## About The Pull Request
You can now fish from aquariums if you wish to. This includes some
backend changes to make it possible for the fish table from
get_fish_table() to contain instances, and all that it entails up to
spawn_reward(), which is a requirement for the gimmick to respect the
various traits and other variables of the already instantiated fish
rather than read from cached properties.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The fish progress score/index had only little nasty flaw that has been
nagging me since day one: Not all fish species can be caught. Skipping
McGill, which is a peculiar case that for cheevo purposes should be
considered a standard goldfish, there is the one, unsignificant yet rare
purple sludgefish which can only be gotten as a rare evolution of the
generic sludgefish. Talk about petty, but this may be a long-term nit I
prefer to handle right now.
Also why not? The 'unmarine mastodon' is near impossible to get unless
you somehow find a oil well which is locked behind a specific ruin.

## About The Pull Request
Somewhat of a port of

scratch (with the power of find and replace)
Caller is a protected/reserved var in 516. We use it a lot. It's used in
more places than this, but I'm a perfectionist and can't think of better
names for most of the other uses (mostly mob AI, holocall, and
`InterceptClickOn` related), so I'm just doing pathfinding for now.
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
~~Kept you waitin huh!~~
The projectile refactor is finally here, 4 years later. This PR (almost)
completely rewrites projectile logic to be more maintainable and
performant.
### Key changes:
* Instead of moving by a fixed amount of pixels, potentially skipping
tile corners and being performance-heavy, projectiles now use
raymarching in order to teleport through tiles and only visually animate
themselves. This allows us to do custom per-projectile animations and
makes the code much more reliable, sane and maintainable. You (did not)
serve us well, pixel_move.
* Speed variable now measures how many tiles (if SSprojectiles has
default values) a projectile passes in a tick instead of being a magical
Kevinz Unit™️ coefficient. pixel_speed_multiplier has been retired
because it never had a right to exist in the first place. __This means
that downstreams will need to set all of their custom projectiles' speed
values to ``pixel_speed_multiplier / speed``__ in order to prevent
projectiles from inverting their speed.
* Hitscans no longer operate with spartial vectors and instead only
store key points in which the projectile impacted something or changed
its angle. This should similarly make the code much easier to work with,
as well as fixing some visual jank due to incorrect calculations.
* Projectiles only delete themselves the ***next*** tick after impacting
something or reaching their maximum range. Doing so allows them to
finish their impact animation and hide themselves between ticks via
animation chains. This means that projectiles no longer disappear ~a
tile before hitting their target, and that we can finally make impact
markers be consistent with where the projectile actually landed instead
of being entirely random.

### But how will this affect the ~~trout population~~ gameplay?
Beyond improved visuals, smoother movement and a few minor bugfixes,
this should not have a major gameplay impact. If something changed its
behavior in an unexpected way or started looking odd, please make an
issue report.
Projectile impacts should now be consistent with their visual position,
so hitting and dodging shots should be slightly easier and more
intuitive.
This PR should be testmerged extensively due to the amount of changes it
brings and considerable difficulty in reviewing them. Please contact me
to ensure its good to merge.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Our core projectile code is an ungodly abomination that nobody except
me, Kapu and Potato dared to poke in the past months (potentially
longer). It is laggy, overcomplicated and absolutely unmaintaineable -
while a lot of decisions made sense 4 years ago when we were attempting
to introduce pixel movement, nowadays they are only acting as major
roadblocks for any contributor who is attempting to make projectile
behavior that differs from normal in any way.
Huge thanks to Kapu and Potato (Lemon) on the discord for providing
insights, ideas and advice throughout the past months regarding
potential improvements to projectile code, almost all of which made it
in.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: Projectiles now visually impact their targets instead of
disappearing about a tile short of it.

## About The Pull Request
Was investigating some stuff downstream related to undeleted SQL
queries, and these two queries were related.
thought it'd be best to make them not block
`/client/proc/set_client_age_from_db`, as the results are never checked
anyways, not even for errors.
