ArcMining Pr Beta: Version 1.2 (#78524)
This one's not like the last one, so much so that I'm not even going to
outsource the PR description to a robot this time!
Basically, **You should read the PR body before assuming that everything
is the same as last time. It's not.**

This pull request serves as a large rework of minerals produced by
mining, and by extension mining itself. I'll try and list each change
and it's associated nuance here.
The biggest addition to the game with ArcMining is **Ore Vents**. Ore
vents spawn as a ruin on the map, placing a randomized ore vent onto map
generation. Ore vents spawn in 3 different sizes, **Small, Medium, and
Large**. These vents will pick from a pool of materials they can
generate, and will hang out across the map. A player can use a mining
scanner to discover an ore vent, granting a small quantity of **mining
points** to begin with. Once scanned, ore vents will show what minerals
that ore vent will generate after they're fully tapped.
Scanning the vent again will trigger the extraction process. A small
drone will fly down, called the NODE drone, and buckle onto the vent.
Your job during wave defense is to protect the drone and to defeat waves
of randomly spawning mobs (dependent on if you're on lavaland or on
icebox). The quantity, duration, and time between waves is scaled to the
size of the vent you're protecting. Starting by scanning and protecting
lower tier vents earlier in the shift is a safer bet than doing a large
vent in the first few minutes. The drone has 500 health, and can take a
good few hits, but leaving it alone will cause it to meet an unfortunate
end quite quickly.
Cooperation can be your best asset, as mining with allies can greatly
help with wave defense, and mineral points are granted to anyone who
helps with defending the ore vent equally (So 500 * size tier,
regardless of how much help you receive). Once complete, the ore vent
will have a mining machine constructed on top of it, and will start to
dredge up **Boulders** from the earth automatically. More on boulders
later.
Ore vents can be located based on your mining scanner, and will provide
an appropriate audio cue based on if the ore vent has been discovered or
not, and once processed will no longer alert you to it's presence.
**Each station comes with a free vent that produces exclusively iron and
glass, free of charge.** This is to help with shifts where the station
may not have shaft miners to produce minerals, and to provide the
station with a baseline amount of minerals where none may exist
otherwise.
Mineral generation has been completely reworked. Previously, Mineral
Generation had a flat 13% spawn rate in-game. Once minerals spawned,
they would also have a chance to propagate their minerals to nearby
tiles, resulting in a rather massive pool of minerals that could spawn
throughout lavaland on the whole.
This tweaks that, by making minerals in walls spawn based on their
proximity to ore vents on maps that use cave generation. Both the
probability, and quantity of ores spawning in walls is scaled based on
distance, with ore vents looking like large caches of ores found in
walls. This makes following ores found in walls and checking their
quantity of minerals spawned a good indicator of how close you are to a
nearby vent in-round.
This means you can collect some points form both discovering ore vents
first, as well as collecting their surrounding ores, turn those in for
mining points, and then trading them in for gear upgrades to more
effectively take on ore vents. As a result of tweaking the balance of
this, the total amount of ores spawned in walls overall has been
decreased. However, by making more of the process time based, we still
result in a mostly balanced finished product.
On station, there are now three new machines. These are the BRM, the
Refinery, and the Smelter.
- The BRM acts as a teleporter. Instead of needing to carry boulders
back to the station, you can activate the BRM, and it will automatically
pick boulders to teleport back to itself. You can use this to teleport
boulders dredged up from lavaland onto the station for processing. **The
BRM will only lock on to boulders that are resting on an ore vent.**
Moving boulders back by hand will mean you'll have to haul it back by
hand.
- The refinery processes the non-metallic materials out of boulders.
This process sends the materials straight to the ORM, and collects
mining points from the ores smelted in the machine. Swiping with an ID
card lets you withdraw those points for your own personal account, but
remember that these points are for your whole team to share from. The
**Mining points obtained from this process is only 75% of the amount an
equivalent amount of ores would provide.**
- The smelter works nearly identically, however the smelter produces
metallic materials out of boulders instead.
- Once a boulder has had all of it's materials extracted, it's broken
