## 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()`
084f56938c/code/game/objects/structures/lavaland/ore_vent.dm (L385)
however this proc also accepts 2 more params `size` which would always
default to `BOULDER_SIZE_SMALL` and `is_artifact` which is simply unused
in the proc
fb83617ff9/code/modules/mining/boulder_processing/boulder.dm (L219)
Therefore vents would always generate small boulders giving us no
varity. Now the boulder size is set depending on the vent size &
durability for each boulder is set to a random value between 2 & the
boulder max size giving us the flavour we actually wanted
- **Fixes "Expanded Gulag boulders" using "normal gulag material list"
when setting its custom materials.**
If you look at the `add_gulag_minerals()` proc it always picks from the
`gulag_minerals` list & accepts no params
fb83617ff9/code/modules/mining/boulder_processing/boulder.dm (L235-L236)
So when we try to pass params to this proc which in reality doesn't
accept any we were wasting our time doing this
fb83617ff9/code/modules/mining/boulder_processing/boulder.dm (L274)
And for our case `expanded_gulag_minerals` list was simply unused
because our proc doesn't care about it and it went back to just using
`gulag_minerals` list thus ignoring our list
fb83617ff9/code/modules/mining/boulder_processing/boulder.dm (L282)
As i said in the "Code Improvement` section when i moved boulder types
into it's own unique file this was fixed & now expanded gulag boulders
actually has a chance to spawn with bluespace crystals inside them
- **Fixes manual tapping of ore vents by hand not using a cooldown**
`produce_boulder()` accepts a cooldown var for when you need to manually
tap the vent by hand.
e8b5b52d54/code/game/objects/structures/lavaland/ore_vent.dm (L374)
This var was always set to FALSE because we never passed `TRUE` into it.
Not once here
e8b5b52d54/code/game/objects/structures/lavaland/ore_vent.dm (L124)
Nor here
e8b5b52d54/code/game/objects/structures/lavaland/ore_vent.dm (L131)
Now we just pass `TRUE` so tapping these vents by hand have a cooldown
- **Fixes BRM off icon state never being used**
When the room ran out of power it would still look on. Now we use that
state correctly
- **Fixes Automatic Boulder Retrieval by the BRM not actually being
automatic**
You must have noticed that once you do "Right click" and wait for all
the boulders it can teleport (determined by `boulder_processing_max`) to
be teleported it stops permanently after that. Even if more boulders get
generated it won't do anything, You have to again "Right click" &
retoggle automatic boulder retrieval on again, thus forcing someone to
stand there & monitor the BRM
Now once you set Automatic Boulder Retrieval on you can leave & forget.
It will teleport boulders as & when available thus enabling automation
properly.
- **Fixes boulders ejected from refineries via right click from getting
teleported back into the machines loc**
Fixes
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78524#issuecomment-1911666995.
The problem is refinery machines & the BRM keep track of all the
boulders that entered into it via the `boulders_contained` list.
Now we directly check `contents` for boulders so we don't have to
maintain 2 seperate lists to keep track of boulders. It also now uses
`processed_by` var of boulders to ensure refinerries don't retake in the
same boulder it just processed. Not sure where exactly the problem got
fixed but implementing these 2 measures fixed it regardless.
- **Fixes boulders with 0 durability[a.k.a steps] from getting ejected
out**
Fixes
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78524#issuecomment-1914551952.
So inside `process()` we constantly decrease the durability of the
boulder till it becomes 0.
0a496f180c/code/modules/mining/boulder_processing/_boulder_processing.dm (L159)
When it reaches 0 it calls `breakdown_boulder()`
0a496f180c/code/modules/mining/boulder_processing/_boulder_processing.dm (L164-L165)
This proc has a chance to reject the boulder if it could not process any
materials
0a496f180c/code/modules/mining/boulder_processing/_boulder_processing.dm (L219-L222)
**"Without resetting its durability"** over here
0a496f180c/code/modules/mining/boulder_processing/_boulder_processing.dm (L241)
So it ends up rejecting a "0" or worse -1 durability boulder. Now we set
the durability in `remove_boulder()` so regardless of what circumstances
the boulder is ejected it always gets a positive durability
- **Fixes BRM & Refinery from rapidly spitting out boulders in their loc
which causes lag in the long terms**
Fixes#81404. Basically even if there is 1 boulder sitting at a BRM's
