* basic cats and mini kitchen helpers (#79800)
## About The Pull Request
this pr transforms cats into basic pets! cats now have some new
behavior. they can carry fish and hunted mice in their mouths to deliver
it to kittens, and kittens will eat them.
if a kitten sees you holding food, it will point at you and meow loudly
until u give it the food.
becareful when putting male cats near each other, there is a small
chance they get into a heated argument and meow loudly at each other
until one of them flees.
also added a new small cat house for cats. cats will use these homes if
u build one near them (using 5 wood planks)
Chefs can craft the cake cat and breadcat. these are useful cats because
they can help the chef around in the kitchen. they will turn stoves and
grills off when food is ready, so they dont burn. and the cake cat will
help the chef decorate his donuts
## Why It's Good For The Game
refactors cats into basic mobs and gives them a deeper ai

* Basic Constructs: Wraith (#79235)
## About The Pull Request
Converts wraith constructs to basic mobs. The last of the "mainline"
constructs, though there's still one to go after this.
Wraiths are pretty much the same as they've always been - speedy
constructs that pack a bit of a punch, built around doing hit-and-run
tactics with their ability to ethereal jaunt. Notably, I've converted
their ability to recharge their jaunts with attacks into a new
component, `recharging_attacks`. This can be placed on any basic mob to
let them recharge a cooldown action by landing hits, which could
possibly be useful in the future.
NPC wraiths are pretty straightforward, with a twist - they will always
chase down and beat to death the lowest-hp mob they can see. Happening
upon one of these while wounded will end very badly! While I originally
wanted them to be more flighty and use hit-and-run tactics, I couldn't
figure out a way to do this that didn't look kind of silly and make them
less effective overall.
In addition to the wraiths, I've done some much-needed cleanup to basic
constructs as a whole, improving some things and covering some things I
missed along the way.
- Ectoplasm drop types from constructs is now properly based on their
theme. I _believe_ I've done this in a way that will pass unit tests
this time, but we'll see if my local tests were being honest with me.
- Player-controlled constructs now attack faster. I didn't realize that
being basic mobs capped them to attacking once every 2 seconds, which is
a gigantic nerf over the simple animal version. I cut this to just 1
second, which should be much closer to how it originally was.
- Artificers actually seek out and heal the most damaged ally they can
find, instead of the least damaged. Turns out the sort was doing the
exact opposite order from what I thought, which became much more obvious
when using the same targeting behavior on wraiths.
- I put the PR number in the juggernaut update script, which I somehow
missed on that one.
- Removed the extraneous "noncult" construct subtypes that didn't do
anything. The Artificer one, which does something, is still around.
## Why It's Good For The Game
For the same reasons as the previous three. 5 more simple animals gone,
and only one construct to go until I can nuke simple constructs from the
codebase entirely. Other than that, the new component could possibly
come in handy in future designs, and the NPC behavior should hopefully
be a little scary - even if just a little.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Wraith constructs have been converted to the basic mob
framework. NPC wraiths are now extra cruel and will attack the
lowest-health mob they can see at any given time. Make sure this isn't
you! Please report any bugs.

slowly than intended.

