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.
## 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?

<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.

<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. Go out
with a bang!

## About The Pull Request
Adds a new space ruin to the pool. It's the haunted trading post. It is
a whiteship dock with a large (safe) common area. The back rooms contain
loot and danger. Here are a few 'teaser' images.
https://i.imgur.com/M1te9Ha.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/SF3bJ62.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/i9xeUFP.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/UBwpJAM.png
Notable treasures: Cash, Donk Co merch, Donk Co guns, Donk Co Donk
Pockets, Donk Co vendors, Donk Co ID Cards, and the Donk Co Secret
Recipe.
Oh yeah the secret documents teach you how to make three prototype
variants of Donk Pockets. There is no limit to the amount of times it
can be read, so if you want to corner the market remember to lock up the
documents. Or you can share them with your friends.
**Now COMPLETE!**

## Why It's Good For The Game
This ruin is a multi-room dungeon with multiple solutions to each room.
It has plenty of action from mobs, traps and hazards. Each room has some
form of treasure or unique item in it. There's a boss at the end with
great rewards for fighting it, including a cool gun (slightly worse
variant of laser carbine).
This ruin is also a whiteship dock and space base. The public area is
entirely safe: stick to the well lit sector and don't trespass in the
employees only areas and you won't be harmed. There is a variety of
vendors to resupply at (including a brand new Donk Co snack vendor) but
unlike most other space ruins you do have to pay. A whiteship can dock
at this ruin if you have one, so you can bring groups of people to party
or attack the dungeon together.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Adds the Haunted Trading Post space ruin.
add: Adds 10+ unique items for the Haunted Trading Post
add: Adds 5 dangerous mobs for the Haunted Trading Post
add: Adds 4 new types of hazardous traps for the Haunted Trading Post.

## About The Pull Request
it's - conjunction of "it" and "is"
its - possessive form of "it"
grammar is hard, and there were a lot of places where "it's" was used
where it shouldn't have been. i went and painstakingly searched the
entire repository for these instances, spending a few hours on it. i
completely ignored the changelog archive, and i may have missed some
outliers. most player-facing ones should be corrected, though
## Why It's Good For The Game
proper grammar is good
## Changelog

spellcheck: Numerous instances of "it's" have been properly replaced
with "its"

## About The Pull Request
- Afterattack is a very simple proc now: All it does is this, and all
it's used for is for having a convenient place to put effects an item
does after a successful attack (IE, the attack was not blocked)

- An overwhelming majority of afterattack implementations have been
moved to `interact_with_atom` or the new `ranged_interact_with_atom`
I have manually tested many of the refactored procs but there was 200+
so it's kinda hard
## Why It's Good For The Game
Afterattack is one of the worst parts of the attack chain, as it
simultaneously serves as a way of doing random interactions NOT AT ALL
related to attacks (despite the name) while ALSO serving as the defacto
way to do a ranged interaction with an item
This means careless coders (most of them) may throw stuff in afterattack
without realizing how wide reaching it is, which causes bugs. By making
two well defined, separate procs for handing adjacent vs ranged
interactions, it becomes WAY WAY WAY more easy to develop for.
If you want to do something when you click on something else and you're
adjacent, use `interact_with_atom`
If you want to do something when you click on something else and you're
not adjacent, use 'ranged_interact_with_atom`
This does result in some instances of boilerplate as shown here:

But I think it's acceptable, feel free to oppose if you don't I'm sure
we can think of another solution
~~Additionally it makes it easier to implement swing combat. That's a
bonus I guess~~
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Over 200 item interactions have been refactored to use a
newer, easier-to-use system. Report any oddities with using items on
other objects you may see (such as surgery, reagent containers like cups
and spray bottles, or construction devices), especially using something
at range (such as guns or chisels)
refactor: Item-On-Modsuit interactions have changed slightly. While on
combat mode, you will attempt to "use" the item on the suit instead of
inserting it into the suit's storage. This means being on combat mode
while the suit's panel is open will block you from inserting items
entirely via click (but other methods such as hotkey, clicking on the
storage boxes, and mousedrop will still work).
refactor: The detective's scanner will now be inserted into storage
items if clicked normally, and will scan the storage item if on combat
mode

## About The Pull Request
Rewrites how alt click works.
Based heavily on #82625. What a cool concept, it flows nicely with
#82533.
Fixes#81242
(tm bugs fixed)
Fixes#82668
<details><summary>More info for devs</summary>
Handy regex used for alt click s&r:
`AltClick\((.*).*\)(\n\t.*\.\.\(\))?`
`click_alt($1)` (yes I am aware this only copies the first arg. there
are no other args!)
### Obj reskins
No reason for obj reskin to check on every single alt click for every
object. It applies to only a few items.
- Moved to obj/item
- Made into signal
- Added screentips
### Ventcrawling
Every single atmospherics machine checked for ventcrawling capability on
alt click despite only 3 objects needing that functionality. This has
been moved down to those individual items.
</details>
## Why It's Good For The Game
For players:
- Alt clicking should work more logically, not causing double actions
like eject disk and open item window
- Added context menus for reskinnable items
- Removed adjacency restriction on loot panel
For devs:
- Makes alt click interactions easier to work with, no more click chain
nonsense and redundant guard clauses.
- OOP hell reduced
- Pascal Case reduced
- Glorious snake case
## Changelog
🆑
add: The lootpanel now works at range.
add: Screentips for reskinnable items.
fix: Alt click interactions have been refactored, which may lead to
unintentional changes to gameplay. Report any issues, please.