loc or an refineries loc. Operations are haulted i.e. the BRM will not
teleport any more boulders & the refinery will keep their already
processed boulders inside till their locs are cleared from boulders.
This prevents large number of boulders from pilling up in long rounds
- **[Priority : High] Fixes refineries incorrectly removing materials
from processed boulders**
Fixes#81109. This bug is quite serious because it can't literarily
affect any random item with custom materials in game. This one line of
code over here can break the entire material economy as we know it
0a496f180c/code/modules/mining/boulder_processing/_boulder_processing.dm (L217)
**"DONT DO THIS"**. The `custom_materials` list is a **"read only"**
list & if you ever want to change it call the `set_custom_materials()`
proc with your new values but do not edit this list manually as it is
done here.
All lists related to materials are cached by the `SSmaterials`
subsystem. List values are cached & shared across multiple objects so
when you edit those values like here, you might end up effecting an
item/multiple items in some random corner of the map that shares this
list.
This also causes boulders with empty list of materials to get spawned at
random so yeah again plzz don't do this
**4. Refactors**
- Repathes `obj/machinery/boulder_processing/brm` -> just
`obj/machinery/brm`.
Even though semantically it looks nice that the brm is a subtype of
`obj/machinery/boulder_processing` from a code & operation perspective
they have 0 similarities.
1) The BRM does not accept boulders feed into it from a conveyer belt
unlike a refinery but instead picks boulders from `SSore` subsystem &
put it on the conveyer belt. This means procs for accepting boulders
such `CanAllowThrough()`, `breakdown_boulder()`, `accept_boulder()` etc
have no use in the BRM. Their just code clutter at this point
2) The BRM overrides `process()` & does not call its parent proc making
that code wasted
3) It has no use for silo materials & mining points making those vars go
to waste
With so much wasted code its better to just let go off all of it & just
make it a basic instance of `obj/machinery` making maintainence easy
- BRM now teleports boulders in a batch (batch size determined by
`boulders_processing_max` max value from upgraded parts is 7) with a
boulder appearing every 1.5 seconds rather than spawning all at once.
After a batch is processed it has a cooldown of 3 seconds before
repeating the process if automatic boulder retrieval is on. This stops
the conveyer belt from getting crowded with boulders and makes the
refining process more efficient.
With this BRM wires are removed because only it had only 1 wire
responsible for toggling boulder retrieval but now since this process is
automatic, we have true control over the timing of boulders spawned &
don't want to leave it in the hands of players
## Changelog
🆑
qol: adds examines & screentips for crowbar, screwdriver acts to BRM &
refinery machines
qol: adds examines about the number of boulders stored & processed to
BRM & refinery machines
qol: BRM now has its lights turn on/off depending on wether automatic
boulder retrieval is on/off for visual clarity along with examines
qol: refinery machines now display ballon alerts & plays sounds more
frequently when processing boulders for better feedback
fix: vents now spawn boulders of all sizes & not just small ones
fix: expanded gulag boulders now have correct materials in them.
fix: manual tapping of vents now has a cooldown applied as intended.
fix: BRM has its light turned off when area power goes off
fix: boulders ejected from refineries by hand no longer teleport all
over the place occasionally.
fix: refineries no longer eject boulders with 0 durability
fix: Boulders & refineries no longer pile up on top of BRM's &
refineries in long rounds. Their locs have to be clear of boulders
before they spit out more boulders to prevent a large pile of boulders
from causing lag
fix: sheets ejected from lathes no longer get rejected when inserted
back which could happen at random, no more boulders with empty materials
code: splits boulder types into its own file along with other items
code: merges & autodocs procs, vars related to boulders
refactor: repaths BRM to a simpler subtype
refactor: BRM now spawns boulders in batches(batch size can be increased
with upgraded parts) with a boulder appearing every second. After a
batch is processed a 3 second cooldown is applied to stop the conveyer
belt from clogging up, With this BRM wires are removed as there is no
need for timers to be attached to wires which intefers without our batch
processing timings.

