## About The Pull Request
- Improves duplication code significantly
- Removes 'perfectcopy', 'newloc', 'nerf' and 'holoitem' args. These
were made for holodeck items, but holodeck items do not use this proc so
it's since been unused.
- Adds many things to duplicate forbidden vars, such as external organs
(and fixes internal organs), overlays, and signals. The signal part is
what broke basic things for duplicated mobs, such as dying, huds, and
lying down.
- Duplicated mobs now properly carry over the identity of the old mob
without losing anything in the process, and now actually work as a mob,
with visible HUDs and everything. They also carry implants over now.
- Duplicated mobs also now no longer cut all their contents and rebuild
the entire mob, they don't carry overlays at all (so we don't have the
problems that come along with it, like clothing sprites from clothes
that don't exist).
- As a minor detail, makes DuplicateObject use snake_case instead, and
makes duplicate_forbidden_vars protected.
- Removes copy_contents_to because it's unused. It was originally meant
for Holodeck, but holodecks now use map templates so it's no longer used
in-game.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/42212
Duplicating mobs no longer gives a broken mob, which was a common
problem with cloning pods (the admin pods, that you drop down onto
people).
Updates very old code to modern code standards.
This PR was made to help out
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/71141 too, the author of
that PR is aware of this one.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Duplicating mobs now should now give properly functioning
mobs, as duplications in general have been reworked. Admins can feel
free to use the pod feature on people.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a new holodeck layout that features a TGC card fighting arena,
complete with holographic representations of your cards. Cards act the
same as physical cards when displayed except you can see the stats of
the cards without needing to inspect and the cards stats can be modified
on the fly for keeping track of equipment.
Example:
## Why It's Good For The Game
TGC is a significantly more complicated game then the other ones we have
like UNO and CAS and is extremely messy to play on a table ingame, this
provides a much clearer way of visualizing the game by having all active
creature stats on full display at all times without having to rely on
inspecting cards to check.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Introducing a new holodeck map, the TGC Arena, featuring hologram
projectors for your trading cards.
fix: Janitor and Intern TGC cards are now considered creatures rather
than just humans.
balance: The price of card packs has been reduced from double a paycheck
to 3 quarters of one.
balance: The number of cards available in the good clean fun vendor has
been doubled.
/🆑
Adds some new procs relating to baseturfs that replaces some code that
reads and sets them directly. Moves them to their own file. **To
reviewers: Any proc in baseturfs.dm that is snake_case is mine, anything
else is just moved**.
Adds tests for the existing procs of baseturfs.
I'm going to be doing some optimizations to baseturfs that change the
actual representation of baseturfs, and so I'm prepping these to be
implementation agnostic.

## About The Pull Request
Wow we're finally here. This turns carp into Basic Mobs instead of
Simple Animals.
They use a variety of behaviours added in previous PRs to act in a
marginally more interesting way than they used to.
But don't worry there's still 2 or 3 PRs to follow this one until I'm
done with space fish.
Changes in this PR:
Carp will try to run away if they get below 50% health, to make use of
their "regenerate if not attacked" component.
Magicarp have different targetting behaviour for spells depending on
their spell;
- Ressurecting Carp will try to ressurect allied mobs.
- Animating Carp will try to animate nearby objects.
- Door-creating Carp will try to turn nearby walls into doors.
You can order Magicarp to cast their spell on something if you happen to
manage to tame one.
The eating element now has support for "getting hurt" when you eat
something. Carp eating can rings and hating it was too soulful not to
continue supporting.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Carp are iconic beasts and I think they should be more interesting.
Also we just want to turn mobs into basic mobs anyway.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Carp will now run away if their health gets low, meaning they may
have a chance to regenerate.
add: Lia will now fight back if attacked instead of letting herself get
killed, watch out!
balance: Magicarp will now aim their spells more intelligently.
add: Tame Magicarp can be ordered to use their spells on things.
refactor: Carp are now "Basic Mobs" instead of "Simple Mobs"
fix: Dehydrated carp no longer give you a bad feeling when they're your
friend and a good feeling when they're going to attack you.
balance: Tamed carp are now friendly only to their tamer rather than
their whole faction, which should make dehydrated carp more active.