down and deleted from the line. Otherwise, the boulder is spat out for
the next machine to process it (either the refinery or smelter).
- Once there's no minerals left in a boulder of any type, the refinery
or smelter will break the boulder down.
- Boulders **do not stack onto tiles with each other**, so they'll block
each other when pulled or when moving on a conveyor belt.
Boulders can also be processed by hand. Using a mining tool on a boulder
with right click will allow you to break down a boulder into it's
composite ores, but limits you to a maximum of 10 ore per boulder, where
the full amount can be extracted using the proper processing machines.
Also, processing by hand does deal small amounts of stamina damage over
time, do breaking a full large boulder can be particularly taxing.
Additional Boulder Processing Machines can be built, with the BRM board
being obtained from the Protolathe, while the Smelter and Refinery
boards being obtainable from the Autolathe instead. A _boulder
processing beacon_ can also be obtained from the mining points vendor as
a reward to assist with boulder processing. Boulder processing beacons
can be used to spawn in a new BRM, refinery, and smelter on the tile the
user is standing on, however **you'll still need to link them to the
ORM**!
All three machines can be upgraded with Stock Parts, allowing for **more
boulders to be processed at a time**. It does not, however, increase the
amount of minerals received from boulders, or points earned.
Mining borgs have been given some minor adjustments to compensate for
the changes to mining. Their mineral scanner, which now has an active
component to gameplay, is now a module as opposed to built into the mob.
This module allows for the same ability to discover and start waves of
monsters to fight.
Mining modules will find that their PKA now has a total of 90% mod
capacity as compared to the 80% they had before, to allow for more
robust defense of ore vents.
In addition, all borgs and AIs can interact with the BRM for boulder
collection.
Mining Mechs have had their utility tweaked as a result of these changes
as well. Mineral scanners to be used on mining mechs now have a larger
radius by comparison to their handheld cousins. Similarly, it now has an
active scanning button, which will actively discovery nearby ore vents.
To begin wave defense, you will need to hop out and scan a second time
however, so that you can properly accept the risks of drawing a horde of
bloodthirsty wildlife towards you and your companions.
Mechs can also manually process boulders, similar to mining tools using
their drill.
Golems, being more gentle and less aggressive than humans, while being
made out of LITERAL ROCKS, have a greater need to secure access to ores
and minerals to eat. As such, they have adapted to be able to do two new
things:
- Golems may now right click ore vents to be able to manually haul a
boulder out of the vent. This costs a hefty amount of stamina, but it
allows for golems to avoid combat during regular gameplay.
- Golems may now left click a boulder with an open hand in order to
manually process a boulder like a pickaxe. While not faster, it is
consistent and prevents golems from starving if they have access to a
vent, but no ores, somehow.
The labor camp, being a camp for rehabilitation and ~~excessive manual
labor~~ has been tweaked. Boulders now replace the random minerals
located on their island, and to acquire their prizes inside, much be
excavated and then broken out of the rock. Now YOU TOO can excavate
minerals and become a true mineral hero by working your way to freedom.
As a result of fewer mining points being available across the map due to
the new ore spawning mechanics, and the shift in how and when ores will
be coming in, almost every progress based mining point cost has been
reduced by around 10-20%. Many numbers are still subject to change at
present, but the idea is that core progress unlocks should be made a bit
more available earlier in the round before players can start to solo or
duo larger or more difficult ore vents, after which they'll be rolling
in ores.
Every once in awhile, an unusual boulder will get hauled up from the
mineral rich depths of lavaland. These **Artifact boulders** can
occasionally produce rare items, but for now they've mostly just been
pulling up **Strange objects** for science. Nanotrasen Natural Sciences
department will reward you extra points to be collected by boulder
processing machines for successfully extracting one. In the future, this
opens up a passive reward space that mining can reward to the station,
like providing cytology DNA samples, ancient seeds, or other artifacts.
- Boulders can be stored in all varieties of ore boxes (ground, mech)
should you choose, however as mentioned it's best to leave them where
they spawn and teleport them to the station for convenience.
- Maps that are not subject to cave generation will find that they are