* Converts traders to basic mobs (#79187)
## About The Pull Request
This PR converts the two trader mobs into basic mobs, these being the
basic debug trader that buys ectoplasm and sells ghost burgers, and Mr
Bones, who buys empty milk cartons and bones, and sells bone relate
paraphernalia.
Traders now use dynamic appearance generation. The old sprites still
exist as hallucinations, and as shop signs.
Trader UI is now summoned via `COMSIG_ATOM_ATTACK_HAND`, which properly
cancels the attack chain, so there is no longer need to put it on
Interact.
I kept most of the original behaviour, but moved them off into a
component. I have also cached all the images generated for the radials,
I hope I have not overengineered it. I have also created a new datum,
which stores the trader's wares, needs, and speech patterns.
Admins can put the component along with the trader data on any living
mobs with an AI controller, turning them into traders. Keep in mind that
most AI has random idle movement, meaning they have a chance to walk
off, closing your trader radial.
The trader AI consists of the following, first, when a trader sees
someone, they will deploy their shop, if one does not already exists.
The shop consists of a chair, and a holographic sign. If you attack
them, they will chase you with their weapons, and then return to their
chair when victorious. If the chair is somehow destroyed, they will
create a new shop when they see a new potential customer.
Mr Bones uses a variant of the AI, where they will run at you, and
deploy their shop when they reach you. I call this the jumpscare
variant. Below you can see me getting actually jumpscared because Mr
Bones has stepped on a yelling frog when I opened the maintenance door.
I have also made an element that toggles an ai controlled combat mode
when it gains a target, and when it loses it. I am using it to make
Traders unable to trade while they are trying to kill a robber. To aid
this, I a have made
`/datum/ai_controller/proc/sig_remove_from_blackboard` send the
`COMSIG_AI_BLACKBOARD_KEY_CLEARED` signal, in case the trader kills a
mob that deletes itself on death. This means I could remove a signup
`/datum/component/appearance_on_aggro` was doing towards Qdeleting.
Below you can see Mr Bones shooting me with candy corn.
Traders actually only shoot you until you are conscious, so I survived
here in crit. Most mobs don't have crit state, so they just die, so I am
sticking by this voice line.
Thank you @ CoiledLamb for help with the sale sign!
## Why It's Good For The Game
Two more mobs off the list. The AI and Componentized behaviours allows
us to set up new kind of traders.

* Nanotrasen basic mobs. (#78917)
## About The Pull Request
First and foremost, converts all Nanotrasen simplemobs into basic mobs.
To avoid messy and redundant code, or god forbid, making Nanotrasen mobs
a subtype of Syndicate ones, I've made Syndicate, Russian, and
Nanotrasen mobs all share a unified "Trooper" parent. This should have
no effect on their behaviors, but makes things much easier to extend
further in the future.
While most of this PR is pretty cut-and-dry, I've done a couple notable
things. For one, all types of ranged trooper will now avoid friendly
fire, instead of shooting their friends in the back. Even the Russians
have trigger discipline.
I've also created a new AI subtree that allows mobs to call for
reinforcements. I've hopefully made this easy to extend, but the
existing version works as follows:
- A mob with this subtree that gains a target that is also a mob will
call out to all mobs within 15 tiles.
- If they share a faction, mobs receiving the call will have the target
added to their retaliate list, and have a new key set targeting the
calling mob.
- If they have the correct subtree in their AI controller, called-to
mobs will then run over to help out.
Sadly, this behavior is currently used only by a few completely unused
Nanotrasen mobs, so in practice it will not yet be seen.
Finally, I've fixed a minor issue where melee Russian mobs punch people
to death despite holding a knife. They now use the proper effects for
stabbing instead of punching.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Removes 8 more simple animals from the list.
As said above, making all "trooper" type mobs share a common parent cuts
down on code reuse, ensures consistency of behavior, and makes it much
easier to add new troopers not affiliated with these groups. I expect
that I'll make pirates share this same parent next.
The new "reinforcements" behavior, though extremely powerful, opens up
exciting new opportunities in the future. There aren't many existing
behaviors that allow basic mobs to work _together_ in interesting ways,
and I think adding some enemy teamwork could be fun.
## Changelog

refactor: Hostile Nanotrasen mobs now use the basic mob framework. This
should make them a little smarter and more dangerous. Please report any

