I've always found grating that xenobiology had access to species they had no business working with, and slime magic can only explain so much. My idea is to separate those species into their respective departments/antags, instead of having them all into a centralized, cheap source.
Androids should be made by robotics through augmentation
Podpeople are a botany feature
Skeletons should be limited to liches or other magic antags
Zombies should stay limited to romerol
Golems are still available in adamantine slimes (and luminescents can morph into golems with them)
Shadowpeople still lack an official place, but luminescents can become shadowpeople with black cores
The basic races are mostly human and lizard, and there are mutation toxins for those in case someone wants their species back after bodyswapping/ling mutation sting/etc.
* Fixes excessive overlay chern
Adding an overlay on every cross and uncross of every player (with how bloody the station gets this is called on just about every fucking movement, some times multiple times if there are multiple types of stains (oil, blood, alien, etc) is an excessive as fuck amount of chern in the overlay subsystem.
This is likely the cause of overlays being so high.
* I APOLOGIZE FOR NOTHING!
Plurality, capitalization, punctuation, and item icons have been
improved. Status displays now show the same text on examination that
they do visually. Inducers only show a success message when they
actually succeed.

Goonchat will use the asset cache, you now have to specify who to send the icons too.
Goonchat will now load icons in the background, displaying them once they load. this prevents the message from being delayed while the icons are sent.
Icons that aren't preloaded using the asset cache system will not render on ie8 clients. This is because of a ie8 bug that prevents changes on runtime created images from rendering.
In cases where you're creating an image to use as an overlay, it makes more sense to use a mutable_appearance if you can. The image will create a static appearance for not just the image but also each intermediate step if you change vars along the way. The mutable appearance avoids this unnecessary and expensive process. The only situation that requires an image instead of a mutable_appearance is if the overlay is supposed to be directional. MA's ignore direction while images don't. I dunno why, probably another BYOND-ism.
I added a convenience function, mutable_appearance(), designed to emulate image(). Also went ahead and set the default plane of /mutable_appearance to FLOAT_PLANE because it's fucking 0 by default.
Several overlays that were image() calls were changed to just text strings when I could. overlays += "string" has the same result as overlays += image(icon, "string") and saves a proc call.
