## About The Pull Request
~~I wanted to do this after #77700 (wow cool numbers) but nobody has
merged it yet despite how simple it is so i'll just hope they don't
conflict.~~ Thanks san
I'm fucking about with mining mobs with the intention of making them
more interesting but not necessarily towards making mining _harder_, but
some of these changes unquestionably have done so.
These changes are mostly in response to feedback about Watchers who are
definitely significantly more threatening than previously, although some
of this is user error.
- Watchers are annoying when traversing lavaland because they use their
ability on you instantly upon acquiring a target, if you are trying to
escape other fauna this quickly becomes deadly.
- A lot of players don't really realise what the overwatch ability is
actually doing and so just complain about getting machine gunned.
- If you _do_ react properly to the ability it still makes fighting them
take a lot longer than it used to.
- The "look away" icon is hard to see in the dark sometimes
To ammeliorate these factors I have:
- Reduced watcher health by ~20%
- Display an alerted graphic over the head of the watcher every time you
trigger the overwatch.
- Multiple watchers now won't overwatch you at the same time (this made
the "penalty" volley essentially become instant death)
- The "look away" icon is rendered above the lighting plane so you can
always see it
- Added a new component which tracks how long a mob has had a specific
target.
- - Watchers will now only Overwatch you if they've seen you for at
least 5 seconds (usually they'll try and shoot at you twice before
this).
- - Goliaths will only tentacle you if they've seen you for at least 3
seconds.
If overwatch is still problematic after this I guess I can just nerf it
to not track movement at all and only respond to attacks.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I don't want to discourage miners from "actually mining" by having them
get sniped just for walking around and the added time-to-kill on these
guys could make clearing tendrils more tedious too.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Watchers have less health
balance: You can't be overwatched by several watchers at a time
balance: Watchers won't overwatch you instantly upon seeing you
balance: Goliaths won't launch tentacles at you instantly upon seeing
you

## About The Pull Request
the mega arachnid is now a basic monster. he is a very tricky and
opportunistic creature he will plan his attacks carefully and only
attack the weak. he will first try to throw fleshy legcuffs at his
victims, if the victim becomes cuffed he will move in to attack him,
otherwise he will run away from him while trying to throw restraints at
his legs. while he is running away he will also release slippery acid to
slip his prey. also when he is looking for his prey, he will be
transparent for more stealth. after he finds his prey the transparency
will wear off. he is also a very stealthy creature, he will break any
lights and cameras near him and he can also climb trees to hide in them
while he is looking for a victim.
## Why It's Good For The Game
add more combat depth for the mega arachnid

## 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.
balance: Unusual watcher variants are more likely to appear.

## About The Pull Request
i have refactored ice whelps into basic mobs. They are now the artistic
sort as theyll mark their territory by seeking out icy rocks and carve
out statues of theirselves using their claws to serve as a warning to
players/animals that this is dragon turf and theyll also go out of their
way to burn any trees in vicinity just for the hell of it. they are now
gruesome cannibals if they find a corpse of one of their kin near them
theyll go eat it for nurishment. AS for combat, they have a new ability
which allows them to release fire in all directions however theyll only
use this ability once their enraged meter is full. to make it fair ive
given them a new component which allows them to telegraph abilities and
only do them after a delay so players can react in time for it.

## About The Pull Request
Atomised change from a different PR I am working on.
This changes the basic mob ranged attacks element into a component so
that it can also track an attack cooldown on the mob, preventing it from
firing until the cooldown is complete.
This was possible with simple mobs but wasn't kept going forwards when
converting things to basic ones.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ideally player and mob behaviour should be unified as much as is
realistically possible. Currently mobs which are designed to fire a
powerful weapon slowly can blast as rapidly as the click cooldown if
placed under control of a player, which is not ideal.
This isn't currently aligned for melee attacks either but I will look at
that later.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Player-controlled basic mobs with ranged attacks can now only fire
about as fast as AI-controlled ones.

## About The Pull Request
Hey there,
I've personally fallen for this stupid thing twice (in #77503 and #75627
(d3575161ca)), so I decided to spend a few
hours to crack out a unit test to ensure that I (and no one else) falls
for this stupid thing again.
Let me know if there's a smarter way to code something like this, but I
couldn't figure out a better way to accomodate the current framework and
be as agnostic to certain oddities as possible.