Order them to stay or follow you if you want them to behave around your
friends.

## About The Pull Request
i did this with #59355 to fix a bug but it breaks guarantees with
baseturfs. now they arent broken.
## Why It's Good For The Game
this probably causes bugs under some conditions
This one is fun.
On every /turf/Initialize and /atom/Initialize, we try to set
`smoothing_groups` and `canSmoothWith` to a cached list of bitfields. At
the type level, these are specified as lists of IDs, which are then
`Join`ed in Initialize, and retrieved from the cache (or built from
there).
The problem is that the cache only misses about 60 times, but the cache
hits more than a hundred thousand times. This means we eat the cost of
`Join` (which is very very slow, because strings + BYOND), as well as
the preliminary `length` checks, for every single atom.
Furthermore, as you might remember, if you have any list variable set on
a type, it'll create a hidden `(init)` proc to create the list. On
turfs, that costs us about 60ms.
This PR does a cool trick where we can completely eliminate the `Join`
*and* the lists at the cost of a little more work when building the
cache.
The trick is that we replace the current type definitions with this:
```patch
- smoothing_groups = list(SMOOTH_GROUP_TURF_OPEN, SMOOTH_GROUP_FLOOR_ASH)
- canSmoothWith = list(SMOOTH_GROUP_FLOOR_ASH, SMOOTH_GROUP_CLOSED_TURFS)
+ smoothing_groups = SMOOTH_GROUP_TURF_OPEN + SMOOTH_GROUP_FLOOR_ASH
+ canSmoothWith = SMOOTH_GROUP_FLOOR_ASH + SMOOTH_GROUP_CLOSED_TURFS
```
These defines, instead of being numbers, are now segments of a string,
delimited by commas.
For instance, if ASH used to be 13, and CLOSED_TURFS used to be 37, this
used to equal `list(13, 37)`. Now, it equals `"13,37,"`.
Then, when the cache misses, we take that string, and treat it as part
of a JSON list, and decode it from there. Meaning:
```java
// Starting value
"13,37,"
// We have a trailing comma, so add a dummy value
"13,37,0"
// Make it an array
"[13,37,0]"
// Decode
list(13, 37, 0)
// Chop off the dummy value
list(13, 37) // Done!
```
This on its own eliminates 265ms *without space ruins*, with the
combined savings of turf/Initialize, atom/Initialize, and the hidden
(init) procs that no longer exist.
Furthermore, there's some other fun stuff we gain from this approach
emergently.
We previously had a difference between `S_TURF` and `S_OBJ`. The idea is
that if you have any smoothing groups with `S_OBJ`, then you will gain
the `SMOOTH_OBJ` bitflag (though note to self, I need to check that the
cost of adding this is actually worth it). This is achieved by the fact
that `S_OBJ` simply takes the last turf, and adds onto that, meaning
that if the biggest value in the sorting groups is greater than that,
then we know we're going to be smoothing to objects.
This new method provides a limitation here. BYOND has no way of
converting a number to a string at compile time, meaning that we can't
evaluate `MAX_S_TURF + offset` into a string. Instead, in order to
preserve the nice UX, `S_OBJ` now instead opts to make the numbers
negative. This means that what used to be something like:
```dm
smoothing_groups = list(SMOOTH_GROUP_ALIEN_RESIN, SMOOTH_GROUP_ALIEN_WEEDS)
```
...which may have been represented as
```dm
smoothing_groups = list(15, MAX_S_TURF + 3)
```
...will now become, at compile time:
```dm
smoothing_groups = "15,-3,"
```
Except! Because we guarantee smoothing groups are sorted through unit
testing, this is actually going to look like:
```dm
smoothing_groups = "-3,15,"
```
Meaning that we can now check if we're smoothing with objects just by
checking if `smoothing_groups[1] == "-"`, as that's the only way that is
possible. Neat!
