## About The Pull Request
Recently we allowed items held in your hands to catch fire if you catch
fire.
This makes sense but the code had a few oversights, then we reverted it.
This PR reintroduces the feature, but with a few refinements.
The basic feature is simple: If you are on fire then items you are
holding will also catch fire, in the same vein as items you are wearing
on your head or hands.
There are also a few caveats we forgot about the first time we added
this:
- If your gloves cannot catch fire, your held items will not catch fire
(because your hands aren't on fire).
- If you are extinguished, your held items will also be extinguished.
- Stopping, Dropping, and Rolling on top of any items will also
extinguish those items.
As part of this change, after an argument about whether or not this is
an oversight in coding-general, I've made the proc `get_equipped_items`
take a bitflag instead of a series of booleans as an argument and added
a new one for "include held items", so that we need no longer argue
about whether holding something counts as "equipping" it (in all other
parts of the game than this proc, it does). This is what gives the PR
most of its code footprint, don't be scared.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Items you are holding in your hands _should_ catch fire if everything
else on your person is on fire, and taking an item off of your body to
put it in your hands shouldn't protect it from fire, because those
things don't make intuitive sense.
If we want an item to be able to catch fire when worn, then it should do
so.
This might expose some issues where we were improperly setting the
flammability flags on items, but any weapon which will burn in your
hands now would also have burned if you were wearing it on your belt or
back, so making those issues more visible should be a bonus (we'll also
stop them from burning on your back or belt).
If you see someone holding a piece of paper that you really don't want
them to read you can now set them on fire to stop them from reading it,
whereas previously they would deftly hold the very flammable object out
of reach of their flaming body.

balance: Items you are holding won't catch fire if your hands cannot
catch fire.

## About The Pull Request
Refactors body markings (lizard and moths) into the bodypart overlays
system
I've also renamed the icon states for lizard bodymarkings (downstreams
with lots of lizard body markings might have problems with this)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gives us better controle over /human appearances. I didn't add any means
of actually changing them on the person (aside from genetics. how would
that even work? with a waterproof marker?), but makes it easy for
when/if I do. Also unloads mutant_bodyparts more, moving is yet closer
to full species dedatumization

## About The Pull Request
After being put in stamcrit, future incoming stamina damage has
"diminishing returns" applied*.
The formula looks like `ceil(sqrt(amount of stamina damage) / 2) - times
you have taken stamina damage in stamcrit`.
This means eventually stamina based damage will do less than zero
damage, and thus, not contribute to keeping stamcrit active.
Very, very low amounts of stamina damage (such as from chems) contribute
to DR 1/20th the amount.
*_Note, this is not real diminishing returns because making it real
diminishing returns would be pointless, you are capped to 120 stamina
damage so 99.99% of the time you take stam damage while in stam crit
you're already capped. This is just faking the effect._
In its current stat this means that a stun baton will stop being able to
keep someone in stamcrit after the 5th hit, and a stock disabler will
stop being able to keep someone in stamcrit after the 4th hit.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mostly just an experiment. I don't imagine it will shake up much about
the baton situation in its current state.
There's also no grace period after getting UP - so like you can just be
stamcritted right after anyways. Maybe there should be one? Food for
thought.
And yes of course you can just space out your hits, you're not clever
for thinking about that
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
balance: Taking stamina damage in stamcrit has diminishing returns
associated, meaning you cannot be infinitely stamcrit.

## About The Pull Request
- Afterattack is a very simple proc now: All it does is this, and all
it's used for is for having a convenient place to put effects an item
does after a successful attack (IE, the attack was not blocked)

- An overwhelming majority of afterattack implementations have been
moved to `interact_with_atom` or the new `ranged_interact_with_atom`
I have manually tested many of the refactored procs but there was 200+
so it's kinda hard
## Why It's Good For The Game
Afterattack is one of the worst parts of the attack chain, as it
simultaneously serves as a way of doing random interactions NOT AT ALL
related to attacks (despite the name) while ALSO serving as the defacto
way to do a ranged interaction with an item
This means careless coders (most of them) may throw stuff in afterattack
without realizing how wide reaching it is, which causes bugs. By making
two well defined, separate procs for handing adjacent vs ranged
interactions, it becomes WAY WAY WAY more easy to develop for.
If you want to do something when you click on something else and you're
adjacent, use `interact_with_atom`
If you want to do something when you click on something else and you're
not adjacent, use 'ranged_interact_with_atom`
This does result in some instances of boilerplate as shown here:

