Converts arbitrary energy units to the joule. Fixes conservation of energy issues relating to charging cells. (#81579)
## About The Pull Request Removes all arbitrary energy and power units in the codebase. Everything is replaced with the joule and watt, with 1 = 1 joule, or 1 watt if you are going to multiply by time. This is a visible change, where all arbitrary energy units you see in the game will get proper prefixed units of energy. With power cells being converted to the joule, charging one joule of a power cell will require one joule of energy. The grid will now store energy, instead of power. When an energy usage is described as using the watt, a power to energy conversion based on the relevant subsystem's timing (usually multiplying by seconds_per_tick or applying power_to_energy()) is needed before adding or removing from the grid. Power usages that are described as the watt is really anything you would scale by time before applying the load. If it's described as a joule, no time conversion is needed. Players will still read the grid as power, having no visible change. Machines that dynamically use power with the use_power() proc will directly drain from the grid (and apc cell if there isn't enough) instead of just tallying it up on the dynamic power usages for the area. This should be more robust at conserving energy as the surplus is updated on the go, preventing charging cells from nothing. APCs no longer consume power for the dynamic power usage channels. APCs will consume power for static power usages. Because static power usages are added up without checking surplus, static power consumption will be applied before any machine processes. This will give a more truthful surplus for dynamic power consumers. APCs will display how much power it is using for charging the cell. APC cell charging applies power in its own channel, which gets added up to the total. This will prevent invisible power usage you see when looking at the power monitoring console. After testing in MetaStation, I found roundstart power consumption to be around 406kW after all APCs get fully charged. During the roundstart APC charge rush, the power consumption can get as high as over 2MW (up to 25kW per roundstart APC charging) as long as there's that much available. Because of the absurd potential power consumption of charging APCs near roundstart, I have changed how APCs decide to charge. APCs will now charge only after all other machines have processed in the machines processing subsystem. This will make sure APC charging won't disrupt machines taking from the grid, and should stop APCs getting their power drained due to others demanding too much power while charging. I have removed the delays for APC charging too, so they start charging immediately whenever there's excess power. It also stops them turning red when a small amount of cell gets drained (airlocks opening and shit during APC charge rush), as they immediately become fully charged (unless too much energy got drained somehow) before changing icon. Engineering SMES now start at 100% charge instead of 75%. I noticed cells were draining earlier than usual after these changes, so I am making them start maxed to try and combat that. These changes will fix all conservation of energy issues relating to charging powercells. ## Why It's Good For The Game Closes #73438 Closes #75789 Closes #80634 Closes #82031 Makes it much easier to interface with the power system in the codebase. It's more intuitive. Removes a bunch of conservation of energy issues, making energy and power much more meaningful. It will help the simulation remain immersive as players won't encounter energy duplication so easily. Arbitrary energy units getting replaced with the joule will also tell people more meaningful information when reading it. APC charging will feel more snappy. ## Changelog 🆑 fix: Fixes conservation of energy issues relating to charging powercells. qol: APCs will display how much power they are using to charge their cell. This is accounted for in the power monitoring console. qol: All arbitrary power cell energy units you see are replaced with prefixed joules. balance: As a consequence of the conservation of energy issues getting fixed, the power consumption for charging cells is now very significant. balance: APCs only use surplus power from the grid after every machine processes when charging, preventing APCs from causing others to discharge while charging. balance: Engineering SMES start at max charge to combat the increased energy loss due to conservation of energy fixes. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: SyncIt21 <110812394+SyncIt21@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Ghom <42542238+Ghommie@users.noreply.github.com> |

Throws gangtools into a bottomless pit (#82145)
## About The Pull Request Resprites everything that used to use the old gangtool sprites (door remotes, augment choice beacon, landing zone designators, and nuke op borg spawners.)  - Added a new non-gangtool generic choice beacon, and a specific S.E.L.F. one. - Door remotes are now fancy garage door openers. - Landing designators have cannibalised the cell phone sprites from the less old version of gang. - Nuke op borg spawners use the same walkie talkie as other reinforcements Door remotes now have individual sprites for each mode, so you can see the mode at a glance. ## Why It's Good For The Game Having a range of very different items sharing the same old sprites is pretty confusing, better to have them all be unique and up to date. ## Changelog 🆑 image: Everything that used the old gangtool sprites (door remotes, landing field designators, some choice beacons, windicate borg reinforcements) has been resprited. image: Door remotes now visibly show their current mode. /🆑 |

Converts ore_mined talley into only recording typepaths. (#82098)
## About The Pull Request This Pull request makes it so that the blackbox `ore_mined` talley will now only record the mineral stack's typepath as opposed to a 50/50 mix of names and typepaths. ## Why It's Good For The Game Fixes #82042. Logging should be as descriptive as possible while also avoiding the possibility for misunderstanding, so using the typepath for logging on the blackbox is preferred. ## Changelog 🆑 code: Mineral logging now collects ore names more cleanly. /🆑 |

Crushers and PKAs: Coop Upgrades (#81940)
## About The Pull Request This PR makes 2 changes, one to the crusher and one to the PKA Crushers: Their projectile no longer overrides eachother, so a mob can have the blue bubble from several crushers. Triggering it will only trigger the one that you own, so each player has to go hit the mob to strike. PKA: Fixed the minebot passthrough upgrade, and also adds a human passthrough upgrade. They are incompatible with eachother, so you choose between solo+minebot or coop, which is a compromise I thought as a better alternative to taking mod space (the minebot passthrough currently takes none). This upgrade is available solely at the mining vendor, for 750 points. ## Why It's Good For The Game The new mining has been great, and one thing I love is that it encourages more coop play. Excavating boulders with other miners is much more engaging and has good teamwork in it, and also is a good way to encourage miners to stick together more and even fight megafauna in pairs. This hopes to make that easier to do, because currently having anyone with a crusher is sort of a detriment to the whole team. Either the PKA dude will accidentally shoot the crusher user while they're going in for a melee kill, or 2 crusher users will be constantly erasing the mark of the other. This will hopefully make that aspect better, and make mining with friends a little better. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Crusher marks no longer overwrite eachother, fauna can have one from each crusher. balance: Ash drake's crusher trophy no longer affects people the same faction as you (like hiero trophy), so you won't friendly fire people with it. add: Added a new upgrade: Human Passthrough. You can shoot your PKA without having to worry about friendly fire with this, for 750 mining points at your mining vendor. fix: Minebot passthrough upgrade now properly makes PKAs pass through minebots. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <51863163+MrMelbert@users.noreply.github.com> |

