Discount experiments have been decreasing required points for nodes indefinitely, resulting in research costs being like Industrial Engineering here:
Curiously, this didn't mean free research points for reasons unknown to me.
I believe this has been going on for the entire lifespan of Experisci and nobody reported it. Yet here I am, an RnD main fixing something that's my lifeblood.
Discounts aren't supposed to grow into 1450%+ discounts over time.
RnD discount experiments now reduce the proper amount of points needed instead of gradually growing into a 100% free tech node.

Adds new equipment for mechas: the Exosuit Proto-kinetic Accelerator, unlocked with the mining tech research. Compared to the standard one, it is able to hit 5 tiles away with a low cooldown.
However, unlike the handheld version, it draws a considerable amount of power from the battery, pretty much requiring you to bring generator equipment or upgraded parts.
The projectile is identical to the standard handheld version otherwise and will do little damage in pressurized environments.
BCIs are a new shell that can be implanted in your brain through surgery or through a BCI Manipulation Chamber, which provide the ability to easily implant and remove BCIs. They are the same size as compact remotes and generally share the same limitations.
Also adds CIRCUIT_FLAG_HIDDEN, to hide components from the UI. I didn't end up needing this, but Watermelon said he had ideas for it, so eh.
Why It's Good For The Game
BCIs provide an interesting, stealthy input method for circuits. They are seen as a healthier alternative to nanites, and improve on them in several ways:
Circuits have limited manipulation of the world, and intentionally do not perform the ability to provide passive healing, revives, etc.
Circuits have a significantly better UI and UX than nanites.
Circuits regularly get content expansions, which means that as a side-effect, there'll often be new things to play with for BCIs.
Other point to make:
BCI implanters have no cloud, and instead require the BCI to be put inside the machine. This means it requires the attention of the scientist (or even just a box with them inside). With
Adds the ability to save/load circuits for admins. Adds the ability to duplicate modules in a round. #60222, which lets you reprint a circuit you made that round, this means you can print out lots of BCIs, rather than going through the tedium of constantly remaking it.
BCI implanters are not roundstart, but rather in the advanced shells node. This is essentially the same as nanites, except for the difference of nanites starting with all the machinery, but none of the powers.
Changelog
cl
add: Added brain-computer interface circuit shells.
/cl
This PR allows gas masks to properly filter toxic gases by using one-time-use filters that can be made in any lathe from roundstart. All gas masks start with filters in at roundstart.
These filters will have different filtering abilities that differenciate what gas they'll be able to filter the most. The highest ones will be plasma gas, co2 and n2o.
Currently there is only one filter available, it will filter plasma, co2 and n2o at higher amount, while nitryl, stimulum, freon, hypernob and bz will be at a mid range and the more complex/dangerous gases healium, zauker, proto nitrate, tritium, halon will have easier time passing even at trace amounts
More filters with different filtering levels soon(tm)
Warning, the masks will filter traces amount of gases, but will also help slowdown the damage you'll get by breathing the gas by reducing the amounts of moles taken (example plasma intoxication will be slower)
Gas masks now properly filter gases when a filter is used (they will work normally otherwise)

Adds the airlock shell. The circuit has full control over the airlock.
Refactors USB code to be easier to use for less experienced coders.
Implements USB cables for the binary valve to be able to open/close the valve.
Adds a private channel for radios that only lets circuits with the same owner's ID to interact with it.
Adds the MMI component which outputs signals whenever they click somewhere/try to move.
Allows inputting signals into ports, making it easier to debug integrated components.
Adds the multiplexer circuit component - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplexer
Circuit components can now be directly inserted into shells rather than having to take the integrated circuit out.
Special information can be accessed from components now through the "Info" button besides the eject button on a component.

Splits node design IDs into multiple lines in alphabetical order with trailing commas.
This helps to prevent merge conflicts, as well as it making it easier to read. This has proven to be important with circuits, where multiple people want to add new components, but will end up inevitably conflicting on each other.
Also, aligns with the contribution guideline to not use tab alignment.
It's the second try! (First: #48456)
Drones are little robots inspired by Keepers from the Mass Effect games. With laws to maintain both the station, and their distance from the matters of others, they were a great ghost role that let you fix up the station when you were otherwise out of the round. They were in the game for quite a while, but were abused. The abusive players completely ignored the laws and did whatever they wanted. Being tiny ventcrawlers, this became a huge issue for admins.
I attempted to bring them back, this time with some gameplay restrictions to enforce their laws a bit better. It seemed to go well, but I required headmin approval, and this all happened near a headmin election, so the project died.
Recently, some people have wanted to bring drones back. So, they gave me a ring, and I started a discussion with the admin team to see what other changes they would want in addition to the previous ones.
Here are those changes:
They can't interact at all when close to another being, living or dead
Their binary chat has been removed to separate them from AI and borgs
They can only hold a whitelist of items necessary to do their job
They can only interact with machines necessary to do their job
The drone satchel is gone, and drones now have built in basic tools
They also can't interact in some blacklisted high risk areas
Finally, you must play 40 hours total as a Silicon role in order to play as a drone
Additionally, the drone dispenser is not mapped, and the drones must be researched to be constructed.
Why It's Good For The Game
Drones are a fun way to pass the time, and this time they have a lot less freedom. You can still perform the basic function of maintaining the station, but not without difficulty and tedium. This will allow other station roles to perform much better than the drones, while still letting them chug along at their slower pace.
Refactors the limbgrower to modernize the code. Now, the limbgrower can accept any type of reagent in limbgrower designs.
Adds simple plumbing demand to the limbgrower, so you can pipe synthflesh into it.
Adds monkey tails, felinid ears and tails, lizard digitigrade legs, lizard tongues, fake lizard tails (unusable in lizard-wine and similar recipes), plasmaman organs, and ethereal organs (minus the heart) to the limbgrower via limbgrower design disks. These disks can be printed from the medical lathe once the required technology has been researched.
Adds a technology node to unlock the limbgrower design disks after advanced biotech, xenoorgan biology. In the future, this could have an experiment requirement - maybe to scan multiple types of species.

A new side-job for cargo. Prepare and launch exploration drones at distant sites to encounter weird adventures, collect loot and expand the station cargo network. Adventures - the main content type here, can be written by anyone without any knowledge of programming. The purpose here is creating an way of interesting way of delivering lore (and adding some new job content/cargo expansion method).