I've added a new proc to SSdbcore, `FireAndForget` - takes the same
parameters as NewQuery, but instead of returning the query, it just
asynchronously executes and then deletes it.

## About The Pull Request
This adds plenty of useful stuff regarding byond-tracy, altho mostly
focused on the [Paradise
fork](https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/byond-tracy).
- Adds two new config options **(THEY ARE DISABLED BY DEFAULT)**
- `ALLOW_TRACY_START` gives admins with +DEBUG the "Run Tracy Now" verb,
which will allow them to start profiling with byond-tracy mid-round.
- `ALLOW_TRACY_QUEUE` gives admins with +DEBUG the "Toggle Tracy Next
Round" verb, which will initialize byond-tracy during world init the
next round (in the same way as passing `-params tracy` or defining
`USE_BYOND_TRACY`)
- If byond-tracy fails to initialize, the error will be logged and
available to view for the whole round.
- If `MC_TAB_TRACY_INFO` is defined, information about byond-tracy now
appears in the MC tab - if it's running or not, if it errored (and what
the error is), why it's running, if its queued for next round, etc.
- byond-tracy is now properly shut down when the world shuts
down/reboots, minimizing the risk of data loss or crashing
- More info regarding byond-tracy init is sent to `world.log`
## Why It's Good For The Game
Profiling is super helpful, and this should make things quite easier
## Changelog
No user-facing changes
## About The Pull Request
This makes `/datum/player_details` properly track BYOND version and
build separately, as opposed to just the full version string.
Whenever a client logs in, and their BYOND version is 516, while their
previous version was 515, or vice versa, it'll set a newly added client
var, `rebuild_plane_masters`, to TRUE.
During the `COMSIG_MOB_LOGIN` signal handler of a mob's HUD
(`/datum/hud/proc/client_refresh`), it will check to see if
`rebuild_plane_masters` is TRUE - if so, it will set the appropriate
`relay_loc` of (based on client BYOND version) of its plane master
groups, and rebuild their plane masters.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes testing stuff across 515 and 516 easier, as your screen won't
break when switching between the two.

Being named mob/camera also makes it unclear exactly what it's doing.
The name implies that it would function similar to how mob/camera/ai_eye
does, but most of the time it's only used as... an eye.
My ulterior reason for this PR is that I want to clean up
mob/camera/ai_eye and it's subtypes after this.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a new boolean that lets you opt out of automatically linking
zlevels in `LoadGroup()` (as implemented in
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/87029); and forwards that
support to map jsons. Does ***not*** change any /tg/ map jsons in the
process; as they all still work as intended.
A modified Icebox JSON loading correctly:

### How do I disable automatic z-level linking?
Add the following to your json; under planetary:
``` "height_autosetup": 0, ```
For each z-level's trait; you can then add either `"Up": true` or `"Down": true` to link them manually, as you would've prior to #87029 .
## Why It's Good For The Game
tl;dr, map experimentation. It was prior possible to have station segments separated by z-level that weren't vertically linked; which was put to practice most prominently on Nova Sector, of all places, - but #87029 made it automatically assume that they should be linked in that manner.
This middleground keeps the new assumption while preserving the old manual process for any mapping projects that need it.

## About The Pull Request
I'm adding a score that tracks which types of fish you've caught across
multiple rounds. To do so, I had to add a new score subtype that manages
the score value not being a number. Thankfully the achievement code is
fairly flexible so not a whole lot had to be done, although I've to add
a new column to the achievements table in the DB, because the 'value' is
for integers, while we need one for text strings ~~(the contents of the
list are converted to text with a delimiter before being saved cuz I'm
not sure if and how our DM slash SQL integration handles using lists
directly and I don't want to waste time finding it out)~~.
EDIT: It's mostly done beside the reviews that are going to point out
things that need to be changed. The UI changes are done. It's time for
reviews.
