## 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#73438Closes#75789Closes#80634Closes#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.

## 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.

## 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.

Another one.
## About The Pull Request
This pull request originally had a design doc that @Fikou and I worked
on, but that was never really polished up for publishing quality so I'll
forgo it for now and be as descript as possible here.
### Core changes
- This pull request adds a new NTOS app to the game, the restock
tracker. The restock tracker shows a comprehensive list of vending
machines across the station, as long as there is a need for that vending
machine to get restocked.
- This has also been pre-installed into the cargo data disks.
(`/obj/item/computer_disk/quartermaster`)
- Vending machines now store a total of 20% of the cost of any purchase
made within themselves into a small pool of cash. This only applies to
premium and normal purchases, not to contraband, as they're technically
not sanctioned by the company.
- The restock tracker app will also track which vending machines have
the most credits stored internally inside them.
- By refilling a vending machine, the stored credits within are paid out
to any crewmember who goes and restocks the station, while also paying
out *half that amount to the cargo budget*, serving as a basic but
otherwise easy tertiary money making method on the same level of
complexity as doing bounties, with the added benefit of actually helping
to assist the station for jobs like... assistant.
### Break Stuff
- Anyway, when you try and smash a vending machine open with a melee
weapon of choice, it can now pay out 50 credits at a time as a way to
make money at zero risk to yourself.
- ~~Except for the horrible risk to yourself.~~
### Cargo Specific Changes
- Restock units may now be sold for a small profit as well, to
incentivize cargo to keep the station stocked further.
- The `STATION_TRAIT_VENDING_SHORTAGE` trait will now add a small amount
of existing credits into the vending machines on station, to incentivize
cargo to fix the issue during the round and not just push for an early
shuttle call. Or, more accurately, provide the crew with a money making
scheme to engage better with the station trait as it stands.
### This also refactors behavior on vending machines
- This pull request also finally changes it so that vending machines now
use the payment component, which as a consequence allows for the
following improvements:
* Vending machines may now pull from physical credits on your person,
not just requiring you to have money on your ID card.
* Vending machines may also use credits being pulled by the player
interacting with the vending machine, allowing for handless mobs to be
able to purchase items from a vending machine.
* Finally makes the "use-for-everything buying things component" used by
the most utilized component of the in-game economy, to reduce the
quantity of unique implementations of purchasing things in the code.
- Existing vending specific checks are retained on before handing off
behavior to the payment component, for behavior such as purchasing
cigarettes/alcohol under the age of 18/21.
Notes:
- Vending machines will lose their internal credits stored when
deconstructed, as a security measure.
- Vending machines will now show the total amount of credits that a mob
has on their person, combining physical credits as well as credits held
in their ID card to accurately portray their total wealth across the mob
in question.
## Why It's Good For The Game
First off, this is largely an excuse to move vending machine behavior
over to the payment component for the purposes to less code copy-paste,
and to try and make the implementation more wide-spread.
Second, this implements a new tertiary economy method to the game, in
the same design space as bounties, which serve as common methods of
making money without necessarily being specific to their job in
question, with the primary goal of providing small amounts of work to
the crew and a basic interaction with the economy system.
Additionally, it gives cargo more things they can do to assist the
station, and a way to know which parts of the station need support as a
result.
It improves the interaction between the vending shortage station trait
as well, making it a challenge with depth as opposed to a more
oppressive round change that players would rather reroll the game over.
Additionally, this makes a few price tweaks to vending restock modules
as well to help incentivize buying some of the more minor restock kits,
and a few select bumps on restocks that cover wide enough territory to
necessitate fewer restocks.
## About The Pull Request
Adds a new Trait Job (jobs which only appear when the station gets a
trait for it) - Veteran Advisor.
The weight of the trait is 2 which makes it very rare.
Veteran Security Advisor is a role designated as a (duh) Advisor for the
HoS and Captain, as well as a mentor for all of the Officers. This is
because it has an experience requirement of **100 SECURITY HOURS**, so
no green Veterans.
Veteran Security Advisors are paraplegic (bonded to a wheelchair) and
with PTSD which freezes their mood and sometimes causes hallucinations.
They get an M1911 pistol in a holster because that's badass.