largely untouched in terms of mineral balance.
- Future or existing ruins can now be tweaked to have a mineral balance
cost, as the ore vent ruin does. This will allow us to spawn in more
interesting ruins for pre-made combat challenges.
- There are unique ore vents that spawn across the map, that will summon
a boss mob relevant to that map. If the boss mob is defeated, that vent
will spawn large boulders pulling from every possible ore type that can
spawn. Not for the faint of heart!
- Similarly, the number of ore vents and mineral budget is now
adjustable in the cave generation procs, so maps may spawn with more or
less ore vents as desired for balance.
- Artifact boulders opens up a LOT of room for possible future content
like archaeology, xenoarch, artisci, and other design spaces!
- Megafauna STILL SPAWN ON THE MAP. They just happen to spawn in
addition to boss ore vents.
- **I'll add more to this as I get asked questions and remember things,
this is a huge PR and I'm confident I've missed at least something**
I outlined a lot of this in #78040, so I'll try and keep this relatively
snappy this time, while noting that I've made some concessions to make
the whole system a lot more playable while not trying to break out
design decisions that are at the end of the day, better for the game and
the overall resource balance in round.
Minerals are a very poorly balanced system, and have been since their
inception many years ago. We heavily rely on mineral balance in round,
and yet we've really only balanced it by introducing so much supply that
there's no equivalent exchange for materials that doesn't just heavily
flood the exchanged material. For example, items printed from materials
that are otherwise considered "rare" on master exist in such quantities
and they'll never practically run out in our allotted 90 minute time
slot design. This PR adjusts how ores spawn to a point where we can
minimize the amount of ores that need to exist on the map for mining to
be able to progress, while still providing enough resources for the
station that it covers the needs of the station adequately.
Miners will need to be more strategic about what resources they've
collected, and be able to make decisions about which vents are worth the
risk of attempting to fight, how to prepare for a wave defense, and when
to head back up for upgrades, while finally giving them at least some
kind of incentive to work together and use different equipment.
Resonators make cleaning up the caves around vent easy, sandbags set up
easy defenses for your vent, mechs can serve as a wider range radar
while mining, all while still providing a new gameplay loop to mining.
By limiting the amount of ores that can enter the round from the
massive, massive amounts that were coming into the round beforehand (see
gameplay to the processing of minerals. I have some plans for that,
however this PR already got bloated really REALLY badly due to scope
creep and the number of intersecting systems that rammed into each other
to make this PR possible. So that'll be next. Plus, as I've mentioned,
we open up places for ore processing to find fossils, relics, and other
things that can implemented down the line.
Overall, I don't expect this PR to save or kill ore balance, but we gain
a LOT more control over it through the use of our mining defines
attached to this PR, and at the end of the day, that's a great place to
start off of.
🆑
add: Added ore vents. Scanning them with mining scanners shows what
minerals they contain. Scan again to fight off a horde of beasts as your
drone assistant excavates the vent, so the ore vent will produce mineral
boulders!
bal: Ores that spawn in walls now spawn based on their proximity to ore
vents, with their chance to spawn and their minerals contained scaling
from low to high.
add: Added the BRM, Refinery, and Smelter. These pieces of equipment are
used to process ore boulders into minerals for the station. Stock Part
upgrades allow more boulders to be processed at one time. They collect
mining points as well, to be redeemed with an ID card swipe.
add: Boulders are teleported to the station via the BRM if left
untouched. Boulders can also be cracked open for a reduced amount of ore
using pickaxes or golems hands.
add: All stations come equipt with a pre-excavated ore vent, which
produces a basic supply of iron and glass only. Scan other vents for
your critical resources!
add: Look there's a shit ton of changes on mining, for more detail check
out the Pull Request: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78524.
sound: New sounds and noises for your high octane factorio-like
gameplay!
image: All new boulder sprites for the new minerals and rocks added to
the mining gameplay loop, as well as mining machines!
image: Overlays appear over vents when scanned to let you know their
contents at a glance when actively scanned with any mining scanners.

