## About The Pull Request
Adds interaction between immovable rod and the tram for the rare
occasions the rod hits it at the front or back while flying at a
parallel angle.
The rod will push/pull the tram in the direction it's flying until a
short distance past the tram's usual landmark, eventually winning and
carrying on.
- Only applies to random rods, if the rod has a target it will ignore
the tram as usual.
- Looping rod only pushes the tram once.
- As long as the tram has power, can be returned to the rails as usual
by calling it.

## About The Pull Request
Replaces the Traitor's Camera Bug item with an application that allows
you to view camera apps.
The difference between this app and the Security one is that it does not
have an access requirement, does not make noise (it didn't previously
due to a bug, fixed in this PR), and can be installed on PDAs.
This can also be installed from syndienet, which means nukies now have a
way to see the station cameras while off the ship.
Adds Syndicate app disks, which are made of Gold. This is only used by
the Camera app as of right now.
I also fixed some issues along the way;
- Camera tablet app now properly shows cameras
- It now properly makes the noises it is supposed to
- It clears the viewers properly on the ui being closed or the app being
exited.
Syndicate app disks ddelete their apps upon being transferred over (like
maintenance disks), trying to remain consistent with previous behavior.
I also made this for a [personal project I am currently working
on](https://hackmd.io/XLt5MoRvRxuhFbwtk4VAUA). I could just make this UI
be TGUI, but I thought it could be worth trying to turn it into a better
item first.
Tracking people is much simpler now- You choose anyone from a list of
people found on cameras, and it will try to find a camera that sees
them. It follows them until you close the app or switch camera.

## Why It's Good For The Game
The Camera Bug is one of the worst traitor items as of current. You can
remotely shut off a single camera, something that can be done with basic
tools you are likely carrying around anyways, and uses an HTML clunky UI
to flip through cameras.
This new Traitor item makes it much easier to use, since the camera
consoles are something you are likely already used to.
It also means emagging a tablet is slightly more useful, and golden data
disks are pretty cool.
Unfortunately this means that they no longer grant illegal tech, because
otherwise you can simply clone the app infinitely for personal use, and
deconstruct the disk itself for tech. This can be grinded into gold, but
I think if we want an illegal tech item, it'll have to find a new host.

## About The Pull Request
This one is a double feature because Watchers and Basilisks share the
same typepath. You might see a couple more of those.
As is tradition I decided to fuck with them rather than just port them.
Here's what's up.
**Basilisks**
- Have a new soulless sprite which looks less like a living blue hedge.
- Walk at you and shoot you while you are not in range (just like
before).
- Become supercharged if they become "heated" by lava, lasers, or
temperature weapons. This was a feature they also previously had but
they would never encounter lava, so now it also works if you use the
wrong gun on them.
- Lose their supercharge if you cool them down.
- Otherwise pretty normal mobs.
**Watchers**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOq_Bf78k5A
Here's a traditional video of me intentionally getting hit by mechanics
(trust me its definitely on purpose)
- They glow emmissively a little bit so you can see them from further
away.
- Their eyes light up about 0.5 seconds before they are able to shoot at
you.
- No longer melee attack, instead try to stay out of melee.
- Will occasionally put you into "Overwatch", meaning they will shoot
you rapidly if you move or act while they're staring at you for a brief
time period (after which you become immune for 12 seconds, and during
which other watchers will play fair and stop shooting at you).
- If they start taking damage they will also start using their "Gaze"
attack, look away or suffer some kind of negative effect!
- - Normal watcher gaze flashes and confuses you.
- - Magmawing watcher gaze obviously burns (and briefly stuns) you.
- - Icewing watcher gaze freezes you and throws you backwards.
- Magnetically attract and eat diamonds. They also used to do this, but
just if they happened to coincidentally walk past some.
**Other accompanying changes**
All basic mobs will now adopt the "stop gliding" trait if they get
slowed down too much.
I moved behaviour for "fire a projectile from this atom" into a helper
proc because I was using it in three places and I will probably use it
in more places. There are probably other places in the existing code
which could be using this.
I think I made the basic mob melee attack forecast default a little more
forgiving, they were fucking me up too much and I am the playtester.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Another one off the list.
New tricks for old dogs.
Framework for making mobs with ranged attacks "fairer" (you can see when
they are ready to shoot you).
More (hopefully) versatile AI behaviours which we will reuse later (I
hope I'm not duplicating one someone already made).
If our players "enjoy" them enough we can give more mobs "don't look at
me" mechanics.
Removes some soul sprites.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Basilisks and Watchers now use the basic mob framework. Please
bug report any unusual behaviour.
sprite: Basilisks have new sprites.
add: Basilisks will go into a frenzy if heated by energy weapons or
temperature beams as well as by lava.
add: Watcher eyes will be illuminated briefly when they are ready to
fire at you.
add: Watchers can now briefly put you into "Overwatch" and penalise you
for moving while they can see you.
add: Wounded watchers will occasionally punish players who look at them.