## About The Pull Request
Adds Summon Simians, a spell that summons four monkeys or lesser
gorillas, with the amount increasing per upgrade. The monkeys have
various fun gear depending on how lucky you get and how leveled the
spell is. If the spell is maximum level, it only summons normal
gorillas.
Added further support for nonhuman robed casting: Monkeys, cyborgs, and
drones can all now cast robed spells as long as they're wearing a
wizardly hat as well.
Made monkeys able to wield things again.
Wizard Mutate spell works on non-human races. It also gives you
Gigantism now (funny). If the Race can't support tinted bodyparts, your
whole sprite is temporarily turned green.
Made Laser eyes projectiles a subtype of actual lasers, which has
various properties such as on-hit effects and upping the damage to 30.
Improved some monkey AI code.

It's criminal we don't have a monky spell, and this is a really fun spin
on it. Total chaos, but total monky chaos. It's surprisingly strong,
but! it can very well backfire if you stay near the angry monkeys too
long and your protection fades away. Unless you become a monkey
yourself!!
> Wizard Mutate spell works on non-human races.
This spell is great but it's hampered by the mutation's human
requirement, which is reasonable in normal gameplay. Wizards don't need
to care about that, and the human restriction hinders a lot of possible
gimmicks, so off it goes. Also, wizard hulk does't cause chunky fingers
for similar reasons
> Made Laser eyes projectiles a subtype of actual lasers, which has

Don't really caer about the damage so much, this is more so that it has
effects such as on-hit visuals. Can lower the damage if required, but
honestly anything that competes against troll mjolnir is good.
> Added further support for nonhuman robed casting: Monkeys, cyborgs,

SS13 is known for 'The Dev Team Thinks of Everything' and I believe this
is a sorely lacking part of this or something. It's funny.
I want to see a monkey wizard.
> Made monkeys able to wield things again.
I really don't know why this was a thing and it was breaking my axe and
spear wielding primal monkeys. Like, why?

## About The Pull Request
Goliath's sand digging behaviour could potentially target a turf that's
actually unreachable by the goliath, e.g.
```
G#
#T
```
where G - goliath # - wall T - target turf. fixed that, but i think
there could be something easier here, maybe instead grabbing turfs in
goliath's `view()`? unsure
The component goliaths use to telegraph their attacks
(`basic_mob_attack_telegraph`) casts a `do_after()` to perform the
attack, but it was not actually checking for the target staying in melee
range, as it was using the source goliath as both `user` and `target`,
so it didn't actually care at all for the target. Implemented an
`extra_checks` to `Adjacent()` since that's the closest we get for melee
range shenanigans I suppose
This still allows the source basicmob to attack the target if the target
moves around the source basicmob.
`!`Goliaths were also able to summon tentacles on a target that moved
into cover and still stayed in the `find_potential_targets` target
range. Which meant more wallhacks. This was a thing for the base
`find_potential_targets`, meaning that every basic mob using it was a
dirty haxxor (or very vengeful). Fixed that by making
`find_potential_targets` also check for `can_see()` before proceeding
further down `find_potential_targets/perform()`. `!` The only exception
to this check currently are bileworms.
`!`Goliath tentacles were not spawning in mineral turfs as their
`Initialize()` checked for closed turfs before handling mineral turf
mining. Fixed that as well.

## Changelog

fix: fixed goliaths digging sand that they can't actually reach (behind
windows or inbetween closed turfs)

fix: fixed goliaths summoning tentacles on targets that moved behind
cover but stayed in their targeting range. this applies for most basic
mobs, really, so if any basic mob was targeting you despite you hauling
ass behind cover, they shouldn't anymore