Here are screenshots of the UI with all fish still uncatched beside one
(I've since then the typo on its name and removed an extra zero from the
index number, as well as a nit with the spacing between cells):


## Why It's Good For The Game

of which are just fluff anyway. It's getting to the point it's perhaps
doable to add a score or something to be a braggard about.

## About The Pull Request
This PR kills the abstract internal and external typepaths for organs,
now replaced by an EXTERNAL_ORGAN flag to distinguish the two kinds.
This PR also fixes fox ears (from #87162, no tail is added) and
mushpeople's caps (they should be red, the screenshot is a tad
outdated).
And yes, you can now use a hair dye spray to recolor body parts like
most tails, podpeople hair, mushpeople caps and cat ears. The process
can be reversed by using the spray again.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Time-Green put some effort during the last few months to untie functions
and mechanics from external/internal organ pathing. Now, all that this
pathing is good for are a few typechecks, easily replaceable with
bitflags.
Also podpeople and mushpeople need a way to recolor their "hair". This
kind of applies to fish tails from the fish infusion, which colors can't
be selected right now. The rest is just there if you ever want to
recolor your lizard tail for some reason.
Proof of testing btw (screenshot taken before mushpeople cap fix, right
side has dyed body parts, moth can't be dyed, they're already fabolous):

## Changelog
🆑
code: Removed internal/external pathing from organs in favor of a bit
flag. Hopefully this shouldn't break anything about organs.

## About The Pull Request
Upon getting stabbed in your eyes or having a bullet fly through your
head there's a chance (minor for stabbing, extremely low for headshots)
you'll receive a new "Eye Puncture" wound which causes profuse bleeding
out of your now-empty eye hole. Once healed you'll have to deal with a
scar on your eye which cannot be cured and requires surgical
replacement. Eye scarring will reduce your eyes' max health by 15, give
you a minor screen tint and a fancy visual on your character sprite.
Getting scarring on both eyes will turn you completely blind.

This PR also introduces a new quirk which gives you eye scarring on the
eye of your choice and an eyepatch to go alongside it, just make sure
that it sits on the right eye.
Also added medical(white) subtype of eyepatches to loadout for those who
want that version instead. Credits to AnturK on discord for the idea.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Its a neat lil' feature that makes the game more immersive, and unlocks
more roleplay opportunities for players. New quirk gives access to this
feature for players who want to make it a part of their character's
backstory (or maybe as a part of permanent scar roleplaying).
## Changelog
🆑
add: Getting stabbed or shot in the eyes has a chance of giving you a
new wound and a semi-permanent scar, blinding you on one side
add: Added new "Scarred Eye" quirk which blinds you on one eye but gives
you a fancy eyepatch

## About The Pull Request
I'm adding a new infusion ~~(actually four, but two of them are just
holders for specific organs tied to a couple fish traits)~~ to the game.
As the title says, it's about fish.
The infusion is composed of three primary organs, plus another few that
can be gotten from fish with specific traits.
The primary organs are:
- Gills (lungs): Instead of breathing oxygen, you now need to stay wet
or breathe water vapor.
- fish-DNA infused stomach: Can safely eat raw fish.
- fish tail: On its own, it only speeds you up on water turfs, but it
has another effect once past the organ set threshold. It also makes you
waddle and flop like a fish while crawling (I still gotta finish sprites
on this one)
Other organs are:
- semi-aquatic lungs: A subtype of gills from fish with the 'amphibious'
trait, falls back on oxygen if there's no water. Can also be gotten from
frogs, axolotl and crabs.
- fish-DNA infused liver: From fish with the 'toxic' trait. Uses
tetrodotoxin as a healing chem instead of a toxin. Also better tolerance
to alcohol if you want to drink like a fish (ba dum tsh).
- inky tongue: From fish with the 'ink production' trait. Gives mobs the
ability to spit ink on a cooldown, blinding and confusion foes
temporarily.