## About The Pull Request
This fixes all failing instances of
`/datum/unit_test/mapload_space_verification` on local machines.
These never popped up on Github CI actions because the space budget is
set to 0, but running unit tests on local machine will cause some ruins
maps to fail the test on other z levels. This fixes all instances of the
failed test and also adjusts the space ruin space tile placement to be
more consistent across all maps.
Space tiles should be placed whenever necessary for a map, otherwise
usage of template_noop is more appropriate. This consistency is improved
by removing surrounding space tiles and replacing them with
template_noop on several maps.
Also fixes a loose space turf inside one of the shuttles.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Consistency is key also failing tests bad. Only integral changes are the
5 space tiles on one of the ruins and the singular space tile inside
another, the mass space replacements with template_noop can be argued,
however it mostly seems to be because of how long those templates have
existed that they have the surrounding space tiles in the first place.

## About The Pull Request
Hello friends, I've been on a bit of a lighting kick recently, and I
decided I clearly do not have enough things to work on as it is.
This pr adds angle support to static lights, and a concepting/debug tool
for playing with lights on a map.
Let's start from first principles yeah?
### Why Angled Lights?
Mappers, since they can't actually see a light's effect in editor, tend
to go off gut.
That gut is based more off what "makes sense" then how things actually
work
This means they'll overplace light sources, and also they tend to treat
lights, particularly light "bars" (the bigger ones) as directional.
So you'll have two lights on either sides of a pillar, lights inside a
room with lights outside pointing out, etc.
This has annoying side effects. A lot of our map is overlit, to the
point that knocking out a light does.... pretty much nothing.
I find this sad, and would like to work to prevent it. I think dark and
dim, while it does not suit the normal game, is amazing for vibes, and I
want it to be easier to see that.
Angled lights bring how lights work more in line with how mappers expect
lights work, and avoids bleedover into rooms that shouldn't be bled
into, working towards that goal of mine.
### How Angled Lights?
This is more complex then you'd first think so we'll go step by step
Oh before we start, some catchup from the last time I touched lighting
code.
Instead of doing a lighting falloff calculation for each lighting corner
(a block that represents the resolution of our lights) in view we
instead generate cached lightsheets. These precalculate and store all
possible falloffs for x and y distances from a source.
This is very useful for angle work, since it makes it almost totally
free.
Atoms get 2 new values. light_angle and light_dir
Light angle is the angle the light uses, and light_dir is a cardinal
direction it displays in
We take these values, and inside sheetbuilding do some optional angle
work. getting the center angle, the angle of a pair of coords, and then
the delta between them.
This is then multiplied against the standard falloff formula, and job
done.
We do need some extra fenangling to make this all work nicely tho.
We currently use a pixel turf var stored on the light source to do
distance calculations.
This is the turf we pretend the light source is on for visuals, most
often used to make wall lights work nice.
The trouble is it's not very granular, and doesn't always have the
effect you might want.
So, instead of generating and storing a pixel turf to do our distance
calculations against, we store x and y offset variables.
We use them to expand our working range and sheet size to ensure things
visually make sense, and then offset any positions by them.
I've added a way for sources to have opinions on their offsets too, and
am using them for wall lights.
This ensures the angle calculations don't make the wall behind a light
fulldark, which would be silly.
### Debug Tool?
In the interest of helping with that core problem, lights being complex