## Why It's Good For The Game
More funny Trait Jobs to the game!
There is a certain lack of those, there is only Cargorilla and Bridge
Assistant.
This job has big opportunities. Advisors can behave themselves like
drill sergeants, or wise old mentors. Because they are kinda, as people
only with 100 Security hours (yes those masochists exist) could play it
when it appears. This will also open opportunities for retired Sec mains
to tutor new generations without being directly involved in all of the
stress.
I mostly took a look at the Goonstation "Nanotrasen Security Consultant"
and Baystation "Senior Enlisted Advisor" as inspiration.
I tried to cut down any chances of this role being abused by power
gamers for its M1911 pistol and Bridge access, due to this they are
paraplegic so power gamers get disgusted, and if someone does somehow
win Antagonists while in a wheelchair - props to them, pure skill.
**REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A TRAIT JOB!** This means they won't appear
every round, but rather rarely! So they fit in as an occasional extra
fun for the round.
## Changelog
🆑
add: NEW TRAIT JOB: Veteran Security Advisor! Advise HoS and Captain on
Security matters, mentor Security Officers. Note that they are
paraplegic and fully emotional desensitized due to their past
experience.

## About The Pull Request
Removes RNG items from the possible pool of items that gets given to
contractors when they buy their kit.
Contract kit:
## Why It's Good For The Game
The idea is that contractors should have the things they need in order
to begin contracting in the first place.
They are given thermals + SyndEye to find targets.
Modsuit/Contractor Suit/Chameleon mask+jumpsuit to conceal/disguise
their identity.
Their Jammer + Baton in order to pull off successful abductions without
getting dogpiled by the entire station.
In their current state, contractors are too weak, when at the end of the
day, the most harm they are doing is temporarily removing a crew member
for like 5 minutes. They should have a bit more power now in order to
have a bit more impact into the round.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a signal when someone buys an item from the uplink and removes
single-letter vars from the ``spawn_item`` proc, and adds/standardizes
add/removing of telecrystals from uplinks (and admin setting how much TC
they have) to ensure the UI always has the right amount of telecrystals
displayed in it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
There are reasons why someone would want to hook up to a traitor's
uplink and listen to items they purchase to do any special effect
on-purchase, so this adds support to do anything in the future with it.
Also tells players how much TC they actually have without forcing them
to close/reopen the UI every time they insert some TC in it by hand.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Uplinks now update their UI when you add telecrystals in them, so
you don't need to close and reopen it.

## About The Pull Request
It turns out the messenger circuit wasn't working as intended, because
list components tend to convert datum keys into weakrefs, creating
incoherence between composite datum/atom and simple datum/atom
datatypes, which at least just spares us from the headache of clearing
the refs on del from lists too.
So, taking the shortest path, I decided to adapt the messenger to the
weak ref usage.
Another thing, instead of refusing altogether to send message that
trigger the pda filter regexes, the messenger circuit will instead
replace the matches with grawlix, since we have no way to inform
whoever's responsible for said message about the filters in an orthodox
way.
Beside that, I've noticed several of the circuits from my PR were
lacking trigger outputs or similar when needed, pretty making them only
as half as functional, at least to a noob like me.
And another small issue with missing ports from the status display
circuit.
One more suggestion from moocow is to add a cooldown to the ringtone
trigger for the messenger circuit, because he said it's pretty spammy
and some admins are fickle.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Bugfixing and improvements.
## Changelog

them.