The main gimmick of this infusion revolves around being drenched in
water to benefit from it, In the case you get the gills organ, this also
becomes a necessity, to not suffocate to death (alternatively, you can
breathe water vapor, without any benefit). To enable the bonus of the
organs set, three organs need to be infused. They can be gills, stomach,
tail and/or liver, while the inky tongue doesn't count towards it.
Once the threshold is reached, the following bonus are enabled:
- Wetness decays a lot slower and resists fire a bit more.
- Ink spit becomes stronger, allowing it to very briefly knock down
foes.
- Fishing bonuses and experience
- Resistance to high pressures
- Slightly expanded FOV
- drinking water and showers mildly heal you over time.
- for felinids: You won't hate getting sprayed by water or taking a
shower.
- While wet:
- - If the fish tail is implanted, crawling speed is boosted.
- - You no longer slip on wet tiles.
- - You also become slippery when lying on the floor.
- - You get a very mild damage resistance and passive stamina
regeneration, and cool down faster.
- - You resist grabs better.
- - get a very weak positive moodlet.
- However, being dry will make you quite squisher, especially against
fire damage, slower and give you a modest negative moodlet.
While working on it, I've also noticed a few things that explained why
tetrodotoxin (TTX) did jackshit at low doses, because livers have a set
toxin tolerance value, below which, any amount of toxin does nothing.
Also I've felt like reagents like multiver & co were a bit too strong
against a reagent that's supposed to work at very low doses, with slow
metabolization, so I've added a couple variables to buff TTX a bit,
making it harder to purge and resistant to liver toxin tolerance (also
added a bit of lungs damage).
## Why It's Good For The Game
I wanted to take a shot at coding a DNA infusion and see how chock-full
I could make it. DNA infusions are like a middle point between "aha,
small visual trinket" and organs with generally ok effects. I seek to
make something a bit more complex ~~(also tied to fishing ofc because
that's more or less the recurrent gag of my recent features)~~ primaly
focused around the unique theme of being strong when wet and weaker when
dry.
EDIT: The PR is now ready, have a set of screenshots of the (fairly mid)
fish tails (and gills, barely visible) on randomly generated spessman
and one consistent joe:

around being stronger and slippery when wet while weaker when dry.

## About The Pull Request
AI controllers do not respect their tick limits, behaving as if they

gives a gives a unique message.
Honorbound chaplains can freely attack you without first declaring you
evil. You are already evil. There is no outward tells for this fact, but
if the chaplain pays attention to the medical records, you might have a
problem on your hands.
You are significantly harmed by holy water and holy explosions. So don't
drink holy water if you can help it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I just think it'd be funny to have some crew, for whatever reason, be
fully committed to being evil for no reason other than it is funny to
bother empaths.
I want a chaplain to come to the realization that I'm evil and see what
happens.

## About The Pull Request
I'm "cooking" the materials system a bit, specifically the code
responsible for applying and removing effects. My goal is to move most
of the code to the objects-side, split it in smaller procs that can be
more easily overriden or called for object-specific modifiers and
effects, while also revamping things all around to better support items
made from multiple materials (the cleric mace will most likely be one in
this PR, with the handle and tip made of different materials).
PR NO LONGER WIP, TESTED AND ALL, CLERIC MACES CAN NOW BE MADE OF TWO
MATERIALS.
## Why It's Good For The Game
One of the nastiest flaws with the materials system is that it's just
unfeasable to have items made of multiple mats (with effects enabled)
right now, as they easily tend to override each other, where some of the
modifiers and effects should only be applied the main material.
Beside, the system's starting to show signs of its time, from the
several type checks used to apply different effects, the one letter
variables to the the material flags that are still being passed down as
arguments when you can access them from the atom/source arg anyway. It
would be disonhest of me if I went ahead and coded material fishing rods
or whatever fish fuckery with materials without ensuring it won't
further the technical debt the feature currently has.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Refactored materials code. report any issue.
add: Cleric maces (The autolathe-printable weapon design from outer
space) can now be made of two different materials.
balance: Buffed cleric maces a little.