Furthermore, though much simpler, what used to be `if
(length(smoothing_groups))` (and canSmoothWith) on every single
atom/Initialize and turf/Initialize can now be `if (smoothing_groups)`,
since empty strings are falsy. `length` is about 15% slower than doing
nothing, so in procs as hot as this, this gives some nice gains just on
its own.
For developers, very little changes. Instead of using `list`, you now
use `+`. The order might change, as `S_OBJ` now needs to come first, but
unit tests will catch you if you mess up. Also, you will notice that all
`S_OBJ` have been increased by one. This is because we used to have
`S_TURF(0)` and `S_OBJ(0)`, but with this new trick, -0 == 0, and so
they conflicted and needed to be changed.
del: Removed icon_state randomization (all but one states) from space turfs to shave a bit of time when initializing maps. This only affects those who have parallax disabled!
About The Pull Request
Made a basic version of the pet base called /mob/living/basic/pet. It's significantly more stripped down from the old simple_animal one, because its half collar stuff and...
Made the collar slot a component that you could theoretically remove from a pet to disable the behavior, or add to any other living mob as long as you set up the icon states for the collar (or not, the visuals are optional).
The corgi's collar strippable slot is now generally the pet collar slot, and in theory could be used for other pet stripping screens.
I also gutted the extra access card code from /mob/living/basic/pet as it's only being used by corgis. Having a physical ID is now just inherent to corgis, as they're the only ones that could equip it anyway.
Ported the make_babies() function from simple_animals to a new subtree and associated behavior, called /datum/ai_planning_subtree/make_babies that uses blackboards to know the animal-specific info.
Note that it's marginally improved, as the female walks to the male first instead of bluespace reproduction.
Tweaked and improved the dog AI to work as a basic mob, including making /datum/idle_behavior/idle_dog fully functional.
Made a /datum/ai_planning_subtree/random_speech/dog that pulls the dynamic speech and emotes to support dog fashion.
I've tested base collars across multiple pet types.
For dogs, I've tested general behavior, fetching, reproduction, dog fashion, and deadchat_plays, covering all the oddities I'm aware of.

So i left over some basic `/whatever/proc/format` uses in the original
PR this fixes it.
Notable exceptions to the rule:
- Paths in add_verb/remove_verb, we need full path instead of a name
there to access verb metadata so we can't use proc ref macros there.
- regex.Replace, found out that it does not accept call by name. Instead
i added new REGEX_REPLACE_HANDLER so we can at least try to mark these.
There's still leftover global procs that do not use GLOBAL_PROC_REF but
they functionally equivalent so that's for later.
I don't see any reasonable way to grep for this. But if you got any
ideas please share.
We're getting into the less than 0.1s realm of low hanging fruits now.
Decks of cards were initializing thousands of cards at once, not unlike
[paper bins](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/69586) or
[circuit components](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/69664).
Cards are more complicated than paper bins since we can't just keep a
count, and managing individual card object lifetimes is significantly
more complicated than incrementing/decrementing a number. Thus, the
logic here is slightly different.
Decks now have an `initial_cards` variable which can take card names
(which is most implementers), and for special decks, can specify an
interface that is basically a lazy function for creating a card atom.
When anything needs any real card atom, we just generate them all. The
runtime cost of this is extremely small, and affects neither dev cycles
(the motivation for the change) or ongoing rounds.
Similar vein to #37116
This is supposed to be standard, yet here we are.
SHOULDN'T change anything, but there's likely something out there that's

## About The Pull Request
Back in #64175, I reworked rabbits such that their base behavior was
just a cute fluffy snuggle monster, and not have the "easter" variant be
the default. Now that we're transitioning everything from simple_animal
to basic, I figured now was the time to shift that over too.
Pretty much everything should be the same as it was before, I even took
some time to add behavior to some elements to allow it to work (let me
know if I should handle it a different way) but rabbits as a
simple_animal and rabbits as a basic mob should now not be very
distinguishable (beyond the fact that they only speak via subtrees).