Gulag boulder mining adjustments (#81971)
## About The Pull Request This PR does two fairly simple things. Firstly, it triples the gulag point value of every material except glass. Secondly, it allows mining skill increases to effect the speed of boulder breaking and reduce the stamina "exertion" you take. I tried this out personally on Lavaland and Icebox and while this is very much dependent on RNG (and storm timing) this got earning 1000 points purely from mining and smashing boulders down to _about_ ten minutes of work, which I believe is the rough estimate of how much effort it was before that. It may skew a bit higher than that if the ash storm happens at a bad time or the game gives you predominantly iron, but not a _lot_ higher. The mining skill = faster smashing thing is... barely perceptible after ten minutes of mining to be honest but it's saving _some_ time and I think if it gives you the exp it might as well benefit from it too. I didn't do anything for _glass_ because you can just pick that up off the ground in Lavaland and I didn't want to make _that_ the ideal route to getting your sentence finished. ## Why It's Good For The Game Since ArcMining was merged, the gulag has changed to a system primarily about digging up boulders and smashing them with a pickaxe for random rewards. I think the chain gang thing is pretty flavourful, but the inability to just target high-value materials (because you could see them on the mining scanner) and the overall decrease in output has made it take a lot longer to get a similar amount of points. People are sending prisoners out to mine for 1000 points of materials assuming this is about 10 minutes work, when in reality it was more like 30-35 minutes. Longer on Lavaland, where you need to take breaks for ash storms. This was not an intentional "nerf" to prisoner miners and should hopefully bring it back down to somewhere closer to the previous level. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: All materials except glass are now worth more gulag points than before. balance: Mining skill decreases the time it takes to break boulders, and makes it less tiring. /🆑 |

Overlay Lighting Color/Intensity Pass (#81425)
## About The Pull Request I was looking at screenshots of the game and realized we had a lot of light sources that were really... flat. Medium intensity, not colored at all, cringe. So I went over all the uses of overlay styled lighting (since I've done matrix lighting already) and gave them more unique features. Colors that match the sprite they're used with, intensity to produce vibes, that sort of thing. It's kinda impossible to go one by one cause there's a LOT. I may have gone a bit overboard with a few, I'm messing around with some things like giving bots colors based off their department, etc. We'll see how this all turns out. Oh also I tweaked how the cone of overlay lighting is drawn. It seemed a bit too present to me so I dropped the alpha down from like 200 to 120 at max (so it's roughly half of the mask's alpha so it's less overwhelming ## Why It's Good For The Game Lighting should be impactful, subtle and colorful <details> <summary> Old Lights </summary>           </details> <details> <summary> New Lights </summary>           </details> ## Changelog 🆑 add: Tweaked the saturation, color and intensity of a bunch of lights /🆑 |

New station trait job: Human AI (#81681)
## About The Pull Request This PR does many things, I'll try to explain the basic/background stuff to the main thing first: 1. Adds a new remote that allows a human to function like an AI. It controls a fly that will fly around the station slowly, and when it reaches a machine then the person can interact with it as if they were an AI. This required changing a lot of silicon/AI checks with one that also checks for this remote, and some messing with shared ui state. 2. Moves req_access from the obj and bot to ``/atom/movable`` which lets it be shared between the two, no more copy-paste and one side lacking features/checks/signals the other has. 3. Adds a check for AI config for AI-related station traits, which was lacking prior Now for the good part... Adds a new station trait that replaces the AI with a Human. This person is equipped with an AI headset (including Binary), an advanced camera console, an omni door wand, the machine controller, and their laws. They are immune to the SAT's turrets (even if set to target borgs) and are slow outside of the SAT, mimicing the actions of the AI. They interact with the world through their advanced camera console, which allows them to do most AI stuff needed, and the holopad they can connect to without having to ring first (like Command can). They are given a paper with the laws they must follow, but since they are human they are able to bend it. Cyborgs that run the default lawset are "slaved" to them via an unremovable law 0, so the Human AI can bend the laws if they really need to (for their own survival n such), and make the cyborgs obey their commands above laws, but in general this shouldn't be a frequent occurrence. This does take into account the unique AI trait, so it's not guaranteed Asimov. When this station trait rolls, all Intellicards, AI uploads, and AI core boards are destroyed and are unresearchable. They can be spawned by admins in-game if necessary. Maybe in the future we can also exclude Oldstation from this but I haven't really decided. Extra perks: Human AI spawns with a Robotic voicebox (unless they are a body purist) and teleport blocking implant, so they can't use teleporters to bypass their on-station slowdown. They also have an infinite laser pointer that can be used to blind through their camera console. This is unfortunately nerfed from the recent borg balance PR that removed its stun. This was meant to be the alternative to no longer being able to permanently lock borgs down like AIs can (or more than one, for that matter). They aren't affected by Roburgers, Acid, and Fuel's toxicity. Bots salute them like they do Beepsky (which is now a trait) They spawn with SyndEye to replace the AI's tracking ability They do not have a bank account ### The machine remote The machine remote has a little fly in it that flies to the machines it is pointed to, working as the arms and legs of the Human AI. It scans the machine and punches in the action the AI does, and is how the AI accesses basically anything. This fly slowly moves from one machine to the next, and can be recalled with Alt Click. It works on machines and bots. ### Video (Low quality to fit Github) https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/53777086/e16509f8-8bed-42b5-9fbf-7e37165a11e8 ## Why It's Good For The Game I've seen a funny screenshot one day of a person replacing the AI by using a bunch of door remotes, camera console, crew monitoring console, and a few other things. I've been thinking about that for a few years and really wanted to make it official if not easier to make possible, because it is an incredibly funny interaction. This makes it a reality, and while they aren't as powerful as regular AIs, I think it makes for better and funnier in-game moments. With the same weight as Cargorilla (1), I hope this wouldn't be rolling too often and ruin rounds, but instead show off the different capabilities that Humans and AIs can do, to do the job of an AI. You win some you lose some. ## Changelog 🆑 JohnFulpWillard, Tattax add: Adds a new station trait job: The Human AI. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <51863163+MrMelbert@users.noreply.github.com> |

Lots of description changes and grammar fixes for heretics (#81761)
## About The Pull Request Changes a lot of text. Apart from grammar fixes, here are the notable changes: - Ash jaunt description just said it is a "short range jaunt" without explaining what exactly a jaunt is. I believe it is better to describe without comparing to another spell the player may not have experience with. - Cosmic grasp now explains what the deal is with star marks and cosmic fields. It is still possible to crosspath into a star mark spell, skipping this description, but I assume a player like that is experienced enough to know what the star mark does anyway... - The knowledge for ash spirits no longer refers to them as "Ash Men" - "Ash Spirit" is the mob's actual name. If you think "Ash Man" is a better name, I can change it around so that the mob gets renamed that instead. - Removes the lines from paradoxical curio's description about causing brain damage on examination - many heretic items cause adverse effects to heathens who try to interact with them, and there is never a need to clutter the description with them. - Changes the eldritch coin description, because the old one was, in my opinion, awkward. I changed it to be more inline with the other items' descriptions, and to not tell non-heretics what its purpose is. If you liked the old one better, I can revert this change. ## Why It's Good For The Game Grammar good. Accurate descriptions good. ## Changelog 🆑 fix: made some heretic descriptions more accurate spellcheck: improved english of the heretical eldritch patrons /🆑 |