## 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

because you did not carry a light
or going into the boarded room with no loot or any incentive with
obvious signs that there is the sole enemy on the map in there
the loot is the lore ok thanks
also makes mines detonate if theyre detonated by a non-mob im pretty

## About The Pull Request
I recently played a game where I rotated my skeleton model while
rotating my own character at the same time and it being in sync gave me
the realization on how cool it would be if the Coroner was able to
simply control the skeleton body.
I find skeleton displays very funny and I want to see more funny things
happen with them, so I thought this would be a good place to start, with
the benefits that it also works on mannequins and statues too so they
aren't left out.
Basically, while it is unanchored, if you have a statue/mannequin
grabbed, it will change its direction as you do, and speak the same
words you do. Your own messages can only be heard if the person is
directly next to you, revealing that it was you talking through it all
along.
I was originally gonna add this to the simple rotation component but
moved off when I decided to add talking through it, I left in the code
improvements I made to the component though since it is one of the
oldest components and hasn't been touched in a while.
Video demonstration (before I added the person also talking, just ignore
that missing)

While fixing the Toilet bong's rotation stuff I noticed a lot of it
wasn't up to proper code standards so I went over it and fixed issues I
had with it. It now doesn't give text saying you found something nasty
to species that still likes mice (like flypeople), and fixed its update
appearance to match the codebase standard set by the introduction of
``update_appearance`` many years ago.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's a funny small idea I had and got inspired to add, it's a niche
mechanic that I think fits the aesthetic I am going for with Coroner and
also give a funny interaction with the human-like inanimate objects.

## 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

so that vents should now produce ore.
spellcheck: Boulder processing machines now don't mention things they
don't do.

- All martial arts block checking is now handled by the arts themselves,
meaning you can selectively decide for a martial arts strike to not be
blocked. Maybe good for the future.
- A comprehensive cleanup of all existing martial arts. Improving var
names, code, adding some missing animation calls, etc.

## 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`.

## 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.

## About The Pull Request
I wanted to add the ability to shove people with shields by
right-clicking your target, just like how it works barehanded.
This also required a solid refactor of disarm code, effectively bringing
down the core of it to `mob/living` from `mob/living/carbon` or
`mob/living/carbon/human`. This also means you can shove simple mobs
inside closets, bins and on tables.
Xenos and borgs are pretty much immune to regular disarms, but using a
shield will work (borgs and royal xenos are immune to the knockdown).
The riot shield armor has been balanced. It now tanks melee attacks
pretty well, but will break against bullets in just about 2 to 4 hits
depending on the bullet damage. I've always found the lack of sturdiness
of the riot shields for what they're supposed to be good for a bit
detrimental.
Because I've refactored an item flag into a trait, I've had to add a new
MOD module that grants protection from shove knockdown and staggering;
found pre-installed in the administrative MODsuit, but I've also added
it to the black market to make it cooler.
You can bash people with the strobe shield on combat mode.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Currently, shields are simply items that take a held slot in return of
some block chance without being anything special, save for the strobe
shield's integrated flash I guess, but are also a botherance as most
crumple under the duress of less than half a dozen attacks. Meanwhile
swords and other weapons with blok chance just don't care.
TL;DR, I want them a bit more remarkable, and flexible as a tool.
Of course, this ended up in a larger refactor because the right-click /
disarm code was inconsistent.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Shields (and pillows) can be used to shove people around the same
way barehanded right-clicking does. Xenos and borgs can actually be
moved this way.
add: Added a new MODsuit module, the bulwark module, which prevents
knockdown and staggering from shoving, and getting pushed away by thrown
objects. Inbuilt for the safeguard MODsuit, but one might also it in the
black market.
refactor: Disarming has been refactored. You can now shove simple
critters onto tables and into bins and closets
balance: Shields now take their own armor values and the armor
penetration of the attack they blocked when damaged. This means shields
are a bit sturdier now.
balance: Riot shields can tank a lot more damage against melee weapons,
but less against bullets.
qol: strobe shields can now be used to bash people while combat mode is
on.

