.
For positive outcomes, the defender's melee armor reduces the severity
of the outcome.
For negative outcomes, the attacker's melee armor improves the potential
outcome and at least prevents more severe backlash. It'll still be
negative, you can't move from a negative outcome to a positive outcome
just from good armor.
Most of the outcomes are fairly similar to the current outcomes, but
with the inclusion of staggering one or both parties to make the
subsequent potential grabs _stickier_, if that makes sense.
Neutral is now a mutual stagger, but also the tackler being left
upright. It's effectively net zero.
### Blocking
Blocking is checked on impact, and results in a neutral outcome if the
defender successfully blocks. This means our tackler isn't too severely
impacted from an unsuccessful tackle
### Additional Changes
Your arms ``unarmed_effectiveness`` now contributes to the attack mod
and defense mod of tackles. For humans tackling humans, this often
results in a net neutral result. But if you have a better arm, or the
tackle target has worse arms, this can alter the outcome significantly.
Any tackler with the trait TRAIT_NOGUNS (like bezerkers, Sleeping Carp
users or the very unlikely chance ninjas are tackling while wearing
their armor) gains a bonus to their tackles.
Any suit that prevents shove knockdowns grants an attack bonus, and not
just riot armor. This now includes Mk.1 Swat suits, the ones from the
SWAT crate in cargo.
Settlers are vulnerable to tackles, much like their dwarf cousins.
They're also just as bad at tackles.
Security lockers come with gripper gloves, and the sec vendor has 5 sets
of gripper gloves as standard items. They also have a +1 skill bonus.
This should encourage people to use tackling a bit more without having
to always seek out the best gear to accomplish the task. (particularly
since security is inherently pretty good at tackling with the outcome
changes).
The HoS gets a pair of gorilla gloves in his garment bag. If he wants
them.
The shove slowdown is now a new status effect, Staggered. This is just
better functionality overall. Any instance of adding the shove slowdown
now makes our target staggered.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Tackling is a bit outdated, to say the least. Not much content has been
added for a while that isn't strictly meme content. With these changes,
tackling should be slightly more nuanced, considering elements such as
unarmed effectiveness, the presence of martial arts, and actually
properly checking block rather than notionally checking block. There is
also more opportunity to protect yourself from tackle outcomes, both
positive and negative.
It also should be a little fairer to be on the receiving end of tackles
if you have taken the time to layer up defenses against it. Attackers
often overwhelmed defenders due to numbers favoring attackers more than
defenders.
Closes some really outdated design that was resulting in some really
bizarre behaviour with regards to layered defenses against attack not
having the same meaning against tackles, if only because it was looking
for the wrong things and not even the correct parts of what it was
looking for. Namely, blocking and shielding.
The inclusion of more gripper gloves and a good outcome from using them
will hopefully incentivize people to consider tacking as a useful tool,
if a bit risky still due to the splat mechanics.
## Changelog

midnight infomercials shilling his extremely expensive Tackle Supreme
Judo Karate Training video tapes. Unable to pass up a 'bargain',

severe.

a neutral outcome.
add: Unarmed effectiveness from arms now contributes to attacking with

