balance: The meth explosion temperature has been raised.
Being shot and exploded in under five seconds in a relatively easy to make manner is not fun for anyone.
Goonchat will use the asset cache, you now have to specify who to send the icons too.
Goonchat will now load icons in the background, displaying them once they load. this prevents the message from being delayed while the icons are sent.
Icons that aren't preloaded using the asset cache system will not render on ie8 clients. This is because of a ie8 bug that prevents changes on runtime created images from rendering.
Also changes New -> Initialize in most of them.
renamed: `code/game/machinery/computer/computer.dm` -> `code/game/machinery/computer/_computer.dm`
renamed: `code/game/machinery/machinery.dm` -> `code/game/machinery/_machinery.dm`
Moved all circuitboards to a new folder at `code/game/objects/items/weapons/circuitboards`
🆑 XDTM
experiment: Viruses and symptoms have been havily reworked.
add: Symptoms now have statistic thresholds, that give them new properties or improve their existing ones if the overall virus statistic is above the threshold. Check the pull request in github or the wiki (soon) for the full list.
del: Some symptoms no longer scale linearly with stats, and instead have thresholds.
tweak: The symptom limit is now 6.
del: Viruses can no longer be made invisible to the Pandemic
tweak: Symptoms no longer trigger with a 5% chance every second, but instead have a minimum and maximum number of seconds between each activation, making them more consistent.
del: The symptoms Blood Vomit and Projectile Vomit have been removed, and are now bonuses for the base Vomit symptom.
del: The Weakness symptom has been removed as it was completely useless.
tweak: The Sensory Destruction symptom has been reworked into Narcolepsy, which causes drowsiness and sleep.
tweak: Viral Aggressive Metabolism now has a timer before it starts decaying the virus. It scales with the highest between Resistance or Stage Speed.
add: You can now neuter symptoms, making them inactive. They will still affect stats. Adding formaldehyde to a virus will neuter a random symptom. A bottle of formaldehyde starts in the virus fridge.

Unlisted symptoms do not have threshold bonuses!
All balance is not final, i'll tweak the numbers as necessary.
Why
Threshold bonuses: The reasoning behind these is that they feel more rewarding and impactful than simple number scaling, and gives the option to dedicate symptom space to more symptoms or to upgrade a few central ones instead.
Symptom activation change: the intention behind this is RNG consistency and ease of balance. Currently all symptoms have a 5% chance of activate with few exceptions, making it complicated to tweak.
Neutering: Upgrading positive symptoms by putting a ton of negative ones doesn't work well, in my opinion, especially when they'll trigger their own thresholds making the virus somewhat dangerous instead. Neutering allows players to sidestep that, but i recognize that it swings a bit too far on the other side of the risk/reward balance. I plan on finding a better system to manage virus statistics in the future.