General maintenance for all things boulder related. (#81358)
## About The Pull Request **1. Qol** - Adds screen tips & examines for screwdriver & crowbar acts on BRM, Refinery & Smelter - Adds examines to display number of boulders stored inside a refinery & maximum number of boulders it can hold. Right click screentip to remove boulders - Adds examines to display maximum number of boulders than can be teleported by a BRM & screentips for interacting with wires - More audio & visual feedback for refinery processing. If a boulder requires multiple steps you will get a balloon alert saying "crushing" for refineries & "smelting" for smelters along with a sound per process tick(which is every 2 seconds so no need for cooldown) giving you a better idea of what's happening in the pipeline - BRM now will display all lights when the "Automatic boulder retrieval" is on & turn off the lights when disabled along with examines giving you a visual indicator of its state **2. Code Improvements** - Splits types of boulders into its own file `boulder_types.dm` for easy maintainability - Moves beacon for refinery machines into its own file `boulder_processing/beacon.dm` for easy maintainability - Moves the cooldown for processing a boulder `processing_cooldown` into the refinery machine itself. Since 100's of boulders can be created per round this var can take up memory quickly so by moving them into the refinery machine it gives us some savings - Compressed & merged procs such as `create_mineral_contents()` , `flavour_boulder()` etc with the vent code. These procs were only used by the vent 1 time & by merging the code we removed if conditions to check if a parent vent was passed or not(since now that's always the case). Helped in removing boilder plate code **3. Fixes** - **Fixes vents always spawning "Small size boulders" & not medium, nor large boulders.** Once a vent generates a boulder it calls `flavour_boulder()` |

Refactors how machines are deconstructed (#81291)
## About The Pull Request This refactors how machines are deconstructed in the following ways - You can no longer override `obj/machinery/deconstruct()`. If you want customized behaviour then override `on_deconstruction()` instead. This comes with the added benifit of no longer needing to check for the `NO_DECONSTRUCTION` flag because the machine base proc does that for us & if it finds that flag it won't proceed to call `on_deconstruction()` meaning no machine will have a chance to spawn anything which is the current behaviour. This is required to make #81290 work for all machines at least so that machine can send the `COMSIG_OBJ_DECONSTRUCT` signal without subtypes overriding & forgetting to call the parent proc - `dump_contents()` only gets called when the machine is deconstructed not destroyed thus not leaving behind any of its contents inside. Fixes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81290#issuecomment-1925752583 ## Changelog 🆑 fix: machines that should not drop contents when deleted no longer do. refactor: refactors how machines are deconstructed. report bugs on github. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <51863163+MrMelbert@users.noreply.github.com> |

Mining Bluespace Survival Capsule's "Stand back!" alert now actually has meaning (#81193)
## About The Pull Request - Standing in range of a Bluespace Survival Capsule being deployed will now toss you away from the deployed location of the pod, to roughly 2 tiles away. ## Why It's Good For The Game I always found it weird (and a little misleading) that triggering a survival capsule alerts people to "Stand back!", but it's actually harmless to stand on top of it and even smart in some contexts since you phase into it like nothing happened. So I added the missing flavor. This also has some potential shenanigans involving antagging, as you can time it perfectly so that you toss it just in time to throw people away from it. Note: The Luxury Elite pod is so large, that even after being thrown away, you may still end up inside the pod by the time it deploys, but I think that's funny. So. ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert add: Shaft Miner's Bluespace Survival Capsules will now throw people away from it when it deploys. Be sure to heed the warning to "Stand back". /🆑 |

Fixes ore vents spawning without ores on icebox, sets up map specific ore configurations (#81103)
## About The Pull Request In short, we used a static list previously within the ore_generation subsystem that held the amount of each ore that we expected a single map to uniformly need. We held this number constant, since we were spawning 15 vents per map. **Pros:** This worked flawlessly for Lavaland since 15 vents on a single Z level makes it pretty densely packed map with a good amount of map-based ore spawns, and it worked consistently. **Cons:** 15 vents did not work well on Icebox however, even when split so that the majority of the ores were spawning on the lower levels, players did not feel like icebox spawned nearly enough ores and reported the map spawning empty. **Result:** As a result, we adjusted the ratio, so that we spawned vastly more ores on the lower levels, now up to 4 vents on the upper level, and 21 vents on the lower level. However, as we were still using the ore distribution list based on lavaland, icebox vents were quickly running out of ores to distribute between them, resulting in empty vents -> which produced empty boulders -> which not only don't really let you process them properly, but also just result in a metric ton of runtimes. Icebox now has it's own list of ore distributions. These distributions are now moved to a set of global lists as opposed to being saved on the subsystem as a static list, which will make going and setting up new ore distribution lists very very easy. Additionally, we've moved the setting and getting of those ore_distributions over to the seedRuins proc, so that we're actually setting the list of ores right before we actually place them to make sure that the order that it's set is roughly as it's needed, while still setting the list at the same time the map-appropriate ruin placements are dropped in. **Plus some misc cleanup fixes:** `var/list/ore_vent_sizes` in SSore_generation wasn't being treated as a similar budget list as `ore_vent_minerals`, since it `pick()`s off it's own static size list. Which is honestly fine for this five seconds, I can handle that later while we make sure the rest of the code code is stable. In the meantime, I've just tweak it so that it's easy to see at a glance how many of each random vent has spawned into the map. Tweaked the description to not include anything about chemical processing, as I'm planning on hitting on that in a part 2 PR that I'll be picking back up after the freeze. ## Why It's Good For The Game Cleans up the code a bit, but primarily fixes ores not spawning on icebox as they should. Should fix #81058. Improves description to not mention mechanics that aren't in game. Also, cleans up a piece of code that currently isn't serving much of a purpose. ## Changelog 🆑 fix: Icebox should have it's ore distribution and it's ore vents fixed, so that vents should now produce ore. spellcheck: Boulder processing machines now don't mention things they don't do. /🆑 |

Comprehensive cleanup of storage datum, replaces the weakrefs with just refs (because they were managed already) (#81120)
## About The Pull Request
- Large amount of storage datum cleanup.
- Documentation.
- Maybe more consistent use of parent vs real_location.
- Removes the weakrefs, replaces it with just references.
- These were already managed references anyways so why bother?
- Removes a bunch of arguments no one used and would ever used so only
the most useful args are left.
- Some bugfixes.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Aiming to make storage easier to work with. The whole intent of this was
to bugfix the whole "weight class" thing that keeps popping up but I had
to do this first.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
fix: When placing an item into storage (such as backpacks), all nearby
mobs now get a message, rather than just the first mob.
fix: TGC decks of cards should act a bit less odd when looking inside.
refactor: Refactored a bit of storage, cleaned up a fair bit of its
code. Let me know if you notice anything funky about storage (like
backpacks).