But I think it's acceptable, feel free to oppose if you don't I'm sure
we can think of another solution
~~Additionally it makes it easier to implement swing combat. That's a
bonus I guess~~
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Over 200 item interactions have been refactored to use a
newer, easier-to-use system. Report any oddities with using items on
other objects you may see (such as surgery, reagent containers like cups
and spray bottles, or construction devices), especially using something
at range (such as guns or chisels)
refactor: Item-On-Modsuit interactions have changed slightly. While on
combat mode, you will attempt to "use" the item on the suit instead of
inserting it into the suit's storage. This means being on combat mode
while the suit's panel is open will block you from inserting items
entirely via click (but other methods such as hotkey, clicking on the
storage boxes, and mousedrop will still work).
refactor: The detective's scanner will now be inserted into storage
items if clicked normally, and will scan the storage item if on combat
mode

## About The Pull Request
Ok so like, we recently had an issue where a genturf was not being
replaced, which fucked ALL of icemoon's atmosphere.
The fix was to not use a genturf with a conditionally generating area,
but that aside. (why is it CONDITIONAL TIME GREEEEEN)
Planetary turfs should act like immutable ones when roundstart
equalizing.
In addition, we should test to ensure none leaves genturfs floating
around post roundstart to avoid this sorta issue.

## About The Pull Request
adds this map to the map rotation
bottom level (24.5.2024)

upper level (24.5.2024)

## general map details and department stuff
- the station is more focused on the bottom level, so falling in doesnt
roundremove you
- this is an asteroid station, so assistants can larp as dorfs and mine
towards the sweet loot
- there is plenty multiz usage
- service is the center of the station
**Service** - Is the center of the station. Arrivals docks directly in
the middle of the station next to Upper Service, so bar might get more
traffic. Not much different than normal Service, but janitors closet is
also present here, he sleeps on the floor. We do not talk about the
janitor. Above Bar is Library and Hydroponics with an overlook to look
at bar. The Theater has a big curtain and a podium directly in the bar.
29.3.2024

**Civilian** - Also in the center of the station, next to bar. There
isnt much to talk about dorms, its pretty normal.
**Cargo** - Absence of chutes that go to departments, reminder that mail
sorting is a thing. Cargo bay is a big open area with a boutique/shop
facing primary hall that starts closed, and Cargo has its own crate
elevator. Theres upper Cargo where mining, bitrunning and a secure
warehouse is located (There may be a murder scene). The quartermasters
office spans two z-levels and is relatively compact. Not much else
different from regular cargo. ~~Oh also the QM starts with an empty
PML-9 and a mostly functional rocket~~
29.3.2024

**Medical** - Large centralized medbay, also two z-levels. There is a
public waiting room with triage and a reception. There is also an inner
elevator for the crippled. There are two medbay-access patient rooms
that are unrestricted from the inside, and two operating rooms. Medbay
has its own rad shelter. The virologist does not get their own
satellite, but is still relatively secure.
29.3.2024
https://i.ibb.co/hs9kKbV/ezgif-1-f7b697b067.gif (large gif)
**Command** - AI Sat transit tube access is here. HoP has an open stall
facing primary hall, ~~and maybe a piano trapdoor~~ pretty classic
bridge, Captain does not get his own office but gets a really
comfortable quarters with his own emergency mass ejection for abandoning
ship. The council meeting room is present above bridge, with ERT Ferry
dock docking inside adjacent to the council room.
**Security** - Mostly bottom z level security. Very compact brig cells,
and a meeting room that everyone that is related to security may spawn
in if youre lucky. Warden has a weapon handout point facing the inner
security hall and the equipment room. Reeducation chamber has a shocked
grille treadmill. HoS and Warden Room and armory are on the upper
z-level, and warden has a VERY good overlook over permabrig. Armory is
seperated into nonlethal to mostly nonlethal and lethal.
29.3.2024

**Science** - Also pretty centralized, breakroom with a smoking corner,
two z levels and a big overlook. RD office overlooks toxins and bomb
site. Genetics and RD Office is on the upper floor, with a science
exclusive monkey exhibit. Xenobio is thick due to proximity to bomb
site, otherwise normal.
29.3.2024

**AI Sat** - Okay at this point assume any department is multiz. The
antechamber is an elevator and the turrets are on said elevator. The
elevator may be sent to the top level by engineers, where the AI core
is. Telecomms is on the bottom level, and AI core is above it. Contains
a borg entertainment room, and also the upload. The elevator being
raised is necessary to properly enter AI Room.
**Engineering** - Contains a less stale but still average and less than
optimal SM setup. Prone to catastrophic disaster. The SM Room is two
levels and very open, and CE has a trapdoor directly into the shard.
Turbine is above atmospherics, so is the crystallizer. The HFR and main
atmos and distribution room are on the bottom level. Piped by **Kendra
Hunter**. Contains a built in electrolyzer corner so atmos mains stop
gutting the aesthetics to place down some dumb machine.