to display, I've added a prototyping tool to the game.
It's locked behind mapping verbs, and works about like this.
Once the verb is activated, it iterates over all the sources in the
world (except turfs because those are kinda silly), outlining and
"freezing" them, preventing any future changes.
Then, it adds 3 buttons to the owners of a light source.
The first button toggles the light on and off, as desired.
The third allows you to move the source around, with a little targeting
icon replacing your mouse
The second tho, that's more interesting.
The second button opens a debug menu for that light
There's a lot here, let's go through it.
Bit on the left is a list of templates, which allow you to sample
existing light types (No I have no idea why the background is fullwhite,
need to work on that pre merge)
You can choose one by clicking it, and hitting the upload button.
This replaces your existing lighting values with the template's,
alongside replacing its icon and icon state so it looks right.
There are three types as of now, mostly for categorization. Bar, which
are the larger typically stronger lights, Bulb, which are well, bulbs,
and Misc which could be expanded, but currently just contains floor
lights.
Alongside that you can manually edit the power, range, color and angle
of the focused light.
I also have support for changing the direction of the light source,
since anything that uses directional lighting would also tie light dir
to it.
This isn't *always* done tho, so I should maybe find a way to edit light
dir too.
My hope is this tool will allow for better concepting of a room's
lights, and easier changing of individual object's light values to suit
the right visuals.
### Lemon No Why What
Ok so I applied angle lights to bars and bulbs, which means I am
changing the lighting of pretty much every map in the codebase.
I'm gonna uh, go check my work.
Alongside this I intend to give lighting some depth. So if there's room
to make a space warmer, or highlight light colors from other sources, I
will do that.
(Images as examples)
I also want to work on that other goal of mine, making breaking lights
matter. So I'll be doing what I can to ensure you only need to break one
light to make a meaningful change in the scene.
This is semi complicated by one light source not ever actually reaching
fullbright on its own, but we do what we must because we can.
I'm as I hope you know biased towards darker spaces, I think contrast
has vibes.
In particular I do not think strong lights really suit maintenance.
Most of what is used there are bulbs, so I'm planning on replacing most
uses with low power bulbs, to keep light impacts to rooms, alongside
reducing the amount of lights placed in the main tunnels
**If you take issue with this methodology please do so NOW**, I don't
want to have to do another pass over things.
Oh also I'm saving station maps for last since ruins are less likely to
get touched in mapping march and all.
### Misc + Finishing Thoughts
Light templates support mirroring vars off typepaths using a subtype,
which means all the templates added here do not require updating if the
source type changes somehow. I'd like to expand the template list at
some point, perhaps in future.
I've opened this as a draft to make my intentions to make my changes to
lights known, and to serve as motivation for all the map changes I need
to do.
### Farish Future
I'm unhappy with how we currently configure lights. I would like a
system that more directly matches the idea of drawing falloff curves,
along with allowing for different falloffs for different colors,
alongside extending the idea to angle falloff.
This would make out of engine lighting easier, allow for nicer looking
lights (red to pink, blue to purple, etc), and improve accessibility by
artists.
This is slightly far off, because I have other obligations and it's
kinda complicated, but I'd like to mention it cause it's one of my many
pipedreams.
## Changelog

add: Added angle lighting, applies it to most wall lights!
add: Adds a lighting prototyping tool, mappers go try it out (it's
locked behind the mapping verb)