## About The Pull Request

They wouldn't lock on to people on the station from a space ruin, but
would to whoever entered their z level the second it was entered.
Also fixes bug where I changed `status_flags` to `status_effects` for
some reason which isn't where you look for godmode
## Why It's Good For The Game
We have a space ruin whcih several (coreless) anomalies spawn on, the
bioscrambler was put as an option because it was already immortal. It's
weird though to zone into the ruin and immediately have every anomaly in
there lock onto you, the best intended effect is probably for these ones
specifically not to be bloodthirsty.
We kind of only care about that behaviour on the station.

## About The Pull Request
This is the final PR for https://hackmd.io/XLt5MoRvRxuhFbwtk4VAUA that
I've been slowly inching towards the past few months.
This removes ``updateDialog``, ``updateUsrDialog``, ``IN_USE``,
``INTERACT_MACHINE_SET_MACHINE``, and everything surrounding it. Also
fixes advanced camera consoles not booting you off when you're moved out
of reach.
We called ``check_eye`` on mob life whenever they had their machine var
set, but their machine var would never be set to anything that actually
used it, which I found to be a little funny but was also probably my
fault.

## About The Pull Request
I was thinking to contribute something to the new away mission map to
make it better. Mapping and all takes too much time for me, so I could
do little. Though it comes with its own unique gimmicks.
To reach the cafeteria, one has to complete a couple puzzles.
The first set is opened by inputing the correct PIN on the password
panel beside it. There're several clues to help you guess this fairly
easy puzzle, in the form of several number graffitis, a scrapped piece
of paper full of numbers, and a board filled with colored dots also
found just beside the panel.
The second one is opened by a keycard, and is generally lazier. To find
it, you'll need to do a bit of (toilet) searching.
As for the unique things this PR adds:
- A fire extinguisher... that actually contains welding fuel
- A (dirt-cheap) hotdog vending machine*
- A completely ornamental maneki-neko (that's the name of the
luck-bringing, paw-waving cat figurine)
- A piggy bank that carries money between rounds. It has a cap of 10k
credits worth of holochips, cash and coins, which is pretty high, but
I'm confident people will just destroy it for its contents the moment
they find it. His name is Pigston Swinelord VI.
- More, totally legit and not actually fake bombable walls :^)
*By the by, you can also find it during the national hotdog day.
Screenshots of the new location:


## Why It's Good For The Game
You know how most away missions are not that special at all? Yeah,
@mc-oofert set an example of a pretty decent one actually, if not a tad
small. I thought it could use a touch of another mind actually
contributing to it too, because it deserves it.
Also, this sets the basis for other persistent piggy banks. I don't
think they should all have that 10k cap like this one, perhaps 1k is
enough. Beside, the code that mothblocks did for json database datum is
pretty good, so there is not a whole lot of shitcode here.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added a cafeteria to the museum away mission, with a few special
things to it. To reach it, you'll have to complete a couple puzzles
however.