## About The Pull Request
This PR turns gondolas into basic mobs and does some fiddling with
gondola pods
Their verbs are now action buttons which they lose upon delivering. If
set to stay, they won't have their abilities afterwards (or wont get
them in the first place if the delivery is already done).
Lets them survive without a pod requirement in case admins want to spawn
one for their own stuff, so I also removed it from the snowflake checks
to exclude them from stuff.
Also replaced the hardcoded "cant speak" with simply giving the mute
trait, so admins can make gondolas speak if they want to for any reason.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The pet level of simple animals can finally be killed off, also gives
admins more control over gondola-related stuff if they so wish.

The scrubs have never made sense to be as part of a medical doctor's

replaced afterwards, not to be worn 24/7. Also, in my opinion, they look
goofy as hell. Especially when doctors are wearing lab coats over them.

## About The Pull Request
This PR moves random name generation for species onto their languages.
What does this mean?
- For species with a predefined name list, such as Lizards and Moths,
nothing.
- For species without predefined name lists, such as Felinids, their
names will now be randomly generated from their language's syllables.


(In the prefs menu:)

Why?
- Well, we actually had some dead code that did this. All I did was fix
it up and re-enable it.
- Generates some pretty believable in-universe names for various
languages that are lacking name lists. Obviously defined lists would be
preferred, but until they are added, at least.
- Moves some stuff off of species, which is always nice.
- Also hopefully makes it a tad easier to work with name generation.
There's now a standard framework for getting a random name for a mob,
and for getting a random name based on a species.
Misc:
- Adds a generic `species_prototype` global, uses it in a lot of places
in prefs code.
- Makes `GLOB.species_list` init via the global defines
- Deletes Language SS
- Alphabetizes some instances of admin tooling using the list of all
species IDs
- Docs language stuff
- Deletes random_skin_tone, it does pretty much nothin
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert

qol: Felinids, Slimepeople, Podpeople, and some other species without

## About The Pull Request
- infuser entries global is now an assoc list type -> singleton. makes
it easier to pick specific entries as needed
- separated infusion behavior onto both movable level (for machine
occupants and things that can potentially be infused) and human level

- [x] tested
## Why It's Good For The Game
Upcoming plans is to fix up maintenance sect's organ replacement system
that just so happens to work a lot like how infusions do with actual
infusion mechanics, and that requires this prerequisite. In general
outside of that vision I see a lot of potential in alternate infusion
sources, from wherever they may be.

## About The Pull Request
refactors clothing visors to use the same system, including masks being
toggled and stuff like riot helmets toggling using the same system and
welding helmets and such
adds a handler that updates all visuals in slots that an item has
obscured, each visual proc calls that so you no longer have weird shit
happening like having to hardcode a proc for heads where you need to
also update hair, mask, glasses everytime you put on an item
one thing here i could also do is make check_obscured_slots return the
HIDEX flags instead of item slots, because in 99% of cases its hardcoded
to be ran against specific slots (like eye code running it against the
glasses slot), but maintainers didnt seem to like that :/
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
Basically every single CI Run is throwing the following warning:
```txt

```
You may find an example here:
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/actions/runs/8698627681/job/23855921813#step:9:24
This is pretty silly but I don't really know why we even have this
variable (I assume there's something far more complicated underneath the
surface based on what the unit test is asserting), but assuming it is
important let's just insert a do-nothing procedure to get rid of the
compiler warning while ensuring the unit test is actually operating as
it should.
I also don't really like the fact that this is a warning instead of an
error but let's tackle this problem one step at a time by at least
getting rid of the compiler warning in a quick advance PR while I dwell
on this issue (is there a way to get the Dreamchecker linter to look at
the unit test files? it's caught perfectly fine in the langserver)

This PR adds the ability for monkeys to wear any jumpsuit in the game,
and adds support for them to wear things like coats, gloves, and shoes
(though this cannot be obtained in-game and is solely achieved through
admins, which I also improved a bit upon by adding a defined bitfield
for no equip flags).
This reverts a lot of changes from
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/73325 - We no longer check
height from limbs and such to bring sprites down, instead monkeys now
work more similarly to humans, so the entire PR was made irrelevant, and
I didn't really want to leave around dead code for the sake of having a
human with longer legs.
I've now also added support for Dwarfism, which makes monkeys look even
smaller. Very minor change but at least now the mutation doesn't feel
like it does literally nothing to monkeys (since they can already walk
over tables).
Here's a few examples of how it can appear in game (purely for
demonstration, as it is currently intentionally made impossible to
obtain in-game, though if someone wants to change that post-this PR now
that support is added, feel free):
Tails have been broken for a while now, the only reason you see them
in-game is because they are baked into the monkey sprites. This fixes
that, which means humans can now get monkey tails implanted into them
(hell yeah) and monkeys can have their tails removed (also hell yeah)

Setting weight class of items is now done via `update_weight_class`.
I updated as many occurrences of manually setting `w_class` as I could
find but I may have missed some. Let me know if you know of any I
missed.
This is done to allow datums to react to an item having its weight class
changed.
Humans and atom storage are two such datums which now react to having an
item in its contents change weight class, to allow it to expel items
that grow to a weight class beyond what is normally allowed.