I had made the bad assumption that a pAI card always had a pAI mob in

## About The Pull Request
This PR integrates circuits for modular computers and a good bits of
their programs.
The peculiarity here is that modular computers have no fixed amount of
unremovable components (except the base one with just a couple ports for
now), instead, they're added and removed along with programs. With a few
exceptions (such as the messenger and signaler), for these program
circuits to work, their associated program has to be either open or in
the background.
For a reason or another, not all programs have a circuit associated to
them, still, however the programs with a circuit are still a handful.
They are:
- Nanotrasen Pay System
- Notepad
- SiliConnect
- WireCarp
- MODsuit Control
- Spectre Meter
- Direct Messenger*
- LifeConnect
- Custodial Locator
- Fission360
- Camera
- Status Display
- SignalCommander
*By the by, sending messages has a cooldown, so it shouldn't be as
spammy. If it turns out to not be enough, I can make it so messages from
circuit will be ignored by other messenger circuits.
The PR is no longer WIP.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I believe modular computers could make for some interesting setups with
circuits, since they're fairly flexible and stocked with features unlike
many other appliances, therefore also a speck more abusable, though
limits, cooldowns, logging and sanitization have been implemented to
keep it in check.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Modular Computers now support integrated circuits. What can be done
with them depends on the programs installed and whether they're running
(open or background).
add: Modular Consoles (the machinery) now have a small backup cell they
draw power from if the power goes out.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds in a new app that scans the nearby area for "spookiness"
(e.g. presence of ghosts, mobs with the spirit biotype, objects made
with hauntium or containing hauntium). A bit clunky by all means. It's a
maintenance app, and as such is more often found in the rare maintenance
computer disks, or downloadable from emagged PDAs (IIRC), or perhaps the
black market item which I've also added here as well, that might contain
it amongst other things.
Oh, if you also have the camera app, it'll let you take pictures of
ghosts like the 'camera obscura' does.
Oh, and there's also a maintenance version of the arcade program too;
just , like, lazier and easier.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mostly a shower thought, 'cause I felt the idea maintenance disks to be
quite interesting yet lackluster, almost too niche. As for the remote
thought of using the app for validhunting, it isn't something you can
reliably get every and every other round, and if someone's got enough
ghosts circling them, chances are they're some big, loud antag or doing
something so cheeky, that they kinda deserve it.
Also, yeah, more black market stuff. Except for the misc section, it's
pretty lacking in uniqueness.

coded app that, as the name implies, scan an area for spectral presence.

maintenance.
add: Black market computer disks, which contains programs not readily
available to the average assistant.

## About The Pull Request
adds a station trait which adds a new role, the bridge assistant
he is designed to help commandeer the bridge and help out other heads
when needed. he is armed with the mini energy gun (the one heads used to
have on kilostation), a flash, a toolbelt (with an inducer), some cool
shades and a swanky scarf.
as he is a nerd he is weak and unable to twohand weapons, preventing him
from wielding the fire axe.
currently he does not have a mindshield but he cannot roll antag
he currently has access to the bridge, announcement console, eva,
teleporter, gateway, maint, and a weapon permit (somewhat (not really
other than for nerds) interestingly this is the first job that isnt
assistant that doesnt have access to any lathes, so he doesnt have orm
access unlike all the other jobs (except assistant))
the trait also makes a coffee machine spawn on the bridge
here is some useful art of your role
and ingame screenshots
## Why It's Good For The Game
Adds upon the station trait job system with a straight forward role that
IS just a human (unlike the cargorilla), and is pretty basic with no
custom assets or whatever other than hud icons
Having the bridge assistant in some rounds seems like a neat way to
protect it since it gets fucked up in like half the time, while also not
having enough mechanical depth or gameplay as to warrant it as a
permanent role

## About The Pull Request
This is an update that touches many more things all at once (compared to
my other PRs) meant to make PDAs in general feel more consistent and not
take away from one of the experiences we want to encourage: interaction
between players.
1. Replaced all checks of a 'pda' with a 'modular pc'. This means
technically (though not done in-game currently) other modpcs can hold an
uplink, and microwaves can charge laptops.
2. Speaking of microwave, they now don't break and require
deconstruction if the cell is removed mid-charge.
3. When a Mod PC is out of power, it will now allow the Messenger to
work (which now also doesn't consume any additional power), if the app
exists on the PC. Here's a video demonstration
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/53777086/7ae12f81-a271-49b8-95fa-2ba54d2e2d1f
4. Flashlights can't be turned on while the cell is dead
5. I replaced a bunch of program vars with ``program_flags`` and renamed
``usage_flags`` to ``can_run_on_flags``.
6. Added a debug modPC that has every app installed by default. Mafia
had some issues in the past that were unknown because Mafia wasn't
preinstalled with any tablet so was never in create & destroy nor in any
other unit test. This was just an easy solution I had, but PDAs should
get more in-depth unit tests in the future for running apps n stuff- I
just wanted to make sure no other apps were broken/harddeling.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Currently when a PDA dies, its only use is to reply to PDA messages sent
to you, since you can still reply to them. Instead of just fixing it and
telling players to cope, I thought it would be nice to allow PDA
Messenger to still work, as it is a vital app.
You can call it some emergency power mode or whatever, I don't really
mind the reason behind why it is this way.
When I made cells used more on PDAs, my main goal was to encourage
upgrading your PDA and/or limiting how many apps you use at once, I did
not want this to hit on players who use it as a form of interaction.
This is the best of both worlds, I think.
The rest of the changes is just for modularity, if some downstream wants
to add tablets, phone computers, or whatever the hell else, they can
still get just as far as PDAs should be able to get to, hopefully.
## Changelog
🆑
add: PDAs with a dead power cell are now limited to using their
Messenger app.
fix: Microwaves now stop charging PDAs if the cell was removed
mid-charge.
fix: Microwaves can now charge laptops.
fix: PDA Flashlights can't be turned on while the PDA is dead.
fix: You can now hold a laptop up to a camera (if it has a notekeeper
app installed) like PDAs already could.