* Fixes being able to fish up qdeleted spawners (#80646)
## About The Pull Request
Fixes https://github.com/NovaSector/NovaSector/issues/152
This is mostly a downstream issue, I think, but should a spawner ever
get added to the fish tables here this bug will be present.
Basically spawners, when created, do their item spawning behavior on the
src loc and then immediately qdel themselves.
If you try to forceMove() the spawners out of nullspace, like what was
happening with fishing, you'd end up with an unmovable broken item that
cannot be easily admin deleted.
This PR also adds a stack_trace when you forceMove() a qdeleted spawner,
because this is not the first time I've seen this issue come up. It
doesn't stop it from happening, though, because it's easier to visually
see the bug that way. This just provides some useful feedback as to why
the bug is happening should you check the debug logs.

* The maintenance crate spawning crate is now a spawner (#80083)
## About The Pull Request
`/obj/structure/closet/crate/maint` was a type of crate that spawned a
completely different crate, and then deleted itself. I have decided to
swap this out for an actual spawning effect.
I have also did some subtypery to remove some duplicate code that
handled randomly opening the spawned closet/crate (through I am not that
satisfied with
`/obj/effect/spawner/random/structure/closet_empty/crate/with_loot` as a
sensible typepath name, I would like to ask for suggestions). I also
removed a loot define, because it was no longer needed as its contents
were used on a single page.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Things that act like spawners should be spawners.
Maybe this fixes the CI issue on northstar where a mousetrap box gets
deleted before it initializes during create and destroy? It was placed
above a spawner that spawned one of these self deleting crates. I am
unsure, I could not replicate this issue during testing.

* Festival Sect Expansion: New Tunes, New Rites, Cogitandi Fidis (#80032)
## About The Pull Request
### Cogitandi Fidis
Creates a holy violin that gives an analysis of songs played on it. This
lets you check how long the song is for final effects, to make sure they
trigger without the hassle of trying a rite with a song until you get
one that works. 20 Favor, looks neat too!
### Portable Song Tuning
Rite to empower an instrument with the ability to invoke specifically
song tuning rites, 5 charges before you need to go back to a proper
altar. Helps a chaplain stay on the move, since songs are interruptable
and sometimes an altar can be incredibly far. 10 Favor for 5 charges.
### Illuminating Solo
New free invocation that lets you light up the way with your music! The
finishing effect applies a weaker glow to all listeners for a minute.
### Other Misc Changes
The threshold for getting a final effect on a song is now lower, 220 ->
170. As a reminder, this threshold is lines * tempo. I think the
threshold was simply too high
## Why It's Good For The Game
Changes were made from
https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=35381 statistics and
feedback about sects. I think, overall, Festival Sect is in a very good
place and doesn't need a whole lot but a few rites that help with a
quality of life would really cut down on the amount of time a chappy is
spending doing nothing but running allllll the way back to the chapel to
load up some new songs

* Adds `UPSIDE_DOWN` movetype for negative gravity / makes Atrocinator affected by less things (#79785)
## About The Pull Request
Fixes#79764
I was going to tackle this issue by slamming `TRAIT_NO_SLIP_ALL` on
Atrocinator users and calling it a day, but like, that didn't feel
proper.
So I thought hey, we could just give them the flying movetype, even
though they technically aren't flying it means they're unaffected by
things that flying would make you unaffected by.
Nope, this means the mob technically "negates gravity", so no falling
and no feetsteps.
Let's try floating - this give us feetsteps but no falling upwards.
So instead of going back to square one, with `TRAIT_NO_SLIP_ALL`, I
decided to go for the more complex route of just adding a movetype.
Hence, move type `UPSIDE_DOWN`. This covers situations where a mob would
be "floating" above the ground, but still walking. ...Negative gravity.
This means overall the Atrociator acts more as you'd expect - you don't
slip on ice, you don't trigger bear traps or mouse traps, you can walk
over railings, unaffected by conveyor belts, etc.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes the Atrocinator a lot more consistent with how you'd expect for it
to work.
Admittedly it is a bit niche use of movetypes, but it can possibly be
expanded to more things in the future, who knows? I applied it to mobs
on meat spikes (even though they don't move), just for proof of concept.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
fix: Atrocinating mobs will now behave more as you'd expect. Meaning
they don't slip on wet patches, can't trigger bear traps / landmines /
mouse traps, ignore conveyors, and can walk over tables and railings.