## About The Pull Request
On one compile of MetaStation, I saw that there's 45 basic mobs on the
station, 256 on lavaland (the number growing from tendrils), and 59 in
all other z levels combined.
While we do expect Lavaland to be visited every round, at least it won't
be running during the times when no one is there, but even more
importantly, space exploration is something not done every round, so we
don't have any reason to waste our resources on AIs that will never be
interacted with.
Simple animals had an easy solution to this:
If no one is on the Z level, their AI turns off
If someone is on the Z level, they are idle unless needed.
The last simple animals that exists right now are bots, megafauna,
geese, gondolas, and some minor ones like mimic, zombie, dark wizard,
soulscythe, etc.
Point is, we're very much nearly done going through all simple animals,
so this code is being wasted just to ensure things like cleanbots won't
work if no one is on the z level, something I doubt happens often, so I
took their code and made it work for basic mobs instead. I could've done
both but I thought it would look very bad, and maybe this is a good
incentivize to get more basic mob conversions.
There's one major change here and it's that we're missing the "Idle"
mode, some basic mobs like the Lavaland village seems to be made with
intent that they'll be running even if players aren't around, so this
sets up a future PR that makes idle AI easier to add, and I want to make
sure those cases are taken into account.
## Why It's Good For The Game
We don't need to always be processing these basic mobs, and sets us in
the future to hopefully also implement idle AIs.

Basically, the unit test that makes sure that all of the subsystems that

failed to initialize:

Basically this PR just adds a variable, `initialization_failure_message`
(i have it on good authority that variables that don't get changed from
their compile time variable don't take up extra memory), and we just
append the failure message to this notice should it occur so all of the
information is available in one spot, rather than have the coder dig
through the CI Run Log to figure out what the specific error was should
it occur on something that isn't SSlua.

Credentials Confirmed
The Birdshot Engineering Revitalization Plan (formerly proposal
Blindfold, now BERP) is a procurement effort to address growing
maintenance liabilities and costs on the Skitter-MDR Class Orbital
Station located in the Spinward Stellar Cluster (SSC, Sector 28-7b).
Over the course of the previous year, ongoing analysis data has provided
vital feedback since the station was once again brought into operation
after 17 years of abandonment; and using this data, 4 options were
outlined for the Blindfold Proposal.
1) Abandonment - No Cost. Operations on Birdshot will cease. 28-7b
operations will be moderately impacted.
2) Procurement - Medium Cost. Replace offending station sections
completely with low-cost, working alternatives. Operational gains in
28-7b expected.
3) Do Nothing - No Cost. Moderate long-term impacts to operations in
28-7b.
4) >>>_Was removed_
Option 2 was selected for BERP. Procurement efforts identified 3
solutions and later narrowed it down to 1. Following the selection
process architects were brought in to draft up low-impact refits to the
designated hulk. 5 selections made it past initial drafting, with 3
ultimately being selected for engineering board review. Penultimately
draft proposal 3 was selected for the project and now awaits engineering
certification. The draft plan is provided on the next page:

Following board certification, implementation of the plan will be
commenced by 28-7b Nanotrasen Enigneering Corps. (NECs). Construction
time-frame pending Project Foremans review.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Birdshot Engineering is where this whole station began. Back then,
things were going to look closer to Birdboat Station, but that became
looser and more ill-defined as progress was made on the overall station.
While I was satisfied of the decrepit feel of Birdshot Enigneering
initially, I knew that at some point, it would require modification to
better play into Birdshots strengths.
I've had a long laundry list of a roadmap that I've wanted to implement
since the station was added, and this was the top item. Tier Zero.
Problema Numero Uno. You get the idea. This has been a year of drafting,
redrafting, and redrafting everything until it fit Birdshot right. With
this, we're nearly there. I see this being the definitive Engineering
Department for this station for quite some time to come. However, this
is still a draft and some elements are subject to change as I begin to
work out some of the more minor kinks in the draft such as pipe
locations and transit tubes.
Presently Atmospherics is completely rebuilt from the bottom up. There
is more space, enough to do projects, but you'll have to tear down some
windows and walls to gain it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You also
have most of the gas distro line outside. I'm a firm believer in
enabling whatever antics ANY lunatic may have. Atmos techs can rest
assured that outside lines are completely reconfigurable (and powered)
enabling some... unique project prospects. You also gained an inside HFR
and Spare burn chamber. Enjoy.
The Engineering Common Areas are now inside the department proper
instead of the satellite treatment in the original implementation.
Security gets an actual outpost and engineers now have a proper office
to file engineering documentation. They say that office colleagues can
form tight bonds so let's see whose is stronger: Purples or Yellows?
The Supermatter Engine is more of an upgrade over the previous model
(Leaky SM is here to stay so deal with it). The room is larger with less
rock, allowing some manner of greater customization, but I believe
engineers will be more than happy to find that they now have a Burn
Chamber of their own. I have zero clue of what they'll do with it, but I
think any enterprising CE will be able to create something that even god
should fear.
Finally we have maint improvements. Nothing really to see here though
maybe there's the beginning of something for the future if you care to
speculate. I couldn't really keep the meandering maint of the previous
rock, so instead we now have some pseudo dead-ends. It's all connected
by transit tubes to the north (not shown) so you can slowly get around
if you will it. Of course there's plenty of cut-throughs,
not-so-finished sections, and opportunity for those who need it. Caution
to the blind, this whole rock is spicy.
Overall I'm happy with this and want to open it up in Draft Mode for
initial thoughts. I have a rough timeline on finishing this that
stretches out to the weekend, so the earlier comments are, the more
likely I'll be able to MAYBE do something about it. Thanks for the
patience and hopefully this is a doozy of an update for all our players.

## About The Pull Request
After months of preparation, and further months of work, I am finally
done. Please bear with me, as this is a massive refactor, but I have
already atomized everything I could. This is now ready for review.
General
- The hilbert hotel slimes are now a subtype instead of a varedit.
- The `use_mob_ability` subtree now also accepts non cooldown abilities.
If set_behaviours is set up properly, mobs won't keep continously
triggering it as if it were a 0 second cooldown action. The alternative
would have been turning the slime abilities into cooldown abilities.
- Wrestling off a slime now signs up to the `COMSIG_ATOM_ATTACK_HAND`
signal, instead of being part of attack_hand.
- Adds datum/ai_controller/controller as a fourth, optional argument to
`/datum/ai_behavior/find_hunt_target/valid_dinner()` to make it possible
to access blackboard keys.
- Slimes no longer attack windows if they would accidentally move into
them (when the conditions are met), since random walk behaviour ignores
tiles they can't go in. It was also not worth to keep. Did you know this
was the sole override of `ObjBump()`?
- Examine was made less snowflaky/bespoke. Also added a new element:
`/datum/element/basic_health_examine`, which is a simple bespoke element
that prints out a custom message based on how damaged the basic mob it
is attached to is.
- Slimes only perform knockdown instead of paralysis, as they can attack
more often now, and paralysis is not that fun.
- LAssailant has been removed due being archaic code. To befriend a
slime, you have to spawn a monkey with the slime console, or feed them a
sheet of plasma. Simple grabbing the monkey or stuffing them in
disposals do not work anymore. Slime console spawned monkeys will have a
visible status effect, with pheromones coming off them to make this
clearer.
Actions
- Feeding, reproduction and evolution is no longer a verb.
- Slime feeding is no longer an action button. You have to use right
click, or as previously, mousedrop. Slimes can always unbuckle from mobs
they are attached to.
Hunger
- Instead randomly changing the starvation and max nutrition values
while growing up, evolution costs 200 nutrion. This makes the code more
readable, and behaviour more predictable, while still giving the
intended time between evolving and splitting. As a result, I could also
turn these into defines.
- Added a component that handles doing an effect over time while buckled
to a mob, until the mob dies or you get unbuckled.
- Slimes gained nutrition is no longer randomly multiplied by the damage
config value, but rather gain nutrition equal to twice the damage dealt.
You'll have to eat one monkey to evolve, just as before.
- Slimes do not heal passively. They only heal from eating. It was a
rather miniscule value that did not have much effect.
- Slimes generate electricity from hunger threshold, instead of the
random amount of hunger threshold + 100.
Environment
- Slimes take 15 damage from cold every second, instead of using a
complex formula (that also decreased the damage up to a point?).
- Slimes still heal from burn damage, but this is now set on the damage
coefficient list.
- Slimes instead of getting stunned by the cold, freeze in an ice cube.
BZ instead of setting them unconscious, calls the stasis status effect,
allowing you to safely stash your hungry slimes for later. They also no
longer slow down from the cold, as they are already slowed down by the
damage they get. Conversely they no longer get a speed up from a random
amount of temperature. I could be convinced to readd this either as part
of the basic sensitive component, or a similar one.
AI
- Removed the attacked_stacks system. Slimes will just perform regular
retaliation if you hit them in a harmful manner.
- Slimes now use the pet orders component. They will interrupt their
feeding when given a command by their master.
- Slimes have their own subtrees. I tried to replicate as much as I
could from the old code, dividing ancient code artifacts and intentional
stuff, so there might be some weirdness.
- Slime speech has been almost fully reduced to basic blorbing, as you
can not even understand them anymore, and most of them require the slime
to loop through all of their surroundings.
- Discipline does not have stacks either. Disciplined baby slimes have a
chance to clear their attack and hunt blackboard keys. All slimes will
stop feeding on the target otherwise.
- Since discipline is not a stack, rabidity instead gets removed at a
10% chance per disciplining.
- Slimes faces are a bit more randomly picked now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
- We want to convert all simple animals to basic mobs. Old slime code
was also very strange, and had some systems that have been replicated by
components.
- Slimes fully paralyzing you is not fun at all. Knockdown should give
you a fighting chance when a slime would like to eat you.
- Slimes slow down from the heavy damage they get from the cold, so I
don't think they need extra slowdown, nor do they need to speed up from
warmth, as they are already fast.
- Slimes turning into an icecube instead of becoming paralyzed from the
cold is more fun for the slimes, as they can break out for a few
moments. It is also funny.
- Slimes entering proper stasis from BZ is not just a visual indicator
of a slime that is safe to approach, but also keeps the slimes's hunger
value in check, allowing it to not starve while stopped. They can also
look around and blorble, instead of staring at a black screen, if player
controlled.
- The attack_stack and discipline_stack behaviours were rather
overcomplicated, and the xenobio mains I talked with didn't even know it
was a thing, so I argue it needed simplification.
- The bespoke friendship system of slimes was also too complicated.
Slimes slowly gained levels of trust, and at certain levels commands
costed friendship, and other levels, they did not. The binary friend/not
friend system that everything else in the game uses is much more
sensible.
- Using right click for feeding is much more sensible than using an
action, and then picking someone from a dropdown.
- Slime speech was very soulful but not only did it loop through
everything in sight, you couldn't even understand it unless you spoke
slime. Maybe it can be readded later in a different form.
- Slime's passive healing was miniscule, and having them rely on feeding
is more interesting.

## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Slimes are now basic mobs. Please report any strange
behaviours!
balance: Slimes only stun you for two seconds when they shock you, the
rest of the duration is a knockdown.
balance: Slimes are not stunned from the cold, but rather, get frozen in
a freon icecube. BZ also puts them in complete stasis, instead of making
them unconscious. Their speed is likewise unchanged by temperatures.
balance: Slimes do not passively heal, they instead rely on feeding.
fix: Slimes can use the buckling screen alert to unbuckle and stop
feeding, along with clicking on the mob they are riding

## About The Pull Request
I've recently noticed that the maploaded penguins from the snowdin away
mission were dying from unsafe atmos/temperature. This sparked the idea
of making a (focus only) unit test that would prevent this sort of
issues from happening.
This PR also implements the usage of the `atmos_requirements` and
`body_temp_sensitive` elements for simple animals too, cutting down the
copypaste.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More unit tests to make sure things are done correctly.

fix: Made sure that mapped critters (i.e. penguins on the snow cabin
away mission) can survive in the environment they're spawned in.

## About The Pull Request
- Departmental orders are now an NTOS app
- To download, they require `ACCESS_COMMAND`.
- To use, they require one access from the department.
- This means you cannot order things from not-your-department unless you
have an ID.
- When newly downloading the app, it will prompt a head of staff to
insert an ID, to determine which department to be linked to.
- Changes chat room overlay from the kind that AI uploads use to a new
icon.
- Minor refactors to department order in general.


## Why It's Good For The Game
These two computers are surprising waste spacers for two things which
are tied together.
So why not combine them?
The lesser used cargobus chat is still there, and departmental orders
are front and center.
This gives mappers a ton more leeway when mapping departments out and is
overall less clutter.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
qol: Cargobus chat console and Departmental Order console are now
combined into one.
qol: Mod PCs active on the "chat client" apps no longer look like AI
uploads (and now have their own sprite)

oddities.