## 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
/🆑
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

I've stumbled across this enough to finally go through the entire
codebase and fix it. I left out changelogs simply because rewriting
history logs is bad.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I find it pretty annoying because I stumble across words that are
misspelled for a few seconds, and I'm likely not the only one who feels
like this. Less spelling mistakes in code are better.

## About The Pull Request
I deleted the documentation file of ModPCs because it was barebones and
had no new information to give that autodoc couldn't. Just to make sure
this isn't a net-negative, I improved on much of the autodoc and
comments in general around ModPC code to help people understand easier
what's going on around it.
I also renamed vars that were too easily confused with other var names,
and reworked the ntnet downloader a little;
- it now has a search bar
- it now has more sections to scroll through, hopefully making it more
accurate and easy to find what you need.
- also organized the apps that were previously shoved in 'other'.
- i also upgraded it to a .tsx because why not

## About The Pull Request
Currently, every time you open/close a program, that activity is logged
for the RD to see. This includes Nukies opening their disk tracking app.
Now, emagged PDAs will no longer log activities to Wirecarp, but I did
replace it with a log when the PDA is first emagged.
Basically, nukies are undetected, but Traitors can still be figured out.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/77201
I thought this would be better as it makes more sense to stop logging
when you're emagged, but as you are being emagged it will report the
modification instead.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: PDAs now log that they've been emagged, but will no longer log any
further programs they open beyond that. This means Nukies don't sell
themselves out by opening their disk tracking app.

## About The Pull Request
Mafia should now start without the need of admin intervention.
I made a unit test that should always have a PDA and a ghost spawning in
a game of Mafia and having it run through basic setup to confirm they
both successfully sign up and the game starts.
I had to change a lot of things in order to get this working, such as
giving unique ckeys to mock clients, fixing harddels in Mafia, and
plenty of minor fixes. This is the first time any of this code is put in
CI, so a lot of uncaught errors are now showing their faces.
Because loading maps mid-round runtimes due to smoothing, I have mafia
their own unit test-only map that doesn't use smoothing.
I also split the mafia ui code into its own file, and moved a single
helper that was sitting around in mafia's file into a helpers file.
I also added some comments to explain why certain things are the way
they are, because I wrote some undocumented code previously and forgot a
few things, leading to self-inflicted wasted time.

## About The Pull Request
Improves penlight sprite and code.
A new type of pen has been introduced - the Security Pen. This pen is
red and can create a holograph around a person, similar to a medical
penlight. The holograph prompts the person to surrender for 30 seconds,
and the holograph itself is visible for 5. There is a 30-second cooldown
between usage.
Holosign itself does nothing except be visual, just like medical
holosign **(DO NOT MISTAKE HOLOSIGNS FOR HOLOBARRIERS)**
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/42353186/1ee5f794-7218-4e52-b04f-3ebb50bd224a
Now every Security member spawns with a Security Pen in their PDA.
Now you can print Security Pens at Security Techfab, and Penlights at
Medical Techfab.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The only way to prompt someone to perform the surrender emote is by
holding them up with a gun. However, this mechanic can be quite
unreliable, even after updates, especially if the person is moving. As a
result, many players are unaware of how to prompt the surrender emote or
even about its existence, so they don't know they can trigger it
themselves by typing "*surrender".
This enables non-lethal arrests without stun batons or other tools.
Sprites are a significant improvement as the previous penlight sprites
were outdated.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: There is now a more convenient way to prompt surrender to emote -
the Security Pen. Each officer is equipped with one in their PDA. Simply
click someone with it to prompt a 30-second surrender. They are
printable at Security Techfab as well.
qol: Penlights now are printable at Medical Techfab.
image: Penlights got a new cleaner sprite to replace its ancient one
code: The code for Penlight's holographic sign has been improved.