1. Spiders now slow down equivalent to their health
2. Tarantulas can no longer put web passages or solid webs and destroy
walls outside of charge attack
3. Young spiders now cant pull objects do to being too weak and become
slower outside of webs as they should be
4. Makes pneumatic airlock seal unable to be destroyed by spiders
5. All Broodmother eggs now have a cooldown timer
Normal Eggs: 20 seconds
Abnormal Eggs: 180 Seconds
Enriched Eggs: 60 seconds
Expansions
1. Added a new abnormal egg category
2. Broodmothers can now lay abnormal eggs
3. 2 new spiders added
6. A new web type: Reflective silk screen
# Breacher
- Low damaging with High wound bonuses meant to debilitate enemies to
take ground for the nest
- Has the ability to breach areas by destroying walls with menson vision
to map out strategic breachings
- Immune to harsh environments with the ability to lay solid webs to
protect the nest environment
- Can send in warnings for the entire nest to hear
Will Help the nest get out of being closed off by small construction
attempts and fix some space breaches plus some back up by making enemies
slower and scarring them off with some bloodloss
# Tank
- Extremely low damaging build to absorb damage to hold ground for the
nest
- With the ability to lay down silk screen reflectors to protect the
nest from missile attacks
- Can heal itself at a slow rate
Will provide great support to keep the nest at bay from range attacks at
some extent and act as a damage absorber in dier situations
# Abnormal Eggs
- They can only be made once every 180 Seconds
- Hold the two new spider types
## Why It's Good For The Game
New spiders to contribute to the general spider antag team dynamic,
balances for spiders are always good making them funner to play against
and bringing up challenges on their gameplay making them act less like
murdering simple mobs and more like an actual nest trying to survive in
the station.
How?
1. **Cooldown egg laying:** broodmothers now have to be more strategic
on where they place their eggs with an average of 3 eggs per minute per
broodmother
2. **Spider slowdown on damage:** Spiders now will become slower the
longer they stay out of the nest in battle making them have to retreat
back to the nest shortening their time out murdering giving incentives
to expand the nest
3. **Spider More Brute Damage:** Gives a reason to use melee against
spiders although more dangerous it gives more reward due to the higher
damage outputs since spiders are pretty much big bugs with delicate
bodies no bones no good structural consistency equal more damage to
blunt attacks
4. **Tarantula Nerfs:** Tarantulas shouldnt be able to destroy this many
walls at this rate and be able to lay so many defensive webs I don't
know why they had this abilities but their strong enough as is

## About The Pull Request
This feature was added in #75819 but didn't work, for two reasons.
Reason one: it was checking for throwing impact on the "I got shot by a
bullet" proc and then checking the throwforce of a bullet (generally 0,
because you don't throw those).
Reason two: the duration was throwforce / 10 seconds. This would apply a
slowdown which was usually one or fewer seconds, which might as well not
exist.
The solution to this is to assign it to the correct proc and give it a
flat duration for anything over a threshold of damage.
Currently this is 3 seconds for anything with 10 or more force (such as
the humble iron rod). You can reapply it by just throwing more stuff.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cyborgs don't suffer health-based slowdown like humans.
This is good because cyborg combat should be similar to humans, but bad
because our move speed config is so ludicrously high that it makes
fighting anyone at full speed a real pain in the ass.
Since flashes have been nerfed to require two clicks in order to stun a
cyborg, you have to be able to catch them to apply the second click.
Throwing something at them should make this more likely.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Throwing things at cyborgs will now slow them down, as intended
balance: Adjusted the calculation of throwforce -> slowdown for cyborgs
such that it is simply a flat duration for anything above a certain
damage threshold (the value of throwing iron rods)

## About The Pull Request
Adds the Settler quirk. This gives you bonuses to taming animals and
fishing, as well as making you gain hunger slower than others.
However, you are quite a bit slower than most people, and have trouble
with vaulting objects. You do, however, suffer significantly less from
equipment slowdown. (to the point that it is almost zero)
Settler riders are faster on their mounts than others if they're at
least sane. They start to slow down if they're less sane.
You are also shorter than most people.

<summary>Typical Settler encounters the typical Spacer</summary>
</details>
## Why It's Good For The Game
I wanted to add a lightweight quirk that was kind of the 'opposite' of
Spacer, but a little more focused on interacting with elements of the
game world that would enjoy some attention. So, I thought 'what about an
outdoorsman quirk?'
So, I based it around being from people who lived out on the rim, under
unideal circumstances (and probably heavier gravity than Earth), and
taming the land. The slower movespeed encourages finding an animal to
tame that you can ride, and the bonuses to taming should help make that
a bit easier. The other additions just made sense for someone living it
a bit rough in the wilderness.
Having a bunch of settlers taming cows and riding around on them all
shift just kind of sounds hilarious to me.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Settler quirk! Conqueror the great outdoors....in space. Just make
sure nobody asks you to get anything from the top shelf.