## About The Pull Request
Before there were two settings for human authority:
`ENFORCE_HUMAN_AUTHORITY` and `ENFORCE_HUMAN_AUTHORITY_ON_EVERYONE`
The first, if enabled, would not let non-humans be heads of staff unless
they had a specific var on their job set to TRUE.
The second, if enabled, would simply ignore that var and reject the
non-human anyways.
This PR replaces both of those settings with a single one,
`HUMAN_AUTHORITY`. You can set it to one of four settings:
* "OFF": human authority will be turned OFF. Non-Humans will be able to
be heads of staff.
* "HUMAN WHITELIST": human authority will be turned OFF, HOWEVER; if a
job has its new `human_authority` variable set to
`JOB_AUTHORITY_HUMANS_ONLY`, then whoever picks that job will be forced
to be human.
* "NON-HUMAN WHITELIST": human authority will be turned ON. However, if
a job has its `human_authority` variable set to
`JOB_AUTHORITY_NON_HUMANS_ALLOWED`, a non-human can become that job.
This is what we have now, it works the same as if
`ENFORCE_HUMAN_AUTHORITY` were turned on. This is also what I've set as
the default value.
* "ENFORCED" human authority will be turned ON. Non-Humans will never be
able to be heads of staff. This is what
`ENFORCE_HUMAN_AUTHORITY_ON_EVERYONE` used to do.
You can also now set the `human_authority` variable through
`jobconfig.toml`!
## Why It's Good For The Game
Allows more configuration options for downstreams, and lets keyholders

Fixes#86899
Assigning head positions doesn't use the `available_occupations` list
and instead just iterates through all command roles direct from some
department job helper, jumping over any that are at capacity.
This means the `available_occupations` list doesn't get updated when
head positions are assigned and can lead to an edge case where two
players can both get a single-slot job. The first player gets it via
`fill_all_head_positions_at_priority()`. The second player gets it via
being given a random role when any now-full head job doesn't get removed
from the `available_occupations` list.
There are many ways to fix this. The solution I've opted for is removing
command roles from the `available_occupations` list entirely, letting
`fill_all_head_positions_at_priority()` handle the logic for this
exclusively.

fix: Fixes a bug where the game would assign multiple players to
single-slot command roles.

## About The Pull Request
This autoloads the up/down traits for every map instead of having to
manually add those traits to the JSON.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More automation good. Also let's people experiment with larger maps like
a multi-z lavaland.

## About The Pull Request
Adds the following new general shuttle events:_
**Hitchhiker**
- 1% chance
- A single assistant in an EVA suit and some PBJs in a suitcase
**Assistant Wave**
- 0.1% chance
- Spawns 10 assistants with internals
- For clarity, they don't get sent to the shuttle, but get launched at
it from space. It's a scuffle of 10 assistants trying to get in without
being spaced or succumbing to the cold/pressure
**Intern Wave**
- Admin only
- Unarmed and armed version
- Spawns centcom interns, with a little announcement to warn they're
coming
I've also fixed projectiles bugging out and admin forced shuttle events
not activating if they were added after the shuttle launched
<details>
<summary>Admin only events added</summary>
**Nukie**
Spawns a single nukie, armed with a shotgun, pistol and edagger.