## 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

## About The Pull Request
- **Removed attack_slime**. Most of the attack_slime content has been
moved to a proc that signs up for COMSIG_LIVING_UNARMED_ATTACK. Its
ugly, but will make converting slimes to a basic mob easier. They now
use attack_animal for now, which might cause some unexpected
interactions. Hopefully when they are converted to basic mobs, these can
be cleared up properly.
- This caused some issues with cyborgs, who used to get only half damage
dealt to them. As refactoring this would have been too much of a
difficult task without much real gain, after much pondering, I have
decided that since slimes can always flash cyborgs with each of their
strikes, maybe cyborgs should only fear slimes that have electric
charges in them. In addition, slimes electric charges decrease now after
they successfully zap an cyborg, making them more consistent with the
zaps that affect carbons. AIs are still fully immune to slimes.
- The slime.dm and slime.life files were extremely bloated, and
unorganized. I have created two new files, defense.dm and ai.dm. I have
moved the various attack_by/attack_hand/etc procs to defense.dm. Ai.dm
now contains every single proc the slime's "AI" uses; this should help
getting a clearer picture of the current functionality, which should aid
with basic mob conversion and decision tree creation. The remaining
files have been slightly organized, with overrides in front, and new
procs at the back.
- Created a proc for swapping out Adult and Baby states of a slime.
Previously, attack_slime was in many cases ignoring fields like
melee_damage_lower and melee_damage_upper, replacing it with magic
numbers based on the slime's lifestate. Now these values are hard set by
these procs. This has caused slimes to be more consistent, though baby
slimes might do a bit less damage on the low end. I am tempted to turn
these in datums in the future, or as part of this PR.
- Removed baby slime's chance to accidentally attack a window/grille by
bumping into it, they had 0 object damage anyways, unlike adult slimes,
so there was no reason not to early return.
- The proc of `handle_feeding` assumed adjustBruteLoss and adjustToxLoss
return positive values when damage has been done, when in reality, it
returns the total health change along with its direction. This meant
slimes would fell off simple or basic mobs after a single bite. This has
been fixed.
- Also updated the warning before the slime type defines, as they were
out of date.
- I have removed the bespoke spacewalk override for slimes, which should
allow them to drift, should gravity go out.
- The nutrition stats are assigned only once, when the slime grows up,
instead of compared to being an adult every life tick
## Why It's Good For The Game
Less duplicated code.
This refactor should help in the basic mob conversion process.
Cyborgs have an easier time wrangling slimes, who could previously kill
them in three hits, if charged. They are mostly encased in metal, they
should feel fine when not hit with electric attacks.
Lets slimes feast on delicious corgis.
## About The Pull Request
Last one! Makes proteons into a basic mob, and completely removes the
simple_animal construct supertype.
Proteons aren't really designed to be played by a player, instead being
a nuisance mapped into various ruins and traps. As such, they don't
really have any special abilities. Instead, the hostile variant has a
somewhat unique behavior. They'll viciously attack anyone who comes
close, but, being frail little cowards, if a proteon takes damage it
will immediately flee. After a random period between 2 and 4 seconds, it
will stop fleeing and come back for more.
In addition to this, a few other things have been done, some only
related because they're in files I touched.
- Moved proteons from the file for the Cleric's Den to their own file in
the basic constructs folder. Given that they're used in several
different ruins, they might as well not just be in the file for one.
- Simple constructs have been cut, and with them the procs for
healing/repairing on shades and cult structures, as those are no longer
needed.
- Because I was touching it anyway, I touched up the file for trap
structures. They no longer use any one-letter variable names, and time
is now universally listed in seconds rather than deciseconds in that
file.
- I removed a completely unused blackboard key from ice demons. This is
something I noticed due to a change I ended up not making while working
on proteon AI, but I figured I might as well leave it gone.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Kills the last three simple construct typepaths, bringing us to the
destined 19 removed. Huzzah!
The proteon AI routine should inject a little spice into fighting
proteons, especially for the unprepared - unlike many mobs, they won't
stand there and take it if you decide to fight back, but you can never
safely ignore them when they run away. They still aren't particularly
dangerous.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Proteon constructs now use the basic mob framework. The ones
encountered in ruins are a bit flightier now, and will briefly flee
combat if attacked - only so that they can return and menace you again
soon after. Please report any bugs.

## About The Pull Request

adds this ruin to space ruin pool
this is a shady (as NT always is) bioresearch outpost that got fucked up
by an experiment
this has like some puzzle aspect to it since you gotta find keycards and
shit and press buttons to unlock shield gates
this ends with you fighting a heart which if you defeat, destroys the
blockade that prevents you from entering the outpost vault
also you can no longer literally just cut indestructible grilles or
unanchor indestructible windows
### new puzzle elements or something idk
variant of pressure plate that you cannot remove and it sends a puzzle
signal
cooler red puzzle doors that look very foreboding or something idk
theyre for this ruin
also puzzle blockades, which are indestructible dense objects that are
destroyed if they receive a puzzle signal
and also buttons and keycard pads for puzzles

living floor, it can only attack stuff on top of it and it attacks until
the victim is dead
it is invincible to all but a crowbar, and it cannot move, and it
remains hidden until a victim is in range
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/70376633/aa1d54f6-b259-4e58-9d44-e393d2131acf
living flesh, it can replace your limbs with itself
the conditions for that are; the limb must have 20 or more brute, victim
must be alive and dismemberable, the limb may not be torso or head, or
the limb may not be living flesh
alternatively it can replace a missing limb
these are all checked with every attack
they have 20 hp
the limbs in question will sometimes act up, while passively draining
nutrition, arms will randomly start pulling nearby stuff, legs may step
randomly
limbs when detached, turn into mobs and reactivate AI 2 seconds later.
if the host is shocked, all living flesh limbs will detach, or if the
host dies they will also do that

## About The Pull Request
First and foremost, converts all Nanotrasen simplemobs into basic mobs.
To avoid messy and redundant code, or god forbid, making Nanotrasen mobs
a subtype of Syndicate ones, I've made Syndicate, Russian, and
Nanotrasen mobs all share a unified "Trooper" parent. This should have
no effect on their behaviors, but makes things much easier to extend
further in the future.
While most of this PR is pretty cut-and-dry, I've done a couple notable
things. For one, all types of ranged trooper will now avoid friendly
fire, instead of shooting their friends in the back. Even the Russians
have trigger discipline.
I've also created a new AI subtree that allows mobs to call for
reinforcements. I've hopefully made this easy to extend, but the
existing version works as follows:
- A mob with this subtree that gains a target that is also a mob will
call out to all mobs within 15 tiles.
- If they share a faction, mobs receiving the call will have the target
added to their retaliate list, and have a new key set targeting the
calling mob.
- If they have the correct subtree in their AI controller, called-to
mobs will then run over to help out.
Sadly, this behavior is currently used only by a few completely unused
Nanotrasen mobs, so in practice it will not yet be seen.
Finally, I've fixed a minor issue where melee Russian mobs punch people
to death despite holding a knife. They now use the proper effects for
stabbing instead of punching.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Removes 8 more simple animals from the list.
As said above, making all "trooper" type mobs share a common parent cuts
down on code reuse, ensures consistency of behavior, and makes it much
easier to add new troopers not affiliated with these groups. I expect
that I'll make pirates share this same parent next.
The new "reinforcements" behavior, though extremely powerful, opens up
exciting new opportunities in the future. There aren't many existing
behaviors that allow basic mobs to work _together_ in interesting ways,
and I think adding some enemy teamwork could be fun.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Hostile Nanotrasen mobs now use the basic mob framework. This
should make them a little smarter and more dangerous. Please report any
bugs.
fix: Russian mobs will now actually use those knives they're holding.