## About The Pull Request
Partial Revert of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/80800
Assuming every num passed in the parameters of `add_mood_effect` is a
`timeout_mod` is incorrect, because there can be mood events that take a
numeric arg which is not meant to be multiplied against the timeout.
This leads to the same issue as multiplying it with strings essentially
(in one case, shown below, this results in a negative duration of a
timer).
Plus having a keyword arg that may or may not actually be what the
keyword arg claims to be is really confusing and bad.
Instead here's what I propose: passing in an instantiated mood datum
itself, which has been modified, and copying the timeout from it before
discarding it.
It is not as clean as I'd prefer either, but at least it's logically
sound and the intent is clear, and it's the best I can think of short of
a major refactor of the entire system for this one small thing which is
only being used by food quality.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Clearer, less smelly code.
## Changelog
🆑
code: removed the timeout_mod arg from add_mood_event, which was only
used for one thing and causes more issues than it's worth
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
In a previous PR (https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/79661), I
noted that a lot of moodlets tended to have their timeouts break because
it was passing their names and whatnot as a parameter, that gets fed
into the timeout modifier parameter, causing the timeout multiplier to
break, because BYOND type-agnosticism means that it can multiply a
number (timeout_mod) by text (a name or some other object), resulting in
0 - which makes a moodlet permanent. This is probably not intended.
This fixes that in two ways:
- Adding a `1` to potentially applicable moodlets (searched for with a
regex of `.add_mood_event(.*, .*,)`) just to make sure the timeout
doesn't get multiplied out weirdly.
- Making the add_mood_event thing CRASH() if the timeout_mod is bad.
If someone else wants to come up with a solution better than this,
please do.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Maybe having your arm permanently fall asleep after getting it
reattached sucks, moodlet-wise. (Being stuck with permanent
positive/negative moodlets is probably not intended.)
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Moodlets with parameters/effects e.g. limb reattachment moodlets
should probably disappear more appropriately.

## About The Pull Request
- **Removed attack_slime**. Most of the attack_slime content has been
moved to a proc that signs up for COMSIG_LIVING_UNARMED_ATTACK. Its
ugly, but will make converting slimes to a basic mob easier. They now
use attack_animal for now, which might cause some unexpected
interactions. Hopefully when they are converted to basic mobs, these can
be cleared up properly.
- This caused some issues with cyborgs, who used to get only half damage
dealt to them. As refactoring this would have been too much of a
difficult task without much real gain, after much pondering, I have
decided that since slimes can always flash cyborgs with each of their
strikes, maybe cyborgs should only fear slimes that have electric
charges in them. In addition, slimes electric charges decrease now after
they successfully zap an cyborg, making them more consistent with the
zaps that affect carbons. AIs are still fully immune to slimes.
- The slime.dm and slime.life files were extremely bloated, and
unorganized. I have created two new files, defense.dm and ai.dm. I have
moved the various attack_by/attack_hand/etc procs to defense.dm. Ai.dm
now contains every single proc the slime's "AI" uses; this should help
getting a clearer picture of the current functionality, which should aid
with basic mob conversion and decision tree creation. The remaining
files have been slightly organized, with overrides in front, and new
procs at the back.
- Created a proc for swapping out Adult and Baby states of a slime.
Previously, attack_slime was in many cases ignoring fields like
melee_damage_lower and melee_damage_upper, replacing it with magic
numbers based on the slime's lifestate. Now these values are hard set by
these procs. This has caused slimes to be more consistent, though baby
slimes might do a bit less damage on the low end. I am tempted to turn
these in datums in the future, or as part of this PR.
- Removed baby slime's chance to accidentally attack a window/grille by
bumping into it, they had 0 object damage anyways, unlike adult slimes,
so there was no reason not to early return.
- The proc of `handle_feeding` assumed adjustBruteLoss and adjustToxLoss
return positive values when damage has been done, when in reality, it
returns the total health change along with its direction. This meant
slimes would fell off simple or basic mobs after a single bite. This has
been fixed.
- Also updated the warning before the slime type defines, as they were
out of date.
- I have removed the bespoke spacewalk override for slimes, which should
allow them to drift, should gravity go out.
- The nutrition stats are assigned only once, when the slime grows up,
instead of compared to being an adult every life tick
## Why It's Good For The Game
Less duplicated code.
This refactor should help in the basic mob conversion process.
Cyborgs have an easier time wrangling slimes, who could previously kill
them in three hits, if charged. They are mostly encased in metal, they
should feel fine when not hit with electric attacks.
Lets slimes feast on delicious corgis.