Basically the deathmatch nukie loadout, you dont want to fight this
**Meaty ores**
Meaty-ores meteors. Have a 4% chance to hit the shuttle, posing a
potential hazard
**3 player controlled fire-sharks**
3 fire sharks controlled by players. Not much to talk about here
**Fireball Wave**
Shoots a wave of fireballs at the shuttle. I think it's cool but
apparently shuttle walls and windows deflect fireballs so it's kind of
moot unless you're outside :/
</details>
## Why It's Good For The Game
The assistant and hitchhiker events are some flavoring that I thought up
a while ago. The Hitchhiker is just intentionally a flavor addition, but
the assistant wave and intern wave can be used by admins to repopulate
or retake the emergency shuttle as well.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Adds an assistant and hitchiker shuttle event, replenishing the
crew mid flight!
admin: Adds two intern wave shuttle events
code: You can now supply shuttle events with outfits!
code: You can now shoot projectiles with the shuttle events!
fix: Fixes projectiles bugging out when fired in shuttle transit space
fix: Fixes admin forced shuttle events not activating when added mid
transit

## About The Pull Request
Changes map votes to be based on a persistent tally count.
Tallies for maps are cached between rounds and are added to by map
votes.
When a map is chosen, and it wasn't the only valid one, the tallies for
said chosen map will be reset.
Refactors map vote handling and moves it from SSmapping to SSmap_vote.
Rock the Vote has been removed as a result of this refactor.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes it more likely that all maps will be played over the course of a
server instead of always being truly random.
Removes some clutter off of SSmapping.
🆑
refactor: Map Votes are now carried over between rounds. When a map vote
is actually a contest, the winning map will have its votes reset.

## About The Pull Request
So this was caused by the change in
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/86012 .
They tried to fix a case for polls with `amount_to_pick` set to _greater
than 1_ having null entries in the returned lists, and succeeded at
that.
However, in doing so they messed up the control flow of the proc such
that now it's returning early with an empty `list()` whenever the amount
is _equal to 1_.
The assumption was, when `amount_to_pick` was equal to 1 specifically
then the return value would be either a `null` value or the valid mob.
However, now what was being returned was either a `list()` or the valid
mob because that code was no longer ever being reached.
For example


Fixes https://github.com/NovaSector/NovaSector/issues/4427
Fixes both bugs in a way that should not cause any problems, and adjusts
documentation to make it clearer what the return value of this proc is
expected to be.

## About The Pull Request
123 changed files and multiple crashes after writing broken regex, I
replaced most remains of direct spans with macros. This cleans up the
code and makes it easier to work with in general, see justification for
the original PR. I also fixed a bunch of broken and/or unclosed spans
here too.
I intentionally avoided replacing spans with multiple classes (in most
cases) and spans in the middle of strings as it would impact readability
(in my opinion at least) and could be done later if required.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cleaner code, actually using our macros, fixes borked HTML in some
places. See original PR.

## About The Pull Request
This PR significantly enhances how zero-g movement works. Its no longer
locked to one of 8 directions, everything now has inertia and is
affected by weight. This means that throwing a piece of wire will no
longer completely reverse your movement direction, and that being thrown
out of mass driver no longer will slow you down to a halt at some point.
This leads to following gameplay changes:
* Guns now accelerate you. Ballistics have higher acceleration than
lasers, and higher calibers have higher acceleration than smaller ones.
This means that firing full-auto weapons in zero-g will make you drift
and accelerate significantly. While this can be a hilarious way to
travel in space, it makes using them trickier.
* Impacting a wall or an object while moving at high speeds will cause
you to violently crash into it as if you were thrown. Careful when
exploring!
* Jetpacks now have inertia. Changes introduced in #84712 have been
mostly reverted, although speed buff has been reduced to 0.3 instead of
0.5 (although this is compensated by new movement mechanics, so overall
speed should be roughly equal). All MODsuit jetpacks now possess the
speed boost. Advanced MODsuit jets (which has also been added back) and
captain's jetpack instead have higher acceleration and stabilization
power, providing much more precise control over your movement.
* Firing guns while moving on a jetpack will partially negate your
pack's acceleration, slowing you down. Non-advanced jetpacks'
stabilization is not enough to compensate for heavy caliber weaponry as
sniper rifles, shotguns or rocket launchers.
* You no longer instantly decelerate upon sliding along a wall. Instead,
it may take a few tiles if you are moving at extreme speeds. Passing
over lattices still allows you to grab onto them!