## About The Pull Request
Adds 'Bloody Spreader' component that bloodies everything it touches!
For example inserting an item into it if it is a storage item. Or
entering it if it's a turf, or bumping onto it, or... you get the point,

Added this component to the MEAT backpack, meat slabs, bouncy castles,
meateor fluff, meateor heart, and the heretic sanguine blade.
Gave most of these the blood walk component as well, which spreads blood
if it's dragged around.
Meat slabs contain a limited amount of both components, eventually they
will 'dry out'.

## About The Pull Request
This takes all the gib related procs:
- `gib()`
- `spawn_gibs()`
- `spill_organs()`
- `spread_bodyparts()`
And adds heavy documentation that communicates what the procs are used
for and how the different bitflags affect them. The difference is
noticeable:
`gib(TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, null)` vs `gib(DROP_ORGANS|DROP_BODYPARTS)`
The code is now much more legible which is important considering it's
used in a lot of places!
Another robust change, is that we had several places in the code where
there were double negatives like so:
```
/mob/living/carbon/spill_organs(no_brain, no_organs, no_bodyparts)
if(!no_bodyparts) // DOUBLE NEGATIVES ARE BAD M'KAY?!?
// do stuff here
```
This is a mindfuck to untangle. I inverted a lot of these parts so we
don't lose our sanity.
Last thing that was changed was a big `if()` loop in the `spill_organ()`
proc. This was refactored to just be a simple `for` loop with `continue`
statements where we needed to skip enabled bitflags. It's now shorter
and cleaner than before.
The only slight gameplay change this affects is that gibbing a mob now
guarantees to drop all items unless the `DROP_ITEMS` bitflag is
deliberately omitted. Some places like admin gib self, we don't want
this to happen.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gib code is very old. (~15 years) People kept adding more arguments to
the procs when it should have been a bitflag initially. By doing it this
way, there is more flexibility and readability when it comes to adding
new code in the future.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Refactor gib code to be more robust.
qol: Gibbing a mob will result in all items being dropped instead of
getting deleted. There are a few exceptions (like admin gib self) where
this will not take place.

## About The Pull Request
Heavily refactors wounds AGAIN.
The primary thing this PR does is completely change how wounds are
generated and added - while the normal "hit a guy til they bleed" stuff
works about the same, asking for a specific type of wound, say, like how
vending machines try to apply a compound fracture sometimes, isnt going
to work if we ever get any non-organic wounds, which the previous
refactor allowed.
With this PR, however...
* You can now ask for a specific type of wound via
get_corresponding_wound_type(), which takes wound types, a limb, wound
series, etc. and will try to give you a wound fitting those
specifications - but also, a wound that can be applied to a limb.
* This will allow for a vending machine to apply a compound fracture to
a human, but a collapsed superstructure (assuming my synth wounds go in)
to a robot
There are now new "series types" and "wound specific types" that allow
us to designate what series are "mainline" and randomly generatable, and
what are "alternate types" and must be generated manually - you can see
the documentation in wounds.dm.
The behavior of limping and interaction delays has been abstracted to
datum/wound from bone wounds to allow just, general ease of development
Pregen data now allows for series-specific wound penalties. Example: You
could set a burn wound's series wound penalty to 40, which would make
wound progression in the burn category easier - but it would not make it
any easier to get a slashing wound. As it stands wound penalties are for
wounds globally
Scar files are now picked in a "priority" list, where the wound checks
to see if the limb has a biostate before moving down in said list.
Example: Wounds will check for flesh first, if it finds it - it will use
the flesh scar list. Failing that, they then check bone - if it uses
that, it will use the bone scar list. This allows for significantly more
modular scars that dont even need much proc editing when a new wound
type is added
Misc changes: most initial() usage has been replaced by singleton
datums, wound_type is now wound_types and thus wounds can accept
multiple wound types, wounds can now accept multiple tool behaviors for
treatment, wounds now have a picking weight so we can make certain
wounds rarer flatly,
This PR also allows for wounds to override lower severity wounds on
generation, allowing eswords to jump to avulsions - but in spirit of
refactoring, this has been disabled by default (see pregen data's
competition_mode var).
## Why It's Good For The Game
Code quality is good!
Also, all the changes above allow wounds to be a MUCH more modular
system, which is one of its biggest problems right now - everything is
kinda hardcoded and static, making creative work within wounds harder to
do.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Refactored wounds yet again
fix: Wounds are now picked from the most severe down again, meaning
eswords can jump to avulsions
fix: Scar descs are now properly applied