## About The Pull Request
If you disassemble an AI which was in the round from the start it will
produce a Positronic Cube rather than an MMI with the brain of that
player's usual human character in it.
Also I made changes to a couple of feedback balloon alerts which would
always trigger a runtime when constructing or deconstructing an AI, this
was because balloon alerts have a small time delay before executing and
we deleted the AI mob or structure after trying to show a balloon alert
on them, so they'd never appear.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Honestly this is _mostly_ about vibes, it has annoyed me since AI
deconstruction was added that Nanotrasen AIs tend to actually be brains
in jars rather than AIs. Now they're artifical.
It does also mean that you can't deconstruct the AI and then put its
brain into a human body, which is similarly mostly bad because of vibes:
If you sign up as an AI I think you should be an AI or a cyborg even
after deconstruction.
It also universally looks really stupid when you deconstruct an AI and
it says it has the brain of Penelope Dreadful in there, like should I
expect them to start RPing as their normal character instead of the AI
they have been playing all round now?

## About The Pull Request
So after getting feedback on fitness I've decided to make some balance
changes:
- ~~Every level of fitness now increases max hp. At max legendary
fitness, all the hp bonuses combined results in a total of +25 max hp~~
- Fitness now decreases the time it takes to firemany carry by 0.33
seconds per level. (At max fitness, this means a decrease of 2 seconds)
- Exercise status effect triggers the exercise mood event and goes away
when the exercise status effect is gone
- The better your fitness level, the more happiness you gain from the
mood event
- Decreased the fitness timers and effects by half and tweaked a few
other values
- Increased the nutrition cost of working out
- Removed doubles metabolism exercise effect
I'd also like this test merged to see if anymore minor tweaks need to be
made.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fitness effects on gameplay were pretty underwhelming. This was
deliberate since there is a concern about prisoners being able to abuse
it in quite a lot of scenarios. ~~Adding a small boost to max hp is nice
given that the downside is a bigger target.~~
Another problem was that the double metabolism rate resulted in a lot of
the diet effects being metabolised before you could convert them into
exercise gains. So this was removed.
People would also hit their bench max rather quickly and then spend a
long duration sleeping. Ideally I wanted people to spend more time
working out than sleeping, so I halved the duration values so it takes
them longer to achieve maxxing out.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Fitness level decreases the time it takes to firemany carry
someone. Fitness level determines how much of a positive mood the
workout grants. Working out is now more difficult and requires more
nutrition.
balance: Exercise no longer triggers double metabolism.

## About The Pull Request
FOV as it is currently implemented is incompatible* with wallening.
I'm doin wallening, so we gotta redo things here.
The issue is the masking of mobs. Wallening relies on sidemap (layering
based off physical position), which only works on things on the same
plane (because planes are basically sheets we render down onto)
So rather then masking mobs, let's reuse the masking idea from old fov,
and use it to cut out a bit of the game render plane, and
blur/over-saturate the bit that's masked out.
My hope is this makes things visible in light, but not as much in
darkness, alongside making more vivid shit more easily seen (just like
real life)
Here's some videos, what follows after is the commits I care about
(since I had to rip a bunch of planes to nothing, so the files changed
tab might be a bit of a mess)
Oh also I had to remove the darkness pref since the darkness is doing a
lot of the heavy lifting now. I'm sorry.
Edit:
NEW FOV SPRITES! Thanks dongle your aviator glasses will guide us to a
better future.

## Commits I Care About
[Implements something like fov, but without the planes as layers
hell](a604c7b1c8)
Rather then masking out mobs standing behind us, we use a combo color
matrix and blur filter to make the stuff covered by fov harder to see.
We achive this by splitting the game plane into two, masking both by fov
(one normally and one inversely), and then applying effects to one of
the two.