## About The Pull Request
I'm slowly chipping away at mining mobs. These ones also got some new
sprites because the old ones were a bit weird except when facing South.
Arctic Lobstrosities are now hairy to give them a little more visual
distinction from Lavaland ones.
In terms of behaviour, they're now a little faster and can charge you
from further away.
They will _only_ attack players who are incapacitated in some way
(primarily from being hit by their charge, but could be from a Goliath
or something too) and will otherwise keep their distance until they can
charge again. They move slower for a short duration after charging
though, so you have time to slap them a bit.
If a Lobstrosity downs you then it will try to snip off one of your
arms, then retreat in order to eat it.
Obviously nobody likes losing an arm, but this does give you an
opportunity to get away while it is distracted? Funnily enough the way
our health system works means that sometimes losing that arm actually
takes you out of soft crit so you can stumble back to the station for a
replacement (or try to wrestle yours back?)
All of these things are achievable also by a player if you make one
sapient, they will pull arms off mobs they attack which are in crit and
can eat arms if they see them lying around if they want.
I added an element to let you dismember people with your bare hands,
maybe someone evil can use it to add a beheading attack some day.
Here's a video of their new behaviours:

## About The Pull Request
Ok, so a few days ago I made an issue report about multiple instances of
identical elements being generated because of uncached lists.
ninjanomnom (the mind being the element datums) cleared it up and said
an implementation of GetIdFromArguments() that also checks the list
contents wouldn't be worth the performance cost, while adding that a
unit test should be written to check that it doesn't happen at least
during init, which should catch a good chunk of cases.
Also, i'm stopping RemoveElement() from initializing new elements
whenever a cached element is not found. Ideally, there should be a focus
only unit test for that too, but that's something we should tackle on a
different PR.
Some of the code comments may be a tad inaccurate, as much as I'd like
to blame drowsiness for it. Regardless, the unit test takes less than
0.2 seconds to complete on my potato so it's fairly lite.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a `dog_fashion` for the stick of butter.(screenshot is outdated as
Lisa won't have butter no more)
Also cleans up dog.dm because it was SHIT and FUCK and MY FUCKING GOD
TWO INITIALIZE()s TWO TIMES IN A SINGLE FILE WHAT IN THE GODDAMN
Most noticeably, Lisa properly won't wear any hats, and puppies properly
can't wear head/back items (by just removing those item slots from the
strip/equip menu. if some admeme wants to fumble around they may still
equip shit there. but otherwise for a normal player those slots are
inaccessible).
Basic mobs now also send signals when they run
`appear_dead`/`appear_alive` procs, which corgis hook into to update
their dead fashion overlays.
The side-effect of getting that to work is that dogs (and any basic mob
that uses `play_dead` ai behavior) are so good at feigning death, that
they fool medical HUDs and other related things. They're just that good.
There's a bunch of other things involved and I was mostly just being
angry at the state of the file so I'll check back when I gather all
things changed.

## About The Pull Request
Title.
Vendor tipping code is now on /atom/movable, and any movable can fall
over like a vendor does. Things like crits have been moved to
type-specific availability tables, their effects are now held in their
own proc, are now random per crushed item, have probability weights,
etc.
In the process of making this PR I also had to fix another issue, where
a bunch of take_damage() overrides had incorrect args, so that explains
the take_damage changes I made.
Tipping now also attacks any atoms on the target, given they use
integrity.
Adds 2 new malf modules.
1. REMOTE VENDOR TIPPING: A mid-cost and mid-supply module allows malf
AIs to remotely tip a vendor in any of the 8 directions. After 0.5
seconds of delay and a visual indicator (along with other warnings), the
vendor falls over.
1.1. In the process of making this I had to expand a arrow sprite to
have orthogonal directions, which is why you may see the testing dmi
being changed.
2. CORE ROLLING: A mid-cost but low-supply ability that allows the AI to
roll around and crush anything it falls on, including mobs. This has a
5% chance to have a critical hit so it isnt THAT terrible - plus it's
guaranteed to never stunlock. It's real utility lies in the fact the AI
now has limited movement without borgs. Also, the psychological factor.
As a bonus, vendor tipping now uses animate and transforms instead of
replacing matrices.
## Why It's Good For The Game
1. Generifying vendor tipping code is just good, period. It's a very
wacky and silly little piece of code that really doesn't need to be
isolated to vendors exclusively. ANY big and heavy object can fall over
and do a ton of damage.
1.1. Also, adding weights to critical hits is really good, because it
lets things like the headgib finally be a lot less terrifying, as
they're a lot less likely to happen.
2. Remote vendor tipping is a bit of a goofy ability that isn't really
THAT practical but has a chance of catching someone unaware and doing
some serious damage to that person alone.
2.1. Atop of this, vendor tipping isn't that loud of an action as say,
blowing things up, or doing a plasma flood. Even overrides aren't this
silent or a non-giveaway. A vendor falling on someone, though, is a
mundane thing that happens a lot. This is a decent way to assassinate
people before going loud (or at least, damage people) that isn't offered
yet.
4.
3.1. For real though, AIs rolling around is just fucking hilarious. The
ability to move isn't offered right now (which isn't that much of a bad
things), but with sufficiently limited charges (or limits to how many
times you can buy the ability), this can be a funny little t hing that
lets the AI potentially hide somewhere on the sat (or just relatively
close to the sat, such as engineering [it can't go through the
teleporter with this but it can go through transit tubes]) without the
need for borgs.
3.2. Also, it lets the AI sacrifically execute people by blowing up
their brains.