## About The Pull Request
This PR does many things and I expect to be asked to atomize some stuff.
### Oldstation Additions
Oldstation now has their own research server, generating their own
points. To help alleviate major concerns, they have a few stuff to help
with this:
- They now have a pre-built operating computer
- They now have an Autopsy scanner
- They now have access to Experimental Dissection
Experimental Dissection is the old dissection, giving research points in
the form of paper notes on completion. They must be turned in to the RND
server (only works on the Oldstation one, so you can't abuse this) for
points. This was an idea I've had for some time, as Oldstation is used
somewhat as a representation of how ss13 used to be (through its use of
directional windows (before they got removed, but I'd like to bring them
back), old IDs, RTGs, and old engines before they got removed from the
game fully)
Considering there are 11 alien mobs in Oldstation, there is 27.5k
research points to get from alien corpses, enough to bring them up to
speed with whatever they wish to do. This is their 'alternative' for
experiments (which they can still do if they want, but it is very hard
to do, outside of dissection which is needed for the node).
This surgery isn't repeatable, isn't upgradable, and isn't removed by
being healed. It is not mutually exclusive with autopsy (so you can't
ruin yourself doing the wrong surgery).
### Other stuff
- Ninjas now drain RND points from the server they drain from, rather
than always hitting science
- Syncing machines to research roundstart is now a macro, and now
immediately syncs to a server on your Z-level. Machines will
automatically connect to the Science servers if none else are available.
### non-player facing
- Science, Admin, and Oldstation techwebs are now no longer vars on
research, but stored in research's list of techwebs.
- ``get_available_servers`` and ``find_valid_servers`` are now procs on
the research subsystem, rather than the experisci component.
- Oldstation code has been split into separate files.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Oldstation is one of my favorite ruins, but it is also one of the
largest complaints for RND (along with Golems) because they use the
station's Science nodes & points (I recently tried de-hardcoding Science
stuff to help prepare for this, but I didn't get everything in advance).
The complaint stems from these ghost roles, who are meant to be a fun
activity to do while waiting for the next round, using the station's
research points for their own stuff, completely untrackable unless
someone goes out of their way to grief a ghost spawn just for using
points to get things they need. These roles make their own servers to
drain the station, and I find that unfun and quite boring for everyone-
it's also not very flavorful, why would Charliestation know of the
station's RND to take advantage of it?
This hopes to fix those issues, make Charliestation more worthwhile, and
more flavorful.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Getting a node researched now properly makes it no longer hidden.
fix: Ninjas draining RD servers now drains it from the connected
techweb, rather than sniping Science.
balance: Machines will first try to connect to a techweb with servers on
their z-level, with the Science techweb remaining as fallback.
add: Oldstation RND, comes with their own Techweb and special surgery to
gain research points through dissecting Xenomorphs.

## About The Pull Request
Hey there,
There were more than a few times (like in cinematic code) where we might
need to accurately know the source of what's adding this trait (or have
multiple sources for the whole 'we don't want this mob to do shit while
we transform this mob'), so in order to rectify this potential issue,
let's refactor it into a trait.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Some code already declared that there might be issues with this being a
boolean var (with no way of knowing _why_ we don't want this mob to not
transform (or not do anything idk). Let's remove those comments and any
future doubt in those instances with the trait macros. Also, stuff like
`TRAIT_IMMOBILIZED` which does a similar thing in many contexts was
already a trait that was regularly added in conjunction with flipping
the variable, so we're able to flatten all that stuff into
`add_traits()` and `remove_traits()` now. nice
I also cleaned up quite a bit of code as I saw it, let me know if it
should be split out but I guarantee that if I didn't do it- no one will
for the next two years.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: If you transform into another mob and notice bugs with
interacting with the game world, please create a bug report as this
framework was recently refactored.

## About The Pull Request
**_THIS PR UPDATES THE SCAR VERSION - ALL EXISTING SCARS WILL BE
WIPED_**
Expands the wound system functionality to support any type of limb at
all.
To do this, wounds have been significantly refactored. For starters,
wounds now use limb biotype instead of wound type for determining what
they can be applied to. They also use singleton instances for most "can
we apply this" checks instead if copy pasted initial().
Wounds now use a "wound series" instead of wound_type for determining
the, well, series. Previously, all WOUND_BLUNT wounds were considered
bone wounds, making it impossible to have multiple WOUND_BLUNT wounds at
once. Now, its based on wound series - bone wounds are of the blunt bone
wound series, and use the typical logic.
One change that results from this is the ability for everything with a
jointed limb to get a dislocation. Yes, this includes things like
prosthetics.
On the note of external and internal biotypes: Exterior are bones,
Interior is flesh. Interior protects exterior from slash until its
mangled, at which point it either exposes exterior to slash or allows
dismemberment if theres no exterior.
Basically - it acts the exact same way, except its not hardcoded, and
its more modular.
A lot, lot more changes were made - I cant name them all, but if youre
interested, you can read up. Wounds have more procs, more
modularization, and less hardcoding.
Sadly, scars have been updated in such a way so that the wound version
must be updated. Scars will be deleted.
## Why It's Good For The Game
As it stands, half the limbs in the game can't be dismembered. This
changes that, allowing every single limb to be dismembered.
The two dismemberment critera are now:
1. If able to get mangled flesh or bone, it can be dismembered once it
gets mangled flesh and bone (or JUST flesh if it only has a internal
biostate, vice vers afor bone if external only)
2. If it cant be dismembered by the above, it will have a chance to
dismember when at or above 80% of its total max damage
Finally, code being better is usually a good thing.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Prosthetics and slimepeople can now have limbs dismembered
balance: Slimepeople can now receive slash wounds, but cannot bleed
balance: Most limbs can now be dislocated
refactor: Scar backend reworked, scars will be wiped as they update to
the new format