Replaces /obj:: -> parent_type:: (#81146)
## About The Pull Request This just seemed like a minor error with the new syntax that popped up: The intent of these seem to be "take our obj flags and add `NO_DECONSTRUCTION` to it", which was perfectly serviceable in a majority of places, as the parent type had the same obj flags as `/obj`. But in a small handfull of places (such as any table subtypes) this was not the case, and it caused some objects to have missing flags that they were otherwise intended(?) to inherit. So I replaced `/obj::` with `parent_type::` meaning rather than using the base obj flags and then adding `NO_DECONSTRUCTION`, they use their parent type's obj flags and then add `NO_DECONSTRUCTION`. ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert fix: You can build on some niche tables again, such as the Wabbajack Altar. /🆑 |

General maintainence for Ore Silo (#81016)
## About The Pull Request
1. **Qol**(Hopefully not an issue for feature freeze)
- Adds Screen tips & examines for screwdriver, crowbar & multitool acts
- Examining ore silo will now display its stored materials
- Location name is attached to the machine name and it greys out when
pausing the machine to make it more noticable that it is paused
- Made window wider
2. **Code Improvements**
- Auto docs procs & vars for ore silo log entry
- Fixed return values of all tool acts i.e. no more returning
`TRUE/FALSE` but the actual item interaction flags
- UI no longer computes `REF` for each machine which is expensive but
instead uses the index value in the list
- Moved global variables to their corresponding files
- Ore silo no longer starts processing round start. That proc just ended
itself anyway so why even bother registering
3. **Fixes**
- If a machine was disconnected via the ore silo UI, attempting to
reconnect that machine would cause a runtime at `RegisterSignal` in
`multitool_act` because it was already registered in `Initialize`. It
now unregisters the signal when disconnecting so that's fixed
- Each machine element in the UI does not have a unique key because it
used `key={machine.name}`. This meant after disconnecting a machine the
UI buttons would get grouped together and the pause & disconnect buttons
would not function properly. Now it uses `index` which is unique thus
fixing that problem
## Changelog
🆑
qol: added more screen tips & examines for ore silo, made UI wider,
attach location name to each machine & grey out paused machines to make
it more noticeable.
code: auto docs proc & vars for silo log entry. Fixed return values of
all tool acts
fix: ore silo UI now functions correctly after removing an entry from
the UI
fix: no runtimes when connecting a machine to silo that was previously
disconnected via the ore silo UI

Fixes boulder processing mining point gain. (#81067)
## About The Pull Request Due to a misplaced multiplier, arcmining machines were eating their own point totals. Now, the refinery and smelter should correctly only take the MINING_POINT_MACHINE_MULTIPLIER define on the amount being added to the points held, not on the total resting in the machine. ## Why It's Good For The Game Simple, easy fix.