ground), glass tables
fix: Floating mobs won't squish stuff like roaches anymore
fix: Fixes bear traps triggering on floating / flying mobs

* [NO GBP]Fixes tesla zaps. (#79398)
## About The Pull Request
Closes#79297Closes#79312
Due to the new cutoff parameter being added to tesla_zap() (from
#78310), and most callers used positional arguments instead of keywords,
the zap flags was getting fed the shocked_targets list and maybe other
junk. This caused a bunch of unusual phenomena. This is fixed by using
keyword arguments.
Tesla zaps that use the grid were significantly weaker in terms of
damage than they're supposed to be. This was a byproduct of trying to
convert everything to joules and removing unnecessary power multipliers.
This is fixed by reverting the damage scaling and zap power of zap
sources that aren't based on grid. Technically this will cause the zaps
from other sources to have less power, but these tend to not be able to
put power on grid, so this wouldn't have any change other than what a
grounding rod displays. Doesn't really matter.
Logs machine explosions from zap_act. Not the most helpful log (would
take a lot of effort to add an extra parameter to pass the source), but
better than nothing.
Probably other stuff I did, lol.
## Why It's Good For The Game

- `COMSIG_ATOM_WASHED`: not only was it misleading (only sent to items),
but it was pointless because `COMSIG_COMPONENT_CLEAN_ACT` is the same
signal.
- Improves microwave attackby code, splitting tool stuff into tool-procs
- Allows spray cleaner to work on dense objects such as windows
- Clicking on a dense object or mob adjacent to you with spray cleaner
will spawn the puff cloud on the target, rather than on your own
position.
- This will skip the moveloop and just clean everything on the target
turf alone.
- This means you can spray down a bloody window with a spray bottle, as
janitor gods intended.
- It also means you can fill the spray with other stuff to spray onto
dense objects directly, which might be worth noting. Especially for
stuff like Napalm.

Opens up the sandbox to allow more objects to clean microwaves + better
code.

* Spider Infestation Balance Rebalance Expansion Part 2 (#78705)
## About The Pull Request
Balances
1. Spiders now slow down equivalent to their health
2. Tarantulas can no longer put web passages or solid webs and destroy
walls outside of charge attack
3. Young spiders now cant pull objects do to being too weak and become
slower outside of webs as they should be
4. Makes pneumatic airlock seal unable to be destroyed by spiders
5. All Broodmother eggs now have a cooldown timer
Normal Eggs: 20 seconds
Abnormal Eggs: 180 Seconds
Enriched Eggs: 60 seconds
Expansions
1. Added a new abnormal egg category
2. Broodmothers can now lay abnormal eggs
3. 2 new spiders added
6. A new web type: Reflective silk screen
# Breacher
- Low damaging with High wound bonuses meant to debilitate enemies to
take ground for the nest
- Has the ability to breach areas by destroying walls with menson vision
to map out strategic breachings
- Immune to harsh environments with the ability to lay solid webs to
protect the nest environment
- Can send in warnings for the entire nest to hear
Will Help the nest get out of being closed off by small construction
attempts and fix some space breaches plus some back up by making enemies
slower and scarring them off with some bloodloss
# Tank
- Extremely low damaging build to absorb damage to hold ground for the
nest
- With the ability to lay down silk screen reflectors to protect the
nest from missile attacks
- Can heal itself at a slow rate
Will provide great support to keep the nest at bay from range attacks at
some extent and act as a damage absorber in dier situations
# Abnormal Eggs
- They can only be made once every 180 Seconds
- Hold the two new spider types
## Why It's Good For The Game
New spiders to contribute to the general spider antag team dynamic,
balances for spiders are always good making them funner to play against
and bringing up challenges on their gameplay making them act less like
murdering simple mobs and more like an actual nest trying to survive in
the station.
How?
1. **Cooldown egg laying:** broodmothers now have to be more strategic
on where they place their eggs with an average of 3 eggs per minute per
broodmother
2. **Spider slowdown on damage:** Spiders now will become slower the
longer they stay out of the nest in battle making them have to retreat
back to the nest shortening their time out murdering giving incentives
to expand the nest
3. **Spider More Brute Damage:** Gives a reason to use melee against
spiders although more dangerous it gives more reward due to the higher
damage outputs since spiders are pretty much big bugs with delicate
bodies no bones no good structural consistency equal more damage to
blunt attacks
4. **Tarantula Nerfs:** Tarantulas shouldnt be able to destroy this many
walls at this rate and be able to lay so many defensive webs I don't
know why they had this abilities but their strong enough as is
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added Abnormal Eggs
add: Added Two new spiders
del: Some Tarantula abilities
balance: Spiders speed are now connected to health