## About The Pull Request
Mafia is now friggin playable from the PDA, I also changed other stuff
too
- You can't use abilities on dead people if you're not supposed to (cant
kill the same person over and over)
- Changelings cant kill other Changelings
- Changelings can now only talk to eachother at night, rather than using
:j
- Everyone starts spawned in the center of the map, since people playing
on PDA can't move their characters. This is so everyone can hear PDA
users in person, as I don't want the chat log to be mandatory.
To do this, all messages you are meant to be able to see, is now logged
for you to see in your Mafia panel. This essentially means that people
playing through the PDA get a downgraded version of it, but I don't know
how much larger I want this UI to be.
Playing Mafia through the PDA will not tell you of other players ahead
of time when signing up (as it shows ckeys + pdas), but they can see the
names in-game. Unfortunately this means we'll have to remove your
customization coming with you, to prevent using it to tell who is dead
in round.
Things I am missing
- Program overlays on PDA/Laptop/Computer
- Icon for the app's header while a game is active
I'm not a spriter and can't make either of these
This is the new UI
I also fixed alert calls for PDAs and stuff
and removed the X at the top on computers since they had no battery
Looks a little better now hopefully 👍
## Why It's Good For The Game
- The current Arcade app sucks, and is a solo game. This is much more
entertaining and you can talk to others in it, which is swag as fuck.
- There's a larger potential playerbase for the Minigame making it more
likely to be played.
- Sets groundwork for a better version of
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/75879
- Adds more suspense and teamwork in the minigame.

fix: PDA flashlights wont cause the cell to constantly drain faster and
faster.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
So one aspect of PDAs that I quite liked previously was managing and
upgrading your power.
This was lost when all cell parts got removed, mostly, and now I'd like
to re-add it.
PDAs and Tablets now use more power each second it's on
Programs being active/idle now take charge too.
And all this now takes ``seconds_per_tick`` into account.
Screenshots of APC use before and after having 6 programs open at once
PDA default power cells have a max charge of 1000, each cell use is
around ``1.00970340315`` power, which is ``1.01013789399`` w/ 2 programs
in idle and 1 active program (which is what PDAs are capable of). This
means it takes about 990 ticks to fully drain your power, or about 50
minutes, at max use.
This is completely blasted away the moment you put anything beyond a t1
cell inside of it, which is unfortunate but what can you do about tiered
parts being so poor.
The problem of no public PDA chargers are alleviated by
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78600
### Update
The PDA flashlight being on now also drains the battery 25% times
faster. PDA running out of charge now also turns the flashlight off.
## Why It's Good For The Game
You may or may not have to actually charge your PDA once in a round now,
maybe. I liked this part of tablets and would like to see it brought
back, managing your power to use your apps is important to ensure you're
not just using all apps 24/7
Because this also adds the functionality to add/remove power cells
again, it opens up to some minor little pranks/messing with people that
isn't completely destroying their tools, as well as some minor
upgradeability.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: You can now remove and replace power cells from PDAs (with
screwdriver).
balance: PDAs now drain their power cells harder, and also take into
account active programs & their flashlight being on.

## About The Pull Request
This PR lets pAIs inserted into a PDA to control the PDA of their owner.
They can see their own pAI configurations but cannot edit any of it.
They also can't eject themselves from it.
This means they can receive and send PDA messages as their owner, acting
like a personal secretary
This also adds support for multiple people using a PDA and its UI
updating for all of them and PDA messages being received and responded
to from multiple people under the same PDA
It also removes pAI camera in favor of using siliconcamera, which is the
same thing; this just cuts down on some copy paste.
I also reverted PDA's ringer being off preventing messages from being
sent to your chat, silent mode was meant to prevent only the ringing
sound.
## Why It's Good For The Game
pAIs can now do a little bit more to help their owners on a personal
level, and adds support for more stuff like this in the future (an idea
I had was being able to hack into PDAs in the same way the CE can hack
into APCs remotely)
This is a re-PR of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/76445 but
it's a little better this time and does not remove the PDA Messenger app
from pAIs.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: PDAs being on silent no longer prevents PDAs from being sent to
your chat, again.

