## About The Pull Request
Atomized #78997
Broke up duplicate signal usage - though they do the same thing, this is
convention & it makes it easier to debug
Removed custom alert subtypes in favor of just setting values directly
Removed some unnecessary vars like the console ref from the server
Since I'm just copying this over, it has added exam text for net pods,
which fixes an issue reported to me in Discord

## About The Pull Request
Adds two variables to bitrunner domains, one for making them not spawn
disk items, and one for making them not grant disk abilities to
bitrunner characters on loading into the domain.
Not presently used in any domains, but will be a mystery tool that will
help us later.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I've thought of a few pretty good domains but the ideas behind them fall
apart a bit of joey bitrunner can bring a desword and fireball into
them.
## Changelog
🆑
code: Bitrunner domains can now have spells or items from disks disabled
if the domain maker wants such a thing

## About The Pull Request
_Really? Bitrunning maps are so simple you could do them with your eyes
closed? Hmmmmm..._
This adds two new medium-difficulty virtual domains to the pool -- Crate
Chaos and Infected Domain.
These two domains take you to neglected corners of the virtual world.
These are unstable, bizarre locales that do not support the bitrunning
machine's visual display, and must be traversed using echolocation.
**_These domains have been designed around you being a psyker, and will
turn your bitrunner avatar into a psyker until they leave the domain._**
_**Crate Chaos:** Low cost, medium reward._
Sneak into an abandoned virtual domain, where they store all of the loot
crates. There's about 40-ish crates in this space, and one of them
(RANDOM) is the encrypted cache we're looking for. The crates must be
manually inspected, requiring you to drop your weapon for a few moments,
but that shouldn't be a problem. There's no hostiles, just a bunch of
crates... right?
This one has very few shenanigans or threats in it. It's meant to be an
introductory experience to interfacing with things as a psyker, and
getting the rhythm down for moving between visual pulses.
_**Infected Domain:** Medium cost, high reward._
Enter another abandoned virtual domain. This one was sealed off from the
digital world after the cyber-police failed to contain a virus that
zombified its inhabitants, leaving it to grow unstable and full of
holes. Fortunately, you're provided with the single best tool for arming
yourself against zombies in any video game, ever -- Your very own
Mystery Box. Get armed with (basically) whatever gun you want, and go
put those wacky psyker abilities to use against those zombies.
This one is a lot meaner. Many chasms, landmines, and zombies. Walk
slowly, stay with your fellow bitrunners, and if it's too hard, there's
no shame in going back and rolling for a better gun!
The domains themselves are VERY simple, since there's little need for
decor or particularly complex layouts. The idea is that you should be
able to see everything you need to see in a given room/area with a
single vision pulse. Here's what one of the maps looks like:
Err, uh, I mean... This is what the maps look like:
<details>
<summary>SPOILERS BEWARE</summary>
<br>
(You wanna find out if there's something cool under those red lines? Go
there yourself!)
</details>
These two psyker maps come with their own psyker safehouse too -- The
Bathroom. It's gross, the medical supplies are kind of just sitting
there on the floor... It looks a little bit better when you're blind, I
guess.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I like psykers a lot more than I'm willing to admit. Unfortunately, the
jankiness of echolocation provides such a disadvantage at times, that
any "real" conflict is usually over before the psyker is even aware
they're taking damage.
Fortunately, the controlled environments that bitrunning maps are
perfect for psykers. They give the opportunity to craft an experience
around the player being blind, rather than forcing them to play blind
through a seeing mans world.
These two domains should present players with a unique challenge that is
designed around playing as a psyker, with slightly higher-than-usual
rewards for their trouble. More importantly -- They're fun!
## Changelog
🆑 Rhials
add: Two new psyker-oriented virtual domains -- Crate Chaos and Infected
Domain.
add: Map helper for cyber-police corpse spawn.
add: Map helper for swapping the encrypted crate in an area with a
random crate from that same area.

## About The Pull Request
The next round of small changes to how bitrunning works - mostly from
feedback, bug reports etc.
- The loot crate delivery spot is now a buildable machine (the
byteforge), making it replaceable in the event of a disaster
- Same for netpods and quantum consoles. These boards are now
researchable and buildable.
- New icons for the byteforge and the health monitor
- Some bug fixes around despawning avatars
- Reimplements one of the bitrunning unit tests

## Why It's Good For The Game
Bitrunning bug fixes and personal requests
Fixes#78571
Fixes an issue reported in discord - players stuck as gondola spawn
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Added extra checks to bitrunning domain cleanup so avatars are
deleted properly.
add: Quantum servers now look for a new machine called a byteforge to
spawn loot on- no longer on an invisible landmark. This should make the
rooms rebuildable after disasters.
add: *Most* bitrunning machinery is now researchable and buildable via
circuits in the engineering protolathe.

## About The Pull Request
small tweaks for bitrunning

megafauna health more closely to the real thing
- added a check for bit avatars to skip dynamic midround checks
- more info for netpods mostly