* Basic Constructs: Artificer (#79015)
## About The Pull Request
Really getting into the meat of the constructs now. Artificers have
become basic mobs.
On the whole, this was a pretty rote conversion, with no significant
gameplay changes other than the switch to using healing hands rather
than a unique heal ability. The player experience as an artificer is
more or less identical.
The _interesting_ part comes with the AI for the seldom-used "hostile"
variant. Hostile artificers, being squishy and laughably weak, are now a
dedicated "medic" role for constructs. They will perform triage, always
seeking the most wounded construct (or shade!) to give healing to. They
will not attack at all, but they _will_ flee with great speed if
attacked and not busy healing. If they are healing another construct,
they will remain even if they are beaten to death.
I've added some more AI functionality that may come in handy in the
future, and done some refactoring to keep things from getting out of
hand:
- A planning subtree for finding targets that will always select the
most heavily wounded living target that the mob can see (or rather, the
one with the least health). Useful again for medical triage, or for
making a particularly cruel mob that always attacks whoever is easiest
to kill. I plan to use this for NPC wraith constructs when I convert
them.
- Targeting datums can now check a blackboard key to see if they should
only target wounded mobs. This is particularly useful for "medic" type
mobs such as this one.
- I've refactored the "minimum stat" behavior of targeting datums to be
stored in a blackboard key. This removes the need to have unique
subtypes for each different minimum stat we might want. Which... for the
most part, weren't even used, leading to proliferation of several
completely identical targeting datums in a bunch of different files.
Hopefully this change will make things cleaner.
In addition, this PR fixes a pair of bugs from #78807 that I didn't
catch:
- Healing constructs can now actually heal shades. Turns out I forgot to
add the correct biotype.
- Healing hands, when set to print the target's remaining health, no
longer does so as a visible message.
The one thing I didn't do that I kind of wanted to is make NPC
artificers heal themselves when wounded and not busy doing something
else, but it ended up being kind of annoying to make a mob willingly
target itself. NPC artificers never had this behavior before, so I
consider it okay, but maybe I'll circle back to it later.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Another basic conversion, another 5 items off the checklist. Very little
should change in-game, though I think the new NPC AI could make for
interesting challenges in ruins or bitrunning or something.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Artificer constructs have been converted to the basic mob
framework. This should change very little about them, but please report
any bugs. NPC artificers are now smarter, and will focus on healing
nearby wounded constructs - if you see them, take them out first!

* Goats will randomly attack you (#78930)
## About The Pull Request
We accidentally lost this behaviour when we converted goats to basic
mobs.
_Formerly_ (and now again) goats had a 0.5% chance per second to simply
decide to attack you for no reason at all.
While attacking you they also have a 10% chance per second to get bored
of doing that and stop.
Additionally, we were outputting a fluff message every time you attacked
a goat which would spam chat if you were trying to fist fight each
other. I added a 20 second cooldown onto it.
As is often the case, implementing this led me down a bit of a rabbit
hole.
We were previously bypassing faction checks via a mixture of flags on AI
behaviours and blackboard keys.
I have moved this _entirely_ to the blackboard now, rather than making
targetting subtypes just to skip faction checks.
This entails having one blackboard key which is "by default do we care
about factions?" and another which is "are we currently ignoring
factions for some other reason?"
Retaliatory AI will generally enable the second flag, so you can get
pissed off at someone you would usually not mind hanging out with if
they start something with you. Certain mobs which want to hunt other
mobs but not be hunted in return just ignore factions entirely all the
time and use the former.
The upshot of this is that the default behaviour for expected default
retaliatory AI shouldn't require you to set any specific kind of
targetting datum and will Just Work.
In a similar vein because I was touching largely the same mobs I made
the "flee when injured" component apply its "don't flee because not
injured" flag instantly upon application rather than needing to manually
set it in the blackboard definition, so that also Just Works.
## Changelog

* Basic Mob Gorillas (#78918)
## About The Pull Request
Now we can make basic mobs with hands easily so I did, they don't
actually use their hands for anything with AI.
In the future we can come back and share the monkey AI where they pick
up items to hit people with, but frankly few weapons are more deadly
than a gorilla's fists.
IIRC I didn't really change their behaviour much, this is mostly just a
straight conversion. Main difference is that they will prioritise eating
nearby bananas and fruit salads over punching people.
When I make these conversions nowadays I need to decide between "does
this attack at the speed that it did as an NPC mob or the speed it did
as a player?"
I am arbitrarily deciding that gorillas are usually not players and
electing for the former, but tell me if you disagree.
I also made "show basic inhand sprites" into a component shared by
Gorillas, Drones, and Dextrous Guardians (all also now available to
become basic, once I get around to it),
And I added an AI behaviour to run a basic emote. This is similar but
different to "random speech", which kind of sucks and needs rewriting
anyway.
Gorillas don't speak, only ooga.