I also got rid of the single-letter icon_states in the DMI and
accomodated the code to fix because I finally got irritated enough to do
something about that.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Although I didn't really have any pressing urge to add more complex AI
behavior to rabbits than just pretty much re-implementing what they had
as a simple_animal, this is an excellent first-step to allowing much
more extensible behaviors to these fuzzy creatures.
Also, it takes three more mobs off "the frozen list". Whoopie!

The UpdatePaths is useless for the maps we have on our repository
(holodecks use a spawner code-side), but I'm going to be nice to
downstreams who need it.
Makes the code compatible with 515.1594+
Few simple changes and one very painful one.
Let's start with the easy:
* puts call behind `LIBCALL` define, so call_ext is properly used in 515
* Adds `NAMEOF_STATIC(_,X)` macro for nameof in static definitions since
src is now invalid there.
* Fixes tgui and devserver. From 515 onward the tmp3333{procid} cache
directory is not appened to base path in browser controls so we don't
check for it in base js and put the dev server dummy window file in
actual directory not the byond root.
* Renames the few things that had /final/ in typepath to ultimate since
final is a new keyword
And the very painful change:
`.proc/whatever` format is no longer valid, so we're replacing it with
new nameof() function. All this wrapped in three new macros.
`PROC_REF(X)`,`TYPE_PROC_REF(TYPE,X)`,`GLOBAL_PROC_REF(X)`. Global is
not actually necessary but if we get nameof that does not allow globals
it would be nice validation.
This is pretty unwieldy but there's no real alternative.
If you notice anything weird in the commits let me know because majority
was done with regex replace.
@tgstation/commit-access Since the .proc/stuff is pretty big change.

* 'optimizes' space transitions by like 0.06 seconds, makes them easier to read tho, so that's an upside
* ''''optimizes'''' parsed map loading
I'm honestly not sure how big a difference this makes, looked like small
percentage points if anything
It's a bit more internally concistent at least, which is nice. Also I
understand the system now.
I'd like to think it helped but I think this is kinda a "do you think
it's easier to read" sort of situation. if it did help it was by the
skin of its teeth
* Saves 0.6 seconds off loading meta and lavaland's map files
This is just a lot of micro stuff.
1: Bound checks don't need to be inside for loops, we can instead bound the iteration counts
2: TGM and DMM are parsed differently. in dmm a grid_set is one z level,
in tgm it's one collumn. Realizing this allows you to skip copytexts and
other such silly in the tgm implemenentation, saving a good bit of time
3: Min/max bounds do not need to be checked inside for loops, and can
instead be handled outside of them, because we know the order of x
and y iteration. This saves 0.2 seconds
I may or may not have made the code harder to read, if so let me know
and I'll check it over.
* Micro ops key caching significantly. Fixes macros bug
inserting \ into a dmm with no valid target would just less then loop
the string. Dumb
Anyway, optimizations. I save a LOT of time by not needing to call
find_next_delimiter_position for every entry and var set. (like maybe 0.5
seconds, not totally sure)
I save this by using splittext, which is significantly faster. this
would cause parsing issues if you could embed \n into dmms, but you
can't, so I'm safe.
Lemme see uh, lots of little things, stuff that's suboptimal or could be
done cheaper. Some "hey you and I both know a \" is 2 chars long sort of
stuff
I removed trim_text because the quote trimming was never actually used,
and the space trimming was slower then using the code in trim. I also
micro'd trim to save a bit of time. this saves another maybe 0.5.
Few other things, I think that's the main of it. Gives me the fuzzy
feelings
* Saves 50% of build_coordinate's time
Micro optimizing go brrrrr
I made turf_blacklist an assoc list rather then just a normal one, so
lookups are O(log n) instead of O(n). Also it's faster for the base case
of loading mostly space.
Instead of toggling the map loader right before and right after New()
calls, we toggle at the start of mapload, and disable then reenable if
we check tick. This saves like 0.3 seconds
Rather then tracking an area cache ourselves, and needing to pass it
around, we use a locally static list to reference the global list of
area -> type. This is much faster, if slightly fragile.