Restores lost functionality for a mob to play an emote when it acquires
a new target.
Also I added a generic blackboard key change signal which could
potentially have other uses in the future.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's good feedback to know when a mob has chosen to target something.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Carp, Trees, and Festivus Poles will once more sometimes emote at
you if they think you are looking at them the wrong way, before they
come over to beat you up.

## About The Pull Request
Removes all of the duplicate global lists for specific machine types
where the only thing they do is store all machines of that type.
Adds machine tracking to SSmachines in the form of a list for all
machines, and then an associative list for machines by their type.
Previously we have machines in multiple global lists, such as airlocks
being in GLOB.doors, GLOB.airlocks, GLOB.machines.
This makes that not a thing, and also means that iterating through
GLOB.machines looking for a specific type is no longer as expensive.

i transfered paper wizard from simple to a basic and i also gaved him
new fetures he can go and do. now when he will go and walked when he
walks there will be a paper effects when he goes to walk. also he will
he will now go to look for paperes on the floor and then he will write
stuff inside the paper, so a player can maybe distracted the wizard with
a paper because the wizard will stop atacked him for a bit until he
finished writted stuff inside the paper. i follow the instrucions in the
learn-ai md to maked this to a new ai subtree behavier.
## Why It's Good For The Game
the paper wizard is now a basic so he is a better ai and he also have
more feture to gaved him depth mechanics

## 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
🆑
refactor: Goliaths now use the Basic Mob framework, please report any
unusual behaviour.
add: Goliaths learned a couple of new attacks which they will use in
self-defence.
balance: Help-clicking a miner grabbed by Goliath tentacles will
immediately free them, as will the effect of several items you can
scavenge from around Lavaland.
image: New sprites for the Goliath saddle.