## About The Pull Request
This one is a double feature because Watchers and Basilisks share the
same typepath. You might see a couple more of those.
As is tradition I decided to fuck with them rather than just port them.
Here's what's up.
**Basilisks**
- Have a new soulless sprite which looks less like a living blue hedge.
- Walk at you and shoot you while you are not in range (just like
before).
- Become supercharged if they become "heated" by lava, lasers, or
temperature weapons. This was a feature they also previously had but
they would never encounter lava, so now it also works if you use the
wrong gun on them.
- Lose their supercharge if you cool them down.
- Otherwise pretty normal mobs.
**Watchers**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOq_Bf78k5A
Here's a traditional video of me intentionally getting hit by mechanics
(trust me its definitely on purpose)
- They glow emmissively a little bit so you can see them from further
away.
- Their eyes light up about 0.5 seconds before they are able to shoot at
you.
- No longer melee attack, instead try to stay out of melee.
- Will occasionally put you into "Overwatch", meaning they will shoot
you rapidly if you move or act while they're staring at you for a brief
time period (after which you become immune for 12 seconds, and during
which other watchers will play fair and stop shooting at you).
- If they start taking damage they will also start using their "Gaze"
attack, look away or suffer some kind of negative effect!
- - Normal watcher gaze flashes and confuses you.
- - Magmawing watcher gaze obviously burns (and briefly stuns) you.
- - Icewing watcher gaze freezes you and throws you backwards.
- Magnetically attract and eat diamonds. They also used to do this, but
just if they happened to coincidentally walk past some.
**Other accompanying changes**
All basic mobs will now adopt the "stop gliding" trait if they get
slowed down too much.
I moved behaviour for "fire a projectile from this atom" into a helper
proc because I was using it in three places and I will probably use it
in more places. There are probably other places in the existing code
which could be using this.
I think I made the basic mob melee attack forecast default a little more
forgiving, they were fucking me up too much and I am the playtester.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Another one off the list.
New tricks for old dogs.
Framework for making mobs with ranged attacks "fairer" (you can see when
they are ready to shoot you).
More (hopefully) versatile AI behaviours which we will reuse later (I
hope I'm not duplicating one someone already made).
If our players "enjoy" them enough we can give more mobs "don't look at
me" mechanics.
Removes some soul sprites.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Basilisks and Watchers now use the basic mob framework. Please
bug report any unusual behaviour.
sprite: Basilisks have new sprites.
add: Basilisks will go into a frenzy if heated by energy weapons or
temperature beams as well as by lava.
add: Watcher eyes will be illuminated briefly when they are ready to
fire at you.
add: Watchers can now briefly put you into "Overwatch" and penalise you
for moving while they can see you.
add: Wounded watchers will occasionally punish players who look at them.
balance: Unusual watcher variants are more likely to appear.

## About The Pull Request
This pr adds a young spiders that appear between spiderlings and adult
spiders. Now spiders have a stage where they are squishy but can also
spin webs and do some other things early depending on the spider type.
Spiderling stage takes 40 seconds and young spider stage take 1 minute,
ealier for spiderling this was 1 minute. Also adds a new wizard spider
sprite and makes the spider form usable.
Gives Wizard Spider version has better immunity against fire since it
can kill a wizard very fast it they are not paying attention.
Makes tangle spider get more health but makes the self-healing worse.
This is done because spider is a team antag except for the flesh
(changeling spider), making it so solo-playing as tangle is less
encouraged.
Scout spiderling gets thermal vision also. It cannot communicate, but it
can already start scouting now.
Viper deals bonus damage when an enemy is on low health. Toxins don't
kill humans anymore, and since the viper spider only deals 5 damage now
it deals more so it can actually take down enemies at low health. They
also have a little more health since they always die very fast. Viper
can also change between a defensive/slow mode with more armor or a
offensive/speed mode with less armor.
Nurse spider heals for 25 instead of 20, since 25 is one laser shot, it
makes more sense for the nurse spider to be able to heal that amount.
Flesh spider grows faster since they are a solo antag and spawn killing
isn't cool.
Tarantula spider can now tear down walls by clicking them instead of
needing to use their charge attack. They can also build wall webs and
passage webs. Their damage coeffs also got the regular burn factor for
spider so their health also increased a bit.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Now there is a smooth transition between the tiny spiderling and the
bigger spider stage. This will promote people to help the hive at an
earlier stage while not being too powerful yet. It is also realistic and
adds extra flavor to the spider antag. The other balance changes are
improvements to the game.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Young Spiders that appear between spiderlings and adult spiders.
balance: Wizard Spider version has better immunity against temp damage
and can lay webs faster.
balance: Tangle Spider sucks more with self-healing but has more health.
balance: Scout spiderling gets thermal vision.
balance: Viper deals bonus damage when an enemy is below 20% health.