## About The Pull Request
Converts Goliaths to the basic mob framework and gives them some new
moves because I can't leave things well enough alone.
I am planning on touching all the lavaland fauna and then maybe even the
icebox ones if I haven't got bored. The Golaith is the first because it
is iconic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNcKvMwT4-Q
Here's me getting killed by one as a demonstration. Despite my poor
performance I would contend that they aren't a _lot_ more dangerous, but
they are a little more dangerous.
The chief difference here is that they have two new attacks which they
will only use in response to being attacked.
If fired at from range, they will target the attacker with a line of
tentacles (it doesn't track you, so is easily sidestepped).
If attacked in melee, they will surround _themselves_ with tentacles, on
a longer cooldown.
Something else you may notice in this video: I discovered that basic
mobs are actually _too smart_ to be Lavaland fauna.
Typically (unlike their old form) a mob on our new AI system is smart
enough to attack someone _the moment they come into range_ rather than
only checking on predictable ticks, which would make using the Crusher
an essentially unviable prospect.
To counteract this, Goliaths now have a delayed attack component which
gives you a visual warning and short duration to get out of range before
they swing at you. I will probably put this on all mining fauna that get
reworked, it wouldn't be a terrible thing to put on other mobs to be
honest.
Other changes: The goliath stun is now a status effect with _buckles_
you to the tentacle as if grabbed, as well as its previous effects.
While this seems purely worse, any nearby helpers can now help-click on
you to instantly remove the debuff.
Experiencing the effect of a Lobstrosity Rush Gland makes you immune to
being grabbed by tentacles and an implanted one will automatically
trigger and free you if you are hit, and the explosive effect of
Brimdust also causes the tentacle to retract (although you'd need to
take damage for this to happen). Using the tools of the land, you can
make these creatures less threatening.
The ability for a Goliath to chain-apply the ability has now also been
reduced, it won't refresh its duration if you are hit when already
buckled.
When not occupied hounding miners, Goliaths will intermittently dig up
the asteroid sand and eat any worms that this produces.
I also made some new sprites for riding a Goliath because they've been
broken since the Lavaland mob update and also kind of were ugly before
then anyway:
Other code changes:
- I made an element which only lets an attached object move every x
seconds. This is because Goliaths are far too slow to use the speed
system (the glide just looks bugged as hell) but one thing I am invested
in when converting these is to make sure that they share the same
behaviour when player or AI controlled. This is disabled while you're
riding them because it was interminably slow.
- The Goliath tentacle trail uses a supertype object now shared with the
Meteor Heart which did something kind of similar.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It begins the process of moving one of our larger subsets of NPCs onto
the newer framework for NPC behaviour.
It adds a little bit more life to an iconic but slightly uninteresting
foe which mostly just walked at you slowly.
This PR contains a few components I expect to apply more widely to other
mobs in the future.
## Changelog

It seems the station has attracted the attention of a local polity! They
have sent a friendly reminder to pay their taxes, should the station
respond not in time or refuse to pay their taxes the polity will send a
heavily armed vessel to ensure they would pay their taxes. peacefully or
otherwise.
Gameplay aims: A different playstyle of pirates. most pirates (with the
exception of the greytide) have the same gameplay loop of raiding
vulnerable spots within the station and scurrying away and waiting out
their cooldown in the relative safety of their ship with turrets and
space to hamper the crew's attack my intention of this pirate variation
is to force them to actively fight the crew by making their armor
non-space worthy instead of hiding behind the wall of space
breaching shells for the space IRS to use and recode ammo box code to be
less snowflakey. Also my English isn't the very best and I wrote most of
it at 1AM. please point out any messages that feel strange or out of
place.

## About The Pull Request
As the title says, foxes are now basic mobs.
Foxes have a few new behaviors now, rather than the zero behaviors they
had before. Foxes, being very skittish animals, will flee from anything
that damages them. Additionally, they now have hunting behavior,
tracking down and killing anything of their size or smaller - regardless
of faction. They will not, however, hunt as long as someone is watching
them - which is to say, if any living humans are within 7 tiles of them.
Don't leave a fox and a chicken together while you're transporting your
grain to Lavaland! Also, make sure you don't leave Renault and Ian on
their play date unsupervised...
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gets rid of another simple animal. We grow ever closer to ascension.
Also, makes foxes a little more interesting rather than simply another
animal that does literally nothing. Renault will now flee from anyone
trying to kill her, for instance. Also opens up unique avenues of pet
murder if you want to make it look like an accident.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Foxes are more crafty now. They will run from danger, and hunt
small prey when no one is keeping an eye on them. Don't leave Renault
alone with Ian!

## About The Pull Request
/obj/structure/closet/mini_fridge is now a clean nice one, which only
spawns beverages and does not have that cockroach reference in the
description, and starts off anchored. now
/obj/structure/closet/mini_fridge/grimy works like the old mini-fridge,
with syndicake, moldy bread, and now the chance of an ACTUAL cockroach.
I've replaced them on maps according to each one's needs, So, as an
example, Northstar gets a regular one (it var edited it before) while
tram maints get the grimy subtype.
mini-fridges now can properly go over tables, so you don't have to
deconstruct said table to put it on top again.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I've found the need for a nice subtype while doing a ruin, and so has a
few other mappers apparently, as northstar had a var edited variant. The
fact that it couldn't go over tables and started off unanchored was
annoying on tram and icebox, where it is present on the kitchen and you
could easily push it to the ground and suffer.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: It has been issued brand new mini-fridges for our active stations,
Featuring more booze and less moldy pizza!