## About The Pull Request
We currently have 2 types of xenos in the codebase, simple animal and
carbon.
I'd like to unite them both under basic, and I thought I should go for
simple animal first since it's more of a conversion than a remake.
This helps set a base for a future basic-only xeno, which would require
the following:
- Basic mobs (or just anything than Carbon) to have Organs, which we can
then use for things like referring to their plasma sac for egg-laying,
etc.
- All xeno types having a basic mob variant, preferably with an AI so
they would work without a player.
- Something be done about larva, either we'd split basic xenos into
"larva" and "adult" (like carbon) or have it be a separate path that can
also have organs so they can still have hivemind.
Everything else seems to have been done overtime as simple animals have
been converted to basic (HUDs and holding things now seem possible,
etc.)
Even if this doesn't work out, at least this cuts off a good chunk of
the remaining simple animals to convert to basic.
Sprites used (for mapping helpers):
Fire medkit
Toxin medkit
Oingo Boingo punch face (i tried to shrink it down)
## Why It's Good For The Game
This helps advance us move away from simple animals, and helps move
carbon xenos to basic mob later too if that's what we want to go for.

## About The Pull Request
`var/hair_color` for species was intended to be used as a "this species
uses this type of hair color thing"
But at some point that got completely lost and now it's only used for
sprite accessories
This fixes that. That means Slimepeople now have properly slimey hair.
And Ethereals are less snowflake once more.

## About The Pull Request
- Dehardcode blood deficiency
- Deletes "update mail goodies"
- Deletes "updates quirk mail goodies"
- Both of these were only used to update blood deficiency mail goods, we
can just do that with a signal.
- Deletes hardcoded "get_quirk / lose_blood" calls
- While you can `get_quirk`, much like you can `GetComponent` generally
speaking it's much cleaner to do it via signals.
- In this case I added a signal to `handle_blood`.
- And by adding this signal we can do similar dehardcoding for
jellypeople, removing their `spec_life` and running it off the signal.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ye olde "consistency and cleaner code". And probably a tiny but of
optimization to be yeeked out of it since we don't need to iterate over
a mob's quirk list every life tick, nor every time we change specieses.
But that's probably not even a drop in the bucket so not even worth
mentioning.
Blood defi still happens in sync with Life (as noted by the comment).
## Changelog

refactor: Blood deficiency and slimepeople now handle blood a tiny bit
differently, report any oddities.

## About The Pull Request
- https://github.com/DaedalusDock/daedalusdock/pull/892
Currently, TG's movement chain is not canonical, meaning movement can
resolve in an order that doesn't actually represent what it going on.
For example, if something inside of an Entered() call would move the
currently moving object, it resolves in this order:
1. Original Move
2. Intercepted Move
3. Intercepted Moved
4. Original Moved
This makes Moved() unreliable at tracking things like spatial grid
locations. This is a massive problem.
This PR introduces `active_movement`, a list containing arguments for
`Moved()`. At the start of `Move()` and `doMove()`, if the list is
present, it will call Moved(), concluding the original movement, before
proceeding. The original `Move()` call will not end in `Moved()`, due to
`active_movement` being null.
This is touching some of the most important code in the game and needs
extensive testing.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a **persistent** piggy bank to the station vault that,
while it can hold up to 3300 credits carried between shifts. However,
you can only insert up to 1600 (on top of the 50 creds it
auto-generates) each shift, so it does take a small, itsy bitsy of
patience to fill it to the brim.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I put some effort coding persistent piggy banks when making the
cafeteria PR for the museum away mission a while ago (which apparently
isn't enabled yet because the key holders forgot to ig). It'd be a shame
of all the existing code were only used for a single persistent piggy
bank.
## About The Pull Request
This PR does many things, I'll try to explain the basic/background stuff
to the main thing first:
1. Adds a new remote that allows a human to function like an AI. It
controls a fly that will fly around the station slowly, and when it
reaches a machine then the person can interact with it as if they were
an AI. This required changing a lot of silicon/AI checks with one that
also checks for this remote, and some messing with shared ui state.
2. Moves req_access from the obj and bot to ``/atom/movable`` which lets
it be shared between the two, no more copy-paste and one side lacking
features/checks/signals the other has.
3. Adds a check for AI config for AI-related station traits, which was
lacking prior
Now for the good part...
Adds a new station trait that replaces the AI with a Human.
This person is equipped with an AI headset (including Binary), an
advanced camera console, an omni door wand, the machine controller, and
their laws.
They are immune to the SAT's turrets (even if set to target borgs) and
are slow outside of the SAT, mimicing the actions of the AI.
They interact with the world through their advanced camera console,
which allows them to do most AI stuff needed, and the holopad they can
connect to without having to ring first (like Command can).
They are given a paper with the laws they must follow, but since they
are human they are able to bend it. Cyborgs that run the default lawset
are "slaved" to them via an unremovable law 0, so the Human AI can bend
the laws if they really need to (for their own survival n such), and
make the cyborgs obey their commands above laws, but in general this
shouldn't be a frequent occurrence. This does take into account the
unique AI trait, so it's not guaranteed Asimov.
When this station trait rolls, all Intellicards, AI uploads, and AI core
boards are destroyed and are unresearchable. They can be spawned by
admins in-game if necessary. Maybe in the future we can also exclude
Oldstation from this but I haven't really decided.
Extra perks:
Human AI spawns with a Robotic voicebox (unless they are a body purist)
and teleport blocking implant, so they can't use teleporters to bypass
their on-station slowdown.
They also have an infinite laser pointer that can be used to blind
through their camera console. This is unfortunately nerfed from the
recent borg balance PR that removed its stun. This was meant to be the
alternative to no longer being able to permanently lock borgs down like
AIs can (or more than one, for that matter).
They aren't affected by Roburgers, Acid, and Fuel's toxicity.
Bots salute them like they do Beepsky (which is now a trait)
They spawn with SyndEye to replace the AI's tracking ability
They do not have a bank account
### The machine remote
The machine remote has a little fly in it that flies to the machines it
is pointed to, working as the arms and legs of the Human AI. It scans
the machine and punches in the action the AI does, and is how the AI
accesses basically anything. This fly slowly moves from one machine to
the next, and can be recalled with Alt Click.
It works on machines and bots.

