Cables now autoconnect on cardinal directions. All cable placement has been completely stripped out and replaced with simple single cable per tile logic.
Low effort demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXp8s6ORWbA
Yes I am aware that cutting it is not dropping wire, that version was bugged.
Cables no longer need a knot specifically placed to link to power objects. The sprite is automatically changed to represent this.
The only exception to this logic is that on smes units, due to the terminal being next to the output, they will not link there.
On a technical powernet side, this is the same as old cables once actually placed. They still use the existing powernet system, just the placement and connection works differently.
Old cables have been turned into "pipe cleaners" for wire art purposes. they work just like the old ones, just missing all the powernet functionality, and also you can put them on top of the floor.
Why It's Good For The Game
How obnoxious cables were to both map and work with in game has been something that has annoyed me for a really long time now.
This is both easier for new players to learn, and easier for experienced players to work with.
Along with making in game much more intuitive and easier, it makes mapping much easier as well. Mad lad wjohn was able to rip out all the mapping conversion in one day because of how much faster it is to work with.
cl actioninja and wjohn
add: Cables have been completely reworked. Simple per tile connection logic, automatically connects to things above it. Think minecraft redstone.
add: Old cables have been kept as pipe cleaner. They are non-functional in terms of power, but otherwise have the same connection logic. Also can go on top of tiles.
remove: mech cable layer has been removed because it was terrible shitcode nobody used
tweak: (sort of balance) cable stack sized has been reduced to 15.

In cases where you're creating an image to use as an overlay, it makes more sense to use a mutable_appearance if you can. The image will create a static appearance for not just the image but also each intermediate step if you change vars along the way. The mutable appearance avoids this unnecessary and expensive process. The only situation that requires an image instead of a mutable_appearance is if the overlay is supposed to be directional. MA's ignore direction while images don't. I dunno why, probably another BYOND-ism.
I added a convenience function, mutable_appearance(), designed to emulate image(). Also went ahead and set the default plane of /mutable_appearance to FLOAT_PLANE because it's fucking 0 by default.
Several overlays that were image() calls were changed to just text strings when I could. overlays += "string" has the same result as overlays += image(icon, "string") and saves a proc call.

Will now be called from atom/New if the world initialization loop in SSobj has already run. Should always call the base.
Now comes with the `roundstart` parameter indicating whether or not it was called by SSobj or atom/New
Other fixes/tweaks:
- Renamed a proc called Initialize in abduction consoles to Setup
- Removed /obj/item/device/radio/headset/headset_sec/department: Broken and referenced literally nowhere in the code
- Removed a spawn from the Initialize of turbine_computer which made literally zero sense
- Generalized the proc which fixes RND servers with no id set
Reasoning: It's better to check roundstart per function than to have to duplicate code in New and Initialize. Think of it as a safer New for atoms. If we move enough stuff to it, initial map load performance will increase due to less New calls