ArcMining Pr Beta: Version 1.2 (#78524)
This one's not like the last one, so much so that I'm not even going to outsource the PR description to a robot this time! Basically, **You should read the PR body before assuming that everything is the same as last time. It's not.** ## Video Summary Click the link below to see a video summary of the main features of this pull request. https://youtu.be/Aho2omR0mjY?feature=shared ## About The Pull Request This pull request serves as a large rework of minerals produced by mining, and by extension mining itself. I'll try and list each change and it's associated nuance here. ### Ore Vents The biggest addition to the game with ArcMining is **Ore Vents**. Ore vents spawn as a ruin on the map, placing a randomized ore vent onto map generation. Ore vents spawn in 3 different sizes, **Small, Medium, and Large**. These vents will pick from a pool of materials they can generate, and will hang out across the map. A player can use a mining scanner to discover an ore vent, granting a small quantity of **mining points** to begin with. Once scanned, ore vents will show what minerals that ore vent will generate after they're fully tapped. Scanning the vent again will trigger the extraction process. A small drone will fly down, called the NODE drone, and buckle onto the vent. Your job during wave defense is to protect the drone and to defeat waves of randomly spawning mobs (dependent on if you're on lavaland or on icebox). The quantity, duration, and time between waves is scaled to the size of the vent you're protecting. Starting by scanning and protecting lower tier vents earlier in the shift is a safer bet than doing a large vent in the first few minutes. The drone has 500 health, and can take a good few hits, but leaving it alone will cause it to meet an unfortunate end quite quickly. Cooperation can be your best asset, as mining with allies can greatly help with wave defense, and mineral points are granted to anyone who helps with defending the ore vent equally (So 500 * size tier, regardless of how much help you receive). Once complete, the ore vent will have a mining machine constructed on top of it, and will start to dredge up **Boulders** from the earth automatically. More on boulders later. Ore vents can be located based on your mining scanner, and will provide an appropriate audio cue based on if the ore vent has been discovered or not, and once processed will no longer alert you to it's presence. **Each station comes with a free vent that produces exclusively iron and glass, free of charge.** This is to help with shifts where the station may not have shaft miners to produce minerals, and to provide the station with a baseline amount of minerals where none may exist otherwise. ### Mineral Generation Mineral generation has been completely reworked. Previously, Mineral Generation had a flat 13% spawn rate in-game. Once minerals spawned, they would also have a chance to propagate their minerals to nearby tiles, resulting in a rather massive pool of minerals that could spawn throughout lavaland on the whole. This tweaks that, by making minerals in walls spawn based on their proximity to ore vents on maps that use cave generation. Both the probability, and quantity of ores spawning in walls is scaled based on distance, with ore vents looking like large caches of ores found in walls. This makes following ores found in walls and checking their quantity of minerals spawned a good indicator of how close you are to a nearby vent in-round. This means you can collect some points form both discovering ore vents first, as well as collecting their surrounding ores, turn those in for mining points, and then trading them in for gear upgrades to more effectively take on ore vents. As a result of tweaking the balance of this, the total amount of ores spawned in walls overall has been decreased. However, by making more of the process time based, we still result in a mostly balanced finished product. ### Boulder Processing On station, there are now three new machines. These are the BRM, the Refinery, and the Smelter. - The BRM acts as a teleporter. Instead of needing to carry boulders back to the station, you can activate the BRM, and it will automatically pick boulders to teleport back to itself. You can use this to teleport boulders dredged up from lavaland onto the station for processing. **The BRM will only lock on to boulders that are resting on an ore vent.** Moving boulders back by hand will mean you'll have to haul it back by hand. - The refinery processes the non-metallic materials out of boulders. This process sends the materials straight to the ORM, and collects mining points from the ores smelted in the machine. Swiping with an ID card lets you withdraw those points for your own personal account, but remember that these points are for your whole team to share from. The **Mining points obtained from this process is only 75% of the amount an equivalent amount of ores would provide.** - The smelter works nearly identically, however the smelter produces metallic materials out of boulders instead. - Once a boulder has had all of it's materials extracted, it's broken down and deleted from the line. Otherwise, the boulder is spat out for the next machine to process it (either the refinery or smelter). - Once there's no minerals left in a boulder of any type, the refinery or smelter will break the boulder down. - Boulders **do not stack onto tiles with each other**, so they'll block each other when pulled or when moving on a conveyor belt. Boulders can also be processed by hand. Using a mining tool on a boulder with right click will allow you to break down a boulder into it's composite ores, but limits you to a maximum of 10 ore per boulder, where the full amount can be extracted using the proper processing machines. Also, processing by hand does deal small amounts of stamina damage over time, do breaking a full large boulder can be particularly taxing. Additional Boulder Processing Machines can be built, with the BRM board being obtained from the Protolathe, while the Smelter and Refinery boards being obtainable from the Autolathe instead. A _boulder processing beacon_ can also be obtained from the mining points vendor as a reward to assist with boulder processing. Boulder processing beacons can be used to spawn in a new BRM, refinery, and smelter on the tile the user is standing on, however **you'll still need to link them to the ORM**! All three machines can be upgraded with Stock Parts, allowing for **more boulders to be processed at a time**. It does not, however, increase the amount of minerals received from boulders, or points earned. ### Mining Borg Tweaks Mining borgs have been given some minor adjustments to compensate for the changes to mining. Their mineral scanner, which now has an active component to gameplay, is now a module as opposed to built into the mob. This module allows for the same ability to discover and start waves of monsters to fight. Mining modules will find that their PKA now has a total of 90% mod capacity as compared to the 80% they had before, to allow for more robust defense of ore vents. In addition, all borgs and AIs can interact with the BRM for boulder collection. ### Mining Mech Tweaks Mining Mechs have had their utility tweaked as a result of these changes as well. Mineral scanners to be used on mining mechs now have a larger radius by comparison to their handheld cousins. Similarly, it now has an active scanning button, which will actively discovery nearby ore vents. To begin wave defense, you will need to hop out and scan a second time however, so that you can properly accept the risks of drawing a horde of bloodthirsty wildlife towards you and your companions. Mechs can also manually process boulders, similar to mining tools using their drill. ### Golem Tweaks Golems, being more gentle and less aggressive than humans, while being made out of LITERAL ROCKS, have a greater need to secure access to ores and minerals to eat. As such, they have adapted to be able to do two new things: - Golems may now right click ore vents to be able to manually haul a boulder out of the vent. This costs a hefty amount of stamina, but it allows for golems to avoid combat during regular gameplay. - Golems may now left click a boulder with an open hand in order to manually process a boulder like a pickaxe. While not faster, it is consistent and prevents golems from starving if they have access to a vent, but no ores, somehow. ### Gulag Tweaks The labor camp, being a camp for rehabilitation and ~~excessive manual labor~~ has been tweaked. Boulders now replace the random minerals located on their island, and to acquire their prizes inside, much be excavated and then broken out of the rock. Now YOU TOO can excavate minerals and become a true mineral hero by working your way to freedom. ### Mining Point Changes As a result of fewer mining points being available across the map due to the new ore spawning mechanics, and the shift in how and when ores will be coming in, almost every progress based mining point cost has been reduced by around 10-20%. Many numbers are still subject to change at present, but the idea is that core progress unlocks should be made a bit more available earlier in the round before players can start to solo or duo larger or more difficult ore vents, after which they'll be rolling in ores. ### Rarities Every once in awhile, an unusual boulder will get hauled up from the mineral rich depths of lavaland. These **Artifact boulders** can occasionally produce rare items, but for now they've mostly just been pulling up **Strange objects** for science. Nanotrasen Natural Sciences department will reward you extra points to be collected by boulder processing machines for successfully extracting one. In the future, this opens up a passive reward space that mining can reward to the station, like providing cytology DNA samples, ancient seeds, or other artifacts. ### Misc notes - Boulders can be stored in all varieties of ore boxes (ground, mech) should you choose, however as mentioned it's best to leave them where they spawn and teleport them to the station for convenience. - Maps that are not subject to cave generation will find that they are largely untouched in terms of mineral balance. - Future or existing ruins can now be tweaked to have a mineral balance cost, as the ore vent ruin does. This will allow us to spawn in more interesting ruins for pre-made combat challenges. - There are unique ore vents that spawn across the map, that will summon a boss mob relevant to that map. If the boss mob is defeated, that vent will spawn large boulders pulling from every possible ore type that can spawn. Not for the faint of heart! - Similarly, the number of ore vents and mineral budget is now adjustable in the cave generation procs, so maps may spawn with more or less ore vents as desired for balance. - Artifact boulders opens up a LOT of room for possible future content like archaeology, xenoarch, artisci, and other design spaces! - Megafauna STILL SPAWN ON THE MAP. They just happen to spawn in addition to boss ore vents. - **I'll add more to this as I get asked questions and remember things, this is a huge PR and I'm confident I've missed at least something** ## Why It's Good For The Game I outlined a lot of this in #78040, so I'll try and keep this relatively snappy this time, while noting that I've made some concessions to make the whole system a lot more playable while not trying to break out design decisions that are at the end of the day, better for the game and the overall resource balance in round. Minerals are a very poorly balanced system, and have been since their inception many years ago. We heavily rely on mineral balance in round, and yet we've really only balanced it by introducing so much supply that there's no equivalent exchange for materials that doesn't just heavily flood the exchanged material. For example, items printed from materials that are otherwise considered "rare" on master exist in such quantities and they'll never practically run out in our allotted 90 minute time slot design. This PR adjusts how ores spawn to a point where we can minimize the amount of ores that need to exist on the map for mining to be able to progress, while still providing enough resources for the station that it covers the needs of the station adequately. Miners will need to be more strategic about what resources they've collected, and be able to make decisions about which vents are worth the risk of attempting to fight, how to prepare for a wave defense, and when to head back up for upgrades, while finally giving them at least some kind of incentive to work together and use different equipment. Resonators make cleaning up the caves around vent easy, sandbags set up easy defenses for your vent, mechs can serve as a wider range radar while mining, all while still providing a new gameplay loop to mining. By limiting the amount of ores that can enter the round from the massive, massive amounts that were coming into the round beforehand (see #78346 ), we can make ore processing more meaningful by adding more gameplay to the processing of minerals. I have some plans for that, however this PR already got bloated really REALLY badly due to scope creep and the number of intersecting systems that rammed into each other to make this PR possible. So that'll be next. Plus, as I've mentioned, we open up places for ore processing to find fossils, relics, and other things that can implemented down the line. Overall, I don't expect this PR to save or kill ore balance, but we gain a LOT more control over it through the use of our mining defines attached to this PR, and at the end of the day, that's a great place to start off of. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added ore vents. Scanning them with mining scanners shows what minerals they contain. Scan again to fight off a horde of beasts as your drone assistant excavates the vent, so the ore vent will produce mineral boulders! bal: Ores that spawn in walls now spawn based on their proximity to ore vents, with their chance to spawn and their minerals contained scaling from low to high. add: Added the BRM, Refinery, and Smelter. These pieces of equipment are used to process ore boulders into minerals for the station. Stock Part upgrades allow more boulders to be processed at one time. They collect mining points as well, to be redeemed with an ID card swipe. add: Boulders are teleported to the station via the BRM if left untouched. Boulders can also be cracked open for a reduced amount of ore using pickaxes or golems hands. add: All stations come equipt with a pre-excavated ore vent, which produces a basic supply of iron and glass only. Scan other vents for your critical resources! add: Look there's a shit ton of changes on mining, for more detail check out the Pull Request: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78524. sound: New sounds and noises for your high octane factorio-like gameplay! image: All new boulder sprites for the new minerals and rocks added to the mining gameplay loop, as well as mining machines! image: Overlays appear over vents when scanned to let you know their contents at a glance when actively scanned with any mining scanners. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Time-Green <7501474+Time-Green@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <51863163+MrMelbert@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: SyncIt21 <110812394+SyncIt21@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Jacquerel <hnevard@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Ghom <42542238+Ghommie@users.noreply.github.com> |