https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/53777086/e16509f8-8bed-42b5-9fbf-7e37165a11e8
## Why It's Good For The Game
I've seen a funny screenshot one day of a person replacing the AI by
using a bunch of door remotes, camera console, crew monitoring console,
and a few other things. I've been thinking about that for a few years
and really wanted to make it official if not easier to make possible,
because it is an incredibly funny interaction.
This makes it a reality, and while they aren't as powerful as regular
AIs, I think it makes for better and funnier in-game moments. With the
same weight as Cargorilla (1), I hope this wouldn't be rolling too often
and ruin rounds, but instead show off the different capabilities that
Humans and AIs can do, to do the job of an AI. You win some you lose
some.

## About The Pull Request
Added secondary objective lockboxes to bitrunning. These pull from a
list of secondary objective loot on the domain, with a limited quantity
of items. Once there are no items left to pull, the secondary objective
disappears. If multiple secondary objective markers are placed, they
will be placed until all markers have been used, or all the items in the
loot pool are already spoken for.
To support this functionality, adds SSbitrunning, which stores all
domains as instances, instead of checking the hardcoded types as
previously. SSbitrunning manages listing domains for the quantum
console, and rolling secondary loot.
As an example of this functionality, added a side path to Glacier Grind
with a polar bear and some loot.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Secondary objectives give mappers ways to encourage players to venture
into a wider range of domains by offering non-trivial loot beyond the
fluff items given in the main caches. The absolute limit on the number
of items available ensures these items can't be farmed.
As well as supporting secondary objectives, SSbitrunning allows for
future support of features relying on mid-round modification of domains,
for instance adding custom domains.
## Changelog

## Why It's Good For The Game
hardstun rocket-tag combat bad. opportunities for counterplay and combos
good.
Paralyzes
- basically prevent you from doing anything. anything.
Knockdowns
- let you try to deploy your flash protection before the follow-up if
the opponent's just trying to use the flash
- let you try to crawl, juke, and make your opponent's life a little
less simple
- give you an actual choice: do I try to scream HELP immediately after
the flash before I get taken out, or try to use an item, swing back, or
wriggle out?
- still disarm you if you're standing which is pretty cool I think
- still let you stamcrit some goofball crawling at you even if they keep
crawling

## About The Pull Request
[Design Document (Read this for more
information)](https://hackmd.io/@L9JPMsZhRO2wI25rNI6GYg/rkYKM9Yc6)
This PR adds Spies as a new roundstart antagonist type, inspired by
Spy-Thiefs from Goonstation.
Spies are tasked with stealing various objects around the station, from
insulated gloves to the black box, from the clown's left leg to the
bridge's communications console.
For every item stolen, the Spy is rewarded with a random item from the
Syndicate Uplink, plus some items uniquely available to the Spy. Stolen
items are then shipped off and sold on the Black Market Uplink, allowing
the crew - or maybe some other evil-doers - to get their hands on them.

More ideas for theft items and bounties are welcome.
## Why It's Good For The Game
See the design document for more information.
In short: Adds a solo antagonist which has less impact than your
Traitors and Heretics, but more impact than Paradox Clones and Thieves.
In other words: On the same tier as old traitors.
Seeks to embrace the sandbox aspect of antagonists more by having no
precise greentext objective, and instead some suggestions for chaos you
can embark in. Have fun with it!