New power tools for the CE! It's like goof's golden tools but less memey and makes more sense, power tools are much faster than normal tools and take the place of two.
Hand drill, activate to switch between between screwdriver bit and bolt bit (screwdriver/wrench)
Jaws of life, activate to switch between a cutting head and prying head, can also open powered doors like a xeno. Cutting head cuts your head off if you suicide with them. I wanted to make the prying head gib your head but i couldn't figure it out.
Reworked how construction handles sounds and added a new "usesound" var to obj/items. This is useful if you want to add another tool or item that makes a send when it's being used. Also useful if you want to replace a sound for an item or if you have an item with a choice of sounds (like if you have two versions of a sound sound you want to play)
CE now gets a unique white tool belt, exactly the same as a regular tool belt, just a re-skin.
CE also spawns with the new power tools and an experimental welder, CE will be the ONLY one to spawn with these tools, might make him a more valuable target for traitors. I figured this would be acceptable considering most heads are not antag enabled (i think)
Also i added a welding tool sound for reasons... figured might as well add some more sounds while i was reworking it.
Please refer to #20867 and #20870 for a easier view of the changes. Those two PRs show all meaningful changes (hopefully) and doesn't show the files changed with just 3 lines changed.
This PR does three things:
It makes all children of /obj/ use the same damage system.
Previously to make your new machine/structure be destroyable you needed to give it a var/health, and its own version of many damage related proc such as bullet_act(), take_damage(), attacked_by(), attack_animal(), attack_hulk(), ex_act(), etc... But now, all /obj/ use the same version of those procs at the /obj/ level in code/game/obj_defense.dm. All these obj share the same necessary vars: obj_integrity (health), max_integrity, integrity_failure (optional, below that health level failure happens), and the armor list var which was previously only for items, as well as the resistance_flags bitfield. When you want your new object to be destroyable, you only have to give it a value for those vars and maybe override one proc if you want a special behavior but that's it. This reorganization removes a lot of copypasta (most bullet_act() version for each obj were nearly identical). Two new elements are added to the armor list var: fire and acid armor values.
How much damage an obj take depends on the armor value for each damage category. But some objects are INDESTRUCTIBLE and simply never take any damage no matter the type.
The armor categories are:
-melee(punches, item attacks, xeno/animal/hulk attacks, blob attacks, thrown weapons)
-bullet
-laser
-energy (used by projectiles like ionrifle, taser, and also by EMPs)
-bio (unused for this, only here because clothes use them when worn)
-rad (same)
-bomb (self-explanatory)
-fire (for fire damage, not for heat damage though)
-acid
For machines and structures, when their health reaches zero the object is not just deleted but gets somewhat forcedeconstructed (the proc used is shared with the actual deconstruction system) which can drops things. To not frustrates players most of these objects drop most of the elements necessary to rebuild them (think window dropping shards). Machines drop a machine frame and all components for example (but the frame can then be itself smashed to pieces).
For clothes, when they are damaged, they get a "damaged" overlay, which can also be seen when worn, similar to the "bloody" overlay.
It refactors acid. See #20537.
Some objects are ACID_PROOF and take no damage from acid, while others take varying amounts
of damage depending on their acid armor value. Some objects are even UNACIDABLE, no acid effect can even land on them. Acid on objects can be washed off using water.
It changes some aspect of damage from fires.
All /obj/ can now take fire damage and be flammable, instead of just items. And instead of having just FLAMMABLE objs that become ON_FIRE as soon as some fire touch them (paper), we now have objects that are non flammable but do take damage from fire and become ashes if their health reaches zero (only for items). The damage taken varies depending on the obj's fire armor value and total health. There's also still obj and items that are FIRE_PROOF (although some might still be melted by lava if they're not LAVA_PROOF).
When a mob is on fire, its clothes now take fire damage and can turn to ashes. Similarly, when a mob takes melee damages, its clothes gets damaged a bit and can turn to shreds. You can repair clothes with cloth that is produceable by botany's biogenerator.
It also does many minor things:
Clicking a structure/machine with an item on help intent never results in an attack (so you don't destroy a structure while trying to figure out which tool to use).
I moved a lot of objects away from /obj/effect, it should only be used for visual effects, decals and stuff, not for things you can hit and destroy.
I tweaked a bit how clothes shredding from bombs work.
I made a machine or structure un/anchorable with the wrench, I don't remember which object...
Since I changed the meaning of the FIRE_PROOF bitflag to actually mean fire immune, I'm buffing the slime extract that you apply on items to make them fire proof. well now they're really 100% fire proof!
animals with environment_smash = 1 no longer one-hit destroy tables and stuff, we give them a decent obj_damage value so they can destroy most obj relatively fast depending on the animal.
Probably a million things I forgot.
If you want to know how the damage system works all you need is the three obj vars "obj_integrity", "max_integrity", "integrity_failure", as well as the armor list var and the resistance_flags bitfield, and read the file obj_defense.dm
Adds a large ash and large molten item decal (for future use)
simplifies decal/cleanable/replace_decal() code a bit.
Changes construction() proc to on_construction() for consistency, same for deconstruction().
Made a deconstruct() proc for machinery and computer (also for future use).
Added priority overlays to atoms, which will not be removed when overlays are cut and will always remain on top when new overlays are added. This requires everyone to use add_overlay() and cut_overlays() instead of overlays += and overlays.Cut(). These procs are found in __HELPERS/icons.dm, and the priority overlay list is found in game/atoms.dm. Everything else is replacing deprecated overlay manipulation.
This contains the changes to item_attack.dm
Obj/attackby() now follows a similar structure as mob/living/attackby. It calls attack_obj() (like attack() but for obj) which calls attacked_by (just like attack() does)
The use of the NOBLUDGEON flag changes a bit, it is now used to signify the item cannot be used as a melee weapon at all. No attack animation, no attack message. I've given this bitflag to many items that have an afterattack() so as to not both attack and do the special action (among those items: the rcd)
There's also the code changes to attacking machines: attacking any machine now give a proper message and a sound. And with this, I made more machines breakable (using a health var and the very little used BROKEN stat). Most notably, tables can now be attacked when on harm intent and be destroyed.
The newly destroyable machines have a take_damage() proc used by all sorts of attack (weapon, xeno, animal, hulk, mech melee, gun projectile, thrown items).
There's some more stuff in there, see the PR's description and comments.