## About The Pull Request
Replaces the Traitor's Camera Bug item with an application that allows
you to view camera apps.
The difference between this app and the Security one is that it does not
have an access requirement, does not make noise (it didn't previously
due to a bug, fixed in this PR), and can be installed on PDAs.
This can also be installed from syndienet, which means nukies now have a
way to see the station cameras while off the ship.
Adds Syndicate app disks, which are made of Gold. This is only used by
the Camera app as of right now.
I also fixed some issues along the way;
- Camera tablet app now properly shows cameras
- It now properly makes the noises it is supposed to
- It clears the viewers properly on the ui being closed or the app being
exited.
Syndicate app disks ddelete their apps upon being transferred over (like
maintenance disks), trying to remain consistent with previous behavior.
I also made this for a [personal project I am currently working
on](https://hackmd.io/XLt5MoRvRxuhFbwtk4VAUA). I could just make this UI
be TGUI, but I thought it could be worth trying to turn it into a better
item first.
Tracking people is much simpler now- You choose anyone from a list of
people found on cameras, and it will try to find a camera that sees
them. It follows them until you close the app or switch camera.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/53777086/1536ebb9-0c4f-45bb-b593-f98791ea6d23
## Why It's Good For The Game
The Camera Bug is one of the worst traitor items as of current. You can
remotely shut off a single camera, something that can be done with basic
tools you are likely carrying around anyways, and uses an HTML clunky UI
to flip through cameras.
This new Traitor item makes it much easier to use, since the camera
consoles are something you are likely already used to.
It also means emagging a tablet is slightly more useful, and golden data
disks are pretty cool.
Unfortunately this means that they no longer grant illegal tech, because
otherwise you can simply clone the app infinitely for personal use, and
deconstruct the disk itself for tech. This can be grinded into gold, but
I think if we want an illegal tech item, it'll have to find a new host.

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
New malf AI upgrade
Remote safety overrides: Mid-cost, Mid-supply. Allows the AI to remotely
emag things it can see and can access.
1. Very useful for psychological warfare (Emagging APCs to throw the
crew off their trail)
2. Logically makes sense - why, of all things, can the AI not emag
anything when it's fundumentally integrated with the station's
electronics?
3. Generally speaking can only access things that make sense for it to
access - it cannot emag ethereals, sadly
In order for this to work, emag_act now returns a boolean, designating
if the emag had any effect.
While I was in there, I also added args to every single emag_act I could
find and added far more feedback/converted a lot of things to balloon
alerts to allow the AI to see if its emag had any effect.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It just makes sense that the AI, the most electronically-sensitive
entity in the game, would be able to emag things. Plus, more options
given to malf that aren't strictly MURDER KILL MURDER are always a plus,
especially if they allow for fancier plays.
## Changelog
🆑
add: New malf ability: Remote safety overrides. Allows the AI to
remotely emag things it has access to.
code: emag_act() now returns a boolean designating it's success in

existing feedback has been sanity checked and converted to balloon
alerts.

Remove welder fuel usage from all actions except attacking and leaving
it on
most welder tasks require a minimum of 1u of fuel, some longer tasks
require a minimum of 2 or 3u welders now drain 1u every 5 seconds
they're active
## About The Pull Request
Prior to this PR welder fuel usage was random, a lot of tasks didn't use
any welder fuel and welders were basically near infinite so long as you
didn't use them for combat, it took 26 seconds of activity to drain 1u
of fuel, that means an emergency welder alone could run for 5 minutes
straight before needing a refuel
After this PR all welders will drain 1u every 5 seconds instead of every
26 seconds, but welding objects won't require extra fuel anymore, making
the fuel usage much more consistent.
resolves#55018
## Why It's Good For The Game
Actually makes fuel tanks useful and relevant without making it
obnoxious to do repetitive quick tasks like turn rods into plates,
there's actually a reason to upgrade off the emergency welder now since
it lasts 50 seconds rather than 5 minutes