## About The Pull Request
Massively overhauls and standardizes the nuclear operative uplink.
### Weapon Kits
Essentially, all the main weapons of the uplink have been changed to
instead come as 'weapon kits', which are essentially cases containing a
weapon loadout to enable operatives to easily start operating on only
just one item purchase, without the fuss of worrying whether or not
operatives are getting spare ammo, or getting relevant equipment for
success. Consider this a pseudo-loadout, though without necessarily
restricting the purchasing of more weapon kits.
All kits come in three categories: Low Cost (8 TC), Medium Cost (14 TC)
and High Cost (18 TC). This is also matched by categorized ammo costs;
Basic Ammo (2 TC), Hollow Point and Armour Penetrating (4 TC),
Incendiary (3 TC) and Special (or anything that does not easily fit
these categories and does something real extra) (5 TC). Weapons that
lacked these ammos have gained these ammo types to fill the gaps.
<details>
There is may one exception to this in disruptor ammo, which is priced as
basic ammo if only because it isn't _quite_ good enough to justify
pricing at 5 tc and I can see an op wanting to use it as a basic ammo
type instead of normal .50 BMG against, say, a silicon/mech heavy
opposition. Since it cannot kill organics on its own, I'll consider this
mostly basic-adjacent
</details>
The kits have also been labelled based on potential difficulty. This
reflects possible difficulties in using the item, how conducive it is to
success for how much game knowledge needed to actually use it, and how
likely an op is to succeed using it. I don't expect ops to win using
nothing but a rocket launcher, but I think ops should get a fair shake
at trying, yeah?
The kits are as below:
#### **Low-Cost**
_Bulldog (Moderate):_ Shotgun and three magazines of standard ammo.
_Ansem (Easy/Spare):_ Pistol and three spare magazines of standard ammo.
#### **Medium Cost**
_C-20r (Easy):_ SMG and three spare magazines of standard ammo.
_Energy Sword and Shield (Very Hard):_ Energy sword and shield. (Also a
special hat)
_Revolver (Moderate):_ Revolver and three speedloaders of standard ammo.
_Rocket Launcher (Hard):_ Rocket launcher with three spare rockets.
#### **High Cost**
_L6 SAW (Moderate):_ LMG, and that's it. No spare ammo.
_M-90gl (Hard):_ Rifle, two spare magazines of standard ammo and a box
of rubber grenades.
_Sniper (Hard):_ Sniper rifle, two spare magazine of standard ammo, and
one magazine of disruptor ammo. Also suit and tie.
_CQC (Very Hard):_ Comes with a stealth implant and a bandana.
_Double-Energy Sword (Very Hard):_ Double-energy sword, syndicate soap,
antislip module, meth injector and a prisoner jumpsuit.
_**NEW** Grenadier's Kit (Hard):_ Grenadier's belt and grenade launcher
(the one that launchers chem grenades). (I replaced the shit acid
grenade with another flashbang in the belt)
Surplus SMG (Flukie difficulty) has been unchanged. It just now comes
with two rations.
Includes two new revolver ammo types: Phasic, which goes through walls
and armor, but has significantly less damage as a result (I've equalized
the revolver damage and the rifle version's damage to 30 for both). And
Heartseeker, which has homing bullets. Both are Special ammo, and are
priced at 5 TC a speedloader.
### Other Gear
The other items in the uplink have also been consolidated and
standardized in various ways.
#### Grenades
Most now cost 15 TC for three grenades of any given type (including the
full fungal tuberculous). This is pretty much identical to the previous
price, just more consistent overall and front-loaded in cost.
#### Reinforcements
All the various reinforcements now cost 35 TC and all refundable,
equalizing cost to the average across the reinforcements. This is
primarily because I feel like all these options should be weighed
equally, and not one of these options are necessarily worse or better
than the other in their current balance. They're largely inaccessible
for normal ops regardless, and typically come out when there is a
discount or war ops. I took the average value and went with it. Not much
more to say.
#### Mechs
They're just cheaper. These things still suck and they need help.
They've always needed help. A slightly less excessive value for the
mechs may help see people willing to spend the TC on them. I doubt it. I
seriously suggest not buying these still. I keep them in primarily
because they are big stompy mechs and are kind of iconic 'war ops' gear.
#### Bundles
Since I've implemented weapon kits, gun bundles are rather redundant. So
the bulldog weapon and ammo bundle, the c20-r weapon and ammo bundle and
technically the sniper bundle were removed. The sniper bundle is now the
weapon kit, obviously.
Nothing else here really. Except for one....
#### Implants
Not much changed here. I standardized the implant prices to 8 TC a pop.
This is in accordance with traitor implants, which ops also get. So
everything in this category bar a few exceptions (like macro/microbombs)
are around 8 TC. Makes sense to me, really.
Importantly, I made the Implant bundle 25 TC, and I unrandomized the
contents. Who in the right fucking mind would spend 40 TC just to get
five reviver implants is beyond me. But instead, you get one of each of
the cybernetic implants except thermal eyes (you can just buy thermals
and get the benefit of both vision types; x-ray and thermal vision, if
you want to use smokescreens a lot).
#### Base Keys
They're all now 15 TC, except the fridge which is 5 TC. It's weird
they're valued differently when they are taken mostly to do gimmicks
like xenobio and toxins in a hurry before hitting the station. So we've
standardized it.