* Adds pathmaps, refactors pathfinding a bit (#78684)
## About The Pull Request
Implements /datum/pathfind/sssp, which generates /datum/path_map
/datum/path_maps allow us to very efficently generate paths to any turf
they contain from their central point.
We're effectively running the single source shortest paths algorithm.
We expand from the center turf, adding turfs as they're found, and then
processing them in order of addition.
As we go, we remember what turf "found" us first. Reversing this chain
gives us the shortest possible path from the center turf to any turf in
its range (or the inverse).
This isn't all that useful on its own, outside of a few niche cases
(Like if we wanted to get the farthest reachable turf from the center)
but if we could reuse the map more then once, we'd be able to swarm
to/from a point very easily.
Reuse is a bit troublesome, reqiures a timeout system and a way to
compare different movables trying to get paths.
I've implemented it tho. I've refactored CanAStarPass to take a datum,
/datum/can_pass_info. This is built from a movable and a list of access,
and copies all the properties that would impact pathfinding over onto
itself.
There is one case where we don't do this, pathing over openspace
requires checking if we'd fall through the openspace, and the proc for
that takes an atom.
So instead we use the weakref to the owner that we hold onto, and hold
copies of all the values that would impact the check on the datum.
When someone requests a swarmed path their pass info is compared with
the pass info of all other path_maps centered on their target turf. If
it matches and their requested timeout isn't too short, we just reuse
the map.
Timeout is a tricky thing because the longer a map exists the more out
of date it gets.
I've added a few age defines that let you modulate your level of risk
here. We default to only allowing maps that are currently
being generated, or finished generating in our tick.
Hopefully this prevents falling into trouble, but consumers will need to
allow "failed" movements.
As a part of this datumized pass info, I've refactored pathfinding to
use access lists, rather then id cards directly. This also avoids some
dumbass harddel oppertunities, and prevents an idcard from changing mid
path.
Did a few things to the zPass procs, they took args that they did NOT
need, and I thought it'd be better to yeet em.
If you'd all like I could undo the caching/can_pass_info stuff if you'd
all like. I think it's useful generally because it avoids stuff changing
mid pathfind attempt, but if it's too clunky I could nuke it.
Oh also I added optional args to jps that constricts how it handles
diagonals. I've used this to fix bot paths.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Much of this is redundant currently. I'm adding it because it could have
saved hugglebippers, and because I get the feeling it'll be useful for
"grouping" mobs like bees and such.
We're doing more basic mob work currently and I want to provide extra
tools for that work.