Mat container related refactors & patches (#80164)
## About The Pull Request **1. Mat container `user_insert()` tweaks** - Mat container will now skip over an item & its contents if that item cannot be processed (not suitable for redemption or not an allowed type) this is not only realistic(if an item has an tough outer shell you can't crush it to access its contents) but also saves us computation time as we can skip over contents quickly - Mat container now properly respects the `MATCONTAINER_SILENT` flag - You can now hit machines like autolathe, protolathe etc with iron sheets (or any other material item type those machines accept) when in combat mode rather than inserting them because it makes sense - Mat container now has much reduced chat spam as it will sum up all the items inserted, and the material collected rather than displaying them individually.  Much improved readability and overall faster as we do much less `to_chat()` calls **2. ORM Tweaks** - Fixes https://github.com/Skyrat-SS13/Skyrat-tg/issues/25329 . ORM now generates points correctly always, regardless of how the ore is inserted be it - Via hand - Thrown at the ORM - Ore Box - Some other bag containing ore Points will always be generated at a common proc so no more checking every inlet on how the ore enters the machine. Once the silo receives the material it will inform the ORM about it, so it does not have to check itself therefore reducing code bloat. ## Changelog 🆑 fix: ORM will generate points regardless of how the ore enters it. fix: Machines like autolathe, techfab etc can now be hit with iron sheets (or any other material item type those machines accept) when in combat mode rather than inserting them because it makes sense. fix: Mat container won't display chats fully if the `MATCONTAINER_SILENT` flag is passed. refactor: Machines like autolathe, techfab etc now display summed up material inserts to chats rather than each item individually. Also, will skip items & its contents if it cannot be processed thus saving time /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Ghom <42542238+Ghommie@users.noreply.github.com> |

Balance changes to swords, energy shields and modsuit shields. (#80072)
## About The Pull Request ### Sword Weaponry Mundane sword weapons of all sorts do not block ``LEAP_ATTACK`` attacks whatsoever. These attacks include tackles, xeno tackles and bodythrows. Energy swords and double energy swords only gain 25% block probability against such attacks. ### Double Energy Sword No longer grants outright energy projectile immunity while employed. Instead, it just has a high probability of reflecting (the typical 75% to block any other attack). So, very solid defense against energy projectiles, but not immunity. Against non-reflectable projectiles, like ballistics or nanite bullets, the desword only has 50% block, similar to an energy sword. To compensate for the loss of defensive power, we'll make it all the more rewarding for getting on top of someone with the sword by giving it 40 force while active. And also it costs 13 TC. ### Combat Energy Shield This also lost outright energy projectile immunity, but gained the standard blocking power of shields on top of the ability to reflect energy projectiles when they block them. This significantly increases the shields potential effectiveness while no longer pigeonholing the shield to only energy weapons. (This makes them exceptionally good against tackles and body throws, by the by). Deathsquads still have the perfect deflection energy shield so that they can continue to spam pulse shots with impunity. ### MODsuit Shield Module Only has one charge instead of three, but it recharges in half the time. This is no longer such a perfect defense, and does somewhat need you to be thinking about how you're utilizing the shield rather than not thinking about defense at all by barreling forward under three potential hits worth of protection. Also much cheaper, at almost half price of 8 TC. Because of how cheap it is (and how much it still is necessary to keep you alive), I've put it into the core equipment box (which brings the price up to 22 TC. As a reminder, this is not meant to be at any discount, and is more aimed towards teaching newer players which items contribute towards success. If you don't want all the times within, don't buy this box, just buy what you want separately.) ## Why It's Good For The Game This is a doozy of an explanation, I hope you're ready for it under the spoiler. <details> With my tackling and bodythrow prs, numerous people expressed exasperation at the fact that these two tools may have been keeping some outlier antagonist gear from becoming too easy to steamroll with if you already knew what you were doing. My intent was to create consistent rules and behaviours that both A) did not rely on bugs to keep the balance of power from tipping one way or the other, and B) was at least consistent or had consistent rules established. This PR is tackling overperforming gear combinations for already competent nukies that may have, over time, crept out of control, and applying some consistency to the rules around similar equipment. AND also deals with quite possibly the most braindead element of game design we've tolerated for about a decade, and half a decade after it was necessary to maintain that decision. Part of the culprit of this issue is that, specifically in regards to nukies, crew can't use the vast majority of their weapons effectively against them. This largely is because this antagonist can gain immunities to those types of equipment. And that is rapidly increasing as we move closer towards outright ballistic removal. I don't think the game is made healthier by everyone on the station having to fight armed mercenaries with spears, and doesn't make much thematic sense either. More so, most greener players probably just don't know this is how it works, and so surprise Pikachu when their lasers bounce off nukies harmlessly. (This bit reminds me of the problem of new players using disablers against simple mobs) But of course, that isn't the only part of the problem. The other half is due to being able to be layered on a much more broad defensive tool in the form of the MODsuit Shield Module, whose three charges could render the mindful nukie near untouchable if they're pairing it with some other layered defense, such as a desword. Notice that this doesn't really address armor. The culprit is negation, and not mitigation, and we should be sparing in how easily we hand out outright effect negation simply because it isn't super obvious to a new player why it happened, and how to resolve it. At the very least, we should look to find ways to add options for players to overcome these problems. Especially with teamwork. Energy projectile immunity made sense while there floated around an energy projectile that ostensibly would down you in a single shot. Nukies ALSO had projectile weapons that worked much the same (c-20r stun bullets, taser shot bulldogs, etc.), so it was predominantly tit-for-tat. These immunity granting equipment pieces forced crew members to get shotguns and ballistic guns to fight these dangers; something more available at the time. We've exercised large bits and pieces of this from the game a long time ago, but we still have some remnants convinced we're still in a taser-rich, ballistic available environment. We need to move the games languishing tools into the modern era and re-established their place in the game. Namely, the double-energy sword and the combat energy shield are almost entirely unchanged besides refactors for the last decade or so, even while the game around them have changed. They've been a continuous sore point for me in all my time developing and a constant nagging issue. I want to deal with it now. MODsuit Shield Module is just kind of really good and only made stronger the more defenses you have. It's good to have a defense like this, but I think it is too brain dead. With only one charge, it will save you from a lost joust here and there, but it won't make it as simple as running right at every problem you encounter and eating a volley of attacks while you kill someone with impunity. **With regards to traitors**, since they also get double-energy swords; I'm open to suggestions if this is hitting them far too hard, but I'm not terribly concerned using this weapon for a few reasons. **Firstly**, I think their presence amongst the crew make it a much better weapon for tots than nukies (in isolation) simply because they can find ways to exploit it via tools they gather from the station. It is a force multiplier. Traitors also have a much bigger element of surprise usually. **Secondly**, round-start traitors typically grow to be a bit stronger over time, but I don't foresee many waiting to pay for the double-energy sword unless they're already flush with TC. So if a traitor is in a position after they've unlocked access to it to buy one of these, they are probably doing pretty okay for themselves. </details> ### TL;DR Defense stacking and attack immunities are not particularly healthy things to both design around, or experience in-game. They are kind of just relics of the past made only sorer once I ripped off a few bandaids. This is a source of a number of symptomatic issues in the game, so let's fix that and make it easier on all of us going forward. Much of the way these things worked operated on extremely outdated design considerations. It doesn't make sense for them to work like this today, and only makes things harder by keeping the status quo. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Mundane sword-like and medieval weapons are not able to block tackles, xenomorph tackles and body throws. balance: The double-energy sword and energy sword have trouble blocking physical projectiles, body throws and tackles. balance: The double-energy sword also no longer has guaranteed energy projectile deflection; only doing so on a successful block (75% chance to block). balance: But it does have 40 force now, so it is more lethal a weapon. Traitors can purchase the sword for only 13 TC (down from 16 TC). balance: The combat energy shield (The one you hold) now functions as a normal shield (it used to only protect you against energy projectiles and nothing else). It loses guaranteed energy projectile deflection, but still reflects the projectile so on a block. feature: Death commandos continue to have their energy shields deflect all incoming energy projectiles. Because who cares about deathsquads being balanced? balance: The MODsuit shield module only has one charge, but recharges every 10 seconds. It also costs 8 TC (down from 15). It is also now in the Core Gear beginner box (bringing the total price up to 22 TC). /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <51863163+MrMelbert@users.noreply.github.com> |