## About The Pull Request
Fikou noticed that Goliaths change their targets semi-randomly, this is
because the element I was using to curtail their movement caused the AI
pathfinding to fail and cancel the current action.
While investigating this I also realised that just "not gliding" makes
more sense than what I was doing anyway, and has fewer weird side
effects (like being unable to move diagonally).
At some point it would probably be sensible to figure out what speeds
make gliding look stupid and automatically apply this trait to
characters (maybe only basic ones rather than humans?) moving that
slowly, however I will do that in a future PR.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More reliable AI behaviour.
Better QoL when actually playing as a Goliath.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Goliaths no longer intermittently reset their target and retarget
something else.
fix: Goliaths can once again step diagonally.

## About The Pull Request
This PR rebalances borg combat. It is first part of broader set of
changes that I talked about with armhullen, which was then discussed in
discord player project channel. Ultimately arm decided to rewrite the
complete rebalance and grab combat, but to help with testing, and to
measure reaction to that changes, I wrote this much smaller change, that
should be usable as a TMd test.
Main points that changed:
- Flashing cyborgs for the first time blinds them, and scrambles their
movement. Flashing them while they are blinded immobilizes them as it
used to, but still allows them to talk, and use radio.
- Emping cyborgs still turns them completely off, but the code behind is
_slightly_ changed, because of how utterly incomprehensible cyborg code
is
- Borg stunarm deals 60 stamina damage, costs 200 energy (SUBJECT TO
CHANGE AS SOON AS I DECIDE ON HOW TO), and applies confusion,
stuttering, and jittering.
- Robot consoles used by humans can now lock down only one borg at a
time, they exhibit increased power draw while doing so. The borg is also
informed of the location of the console. If left alone, the borg will
unlock itself in 10 minutes, to avoid leaving it permanently locked down
in some faraway place. If the console gets destroyed (or depowered), the
borg will get unlocked
- laser pointer only blinds borgs, without the paralyze component. If
you flash a borg blinded this way it will paralyze it, so comboing it is
possible.
- Throwing things at borgs slows them down
Not planned, but possible if testing shows its required:
- Changing borg health to malfunctions
- Whatever people convince me to add
- Portable lockdown solution for sec, or a way for them to do basic
check on borg.
- Usage of bucket/something else to restrict radio usage of cyborg
If you have ideas what would make this change better please use [discord
channel](https://discord.com/channels/326822144233439242/1113145741788065924),
or comments. Almost everything that I wrote here is subject to change,
as requested or suggested.
### DISCLAIMER
I had to change few functions in background of how borgs work. This WILL
have changes I couldn't predict, since some of them aren't linked in any
obvious way in code. I am aware of that, and will try fixing what needs
fixing when pointed out.
PS: Borg code is a nightmare
## Why It's Good For The Game
Borg combat sucks. It is absolutely binary, there is 0 capacity for
talking, because both sides fear losing in one click. Sec can't really
feasibly ask the borg to state laws while flashed, so their only
solution is to kill it and revive it.
- Turning most instastun solutions into less lethal versions should
lessen the pressure, since it reduces the chance that person that reacts
first survives.
- It causes minor reduction in traitor's capacity to emag borgs with
only a flash, but EMPs still hardstun, and they are plentiful both in
uplink, and in ghetto form, so that shouldn't be a problem.
- Since it allows borgs to scream for help while being flashed, it also
increases the potential of AI helping it, or at least noticing its
death.
- Lockdown console changes reduce its capability in completely turning
off malf ai, and leave it still highly capable of being an useful tool
in stopping emagged cyborgs.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Flashing borgs requires two consecutive flashes to fully
immobilize
balance: Flashed borgs can speak
balance: Remote lockdown on cyborgs lasts 180 seconds
balance: Cyborg stun arm works like normal baton, and costs less energy