## Why It's Good For The Game
The uplink needed more spring cleaning and standardization.
With this, I've partially implemented my older idea for ammo consistency
and initial allowance for nukies. Ammo is kind of over-priced and often
where a good chunk of TC goes towards without really pushing nukies
towards meaningful success. And it is often what is tripping up new
players who didn't think to get any. Now, when they get a gun, they get
ammo in their case. On top of this, the weapon kit category is both at
the top of the uplink AND has a little label to say 'Recommend', so that
these new players will hopefully know they should be looking there
first.
In addition, it is the gateway towards a concept that is currently being
worked on. Nuclear operatives having some degree of predefined loadouts
for players to select if they aren't sure what they want, or don't know
what to get. Nukies is very confusing for many players. So giving them a
fighting chance with some premade setups can help ease them into the
role without needing too much player knowledge in how to apply the
items. This is only one step towards that, so that players can identify
what gear they need to help succeed based on their skill.
I wanted to implement a difficulty warning so that players can choose
gear loadouts that are actually conducive to their skill and knowledge.
I based it on how much players would need to know to engage in combat
with it, and how much fiddling is required to get something to work
properly (overly involved reloading is a consideration, for example, as
well as precise button presses). In addition, how much of a force
multiplier some weapons can be for their ease of use.
Most people recognize the c20-r as the most new player friendly weapon,
as an example. So it would be good to steer players towards taking that
gun because of how easy it is to use, understand and succeed with it.
And most importantly of all; Having standards within the uplink is
important. Most of the values in the uplink are just completely random.
Nobody has a good grasp of what is too much or too little. Even just a
hint of consistency, and people will stick to it (see implants for what
I mean). And there is still some work to be done even there. A good
start is weapons. Price for power can be meaningful when decided whether
we want some weapons to come out more often than others. Players do
enjoy making informed decisions and choices, and having affordability be
a draw to some otherwise less powerful weapons (looking at you, Bulldog)
can actually be a worthwhile and meaningful difference.
~~I thought it would tick off the gun nerds to change the calibers on
the guns.~~
~~I also thought adding hats would be funny given the release of TF2's
most recent update.~~
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Standardizes some of the nuclear operative entries to have more
consistent pricing within their respective categories.
add: Adds some new categories so that players have an easier time
navigating the nuclear operative uplink.
balance: Many items have had prices reduced or adjusted to make them
more desirable or more consistent within their category.
add: Weapon kits have replaced almost all the individual weapons in the
uplink. You now buy these instead of the individual weapon. These often
come with spare ammo or relevant gear for success.
add: Most ammo types have been standardized in price.
refactor; Removes a lot of redundant item entry code and tidies up the
actual code part of the nuclear uplink so that it is much easier to find
things within it.
add: Added 40 new cosmetic items to the Syndicate Store. Buy them now
from the Hat Crate, only 5 TC!
code: Updated the nuclear operative uplink files.

## About The Pull Request
Removes all of the duplicate global lists for specific machine types
where the only thing they do is store all machines of that type.
Adds machine tracking to SSmachines in the form of a list for all
machines, and then an associative list for machines by their type.
Previously we have machines in multiple global lists, such as airlocks
being in GLOB.doors, GLOB.airlocks, GLOB.machines.
This makes that not a thing, and also means that iterating through
GLOB.machines looking for a specific type is no longer as expensive.
## About The Pull Request
Due to a mental breakdown caused by unfathomable abomination that is
icons folder, I swore to myself to one day clean it. Today is kind of
that day. Been at it for around 6, you gotta understand I need a rest. I
tracked most changes in descriptions of commits if you are looking for
details.

## Why It's Good For The Game
There's a lot of different uses of things like "o2" and "plasma", and
they are pretty inconsistent. In some places, it's "hydrogen", in others
it's "h2". In some it's "plasma", others "plasm". This unifies it all
under defines so it has a less chance of breaking in the future.
## Changelog
Nothing player-facing.
## About The Pull Request
Removes a bunch of sound files that we don't use and moves some sound
files into better locations. I'm hoping to get an archive repo for
sounds going, much like the

[SS13-sprites](https://github.com/tgstation/SS13-sprites).
EDIT: The old sound files are being moved here:

## About The Pull Request
0426f7ddba/code/game/objects/items/stacks/stack.dm (L449)
Ok, but can we not?
This PR refactors sheet crafting to generalize all the cases that were
previously locked behind grille/window type checks and such. In their
stead there are bitflags that can be set to achieve certain behaviors.
All the behavior from before should be preserved, but now it can be
extended to other items. E.g. if you want a railing that can be crafted
underneath directional windows, or an item that behaves like a grille
does--it's just a matter of setting the right obj_flags for it now.
This makes it very simple and painless to add new recipes that use
directional crafting! It's all modular now.
<details><summary>Details</summary>
---
### What I've done:
-Eliminated all the type checks, instead it will now be handled by
object flags and recipe vars, making for a much more configurable
system.
-Added two new obj_flags: `BLOCKS_CONSTRUCTION_DIR` and
`IGNORE_DENSITY`.
-Additionally, I renamed the existing flag `NO_BUILD` to
`BLOCKS_CONSTRUCTION`.
-Changes the proc `valid_window_location` to `valid_build_direction`,
and makes it work for things other than windows.
-Removed a deprecated `window_checks` var from the stack_recipe datum.
-Added three more vars to the stack_recipe datum: `check_direction` and
`check_density`, `is_fulltile`
-Decoupled `on_solid_ground` from the object density check. Now you can
set those separately, allowing you to make recipes that forbid/allow
building things over other things while in space.
---
### What the new flags do:
`BLOCKS_CONSTRUCTION` works as before---prevents objects from being
built on the object. I felt that the previous name was not descriptive
enough, you should know exactly what it does just from looking at the
name.
_example: dna scanner_
`BLOCKS_CONSTRUCTION_DIR` -- setting this on an object will prevent
objects from being built on it when their directions are the same.
_example: directional windows, windoors, railings_
`IGNORE_DENSITY` -- setting this on an object will cause its density to
be ignored when performing the construction density check. This could
have other potential uses as well in the future.
_example: grilles, directional windows, tables_
These three flags cover all the bases for the types of items that are
currently craftable, so there is no more need for any type checking or
weird snowflake window checks. Simply set the appropriate flag and it'll
work as you would expect.
---
### What the recipe vars do:
`check_direction` tells the recipe to check if there's something in that
direction with the `BLOCKS_CONSTRUCTION_DIR` flag set.
`check_density` tells the recipe to run the density check when set. This
is true by default. There are very few items in the game that currently
have this set to false--namely grilles. Setting this to false will make
it so that the object can be constructed regardless of what is in that
tile (unless `one_per_turf` is also set, which will make it so that you
can't craft the same thing twice in the same turf).
`is_fulltile` is used for fulltile windows, but it doesn't necessarily
have to be--you can give this to any recipe and it will adopt the same
properties as that of the fulltile window. Basically they have a special
case where they shouldn't be able to be built over directional
constructions, where normally things would be able to be. Setting this
makes check_direction true as well.
---
### In summary:
Sheet crafting still works just as it did before. But the backend of it
has gotten a glow up and will be able to more easily support new
behaviors.
</details>
## Why It's Good For The Game
This makes the crafting system much more flexible to add recipes to, and
will prevent bad code practices of stacking more conditionals down the
line whenever someone wants to add an item that behaves like grilles or
directional windows in how they are constructed.
It had to be done. Those window checks were a mess.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: added fifty stack versions of remaining glass sheet stacks for ease
of debugging
refactor: refactored sheet crafting to better support directional
constructions that aren't windows

## About The Pull Request
Did you know that there's 2 types of disks Science can print?
One of them creates a whole new techweb and is used to transfer data to
and from techwebs (which used to be for Theft objective, but nowadays
all it's used for is Admin techweb).
The other one is these disks you can find from Lavaland & for the
Limbgrower which holds nodes on them directly, they don't need anything
else.
These are both printable and have very similar names which could easily
confuse people, especially since they are both printed and used at the
same place, being the R&D room and R&D console.
This will hopefully simplify it, by removing the base Tech disks from
being printable. The only one that can be printed now is for
Limbgrowers, which can't be easily mixed with the other type of Disk.
Outside of that, Lavaland disks are staying the same, but I've moved
Bepis disks to use this, which allows us to remove Bepis techwebs being
made every single time a new bepis disk is created.
Examples of it in-game



## Why It's Good For The Game
There's no reason why every single Bepis node should be making a whole
new techweb set with experiments to complete, roundstart nodes
researched, being constantly checked if it should gain research points,
have a list of papers to publish, and everything else that techwebs do.
Can you guess which disk does what in this screenshot?

## Changelog
🆑
balance: You can no longer print Technology data disks. You can still
print Tech disks, which hold techweb information on it, just not the one
that holds up to 5 nodes.
balance: ^ Because of this, there's no way to download nodes from an RD
console and upload them to an Autolathe to bypass departmental
restrictions, you have to go through a Techfab/Circuit imprinter for
your needs.
balance: Ones that are found cannot have anything uploaded/deleted off
of them either, you can only upload them to the Web.
code: Every individual Bepis disk no longer create an entire techweb

## About The Pull Request
Broken by #74163
Various child procs of `/obj/machinery/proc/open_machine(drop = TRUE,
density_to_set = FALSE)` didn't have the same params as the parent proc.
This leads to the wrong arg being passed to the parent's `drop = TRUE`
param during the parent proc call.
In this case, 0 (FALSE). Leading to machines that never dropped their
contents when opened. This is a problem when a lot of the machines I've
fixed contain players, necessitating admin intervention to free them.