## 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!

This PR introduces a whole bunch of Coroner and Morbid related content.
Firstly, Morbid is now a mind trait, and specifically, coroners start
with it.
Coroners also have a liver trait that allows them to heal toxins (very
slowly) from eating pickles and drinking pickle juice. They also
can...drink formaldehyde. I guess. Dissections is thirsty work.
Coroners gain a whole set of special tools specifically for use in any
surgeries marked as interests of the Morbid. This is determined by the
``surgery_flag`` called ``SURGERY_MORBID_CURIOSITY``. Currently, these
surgeries are included;
dissections, autospies, revival surgery, plastic surgery, organ/feature
manipulations, amputations
To fit the theme, TRAIT_MORBID also applies the reduction to eye
snatchers.
While using their special tools, and the surgery is a morbid curiosity,
the coroner/anyone who is morbid gains a 30% speed boost! This stacks
with the dissection speed boost. Otherwise, the tools are just regular
tools with a special name (though the scalpel is better at killing
undead, because, you know, you're watching over the dead).
The coroner's special medkit, which is the only one you can get in a
round, can fit their autopsy scanners and tools. Anything that comes
standard with their kit can go back into it.
Anyone who is morbid can safely retrieve the secrets of the elephant
graveyard. The serrated shovel, notably, is a much better tool and
notably better at killing organics, but not inorganics (like the dead).
(Gives roboticists secure morgue access during skeleton crew pop totals)
adds the Vorpal Scythe, a special chaplain null rod variant, replacing
the Reaper Scythe, a not so special null rod variant.
When you choose the vorpal scythe, it comes as a shard that you implant
into your arm, similar to a cursed katana.
Once implanted, you can draw it at any time like an arm implant.
However, sheathing it again presents some problems. (Also, implanting
the organ gives you ``TRAIT_MORBID``, which I'll explain in a bit)
The Vorpal Scythe has 10 force, one of the weakest null rod variants for
force that isn't a joke null rod. However, it has exceptional armor pen
and also has 2 tiles of reach. So quite unique.
It also has a special beheading ability when you right-click someone.
This borrows some code from amputation shears, functioning pretty
similarly, except with a few additional ways to speed up the action and
restrictions. (It takes 15 seconds baseline to behead someone standing
and conscious, and speeds up or slows down based on factors such as
incapacitation and whether or not our scythe is already empowered)
When you successfully behead someone with a mind, the vorpal scythe
gains 20 force and can be safely stowed and drawn for 2 minutes.
Performing more death knells like this will reset the timer.
If it has not performed its 'death knell', or you haven't hit a living
mob, then it will cause severe damage to you if you ever try and stow it
(or its forced back into your arm). Just hitting a mob with the scythe
will sate it for 4 minutes. Unless it is a non-player monkey. Horrible
things. Just hitting mobs does not reset the timer on empowerment.
What this means is that the chaplain may be more hesitant to simply draw
their weapon on people. It also means that potentially, the chaplain
will not always have magic immunity, since they may end up stowing the
weapon away and be reluctant to draw it on a whim without either taking
damage for sheathing it without hitting something, or dealing with
having one less hand up until they can.
While empowerment only happens when you behead mobs with a mind,
beheading monkeyhumans and other mindless humans subtypes causes their
heads to become haunted! It's mostly harmless and largely just SpOoKy.
We don't want heads with actual players in them to go floating off to
space. (Does not work on monkey heads for sanity reasons)
When you have the Morbid trait, you think creepy stuff is cool and hate
saving peoples lives. You get a mood boost from graverobbing, autopsies,
dissections, amputations (including beheadings with the scythe and
amputations with the shears) and revival surgery. However, you get a
mood penalty when you tend wounds on the living, as well as a hefty
penalty when you perform CPR or defibrillate someone. I was thinking
Victor Frankenstein when I was choosing which actions had an associated
moodlet, so anything that I might have missed would be appreciated.
You also count as potentially cool with regards to haunted objects.
Ghosts think you're neat. (Revenants probably will still kill you if
they had the chance)

## 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.

## About The Pull Request
On the tin. They have pretty much nothing in common with chickens, so no
subtyping. They are in the same folder to keep that whole thing tidy,
though.
Also includes fixes to `growth_and_differentiation` element that I made
for spiderlings, since some stuff was yorked without me realizing. It
pretty much worked flawlessly for these chicks otherwise though. It all
works fine now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More verbose naming scheme (instead of "holo", we get "permanent"
chicks), smarter AI for chicks, knocks them off the list, etc. etc.
One thing that I wanted to do was to have chicks recognize their mother
(if they had one), but that would be way out of scope for this simple

## About The Pull Request
Currently, we don't have any such thing as a general ai_behavior flag
for behaviors that need a check for if the current_movement_target is
within reach or not. We could fix it case by case by slapping a
`CanReach()` check in the `performBehavior()` definition of every
`ai_behavior` datum that warrants it, the general issue will keep
resurfacing as long as new behaviors are added to the game anyhow, while
there's a lot less copypasta involved easier to apply solution to
current and future instances of such issue.
Worth mentioning not all ai_behaviors with required_range of 1 have this
flag. Some are fairly innocuous, such as the follow command, some others
kind of handle it already in a more peculiar or complex way, which is
also an argument against making it a hardcoded heck for when the
required_range is 1 or 0.
This has been tested, though there are some rough edges and oddities
also unrelated to his PR that might have evaded scrutiny.
## Why It's Good For The Game