* Flesh Spiders Regenerate + QoL (#78704)
## About The Pull Request
Replaces the Healing Touch component on Changeling-spawned Flesh Spiders
with the Regenerator component, as the comment helpfully suggests.
Flesh Spiders can no longer touch themselves to heal, instead they
automatically begin regenerating their health if they go four seconds
without taking damage. It takes 6 seconds to fully regenerate, so 10
seconds to fully heal from the edge of death (less if you're not that
injured).
Also I changed the sprite for flesh spider eggs to a different one we
already had rather than regular spider eggs tinted red, just because I
felt like it.
Would be cool to give the spiders their own sprite some time, but that's
for another PR.
_Additionally_ the flavour text for flesh spiders was kind of messed up
by being shoved into the objectives box and claiming that it was a
directive from a spider queen you don't have, so I gave them their own
slightly different antag datum to compensate.
It also actually mentions how you heal yourself, which previously was
down to trial and error or codediving.
In the course of doing this I decided to just... move flesh spiders to
their own type path. It _sort of_ made sense for them to be part of the
giant spider typepath, but they keep being modified by changes targetted
at "balancing the Giant Spiders antagonist" which this mob isn't related
to and doesn't have any reason to follow. The fact that a mob has
similar stats to another one isn't automatically a reason to share a
typepath, and now that I have looked a little at this mob I'm sort of
interested in branching it further away from "it's a spider mob but
spawned a different way" in the future.
Finally, this spider egg cluster and the midwife one would prompt ghosts
with a radial menu with a single option on it... that's a bit pointless,
so we'll bypass that menu if there is only one possible outcome.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Currently Flesh Spiders heal by clicking on themselves and standing
still for two seconds, restoring 50% of their HP. This means they can
fully regenerate over 4 seconds unless you stun them, and with 90 HP
you're not _that_ likely to kill one during the channel time.
This just feels like an odd way for the creature to operate,
regenerating instead gives it a hit-and-run strategy and adds more use
to their webs (maybe we should give them meatier or bloody webs at some
point? Might be cool).
Also clicking yourself to heal is just unintuitive and I suspect several
players just didn't realise they could do it in the first place.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Flesh Spiders heal automatically over time if they go a short
time without taking damage, instead of healing large chunks by clicking
themselves and waiting two seconds.
qol: Spider egg clusters which only hatch into one kind of spider don't
ask you to select that one type from a radial menu with one option on
it.
qol: As a Flesh Spider, the game now tells you how you can heal
yourself.

* Adds a passive scan to the Active Sonar module (#78734)
## About The Pull Request
Adds a passive, radial scan to the Active Sonar module.
This will scan a 1/8th slice around the player for any creatures, and
place a much smaller marker over them for the player to see.
These small markers do not update their location when the scanned
creature moves, unlike the normal markers.
Activating the module initiates the normal full scan, which scans the
entire radius at once rather than just a slice. Doing so will put _both_
scans in cooldown.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Honestly I still felt the Active Sonar was a little weak even after I
tried to buff it a little.
I wanted to initially find a way to make the large scan effects smoothly
move with whoever you're following, but since I couldn't manage to
figure that out instead I went with a recommendation from ninjanomnom to
make a radial scan.
I think this is far more interesting either way