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#76484
Then I noticed some weird stuff which slipped through the PR and poked
at that too.
- Spiderlings and Spiders once more have names ending in (###)
- Removed an unused property on Spiderlings.
- Rewrote the descriptions for a bunch of web-abilities and web-objects
to be clearer and have better capitalisation.
- Refactored the "Web Carcass" ability to not extend from "lay web" as
it didn't need to perform most of that behaviour.
- Also I renamed it and made the description give you a hint about why
you would want to instantly spawn a statue.
- The web effigy now despawns at the same rate as the ability cools down
so you're not dumping spider statues all over the place.
- I made spiderlings move at about the same speed as humans except if
they're on webs in which case they're still pretty fast.
To be honest I am not certain an instant statue spawning button is great
to begin with and I didn't even know it was added to the game but I am
not interested in messing much with the balance for now.
This made me look at spiderlings enough that I'm going to try and make a
new sprite for them that isn't awful.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Lets you differentiate individual spiders a little bit.
Makes usage of abilities clearer.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Guard spider web statues despawn as the ability comes back off
cooldown.
balance: Spiderlings now only move at light speed if they're on webs,
stay safe little guys.
fix: Spiders once again have random numbers after their names.

## About The Pull Request
Alternative to #75277
Kept you waiting, huh?
This PR is the first part of a Xenomorph rework which seeks to make the
big lugs more balanced and up to date with /tg/'s current design. This
mainly involves curtailing xenomorph's infamous hardstuns into more
interactive forms of combat, while also giving some buffs to the
xenomorph's more unique abilities in order to keep them threatening.
Part 1 will focus on simple number changes and some simple mechanic
changes. In the future, changes will be made to endgame involving
xenomorphs, along with changes to other facets of Xenomorphs.
Highly based off of #55937.
Changes:
- Xenomorph disarm has been completely reworked. While a disarm will
attempt to, well, disarm, a human opponent should they be holding
something, it will no longer immediately hardstun targets when they
aren't. Instead, the xenomorph will shove the target several tiles back
and inflict 35 stamina damage. If the target slams into a wall, this
will also come with the added effect of knocking them down. If a human
is incapacitated, however, right click will slam them into the ground,
which paralyzes them for a lengthy 5 seconds (which is ultimately half
the time xenos could stun you for before), allowing for safe transport
back to the nest as long as you keep them close.
- Humans can now shove xenomorphs. Due to being the superior predator,
however, you can't knock down xenomorphs from shoving. You can slow them
for a little bit akin to humans though.
- Neurotoxin no longer is a hardstun. Instead, it deals 50 stamina
damage on contact. It is still resisted by BIO armor.
**HUNTER:**
- Speed reduced from -1 to -0.3.
- Pounce speed is twice as fast as before (1 to 2)
- Hardstun time on pounce reduced from 10 seconds to 5 seconds.
Hunters being insanely fast has been a major balance-ruining factor of
xenomorphs for many years now. These buggers could practically ambush
anyone, hardstun them immediately, and then leave before anyone could do
anything. Now, with their speed nerfed and in combination with the xeno
shove changes, hunters will need to spend more time to down a target.
Their pounce was practically useless, so its been sped up in order to
make it more practical to use.
**SENTINEL**
- Speed reduced from 0 to 0.2
- Cloak alpha reduced from 0.75 to 0.25 (you're more hidden now)
Sentinels receive a large nerf in regards to their spit, but their
before useless cloaking ability has been greatly improved upon as
compensation. They now serve better as defenders and ranged ambushers.
**XENOMORPH DRONE**
- No changes
As in the original PR, drones are perfeclty balanced in my eyes, so no
changes were required.
**XENOMORPH PRAETORIAN**
- Speed increased from 1 to 0.5
- No changes
Praetorians get affected by the nerfs of the other xeno abilities, but
now they're a bit faster in order to close the gap to use their
abilities.
**XENOMORPH QUEEN**
- Speed increased from 3 to 2
- Health increased from 400 to 500
- Damage increased from 20 to 50
Xenomorph queens have been sped up and made more tanky and lethal in