[Removes WALL_PLANE_UPPER by adding a WALL_PLANE overlay to material
walls (init cost comes
here)](2548933739)
@Mothblocks see this. comment in commit explains further but uh, we need
to draw material walls to the light mask plane so things actually can be
seen on them, but we can't do that and also have them be big, so they
get an overlay. Sorry, slight init time bump, about 0.5 seconds. I can
kill it with wallening.

## About The Pull Request
Morgue trays will now appear green if there's a revivable person within
the morgue tray with a key/ghost attached. They will make periodic beeps
every minute, which can be turned off.
Morgue trays and freezers now have an internal gasmix which
automatically cools down to -60 celsius degrees. As a result of this,
organs will not take damage when temperatures are below 0 celsius
degrees.
If an organ is within a carbon, it will take from the carbon's body
temperature instead of the external temperature. This means that if they
are covered in insulating wear, organs can still take damage if in a
freezer or morgue since their body temperature won't decrease
immediately.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Morgue trays are in a somewhat bad place with how they require you to
stay in your body if you are revivable so that they appear green. This
changes that. They're also supposed to preserve organs but they fail at
doing that, so organ preservation has been overhauled completely to be
more interesting.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Organs can now be preserved by putting them in freezing
temperatures.
balance: Morgue trays and freezers will now cool down the contents
placed inside of them.
balance: Morgue trays will now properly display if someone stored within
them is revivable and make periodic beeps every minute.

## 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.

## 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.

refactor: Refactored some methods of items interacting with other
objects or mobs, such as surgery and health analzyers. Report if

## About The Pull Request
Closes#80180
I was trying to merge https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/79659/
downstream and I couldn't figure out why the false wall icons were not
showing up ingame--turns out there was a bug.
The icon files for false walls and the 'fake' (normal wall) version were
just in each others' spots and needed to be swapped.
## Why It's Good For The Game

fix: false walls icons will now display again

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.
## About The Pull Request
God, alright, here we go. See HackMD here:
https://hackmd.io/@Higgin/HJljdBuNp
Alternative proposal to #79849 addressing the big problems with
virology. ~~If you need a HackMD for it, I'll put one together, but I
made a comment on that PR and can make it pretty simple here.~~ its done
1. Makes viruses eventually self-cure as long as you're alive. If you
can keep somebody from dying, they can develop immunity.
2. Makes it so you can sleep comfortably and be well-fed to slow and
even potentially defeat viruses without a cure.
3. Makes it so more dangerous viruses can start self-curing faster. This
means Space Ebola is going to burn itself out quicker if a person stays
alive from the other effects.
4. Makes spaceacillin helpful in naturally curing viruses, period, but
with declining effectiveness over 100 cycles.
5. Makes it so curing a virus naturally without being well-fed or having
rode it out from the peak may allow you to be reinfected/not have
natural immunity.
6. Makes it so being well-fed is a much stronger protection against
random virus spread.
7. Makes it so bypasses_immunity stuff like fungal TB and heart failure
isn't subject to any of this.
8. Makes it so using ~~antibiotics~~ spaceacillin jesus christ or being
malnourished can make you lose your healing viruses too. Pay attention
to what you put in your body.
9. ** Makes it so blood can ~~transmit resistances again, not just
vaccines. It's been a hot minute, but it used to work like this.~~ blood
now can cure a virus if the donor has a resistance, but it doesn't
confer lasting immunity. You need to overcome the virus yourself, carry
a constant supply of pure blood, or get a vaccine to get a lasting fix.
10. ** makes severity a function of disease stats and all active
symptoms - not just the highest severity of the active symptoms.
11. ** makes it so you can nosell symptoms firing with spaceacillin or
resting down to a minimum chance of cure_chance to avoid symptoms each
cycle, declining over time, over 100 cycles for a given disease.
12. ** makes it so wearing protective equipment prevents you from
spreading respiratory-spread diseases normally - not just on the
cough/sneezing symptoms.
13. ** gives MDs virology access standard, paramedics and coroners
virology access on skeleton crew. virologists also get pharmacy access.
14. ** makes bypasses_immunity advanced diseases always override
non-bypasses_immunity advanced diseases and resist being overridden by
other advanced diseases. Sentient Disease now has bypasses_immunity.
Sentient Disease fans rejoice!
15. ** also gives SD a buffer of extra stealth points so it has a bit
longer to build up instead of almost uniformly getting spotted and dying
early.
16. ** viruses now scale their severity as a function of their max
symptoms. There's a lot more room to get viruses of varying duration and
severity by adding fewer symptoms now - so creating a tradeoff between
stats (and good thresholds) and the duration of your virus.
17. ** a whole bunch of defines to control all of this stuff - most
recently added a multiplier for symptom appearance frequency.
MAJOR UPDATES: REBALANCING TOWARDS 50% LETHALITY