As space movement is angle-based instead of dir-based now, its much more
smooth than before due to using new movement logic.
Example of jetpack stabilization in action:
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/44720187/6761a4fd-b7de-4523-97ea-38144b8aab41
And, of course, you can do this now.

**This pull request requires extensive gameplay testing before
merging**, as a large amount of numbers have been picked arbitrarily in
an attempt to keep consistency with previous behavior (guns and
normal-sized items applying 1 drift force, which is equal to what
everything applied before this PR). Jetpacks and impacts may also
require adjustments as to not be frustrating to use.
Closes#85165
## Why It's Good For The Game
Zero-G refactor - currently our zero-g movement is rather ugly and can
be uncomfortable to work with. A piece of cable being able to accelerate
you the same as a duffelbag full of items when thrown makes no sense,
and so does instantly changing directions. Inertia-based version is
smoother and more intuitive. This also makes being thrown into space
more of a hazard (possibly opening the door for explosive
decompressions?)
Jetpack inertia and gun changes - this is mostly a consequence of
inertia-based movement. However, zero-g combat being preferred during
modes like warops was an issue due to it negatively affecting everyone
without jetpacks which are in limited supply onboard. This reverts the
mobility changes which severely impacted space exploration, while making
zero-g combat more dangerous and having it require more skill to be a
viable option.
## What's left
- [x] Refactor moth wings to use jetpack code
- [x] Refactor functional wings to use jetpack code
- [x] Locate and fix a recursion runtime that sometimes occurs upon
splattering against a wall
- [x] Add craftable tethers and modify engineering MOD tethers to use
the same system
## Changelog
🆑
add: You can now craft tether anchors, which can be secured with a
wrench and attached to with right click. They won't let you drift into
space and you can adjust tether length/cut it via lmb/rmb/ctrl click on
the wire.
add: MOD tethers now remotely place and connect to tether anchors
instead of throwing you at where they landed.
balance: MOD tethers can now be used in gravity
balance: Jetpacks are now inertia-based.
balance: Guns can accelerate you significantly in zero-g.
balance: All jetpacks now give you equal speed buff, however advanced
MOD ion jets and captain's jetpack have higher acceleration/deceleration
values.
refactor: Refactored zero-g movement to be inertia-based and utilize
angles instead of directions.

## About The Pull Request
Rewrites a good chunk of express console code, removing one letter
variables, duplicate code and straightening all the staircases with
early returns. RIP cooldowns in ui_data()
Mapped-in consoles now actually work, as currently they initialize
before SSshuttles which results in them having a completely empty packs
menu. This is fixed by making them report themselves to SSshuttles which
will call package init on them once it itself initializes.
Emagging the console will update the prices in the UI, and emagged
consoles will try to send at least 1 package instead of requiring the
budget to have enough funds to send all 5 pods. Because when you press a
button with a price tag on it, you'd expect at least something to
happen.
Beacons now reset their offsets when anchored because thats been
triggering my OCD. Upgrade disks aren't deleted and instead drop when
the console is deconstructed.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Code is crunchy, stuff is broken, prices aren't displayed correctly when
the console is emagged and you'd expect at least something to arrive
when you press a button with a price that you can afford.

## About The Pull Request
This swaps out the pirate spawner on the Meta Central VDOM with the
subtype specifically meant for virtual domains. That thing wasn't
actually a virtual domain spawner, it was just a regular one.
This applies the necessary restrictions/roles being applied to pirates
who spawn on that map. It will also make #86794 work on the Metastation
Central map, rather than only affect the Corsair Cove map (which used
the correct spawner type).
This also adds the Announce to Ghosts flag to Meta Central, as is
uniform for maps with ghost roles. Doing so also enables the VDOM
selector UI indicator that ghost roles can spawn on the map.
This whole thing started as an attempt to fix#86785 but I was too slow
and someone beat me too it. Darn.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ensures #86785 will be closed properly.
## Changelog
