* Dominate & Lazarus Inject basic mobs. Lazarus Injected mobs don't fight each other. (#72440)
Fixes#72404
The Lazarus Injector doesn't currently work on basic mobs, but should.
Problem:
The EMPed state of the Lazarus Injector is intended to make a revived
mob hostile to everyone except you, including other mobs you have
revived wtih an EMPed Lazarus Injector.
This is trivial to achieve for Simple Mobs which essentially all share
the same AI, but I could not think of a single workable solution for
Basic Mobs which don't, or at least any which didn't come with a tedious
requirement to closely consider this niche item when programming any
additional AI.
Solution:
Change the default behaviour of the Lazarus Injector so this is not a
problem.
If all it does it make the mob loyal to you _and_ friendly to other mobs
which are loyal to you, then it's pretty easy because we can just use
the existing faction flags.
This is unambiguously a buff to using the item for nefarious purposes as
now if you revive four ice drakes and fulton them onto the station they
won't kill each other until only one is left, but is the only workable
solution I could really think of.
A lot of the very dangerous mining fauna can't be dragged so
transporting your army to the station still poses a question.
The alternate solution was just to replace the AI controller of any
emp-revived basic mob with a "zombie" AI controller, but this has the
problem that
A- It would now make things like cows and dogs into hostile creatures
when they previously weren't.
B- It loses any interesting behaviour the mob previously had and for
cases like Bileworms doesn't even make any sense (they'd try to walk and
just get stuck in place).
This ultimately leads to needing to make bespoke versions for various
mobs, which doesn't seem desirable from a maintainability standpoint.
As a side note it's still not a great idea to revive Bileworms _anyway_
as, their ability to move is tied to their ability to attack so once
they don't have a target they will just kind of sit there and if they
_do_ get a target their attempts to help you fight are difficult to
distinguish from attempts to kill you... but at least being able to
revive them makes it easier to make one sapient if you really want to
trap a player's mind inside a body which is incapable of leaving
lavaland.
Additional edit:
At Fikou's suggestion I've also added a sentience comparison proc to
`mob/living` and removed some code duplication which dealt with this
problem in the sentience/mind transfer potions, as well as added it to
the Dominate spell.
This device is meant to revive mobs and it shouldn't be required for
players to memorise an arbitrary list of which mobs it does and doesn't
work on.
Especially as the goal is eventually that all simple mobs should be
basic mobs.
This way of working is more intuitive, even if it is also stronger. I
was surprised when I used EMPed injectors and my "new minions" just
killed each other.
🆑
fix: You can now revive 'basic mobs' with a Lazarus Injector, such as
dogs, cows, axolotls, or carp.
fix: The same category of mobs can also now be effected by the Runic
Golem Dominate spell.
fix: Basic Mobs will switch target if they can no longer attack their
current target; meaning that if you become a Bileworm's friend it will
stop attacking you.
balance: Mobs injected with the Lazarus Injector while it is EMPed will
no longer attack other mobs revived by EMPed Lazarus Injectors.

* New Mob [Garden Gnomes] (#72672)
## About The Pull Request
Garden gnomes can go into the ground when they stand still for a while.
If they are damaged and underground they will heal. If they are
underground they will also gain damage resistance. They can make people
trip when underground and deal some damage. They are available through
golden slime cores or you can collect them from cargo with an emag. If
one of them gets damaged they will all retaliate against the attacker.
They have a very realistic colour pallet based on online gathered data.
Depending on their colour pallets some of them have a very low chance of
spawning.
## Why It's Good For The Game
These new garden gnomes come with expanding the world building of space
station 13. These gnomes will add more variety to the game play and use
an interesting AI and behavior that interacts with the player.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Adds garden gnomes.