close-range combat. Fighting this beast up-close should be a death
sentence to almost anything else in the game. Speed increases will help
her re-position and close the gap on potential prey.
**OTHER CHANGES**
- Fixed a bug where simplemobs didn't actually use xenomorph's damage
values when they were attacked by them.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Xenomorphs are old, and haven't been updated for quite a long time. This
has left them as sources of a bunch of hardstuns which made counterplay
from a modern spaceman extremely difficult. With these changes, fighting
xenomorphs is more interactive and should end up being more enjoyable
for both crew and xenos. Buffs were also given out to incentivize usage
of xenomorph's unique abilities as opposed to the standard disarm spam
which was most effective for them until now.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Xenos have been rebalanced, removing their hardstuns on their
disarm and neurotoxin, along with a slew of other changes. Xenos have
received buffs to their more unique abilities in return.
fix: Fixed simplemobs ignoring xenomorph's melee damage values when
being attacked by them.
/🆑
Just another lightweight PR porting over a simple animal to the basic
mob framework with zero additional AI implementation (it's a killer
tomato- it spawns into the world to maul you. how much more intricate
does it need to be?).
This PR implements this design document:
https://hackmd.io/@Y6uzGFDGSXKRaWDNicSiEg/BkRr176st
Put briefly, this will remove every existing golem subtype and
consolidate golems into a single species with cool new sprites.
NOT implemented from that PR is the ability to eat Telecrystals, I
couldn't come up with an appropriate visual that can stack with the
existing ones, but that should be a reasonably trivial add for a future
artist & developer.
New Golems have a food-based mechanic where their hunger decays pretty
quickly and can only be replenished by eating minerals. They start
moving slower as they get hungrier, until eventually they become
completely immobilised and need to be rescued.
Eating different kinds of minerals will visually change your sprite and
give you a special effect in a similar way to old golems, but temporary.
While transformed, you can't eat any other kind of mineral which would
transform you (but can still consume glass).
To see the full list of effects, look at the hackmd above.
In service of these sprites working I have refactored the
`species/offset_features` feature by killing it and delegating that
responsibility to limbs instead. Rather than applying an offset to items
due to your species, it is due to your weird head or arms. This makes
overall more sense to me, but it inflates the code changes in this PR
somewhat.
It doesn't make a lot of sense to atomise unfortunately because that
code also seemed to be entirely unused until I tried to use it in this
PR, so you wouldn't be able to tell if my changes broke anything. I
might make a downstream sad by doing this.
All of the actual numbers in this PR are made up and only loosely
tested, it will need some testmerges to gather feedback about whether it
sucks or not.
Other relevant changes:
I reworked how bioscrambling works based off bodypart bodytypes, to
automatically exclude golem limbs in either direction. There's really no
way to have those work on humans or vice versa. Organs still fly though.
## About The Pull Request
Hate having your cables eaten by mice? Nanotrasen have heard your
complaints and settled on a natural, _organic_, and eco-friendly
solution.
When this station trait is active, roundstart and event mouse spawns
have a chance to instead be replaced with duct spiders (both will exist,
it doesn't remove mice).
Duct spiders are largely harmless to humans, actively hunt other
maintenance creatures (such as mice), and have only one _tiny_ downside.
These mobs can also sometimes be spawned by a minor scrubber clog event.
As a side note, all spider basic mobs with AI (except Araneus) will now
try to automatically fill a small area around them with webs.
Also I made it so that mobs will ignore their random_walking behaviour
if they're engaged in a `do_after`, just in case.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Adds a little bit of variety to things which can slightly annoy you in
maintenance.
Spiders will automatically make places they live in look like spiders
live there.
## Changelog
🆑
add: A station trait which sometimes populates maintenance with small
spiders. You can wear them as a hat if you wanted to have a spider on
your head for some reason.
add: Spider mobs will automatically start webbing up their environment.