Organ movement refactor *Un-nullspaces your organs* (#79687)
<!-- Write **BELOW** The Headers and **ABOVE** The comments else it may not be viewable. --> <!-- You can view Contributing.MD for a detailed description of the pull request process. --> closes #53931, #70916, #53931 ## About The Pull Request Organs were previously stored in nullspace. Now they are stored in their prospective bodyparts. Bodyparts are now stored in the mob. I've also had to refactor a lot of code concerning organ movement. Previously, organs were only moved into bodyparts once the bodyparts were removed. To accomodate this change, two major distinctions have been made: **Bodypart removal/insertion** Called only when an organ is taken out of a bodypart. Bodypart overlays, damage modifiers or other changes that should affect a bodypart itself goes here. **Mob insertion/removal** Called when an organ is removed from a mob. This can either be directly, by taking the organ out of a mob, or by removing the bodypart that contains the organ. This lets you add and remove organ effects safely without having to worry about the bodypart. Now that we controle the movement of bodyparts and organs, we can fuck around with them more. Summoning someones head or chest or heart will actually kill them now (and quite violently I must say (chest summoning gibs lol)). https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/7501474/5efc9dd3-cfd5-4ce4-b70f-d0d74894626e I´ve also added a unit test that violently tears apart and reconstructs a person in different ways to see if they get put toghether the right way This will definitely need a testmerge. I've done a lot of testing to make sure interactions work, but more niche stuff or my own incompetence can always slip through. ## Why It's Good For The Game <!-- Argue for the merits of your changes and how they benefit the game, especially if they are controversial and/or far reaching. If you can't actually explain WHY what you are doing will improve the game, then it probably isn't good for the game in the first place. --> A lot of organ work is quite restricted. You can't C4 someones heart, you cant summon their organs and a lot of exceptions have to be made to keep organs in nullspace. This lets organs (and bodyparts) play more nicely with the rest of the game. This also makes it a lot easier to move away from extorgans since a lot of their unique movement code has been removed and or generalized. I don't like making PRs of this size (I'm so sorry reviewers), but I was in a unique position to replace the entire system in a way I couldn't have done conveniently in multiple PRs ## Changelog <!-- If your PR modifies aspects of the game that can be concretely observed by players or admins you should add a changelog. If your change does NOT meet this description, remove this section. Be sure to properly mark your PRs to prevent unnecessary GBP loss. You can read up on GBP and it's effects on PRs in the tgstation guides for contributors. Please note that maintainers freely reserve the right to remove and add tags should they deem it appropriate. You can attempt to finagle the system all you want, but it's best to shoot for clear communication right off the bat. --> 🆑 refactor: Your organs are now inside your body. Please report any issues with bodypart and organ movement, including exotic organ, on github and scream at me fix: Cases of unexpected organ movement, such as teleporting bodyparts and organs with spells, now invokes a proper reaction (usually violent death) runtime: Fixes HARS runtiming on activation/deactivation fix: Fixes lag when species swapping /🆑 <!-- Both 🆑's are required for the changelog to work! You can put your name to the right of the first 🆑 if you want to overwrite your GitHub username as author ingame. --> <!-- You can use multiple of the same prefix (they're only used for the icon ingame) and delete the unneeded ones. Despite some of the tags, changelogs should generally represent how a player might be affected by the changes rather than a summary of the PR's contents. --> |

