Cables now autoconnect on cardinal directions. All cable placement has been completely stripped out and replaced with simple single cable per tile logic.
Low effort demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXp8s6ORWbA
Yes I am aware that cutting it is not dropping wire, that version was bugged.
Cables no longer need a knot specifically placed to link to power objects. The sprite is automatically changed to represent this.
The only exception to this logic is that on smes units, due to the terminal being next to the output, they will not link there.
On a technical powernet side, this is the same as old cables once actually placed. They still use the existing powernet system, just the placement and connection works differently.
Old cables have been turned into "pipe cleaners" for wire art purposes. they work just like the old ones, just missing all the powernet functionality, and also you can put them on top of the floor.
Why It's Good For The Game
How obnoxious cables were to both map and work with in game has been something that has annoyed me for a really long time now.
This is both easier for new players to learn, and easier for experienced players to work with.
Along with making in game much more intuitive and easier, it makes mapping much easier as well. Mad lad wjohn was able to rip out all the mapping conversion in one day because of how much faster it is to work with.

add: Cables have been completely reworked. Simple per tile connection logic, automatically connects to things above it. Think minecraft redstone.
add: Old cables have been kept as pipe cleaner. They are non-functional in terms of power, but otherwise have the same connection logic. Also can go on top of tiles.
remove: mech cable layer has been removed because it was terrible shitcode nobody used
tweak: (sort of balance) cable stack sized has been reduced to 15.

* fix sechuds
* knockback component can now be reversed, has projectile and gun handling, and hostile simplemob handling
adds signals for hostile mobs attacking, altering projectiles before firing, and for when projectiles successfully hit their target
moves knockback handling to a general proc
adds ishelpers for guns and projectiles
* no more weird projectile handling it can just not apply the effect if the component somehow goes away
lifesteal actually works now instead of being a blank file, applies a flat healing effect when you hit something
* fixes up comsig stuff
adds new components to the fantasy prefix and suffix
knockback now handles throwing anchored objects
lifesteal now properly heals the target with projectiel weapons
adds summoning component to handle mob summoning with item attacking and such
adds fired_from variable to handle what a projectile was fired_from, firer would be the mob that fired and fired_from would be the gun, in the case of an autoturret, fired_from and firer would be the same
adds shrapnel component, fires projectiles around a fired projectile when it hits
adds igniter component to set attacked mobs on fire
* no more shrapnel on items that can't use it
summoning items now summon at least one mob maximum
adds specific weighted projectile types for shrapnel to prevent broken options being picked
removes the reverse var from knockback component and instead just handles negative thrown turf
* Fixes projectiles not hitting mobs, some refactoring too
* some stuff for projectile can hit target to work with not being ontop of an object

fix: Anti-drop implants can no longer be used to drop objects that they
were not responsible for sticking to a person's hand.
fix: Backfiring with a Barnyard spellbook will now play a spooky horse sound.
refactor: Refactors the way that "NODROP" items work to a new system,
there should be no change in functionality.
/🆑
Various items in the codebase were doing weird hoop jumps in order to
preserve the nodrop flag's state when it also wanted to change it, so I
moved it to a trait system.
I may have gone overboard with the type of unique trait sources, but
those can be changed later. My long term plan is make a general "CURSED"
nodrop origin, which means you can unlock cursed items by being hit with
a bolt of door opening or something. But that's for another PR, this has
no functionality changes, apart from some slightly modified descriptions
on cursed masks.
- Removed a bunch of redundant voice changing code for all the voice
changing animal masks, used two new clothing flags for this purpose.
- Also refactored a bit the animal masks, making new cursed subtypes that play
the sound when created.

tweak: Most upgradeable machines now show their upgrade status when examined while standing right next to them.
tweak: Added examine messages to teleporter stations that hint at their multitool/wirecutter interactions.
tweak: Renamed teleporter stations from station to teleporter station.
code: Changed the teleporter hub accurate var to accuracy; the old name misled people into thinking that it was a boolean.
/cl
Machines don't really give players feedback about upgrades, aside from machines like the cloner where new functions are unlocked. I'm adding examine descriptions that should help with this:
Aiming to implement the framework oranges has detailed in https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19102
Moves canmove to a bitflag in a new variable called mobility_flags, that will allow finer grain control of what someone can do codewise, for example, letting them move but not stand up, or stand up but not move.
Adds Immobilize()d status effect that freezes movement but does not prevent anything else.
Adds Paralyze()d which is oldstun "You can't do anything at all and knock down).
Stun() will now prevent any item/UI usage and movement (which is similar to before).
Knockdown() will now only knockdown without preventing item usage/movement.
People knocked down will be able to crawl at softcrit-speeds
Refactors some /mob variables and procs to /mob/living.
update_canmove() refactored to update_mobility() and will handle mobility_flags instead of the removed canmove
cl
rscadd: Crawling is now possible if you are down but not stunned. Obviously, you will be slower.
/cl
Refactors are done. I'd rather get this merged faster than try to fine tune stuff like slips. The most obvious gameplay effect this pr has will be crawling, and I believe I made tiny tweaks but I can't find it Anything I missed or weird behavior should be reported.
honestly? i'm a little hurt nobody else did this when @XDTM made the great suggestion. There are a few problems with the tear in the fabric interaction, hoping a maintainer can help out
* different guns can be inserted into emitters
* fixes portal gun runtime
* You can now switch type through wires
* makes one line more readable
* Fixes being able to grab nodrop guns from emitters
This is in preparation for step_x support as the default behavior for these procs is necessary for proper functionality.
turf/Enter and atom/movable/Move default code got rewritten to replicate default byond functionality with minor changes.
* adds signal and modifies each call of afterattack to call it's inherited proc
* uses new macro for sendsignal()
* map fuck
* skip precommithooks
* combine and negate 2 ifs
add: Analyzers can now scan all kinds of atmospheric machinery - unary, binary, ternary, quaternary, you name it. This means stuff like gas pumps, gas mixers, vents and so forth can be analyzed.
tweak: Analyzers now show temperature in kelvin as well as celsius.
tweak: Analyzers now show total mole count, volume, and mole count of all gases.
tweak: Analyzers show everything at slightly higher degrees of precision.
More accurate and advanced analyzers have been something that I think atmos and toxins mains have been wanting for a while now (including myself). It's always a pain to have to manually add 273.15 to every celsius temperature, or have to use outside tools or VV (which isnt usable in actual games) to calculate mole count for a gas mixture. Not to mention, the ability to analyze things like volume pumps and gas filters makes it easier to manage larger atmos setups. This is just a QoL change for people in any of those jobs. In fact, most players probably don't even know what the fuck is a mole is so adding mole readout to analyzers is a good way to get people to understand atmospherics better.
The component is initialized with any combination of three flags, EMP_PROTECT_SELF protects against effects that target the object itself, EMP_PROTECT_WIRES protects against wires being messed with similar to the NO_EMP_WIRES_1 flag which this PR removes, EMP_PROTECT_CONTENTS protects against things that are inside the object like organs, internal "non-virtual" power cells and the like
This enables (but doesn't introduce) new mechanics such as adding EMP shielding at runtime to any atom, or taking it away.
* Puts back required time for the emitter and field_generator and also removes a certain issue that certain people were causing
* Couple of things I missed
* I noticed the error with regards to atom and changed to obj like I was trying to originally. Also its fine to build on tables that wasnt the issue with this specific aspect.
* Edge windows. We need those.
* optimised the checks to be behind a if check for when you are actually needing to make something for the floor...
* Corrects a input proc by request
* Working is not my strong suit.