After a shitload of testing, makes some of the most reliable,
transmissible killers into less-reliable threats. See the above graphs
and pictures for demonstrations of exactly how this was tested and done.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It sucks to be hard-stuck to needing chemistry and medical to deal with
viruses that somebody can randomly blast out without a care in the
world, then be left to sit around waiting to die or otherwise be unable
to do anything as the max-level symptoms fire off on repeat.
This should put curing and surviving viruses much more back in the hands
of normal crew without always ending up at the chemistry front window,
although that is still the fastest and most reliable way to get better.
This also nerfs healing viruses a bit, or makes them a bit less
fire-and-forget if you fail to attend to your body. There's more I'd
like to do in the future and potentially some of the other classic
viruses that could use bypasses_immunity added, values tweaked, but for
now - this seems like the best way to preserve virology as a level of
depth and complexity in the game in a way that rewards people doing
intuitive things to counterplay it when used harmfully.
This also puts more of the mid-range bad symptoms into a better place
balance-wise because the worst ones pretty much only fire at max stages.
With the way this works out, you bounce back and forth between the max
stage and lower stages before, over time, trending towards a cure.
Symptoms that provide more significant effects at lower stages now have
a place that isn't totally overshadowed by the killdeath stage 5 ARDS +
junk symptoms virus Dr. Ambatu Popov shat out in five minutes (as long
as you survive the initial run-in with it.)
## Changelog
🆑
balance: most diseases can now be slowed, mitigated, and eventually
cured through being well-fed, resting, and using spaceacillin. Curing
diseases through this way will give you immunity if you experience them
at their peak/maximum and aren't starving/malnourished when they cure.
balance: disease symptoms can be forestalled for up to 100 cycles with a
declining chance of avoiding them over time using rest or spaceacillin.
balance: This does not apply to things like fungal TB; it does apply to
healing viruses if you don't take care of yourself by staying fed and
avoiding spaceacillin.
balance: disease can be cured through direct injection or ingestion of
cured blood. However, curing disease in this way does not provide
lasting immunity. You need to naturally beat the virus or get a vaccine
for that.
balance: Wearing internals or using protective equipment while infected
can limit the spread of respiratory illnesses from yourself to others.
Contact transmission is still possible however.
balance: Medical Doctors now have roundstart virology access. Paramedics
and coroners now get virology access on skeleton shift access.
Virologists now have roundstart pharmacy access.
balance: Sentient Diseases now resist being overridden by other advanced
diseases and can always override other advanced diseases; they also have
an extra bonus on their stealth stat to help make up for early outing
without a bit more testing.
balance: biohazard lockers now also contain a syringe of spaceacillin
(in line with the orderable kit from cargo.)
balance: Virus severity is now also a function of the number of symptoms
out of max your virus has. Experiment with different combinations using
less than six symptoms to make viruses that are deceptively less-obvious
and less quick to self-cure at the tradeoff of stats.