Just another lightweight PR porting over a simple animal to the basic
mob framework with zero additional AI implementation (it's a killer
tomato- it spawns into the world to maul you. how much more intricate
does it need to be?).
This was pretty simple since they didn't have too much custom behavior,
and whatever they did have already had AI behavior. I got really burned
out the last two times I wrote intricate AI action/decision behaviors so
I'm just taking it light and doing the bare minimum.
one day our shackles will be free of the simple animal scourge. they're
also a bit more intelligent, and i daresay a bit cuter too now.
also that lizard gib animation has been sitting there for god knows how
long completely unseen, so let's actually hook it into the mob.
If I could've made this more atomic, I would have in a heartbeat, trust
me.
## About The Pull Request
Hey there. People were mocking us for having spiderlings still be a
subtype of `/obj/structure`. I decided to take a lot of time to fix
that. A lot of behavior it was implementing was just pseudo-mob stuff,
so it was actually easier than it looked for the raw conversion. A lot
of the footwork on spider stuff in the basic framework was already done
previously by Jacquerel, so that was pretty nice.
However, there are two new things that weren't introduced in the code
that had to be put in.
A) A component to handle growth and differentiation into a mob. This may
have already existed, no clue. If it does (and it's NOT
evolutionary_leap), let me know.
B) AI Behavior to handle seeking out a vent, entering a vent, and then
exiting out of a different vent. I may have gone a bit wacky on the
code, but it certainly works as expected (spiderling goes in one vent,
exits the other). Let me know if you can think of a way it can be better
optimized, but it was deliberately written to be very failsafey in case
shit goes yonkers.
One fundamental difference between structure spiderlings and basic mob
spiderlings (beyond the AI and not just a random prob() check for
movement) is the fact that they had vent movement coded in... but we
_really_ don't need stuff like that for our intents and purposes. If the
range turns out to be too OP in the current framework, we can always
change it up a bit, but also there's a _lot_ of vents we can end up in
the station (my testing had one spiderling end up in the AI sat to get
obliterated).
## Why It's Good For The Game
Spiderlings aren't structures! They behave like a mob should! Players
can possess spiderlings! They work seamlessly with differentiating into
a giant spider! Better AI! More room for people to add into this very
under-utilized buggers!
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Spiderlings are now basic mobs, report any complete
weirdness/deviation from known behavior. They should be a lot more
intelligent now though.
add: AI Spiderlings are super fragile, but they're also super fast,
especially when they get into a vent. Once they're in circulation, they
could end up everywhere! Maybe in the armory, maybe in a locked closet
in maintenance. Be sure to be vigilant and splat them whenever you can
to save the station from a whole lotta heartache!

deers only show up in the BEPIS but i decided that they would be easy

so do let me know if i glonked up anywhere and i can work on smoothing
it out.