## Why It's Good For The Game
This subtype only exists to append ore box behavior and is clearly a
relic of pre-2020 mechcode.
Keeping it around will only make it harder in the future to add new
mechs with ore box support.
## Changelog

fix: Clarke ore box now has a less confusing dump contents button.

Theres one player-facing change in this PR and it's that I removed human
gibs from being valid in space turfs, making it more consistent with the
other gib decals.
I've cleaned up many instances of decals spawning in bad turfs on
mapload in https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/75189, but making
it error anytime in-game a decal is put over an invalid turf is bad as
it punishes contributors for not optimizing their decals properly.
This changes it so it only errors if it's on mapload, unit testing or
not.
I've also removed ``turf_loc_check`` and replaced instances of it with
overwriting ``NeverShouldHaveComeHere``, which gives us greater control
of where decals can be placed.
This let me remove 2 subtypes that were made to have decals in specific
places (which then got placed elsewhere, ruining it all).
Mappers are still able to set decals to be placed anywhere, they just
need to add it as a valid turf for that decal.
## About The Pull Request
Apps now properly delete themselves when removed, so they don't exist in
nullspace anymore.
Chat client now actually updates the uid, because its New() didn't call
parent.
Deletes the 'console' subtype of modular computer
Updates how downloading and transferring files are handled
Fixes being able to infinitely upload apps to a disk
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes some more bugs I found with apps and prevents spamming apps in a
disk.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Maintenance data disks now properly transfer from PC to disk
fix: Disks can no longer be flooded with the same app repeatedly.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
Unit tests will now fail if there's a decal in a wall or open space
turf. Open space turf could be limiting to mappers but I don't think it
makes sense for decals (like dirt, glass shards, etc) to be floating
around in space in the exact same spot.
If there's a decal you want to put in space, decals have a
``turf_loc_check`` var that will bypass this.
**Important note: This is not changing existing behavior. Decals already
delete themselves when they spawn in these incorrect locations, we're
just avoiding them from spawning in the first place.**
### Changes I made
- Ash flora are now lava immune, rivers spawn after flora does, so I
decided that it would be easiest (and more flavorful) to have them be
lava-immune rather than to not have them spawn at all.
- Decals can now be spawned in non-turf locations. This is currently
done by mail, which can give you bones as part of the mail. Currently it
will just delete itself instead.
- Trading Card button is now on the same tile as their display, which
now uses an offset. Before it would spawn it on the tile next to it,
which could be a wall in some instances.
- Mirrors now have floating movement type. They ARE floating since
they're attached to the wall, and it prevents them from burning up due
to lava in the Pride ruin.
- I also added a broken mirror subtype because I thought the icon_state
check was terrible.
- Bubblegum called ``DestroySurroundings`` several times on the same
thing, I hopefully fixed some of that. Their charge ability also
registered ``COMSIG_MOB_STATCHANGE`` despite ``/datum/action`` doing it
by default, so I fixed that too.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Decals in walls is already a bad idea, but currently all it does is
delete it on Initialize. It would be better if we ensured they wouldn't
spawn in the first place.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Lava will no longer burn 6 of the mirrors in pride ruin
fix: Lava will no longer burn plants that spawn in them.

This PR gives a small update to the patch of eden lavaland ruin, and
adds a new item that can be used as an upgrade to the plasma mod core.
The idea around this item is that it's a flower that has absorbed all
the plasma and bad-vibes in the small area around the ruin, leaving an
area full of plants, and a flower full of energy. This flower can be
taken from the oasis and turned into a functional MOD core using some
wires. As a MOD core, it is the same as the plasma mod core, but has a
higher energy capacity, being equivalent to a super power cell. It also
gives you a cool pollen effect, and spawns butterflies around you while
your suit is active. These butterflies disappear when they get too far
away, or if the suit deactivates. They also don't leave corpses, so they
shouldn't cause too much clutter.