* Some tweaks to mobs running away (#72529)
## About The Pull Request
Mice running away behaviour wasn't working quite how it was supposed to
due to a couple of bugs.
First of all, the action was written as if it would `perform` every
tick, which it doesn't. This means that the code checking if you had
left line of sight didn't function, meaning mobs would continue fleeing
you even when they couldn't see you any more.
Secondly, mobs spent an awful lot of time pathing into walls which was
especially noticeable on mice who just would _not_ stop repeatedly
squeaking in a way that is kind of funny but gets old when you keep
hearing it. Now the pathing stops if it hits a barrier.
I'm not... totally fond of this solution because it has a few
assumptions baked in (that we want to try and path through doors even if
they're dense for one) but I can't for the moment think of a better
"path away from" implementation that isn't way more complicated, and
this doesn't really need to be complicated.
For good measure I noticed a couple of other actions weren't passing a
`source_atom` into `is_blocked_turf` so rats were potentially attacking
"obstacles" they could simply walk over.
Additionally a couple of places were setting
`controller.movement_target` directly instead of using the helper method
which has a minor risk of runtiming under certain conditions.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mice will stop constantly screaming if they can see someone, and should
repath once they have a different escape route more quickly rather than
dedicating themselves to trying to burrow through an iron wall.
Rats won't bite at tables and racks they can just climb over.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Mice won't try to path through walls to escape from sight and
constantly squeak.
fix: Mice will stop running away from you if they can't see you any
more.
fix: Rats won't bite racks and tables while passing over them.

* Basic Mobs can run away (#71963)
## About The Pull Request
That's right I'm still atomising #71421, some day I might even post
something related to carp.
This PR adds various behaviours to basic mobs allowing them to run away,
in a couple of variations.
Mice will flee from anyone who doesn't share their factions, at all
times (so they will scatter from most humans, but not regal rats).
Rabbits and Sheep will flee from anyone who has attacked them.
Pigs will run away from people who have attacked them, but only if
they're below half health.
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7483112/207127135-d1737f91-d3f7-468a-ac60-7c7ae5d6623d.mp4
Mice are still plenty catchable because they don't run _very far_ (or
very fast) but I think the chase will be good enrichment.
To achieve this I had to change the signal COMSIG_CARBON_HEALTH_UPDATE
into COMSIG_LIVING_HEALTH_UPDATE but frankly the latter seems more
sensible anyway.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More behaviours to use later when designing mobs, gradually gives mobs
more things to do rather than just sort of moving aimlessly around the
area you left them in.
It'll give people hunting rats in maintenance some exercise.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Mice will now run away from you, you have to catch them if you want
to eat them. Use those traps!
add: Rabbits, Sheep, and Pigs likewise won't just sit there and let you
pulverise them if they can see an escape route.

* Rats can attack obstacles between them and their target (#71741)
## About The Pull Request
Fixes#71568
I wrote this for basic mob carp but it will be needed in a lot of
places.
Rats used to be able to attack windows or dense objects between them and
their target, but basic mobs didn't have this capability.
Now they do.
Behind the scenes, an important change is that this adds
`AI_BEHAVIOR_CAN_PLAN_DURING_EXECUTION` to
`/datum/ai_behavior/basic_melee_attack`.
This is because `basic_melee_attack` essentially enters a loop which
won't end until the target is dead or lost, but there are plenty of
circumstances where we'll actually want to interrupt this to do
something else. Such as attack windows.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Restores accidentally removed behaviour.
Will likely be required for future basic mob development.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Rats will once again attempt to attack windows or other dense
objects separating them from their targets.