## About The Pull Request
I'm not totally satisfied with the amount of random destruction caused
by space carp wandering around, they should certainly be dangerous and
annoying but the random nature of their spawning and pathfinding means
that they would trap themselves in random rooms and then smash all of
the machinery in there.
Because they could attack any dense object they perceived as being in
their way that could result in venting random gas canisters, breaking
terminals, or I even once saw them destroy the supermatter cooling loop
by eating the thermomachines.
While the latter is pretty funny, arbitrary destruction of machines
simply caused because a fish teleported into a room without you knowing
isn't really very engaging and doesn't create very interesting stories.
This ultimately isn't meant to be a heavily destructive event and its
probability to run isn't tuned as if it is.
So, a couple of changes:
I reduced both the range and cooldown of the carp teleporting ability.
This means that AI carp can use it to pathfind past obstacles pretty
reliably and don't spend so much time smashing things, and also reduces
the chances of them getting the drop on you from a location you can't
see.
I also added a short click cooldown to carp travelling through other
carp rifts so people being teleported _to_ have more of an advantage
over people ambushing them (this was already true for the carp creating
the rift).
Additionally I added an optional whitelist to the "attack obstacles to
your pathfinding" AI script, and heavily culled the kind of obstacles
that carp will attack to be ones which are mostly replaceable. They will
still cause a mess and might even vent a room, but they won't smash
vital infrastructure.
Finally I replaced a couple of instances of `get_ranged_target_turf`
with `get_ranged_target_turf_direct` for better precision, and player
carp using the ability can now just click anywhere on the screen and it
will jaunt in that rough direction. With the reduced range, having to
click within its radius was pretty annoying.
With these changes I ran the event 10 times in a row on kilo and then
watched JoJo's bizzarre adventure for 90 minutes and when I came back
the level of destruction seemed pretty reasonable (aside from the big
hole where one of them ran into the supermatter and delaminated it, but
if there were players around that wouldn't happen).
## Why It's Good For The Game
This event was still just a little bit _too_ annoying.
If something destroys important machines it should have happened on
purpose via an event which was supposed to do that, rather than through
chance. Or preferably just be player-driven.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Carp can't teleport as far, but can do it more frequently.
People who piggyback through their rifts will be blocked from attacking
for a short duration (the same as the normal attack cooldown).
balance: AI controlled carp will now be more selective about which
objects they smash. Player controlled carp (or carp directly instructed
to attack objects by people who have tamed them) can still attack
whatever they like.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new Cosmic Heretic.
Main Paths:
- Eternal Gate: Opens up the Path of Cosmos to you. Allows you to
transmute a sheet of plasma and a knife into an Cosmic Blade. You can
only create two at a time.
- Grasp of Cosmos: Your Mansus Grasp will give people a star mark
(cosmic ring) and create a cosmic field where you stand.
- Cosmic Runes: Grants you Cosmic Runes, a spell that creates two runes
linked with eachother for easy teleportation. Only the entity activating
the rune will get transported, and it can be used by anyone without a
star mark.
- Mark of Cosmos: Your Mansus Grasp now applies the Mark of Cosmos. The
mark is triggered from an attack with your Cosmic Blade. When triggered,
the victim transport back to the Cosmic Diamond, which is the location
your mark was applied to them. After getting transported they will be
paralyzed for 2 seconds.
- Star Touch: Grants you Star Touch, a spell that will give people a
star mark (cosmic ring) and create a cosmic field where you stand.
People that already have a star mark will be forced to sleep for 4
seconds. When the victim is hit it also creates a beam that deals a bit
of fire damage and damages the cells. The beam lasts a minute, until the
beam is obstructed or until a new target has been found. Can remove
Cosmig Runes and teleport you to your Star Gazer when used in hand.
- Star Blast: Fires a projectile that moves very slowly and create a
cosmic field on impact. Anyone hit by the projectile will recieve burn
damage, a knockdown and a star mark.
- Cosmic Blade: our blade now deals damage to peoples cells through
cosmic radiation.
- Cosmic Expansion: Grants you Cosmic Expansion, a spell that creates a
3x3 area of cosmic fields around you. Nearby beings will also receive a
star mark.
- Creators's Gift: The ascension ritual of the Path of Cosmos. Bring 3
corpses with bluespacedust in their body to a transmutation rune to
complete the ritual. When completed, you become the owner of a Star
Gazer. You will be able to command the Star Gazer with Alt+click. You
can also give it commands through speech. The Star Gazer is a strong mob
that can even break down reinforced walls. Star Touch can now teleport
you to your Star Gazer when Star Touch is used in hand."
Side Paths:
- Ash-Cosmic: Fire Fish: Allows you to transmute a pool of ash, eyes,
and a sheet of plasma into a Fire Shark. Fire Sharks are fast and strong
in groups, but are bad at combat.
- Ash-Cosmic: Curse of The Stars: Allows you to transmute a bluespace
crystal, a pool of ash, and a liver to cast a Curse of The Stars on a
crew member. While cursed, the victim will recieve a star mark that
lasts for at least 3 minutes. This star mark makes it so that the crew
member cannot enter cosmic carpet fields. The victim will also recieve a
cosmic carpet trail for at least 3 minutes.
- Ash-Cosmic: Eldritch Coin: Allows you to transmute a sheet of plasma,
a diamond and eyes to create an Eldritch Coin. The coin will heals when
landing on heads and damages when landing on tails. The coin will heal
for more, but only for heretics.
Extra ability information:
- Star Mark: This is a status effect that prevents people from walking
into cosmic fields.
- Cosmig Fields: Only block entities marked with a star mark,
projectiles or throwing items will still work. Lasts only 30 seconds and
5 seconds for the Cosmig Trail trait.
Some things I wanted to mention:
- Why the Star Gazer is balanced: It has 3000 health and can kill people
pretty fast, but at the same time, anyone can space the Star Gazer and
lead it away from the heretic if they do not pay attention.
- The Cosmic Heretics balancing has been carefully considered. It is
relatively weak in group situations but strong in one to one combat.
- Balance changes can also be made after the PR gets merged need be, or
it can be test merged first.
## Why It's Good For The Game
New heretic path means more choice and a different play style.