## About The Pull Request
Ok so you know all the dmis we have that are made to work with the
smoothing system? carpets, walls, etc.
The proper way to edit those is to convert them into a png with 5
"states' it in (one for 0 connections, one for horizontal, one for
vertical, one for all cardinals and one for all directions) and then
modify THAT, then run it through [the cutter
tool.](https://github.com/tgstation/icon-cutter)
But none ever does that, because we explain it fucking nowhere. So
instead, let's keep all those "base" files in the repo, alongside the
configs they work with, and "cut" the pngs into dmis as a part of the
build process.
I wrote a guide for how to interact with this system as a spriter, you
can find it
[HERE](https://github.com/LemonInTheDark/tgstation/blob/slice-the-sky/icons/Cutter.md).
[Adds a icon cutter build
task](52143d2e96)
This relies on action ninja's hypnagogic (find more
[here](https://github.com/actioninja/hypnagogic)), a rust based icon
cutter.
It operates inline with the file structure, searching the codebase for
templates and resource files and compiling them down to dmis.
It can do way more then just bitmask stuff, but that is what we are
using it for rn.
Hope is to prevent for eternity the "I'm just gonna edit each of these
255 icon states that's how this carpet was made right?" meme, and allow
more expansive use of smoothing in future
[Adds a lint that ensures config files work
right](21eeab9cf8)
Checks to ensure they have a paired png and dmi, and also avoids issues
with uncompiled changes by double checking that nothing happens
before/after a cutter run
[Pulls all non smoothed states out of structures into bespoke
dmis](a730e0cb47)
This is required because the cutter cannot output named icon states,
only the actual cut icon
[Does something similar to
walls](40780e9481)
Moves reinforced walls decon stuff from their icon to a var on the type
and a set of states in the reinforced_states dmi
Moves falsewalls into their own dmi, this involved some changes to
gamecode to ensure falsewalls knew which dmi to use and what key.
Makes falsewalls display as such in editor rather then just walls
Moves smoothrock's gibonite overlays into their own file for similar
reasons
[Same thing different day
(Floors)](9a3da3b697)
Pulls bespoke floor icon states into their own file, splits up neon
carpets into multiple files to make cutting possible
[Actually adds the cut templates and their matching png
files](1bd8920dc9)
Not much to report here, outside of I changed the prefix for bamboo
walls to bamboo_wall so it works with false_walls
## Why It's Good For The Game
None should have to manually edit cut dmis. Ever.
Also this makes adding a new smoothed thing trivial, don't even need to
know what tool you're using to do it. V good v good.
Sets us up nicely for wallening's well, wall of sprites.
Some structural decisions, we are essentially committing build artifacts
here. That's the best way of handling it because otherwise mappers could
need to run build.bat before opening a map, and that is stupid!

refactor: (Almost) all smoothed icons can now be edited in their pre cut
forms

## About The Pull Request
`/obj/structure/closet/crate/maint` was a type of crate that spawned a
completely different crate, and then deleted itself. I have decided to
swap this out for an actual spawning effect.
I have also did some subtypery to remove some duplicate code that
handled randomly opening the spawned closet/crate (through I am not that
satisfied with
`/obj/effect/spawner/random/structure/closet_empty/crate/with_loot` as a
sensible typepath name, I would like to ask for suggestions). I also
removed a loot define, because it was no longer needed as its contents
were used on a single page.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Things that act like spawners should be spawners.
Maybe this fixes the CI issue on northstar where a mousetrap box gets
deleted before it initializes during create and destroy? It was placed
above a spawner that spawned one of these self deleting crates. I am
unsure, I could not replicate this issue during testing.

## About The Pull Request
I've stumbled across this enough to finally go through the entire

history logs is bad.

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
refactors bots into basic bots. i decided to do medibots first because
they were the most complex bots and wanted to get them out of the way
first. if this pr gets merged then i will be rolling out the rest of the
bot refactors over the next months
medibots can now wear any type of hats! some of these hats can trigger
unique new recorded voicelines and interactions!
## Why It's Good For The Game
converts medbots into basic medbots. they are now a bit more responsive
than before but overall they should act similarly to how they did. also
adds the basic bot ai framework which has all the generic bot behaviors
that the next bots may or may not need to have in their ai. i tried my
best to improve their code and turned some of their bitflags into define
bitfields. this pr may need a careful review because i did it from
scratch as the old bot project branch was too outdated for me to use