* Basic Mob Carp: Retaliate Element (#71593)
## About The Pull Request
Adds an Element and AI behaviour intended to replicate the "retaliate"
behaviour which made up an entire widely-populated subtype of simple
mobs.
The behaviour is pretty simply "If you fuck with me I fuck with you".
Mobs with the component will "remember" being attacked and will try to
attack people who attacked them, until they lose sight of those people.
They don't have very long memories so breaking line of sight is enough
to remove you from their grudge list.
The implementation unfortunately requires registering to 600 different
"I have been attacked by X" signals but c'est la vie.
It will still be cleaner than
`/mob/living/simple_animal/hostile/retaliate/clown/clownhulk/honcmunculus`
and `mob/living/simple_animal/hostile/retaliate/bat/sgt_araneus`.
I attached it to the pig for testing and left it there because out of
all the farm animals we have right now, a pig would probably get pissed
off if you tried to kill it. Unfortunately it's got a sausage's chance
in hell of ever killing anyone.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It doesn't have much purpose yet but as we make more basic mobs this is
going to see a **lot** of use.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Basic mobs have the capability of being upset that you kicked and
punched them.
add: Pigs destined for slaughter will now ineffectually attempt to
resist their fate, at least until they lose sight of you.

them.

* Refactors Rabbits to be a Basic Mob (#71205)
## About The Pull Request
Back in #64175, I reworked rabbits such that their base behavior was
just a cute fluffy snuggle monster, and not have the "easter" variant be
the default. Now that we're transitioning everything from simple_animal
to basic, I figured now was the time to shift that over too.
Pretty much everything should be the same as it was before, I even took
some time to add behavior to some elements to allow it to work (let me
know if I should handle it a different way) but rabbits as a
simple_animal and rabbits as a basic mob should now not be very
distinguishable (beyond the fact that they only speak via subtrees).
I also got rid of the single-letter icon_states in the DMI and
accomodated the code to fix because I finally got irritated enough to do
something about that.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Although I didn't really have any pressing urge to add more complex AI
behavior to rabbits than just pretty much re-implementing what they had
as a simple_animal, this is an excellent first-step to allowing much
more extensible behaviors to these fuzzy creatures.
Also, it takes three more mobs off "the frozen list". Whoopie!

* Cows can eat wheat off the ground. If cows see wheat on the ground, they'll try to go eat it (+ moonicorns with galaxy thistle) (#69253)
About The Pull Request
Cows are now grazers, they love eatin' wheat and it even heals them if hurt. If they see it just on the ground, they might eat it all! Careful, botanists! While tamed, cows won't eat off the ground if they're busy ferrying you around.
FYI: this is going to conflict with #69247 and so thiss should not be merged until that is
Why It's Good For The Game
Wanted to add this with the original port of cows to basic mobs, didn't have the TECH to do so. Now I do, now it's done. I also wanted it ready for the future where mice and rats are ported, so they'd seek out cheese to eat. I also also think it's a neat way for a cow to heal.

* Adds the Mothroach (#68763)
About The Pull Request
Yup. That's pretty much it. This PR adds the Mothroach to the game, described as "An ancient ancestor of the moth that surprisingly looks like the crossbreed of a moth and a cockroach."
Do you love the Mothroach? Then you can cuddle with it and pat it, as well as place it on your head for extra cuteness.
What if you hate it, though? You can always kill and butcher Mothroaches in order to mass produce moth plushes for your own profit... How fun!
Either way, you win!
The Mothroach can be picked up and has a special on-head sprite (which looks really cute). It is able to vent-crawl and you may get one by randomly summoning a friendly mob through the gold slime extracts, or by ordering one through the Cargo Requests. After butchered, you may use its hide, a heart, and some cloth to craft a moth plushie, the most devilish of Devil's designs.

In-hand, on-head, and grounded Mothroach sprite credits go to ValuedEmployee.
I did the Mothroach hide sprite though!
Why It's Good For The Game
The Mothroach is incredibly cute and a neat, fresh, new piece of content. Although it could use some future repurposing, right now it's simply a cute exotic pet with a few interactions.
These cute sprites are just too good to go to waste...
I keep seeing people complain about the lack of new content. Well, here's something niche that won't break the whole balance of the game and that will be cute. I seriously cannot see a motive not to add this to the game. Just because it isn't a powergaming tool or something that is seen every shift, that doesn't mean that it won't have a positive influence on the game. As I have stated, right now the Mothroaches are underperforming in terms of interactions and ways of getting them, but adding them is the first step to later improve them.