are the same as before, just tweaked slightly - Add water to the pot (50
units for 1 batch generally), then add all the corresponding ingredients
to the pot. Set the pot out on the stove and right click it to turn it
on. If the recipe's correct, shortly it will start to mix and give you
soup!
One soup recipe will give you roughly 3 servings of soup. You can pour
our the soup into a bowl using a ladle or just by pouring it manually.
Of note: **All of the reagent contents of the ingredient are transferred
into the soup.** Better, more nutrient rich ingredients produces more
soup, and poisoned produce will pass it on.
If you place the soup into a chem master, you will notice it's roughly
half "soup reagent" and half a variety of reagents, including nutriments
/ proteins. This is your soup! It is recommended you serve your soup
with the reagents included, as they make up more nutrition for the
customer, however you can separate it out if you're picky.
**Todo:**
- [x] Fill out the PR body a bit more
- [x] Mapping (wait for big merge conflict pr to go past)
- [x] Soup colors
- [x] Balance pass over for soup recipes
- [x] TODOs
- [ ] Unit tests
- [x] Cullen Skink's recipe is invalid
- [x] Try to see if there's an easy way to prevent soup from fattening
you up too easy.
## Why it's good for the game
Adds some more depth to the kitchen and moves chef away from the
click-button-get-food style that exists.
Allows for inherently custom soups by the way of making it reagents, so
no need to support custom soup food items.
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
Before, dogs were somehow magically able to drag their bed to you while
barking at/chasing you. that's silly, let's fix it by checking if you're
buckled, and then aborting course if we're comfy on our little bed
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes#74082
the dog is BUCKLED. it can't move. probably a better fix to this somehow
on a very deep AI level but that wouldn't allow us to have such a
soulful message (as well as potentially rule out a myriad of edge
cases), so i'm proposing this one.

fix: If you buckle a dog to a bed, it will no longer drag its bed as it
goes to bark at the mailman. It will instead be comfy and chilling, as
expected.

## About The Pull Request
Refactors regenerate organs to be slightly more intelligent in handling
organ changes and replacements.
Noteably:
- We don't remove organs that were modified by the owner; such as
changing out your heart for a cybernetic
- We early break out of the for loop if they aren't supposed to have an
organ there and remove it
- We check for the organ already being correct, and just healing it and
continuing if it is
Also changes the names of some of the organ helpers into snake_case

## About The Pull Request
There's a couple of open issues which fix places where only simple
animals were considered, but they are doing it piecemeal.
I decided to just go through every instance of `isanimal` or
`subtypesof(mob/living/simple_animal)` I could find, identify which
should also affect basic mobs, and fix them.
I left out the two others which are already in PR, I'm not stealing your
GBP.
Fixes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/68881
## Why It's Good For The Game
Consistency, mostly.
As far as I can tell all of these things _should_ have effected basic
mobs, but didn't.
This fixes a fair number of bugs but also they're bugs that nobody
noticed or reported.
There are a couple of places I did not update which will need updating
in future. These are:
- Dextrousness checks, because basic mobs don't have that yet.
- The Charge cooldown action, because frankly I couldn't tell what it
was trying to do.
alright here goes

## About The Pull Request
Hate having your cables eaten by mice? Nanotrasen have heard your
complaints and settled on a natural, _organic_, and eco-friendly
solution.
When this station trait is active, roundstart and event mouse spawns
have a chance to instead be replaced with duct spiders (both will exist,
it doesn't remove mice).
Duct spiders are largely harmless to humans, actively hunt other
maintenance creatures (such as mice), and have only one _tiny_ downside.
These mobs can also sometimes be spawned by a minor scrubber clog event.
As a side note, all spider basic mobs with AI (except Araneus) will now
try to automatically fill a small area around them with webs.
Also I made it so that mobs will ignore their random_walking behaviour
if they're engaged in a `do_after`, just in case.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Adds a little bit of variety to things which can slightly annoy you in
maintenance.
Spiders will automatically make places they live in look like spiders
live there.
## Changelog
🆑
add: A station trait which sometimes populates maintenance with small
spiders. You can wear them as a hat if you wanted to have a spider on
your head for some reason.
add: Spider mobs will automatically start webbing up their environment.