* [NO GBP]Zap strength is now measured in joules. NT CIMs will now display the power transmission from the zaps, accounting for every factor. (#78310)
## About The Pull Request
Zap strength is now measured in joules. Scales everything to account for
this.
NT CIMS will now display the zap power transmission in watts, instead of
a modifier. This will allow you to actually see how much power the
supermatter is generating accurately, without knowledge of hidden
multipliers. NT CIMs will also show the internal energy gain from heat
in eV/K/s, so you can easily figure out how internal energy gain works,
and how much energy gain it actually gives. The internal energy
measurement will also adjust its prefix. Internal energy is now a
measure of internal energy, rather than internal energy density,
removing the "/cm^3".
Here is what it looked like:
This image was created on an earlier commit where the numbers were wrong
due to a hidden multiplier that got removed later, so keep that in mind.
Also fixes inactive supermatters unnecessarily scaling delta time. The
high energy (>5GeV) additional zaps now also scale with delta time.
The code in this PR is absolute garbage trash and there are some major
issues, so I'm drafting this for now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes it more clear what the factors add, and also how much power the SM
is releasing. Zap strength being measured in joules will simplify a lot
of things, making power balance more clear rather than guessimating.
Adjusting the prefix for internal energy is just the natural thing to
do. The per cubic centimeter part of internal energy would imply it is
energy density, however it is functionally not. It would probably
confuse people thinking the volume of the turf or the size of the
supermatter actually matters for what the internal energy does, when it
does not (except for gas absorption I guess, which changes heating/mol
requirements, but nothing else), so I am removing that part.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: NT CIMs shows how much power the supermatter is releasing.
qol: NT CIMs internal energy will adjust its prefix.
qol: Energy displays (such as multitooling grid) will use the full range
of SI prefixes available, up to the peta prefix if you somehow managed
to reach that.
del: Removes the per cubic centimeter part of internal energy.
fix: Fix unnecessary delta time scaling on inactive supermatters.
fix: Fix high energy zaps not scaling with delta time.
fix: Fixes grounding rods lying about potential power you can generate.

* adds crushed can, jelly doughnut, and shipping container random spawners (#78444)
## About The Pull Request
i got bored so i made some new spawners, mainly for mappers but maybe an
admin will use them too. pics here:
firstly, this adds crushed can spawners, for if you want a random
crushed can sprite in your map, and don't really care which it is.
if you _do_ care, however - you can set the var/random_icon field on one
of these to 0, in your copy of strongdmm. then just change the icon
state to whatever specific can design you'd like it to be (ie:
"wellcheers")
here you can see a few of them in action
secondly, this adds doughnut, jelly doughnut, and slime jelly doughnut
spawners - pictured below
these use a weighted list based on flavor - more down to earth flavors
are more common, while more interesting and unique flavors like bungo
and blumpkin are a bit rarer.
thirdly, this adds a shipping container spawner. this one uses a
weighted list so the super obvious syndi corps are rare, less obvious
ones are less rare, and regular corporate ones are common. here you can
see a few.

The brimdemon was basically already perfect (well, it has a novel means
of attacking) so I didn't get too fancy with this one, it's _largely_

Following this change it's a little slower to back off, but better at
lining up with people in order to blast them. Additionally, its beam is
now a mob ability so you can give it to other mobs if you so desire.

look after their plants. it can water plants (if it finds a bucket),
remove weeds and remove dead plants. they will also use their solarbeam
ability to provide small healing to damaged plants. it will try to
refill its bucket with water if there is a water source near by. it will
also follow the orders of whoever harvested it.

* Nuclear Operative Jump Jets (#78088)
## About The Pull Request
This PR gives operative MODsuits access to "jump jets".
This is an activated module (starts pinned) with a 30 second cooldown
which removes your personal gravity for 5 seconds and (if possible)
pushes you upwards by one z level. In combination with your regular
jetpack this allows you to fly over gaps, and (most importantly) out of
pits such as you may inadvertently find yourself wandering into on
Icebox.
I have a few other changes I want to make specifically targetted at the
experience of Icebox station destruction causing people to fall several
z levels and get trapped, but this is the first one.
You have to stand still for 1 second to activate the jump jet. This is
because jetpack movement without gravity is actually usually faster than
an operative will walk, and I don't want them to just toggle it as a
sprint button while running around. If people find other tactical uses
for this though I think that's cool.
This module currently isn't available to crew on the tech web, although
maybe someone could add it later if they wanted to. It's not quite so
useful if you don't _also_ have a jetpack though.
I bumped the available complexity of the suits I attached it to up by
the complexity cost of this module so it's not taking up previously
available space.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's funny when the whole ops team falls in a hole after an explosion
they caused and gets stuck in there fighting Snow Legions but they
should probably have some method for dealing with that.
It also lets them pop back up from the tram hole, a risky proposition
because any flying mob hit by the tram dies almost instantly.