## About The Pull Request
The current broken tiles have some visual issues:
- There is an ambient occlusion shade when it touches normal tile
- It has a layer higher than it should be which leads to things that are
normally above the floor layer, render below it. Such as atmos
machinery, cleanable overlays, etc.
This PR makes the render on a proper layer and work like a partially
destroyed floor tile that can be reclaimed with crowbar.
Also, the cleanables are now on FLOOR_CLEAN_LAYER to make dirt appear
above catwalks and these new tiles.
And the flat dirt now has 4 variants of sprites, while dust uses the old
dirt sprite. It seems like dust was just dirt with different description
before.
## Why It's Good For The Game
A broken tiling with no visual bugs and proper floor-like logic.
## Changelog
🆑 MTandi, Borbop
fix: Dust now has dust icon, instead of dirt icon. Dust on all maps
replaced with dirt
image: Flat dirt now picks from 4 new sprites
refactor: Made broken tiling work more like tiling and have
corresponding visuals. Added directional mapping variants.
fix: Cleanables now use FLOOR_CLEAN_LAYER to make sure that trash is
visible above catwalks

## About The Pull Request
Changed the amount from 1 to 5 for original `bone_gel` so it's easier
for mappers to add the right bone gel.
Deleted subtype `/four` and added subtype `/one` specifically for bone
gel creating.
Increased from 4 to 5 because surgical tape has 5.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Having 1 bone gel near 5 surgical tapes always seemed off.

Next part of my pass on space loot. This touches a few of the higher
powered ones I found with the help of Donglesplonge. The main goal here
was to replace a few significantly powerful items with less powerful or
harder to carry variants while retaining most of their value as well as
removing a few blatant antag-only items. The affected ruins and what was
changed:
Caravan Ambush - Replaced a mini energy gun with a survival knife.
There's apparently a chameleon kit here but I'm actually okay with these
staying - their relative impact on the round is low and they can be used
for creative drip reasons by crewmembers.
Old Infiltrator - Replaced the black-and-red softsuit with the
Contractor suit. It's in one of the suit storage units, which you'll
need a crowbar to open up.
Waystation - Removed a magazine from the WT-550 Autorifle crate. There's
still a Syndicate combat medkit and a set of night-vision goggles here
but they're behind multiple pod turrets. I want to get input on how hard
these are to get, but it seems relatively difficult, and I'm okay with
"a better medkit and night visions" as space loot. You outright can't
get the M1911 in antag stuff (as far as I can tell) so it stays.
The Faceoff - Replacing the syndie spacesuit/gear in the mining lockers
up north with unique Syndicate variants of the mining gear. Thanks to
necromanceranne for the sprites.
## About The Pull Request
On the tin. No new fancy AI wheels or anything, just a simple port.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Knocks another one off the list, just really light stuff. They're a bit
smarter now too, I think the intention was them for them to be pet-like
as well (according to the code). Should be really rather easy to give
them the pet-like behaviors and elements if someone really wants to in
the future, just sorta paving the way for more work to be done to make
mobs more intricate/interesting.
## Changelog

foe.

## About The Pull Request
Dead potted plant seems to be originating from RD's office, but it's
widely used in abandoned areas for mood.
This PR makes the dead plant more generic, making RD's plant a subtype.
Also now you can turn dead plant into a living one by using any seed on
it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
No more RD's plants in space ruins.
And now there is a way to do something with those dead plants again
(they could be sheared into a living plant with bonsai skill previously)

## About The Pull Request
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcUuqKrnvVY <- me getting rid of every
simple animal one thing at a time
Turns lightgeists into a basic mob. There are a few key advantages into
its implementation that was previously impossible in the simple animal
framework, which is entirely possible now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Lightgeists can actually have a bit of AI now, as a treat. They didn't
have it prior because I assume if they attacked anything, they would end
up healing it, and we didn't really have an option in the simple animal
AI to say "do not attack"... This really fixes that so they can wander
around a bit and look cute if some admin decides to spawn them in (but
the only way to get them outright is to use the anomalous crystal, which
auto-assigns a player). You don't see the AI if a player ghosts out of
the lightgeist because the lightgeist will delete itself on ghost
(previous behavior).
It also gets rid of some janky AttackingTarget() override that was
completely un-needed post-#73202.
## Changelog
Nothing really player facing.
## About The Pull Request
On the tin, I keep trying to tackle the larger basic mob projects but
burn out, so just enjoy these small ones to just keep that list looking
lighter and less insurmountable.
No big complex AI either, it choppa the tail off. That's all you really
need to be honest.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The cat surgeon will be just that slightly smarter. I suppose they're
still a doctor, just simply infatuated with the thought of cat tails...
noooooo my tail!!!
## Changelog

world around them on their endless pursuit for those felinid tails.