"Security Implant" rework, prisoner management console updates (#79882)
## About The Pull Request For the vernacular purposes of the following PR body -- "Security Implant" refers to the existing subset of implants given, by security, to captured prisoners and such as a punitive, controlling measure. This includes the chemical, tracking, and maybe exile implants. This revamps the functionality of how "security" implants are displayed on huds, prisoner management console implant controls/readouts, and their instrumentality. It was also, ultimately, an attempt at nerfing the tracking implant that spiralled far out of control. Rather than only displaying chemical on the right and tracking on the left, all implants with the "security implant" flag will be trackable on SecHuds. A maximum of two can be implanted at once. This is both due to technical limitations, but also conveniently provides security a limit to consider when choosing implants. Implants now also occupy their HUD slot based on the order they were implanted in, rather than always occupying the same spot. Neat!  From two (three if you count the exile implant), there are now five security implants. _The tracker implant has been split into two of these implants._ <details> <summary>Summary of the implants, functions, changes:</summary> <br> - **Tracker (Red)** -- No longer grants teleporter beacon. Tracking radius has been increased from 20 to 35 tiles. The Prisoner Management Console will now list the area the prisoner is occupying as well. Disables after the implantee is dead for 10 minutes. - **Chemical (Blue)** -- No mechanical changes. The implant pad readout has been modified slightly. - **Exile (Green)** -- In addition to past functionality, station shuttle controls (public, mining, etc.) will be unresponsive for the implantee. Flimsy, but more effective than a stern warning not to come back from lavaland. - **Beacon (Yellow)** -- Implantee becomes a teleporter beacon. The prisoner console will report if their currently occupied area is hazardous or not, so half of the security team doesn't blindly teleport into space or lava. Disables after the implantee is dead for 10 minutes. Available from Cargo. - **Teleport Blocker (Deep Blue, not shown)** -- Prevents the implantee from being teleported. Ever wanted to keep a wizard or cultist in a cell? This is where you can start. Available from Cargo, expensive and scarce. Each of the implants has some application that would benefit security if used on a captured criminal. Their usefulness may overlap in some places, but the overall range of control these implants give security is broadened. </details> The implant control console has also been given a small facelift. Certain implants provide more useful readouts that can help officers locate, control, or capture an implantee, rewarding cooperation between officers. It has also been totally converted into TGUI by @MrMelbert. Kickass! Also, You can now remotely destroy implants, either to relieve criminals from their punishment or to make room for a different implant. Wardens should keep hold of their ID and remember to log out, since a motivated convict could use it to shed their implants!  Everything made in this PR _should_ be scaleable enough to allow for new security implant types to be implemented with relative ease. The teleport-blocker implant was a last minute attempt to prove it to myself. I had a few more ideas for implants in my head, but figured this PR was already getting big and ugly enough. That is all for another day. I truly apologize if there's anything I've missed in here. I did a lot of this over a long period of time and kind of just... sat on it for a while. If there's any confusing our unexplained changes, feel free to point them out and I'll try to give an explanation. ## Why It's Good For The Game The goal of this PR is to give a bit more depth to security's armory implants. The intent is to present a choice in what implants are given (rather than just tracker and maybe chem if you're feeling spiteful), and to make them more useful as punitive/monitoring tools. The tracker implant needed a nerf (and probably still does regardless of this PR's success). It's never used for tracking since the teleporter beacon is much more direct (+ gives a virtually free attack opportunity), and the tracking range was incredibly subpar. I'd rather not take toys away from security, but having the best option not be roundstart gear feels like a fair compromise. Warden content. Wardens have more gear to budget for and use at their own (or the HOSes) discretion. The changes to the prisoner console allow them to coordinate with officers to get good value out of the implants they've chosen for an implantee. Gives antagonists an alternate way to get de-implanted, without external help, that can only be granted at the fault of security. Wardens who dish out implants must keep an eye on the people carrying them! ## Changelog 🆑 Rhials, MrMelbert add: The Tracker implant has had its teleport beacon functionality migrated to the new (cargo accessible) Beacon implant. add: Teleport Blocker security implant, that prevents the implantee from teleporting by any means. Purchasable from cargo. add: Security implants may now be harmlessly self-destructed at the Prisoner Management Console. balance: The Tracker implant tracking radius has increased from 20 to 35 tiles. The Prisoner Management Console will track and display the area the implantee is in as well. balance: The exile implant now prevents implantees from operating shuttle controls. code: Various code improvements and removal of unused vars in the Prisoner Management Console code: The HUD slots for chem/tracking implants have been converted to display any implant with the IMPLANT_TYPE_SECURITY flag and an associated sprite. spellcheck: Modifies various implant pad readouts, removing false information and rewriting some sections. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <kmelbert4@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <51863163+MrMelbert@users.noreply.github.com> |

Explodes device.dmi (#80025)
## About The Pull Request I woke up today and thought 'what would be easy thing to do today so I can say I've done something?'. Then I remembered I saw several gangtool usages the time I split radio up, and I could remedy those. 7 hours later, device.dmi is split in a folder of its own, and I've also given unique sprites to door remotes and landing desginators. ## Why It's Good For The Game The device.dmi was kind of a mess. ## Changelog 🆑 /🆑 |

Attack chain refactoring: Broadening tool_act into item_interact, moving some item interactions to... atom/item_interact / item/interact_with_atom (#79968)
## About The Pull Request Implements half of this (with some minor changes):  The ultimate goal of this is to split our attack chain in two: - One for non-combat item interactions - Health analyzer scanning - using tools on stuff - surgery - Niche other interactions - One for combat attacking - Item hit thing, item deal damage. - Special effects on attack would go here. This PR begins this by broadining tool act into item interact. Item interact is a catch-all proc ran at the beginning of attack chain, before `pre_attack` and such, that handles the first part of the chain. This allows us to easily catch item interaction and cancel the attack part of the chain by using deliberate bitflag return values, rather than `TRUE` / `FALSE`*. *Because right now, `TRUE` = `cancel attack`, no matter what, which is unclear to people. Instead of moving as much as possible to the new proc in this PR, I started by doing some easy, obvious things. More things can be moved in the future, or technically they don't even need to move in a lot of cases. ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert refactor: Refactored some methods of items interacting with other objects or mobs, such as surgery and health analzyers. Report if anything seems wrong /🆑 |

Scopes NODECONSTRUCT_1 from flags_1 to obj_flags (#80104)
This flag only worked on the `/obj/structure` and `/obj/machinery` level, so let's rescope it from `flags_1` and put it where it belongs - `obj_flags`. Bitflag operators should be scoped to their subtype specific bitfield, not really useful to have this take up a spot on the `/atom` level if absolutely nothing other than `/obj`s use it. |

Replaces unused xeno "weed extract" item in abandoned crates with, well, weed (#80157)
## About The Pull Request Rather than granting you an otherwise-entirely unused "weed extract" item on a rare 1% roll, an abandoned crate will now give you a random assortment of cannabis seeds and samples. ## Why It's Good For The Game Getting an unusable do-nothing item as a reward is kinda lame, this is at least smokable. ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert qol: Replaces unused xeno weed extract item in abandoned crates with a random assortment of cannabis. /🆑 |

Demotes the "electrical conductivity" flag from flags_1 to obj_flags (#80033)
## About The Pull Request
Code to handle this flag only ever existed on the `/obj` sublevel, so
there's no need for it to be on the `/atom` level `flags_1`. There was
probably a point in time in which mobs or turfs conducted electricity
but there's zero code for it anymore so we truly just live in a society
now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Frees up a slot on `flags_1` (which is really nice actually), proper
scoping of certain bitflag stuff, etc.
## Changelog
Not relevant to players.
I may have screwed something up, will be doing a few passes on this
myself to ensure all the search and replaces went alright but we should
be good™️