* Synchronise AI and Player basic mob melee behaviours (#78337)
## About The Pull Request
I like for things that mobs do to be consistent regardless of whether
they are controlled by a player or by the AI.
One big offender of this is the melee behaviour cooldown. Basic mobs
piloted by AI have arbitrary melee attack cooldowns which are not
reflected when they are controlled by players who can generally attack
much faster (but in _two_ instances, slower).
To remedy this I added `melee_attack_cooldown` as a var on
`living/basic` (sinful) and the ai now uses NextMove to not click too
often, meaning that players can only bite things as often as the AI can
and also that if you VV the cooldown it can speed the AI up (or slow it
down) as well as a player.
This also gets rid of a lot of subtypes of that datum, as we mostly made
them to change the cooldown.
I also hunted down a few places where there was behaviour placed inside
an AI behaviour which wasn't easily replicable by a player piloting the
same mob, preferably a player should be able to do everything that the
AI can.
Fixing this was largely a simple case of moving code from
`ai_behaviour/melee_attack/perform` to `basic/mob_subtype/melee_attack`
and also adding an element for one thing shared by three different mobs.
Strictly speaking I didn't need the element that much because a player
is perfectly capable of clicking on something they attack to drag it,
but it's nice for it to be automatic?
## Why It's Good For The Game
If you see a mob do something then you should also be able to do it.
Mobs shouldn't have significantly different capabilities when controlled
by a player (aside from usually being smarter).

I was cooking too hard with this one.
- Two abilities overcomplicates what are supposed to be a pretty simple
mob you fight in packs.
- It wasn't obvious what you were actually supposed to do when
targetted.
- Doing it wrong could be very punishing in groups.
- Doing it _right_ was still kind of unexciting.
This is an ability to give to an elite, not a random trash mob.

* minebots basic bots (#78032)
## About The Pull Request
Transforms the minebots into basic robots. You can now command these
minebots to extract minerals for you. To activate automated mining mode,
simply instruct them with the command "mine." They will then proceed to
autonomously mine walls and gather ores. If you wish to make the bot
deposit all the collected ores, use the command "drop." Alternatively,
you can leave it in collection mode, and it will gather all the ores you
mine. Additionally, the bot now responds to several more commands; you
can instruct it to follow you, toggle its lights on or off by saying
"lights." In attack mode, it refrains from mining or collecting ores but
will engage in combat alongside you. If it detects you as deceased or
unconscious, it will alert all miners, request assistance, and relay
your coordinates via the mining communication channel. to power it on u
will need to feed it any type of ore first so it may listen to ur
commands
## Why It's Good For The Game

* Basic Watchers & Basilisks (#77630)
## 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.

* basic ice whelps (#77493)
## 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.

* Give basic mob ranged attacks a cooldown (#77575)
## 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.

* Unit Tests for AI Planning Subtrees not having required element/component (#77539)
## 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.

* Fixes things about goliaths: wallhacks/range hacks(no, really) and tentacles not spawning in mineral turfs; also fixes `find_potential_targets` wallhacks (#77393)
## 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.
## Why It's Good For The Game
## Changelog
🆑
fix: fixed goliaths digging sand that they can't actually reach (behind
windows or inbetween closed turfs)
fix: fixed goliaths melee attacking their target despite the target

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

* Basic Lobstrosity (#77253)
## 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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eKxsH7hD7Q
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gives mobs more character.
Reduces our list of frozen simple mobs.
Replaces some ugly side sprites.

## Changelog

add: Lobstrosities are hungry for fingers and will steal one of your
arms if they defeat you in combat, although this gives you time to crawl
away.