## About The Pull Request
The netherworld mob refactor PR added a component called `damage_buffs`
which... was both kind of a little bit pointless and also didn't do what
the name said it did.
This adds a new component which actually does what that component
promised to do, and does it more reliably.
The previous system had sort of odd behaviour where a Migo would start
moving faster as it took damage but _only_ if it took damage with an
identifiable mob, so damage from the environment or lava or an explosion
or anything else which doesn't come with someone to blame wouldn't
update the mob, and neither would its health going back _up_... until
someone punched it at which point anything it should have been doing
before then would suddenly update.
This adds a new component which simply listens to
`COMSIG_LIVING_HEALTH_UPDATE` instead of `COMSIG_ATOM_WAS_ATTACKED` and
then interpolates the provided maximum and minimum values smoothly based
on how close you are to a maximum or minimum health threshold.
This is slightly different from the original behaviour which didn't
necessarily have those things change linearly and only did it in
increments of 25%... but this is cleaner.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes some odd behaviour with these mobs.
Hopefully makes the code both cleaner and more reusable in the future.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Migos, Creatures, and Blank Bodies use a new shared component
to update their stats which scales smoothly as they take damage rather
than in stages.
fix: Migos, Creatures and Blank Bodies will all update their stats when
taking or losing damage regardless of it was from an identifiable enemy.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
This PR converts giant spiders into basic mobs and resultingly fixes
#37793
They _should_ have the same behaviour as their simple mob versions
although I can't verify that their movement speeds are _exactly_ the
same. It should at least be pretty close.
A quirk of spiders is that they had a pretty large `move_to_delay` which
made them slow in the hands of AI (because it would just pause for ages
between taking steps) and faster in the hands of players, and they often
appear in both forms so I had to implement this as a speed modifier
based on player control.
Additionally this is the first basic mob which can be set on fire.
This is currently implemented as a var on `mob/living/basic` but I know
there was some annoyance at adding the environment tolerances as vars on
there so if desired I can try and extract it out, I'm just not sure how
easy it will be.
Something else I noticed is that spiders seem to take stamina damage
from bug spray... but stamina damage does nothing to either simple _or_
basic mobs. I have left it in for now in case I am missing something,
and rebalancing it to do something else would be more like a balance
change.
Oh also I killed the `mob/basic/retaliate` folder because that isn't a
classification that needs to exist or makes sense.
## Why It's Good For The Game
We don't want to use simple mobs any more.
Sergeant Araneus can finally actually be a spider, instead of being a
bat.

🆑
refactor: Spider code has been refactored and AI-controlled spiders may
have slightly different movement or reaction times.

currently only spiders actually _can_ take stamina damage.

by a player.

## About The Pull Request
Morph is described as this in the antag panel: "While morphed, you move
faster, but are unable to attack creatures or eat anything." This is how
it has worked as long as I have played, but at somepoint in the past
this was broken. I was able to track down the source of this issue
easier with admin powers, finally back to squash my own bug report.

## Changelog
🆑
fix: Morphs now properly move faster when disguised rather than slowing
down.
/🆑
Put simply, removes the slowdown from pulling bulky items as well and fireman carrying (and piggyback rides) while in zero gravity.
This also fixes some weirdness, like how slowdowns from aggressive grabs are negated in zero g, but because bulky_drag is NOT negated, you can still be slowdown in zero gravity if your target is laying down. or in a neck grab or higher because they are then automatically floored. Which makes zero consistant sense given the context.
Also, while testing this, I noticed that it was faster to drift while pulling a bulky object in space rather than fly with a jetpack because of the slowdown and how drifting works, which also makes no god damn sense. This should fix that too.
Fixes the consistency errors mentioned above, also adds an interesting change of game state in zero gravity which seems fun. (see: faster to drag away downed friendlies during a space battle, or perhaps kidnap a downed enemy)
Fixes#62600 (aggressively grabbing a body in space makes you move faster than passively grabbing them)
You can now pull bulky things in zero gravity at full speed
The slowdown from neck grabs is now properly negated in zero gravity.