Rather then checking for a null turf at every line, we do it at the
start of the proc and not after. Faster this way, tho it can in theory
drop area vvs.
Avoids calling world.preloader_setup unless we actually have a unique
set of attributes. We use another static list to make this comparison
cheap. This saves another 0.3
Rather then checking for area paths in the turf logic, or vis versa, we
assume we are creating the type implied by the index we're reading off.
So only the last type entry will be loaded like a turf, etc.
This is slightly unsafe but saves a good bit of time, and will properly
error on fucked maps.
Also, rather then using a datum to hold preloader vars, we use 2 global
variables. This is faster.
This marks the end of my optimizations for direct maploading. I've
reduced the cost of loading a map by more then 50% now. Get owned.
* Adds a define for maploading tick check
* makes shuttles load again, removes some of the hard limits I had on the reader for profiling
* Macro ops cave generation
Cave generation was insanely more expensive then it had any right to be.
Maybe 0.5 seconds was saved off not doing a range(12) for EVERY SPAWNED
MOB.
0.14 was saved off using expanded weighted lists (A new idea of mine)
This is useful because I can take a weighted list, and condense it into
weight * path count. This is more memory heavy, and costs more to
create, but is so much faster then the proc.
I also added a naive implementation of gcd to make this a bit less bad.
It's not great, but it'll do for this usecase.
Oh and I changed some ChangeTurfs into New()s. I'm still not entirely
sure what the core difference between the two is, but it seems to work
fine.
I believe it's safe because the turf below us hasn't init'd yet, there's
nothing to take from them. It's like 3 seconds faster too so I'll be sad
when it turns out I'm being dumb
* Micros river spawning
This uses the same sort of concepts as the last change, mostly New being
preferable to ChangeTurf at this level of code.
This bit isn't nearly as detailed as the last few, I honestly got a bit
tired. It's still like 0.4 seconds saved tho
* Micros ruin loading
Turns out it saves time if you don't check area type for every tile on a
ruin. Not a whole ton faster, like 0.03, but faster.
Saves even more time (0.1) to not iterate all your ruin's turfs 3 times
to clear away lavaland mobs, when you're IN SPACE who wrote this.
Oh it also saves time to only pull your turf list once, rather then 3
times

simplemob/held-pets (for exactly that -- I wasn't sure if this should go in inhands instead)
species/monkey
Moves the following stuff:
All human parts moved into species, with moth, lizard, monkey, etc parts moved to corresponding subfolders. Previously, there were some moth parts in mob/species/moth, and others just loose in mob. Other species were similar.
icemoon, lavaland, and jungle folders made into subfolders of simplemob
All AI and silicon stuff, as well as Beepsky et al. into the silicon folder, simplemobs into the simplemob folder, aliens into the nonhuman-player folder, etc.
Split up animal_parts.dmi into two bodyparts.dmi which were put in their respective folders (species/alien and species/monkey)
Code changes:
Filepath changes to account for all of this
Adds a check when performing surgery on monkeys and xenos, because we can no longer assume their limbs are in the same file
Turns some hardcoded statues and showcases that were built into maps into objects instead
Things I'd like to do in the future but cant be assed right now:
Remove primarily-antag sprites from simplemob/mob.dmi (Revenant, Morph, etc.) and put them in the nonhuman-player folder
Split up mutant_bodyparts.dmi into different files for Tizirans, Felinids, monkeys, etc and put them in their own folders. Those may have once been meant primarily for mutated humans but that's now how they're being used right now.
Moves singulo and supermatter dmis into obj/engine, renamed from obj/tesla_engine
Moves Halloween, Christmas, and misc holiday items to obj/holiday
Moves lollipops to obj/food
Moves crates, closets, and storage to obj/storage
Moves assemblies to obj/assemblies
Renames decals.dmi to signs.dmi ...because they're signs and not decals
Moves statues, cutouts, instruments, art supplies, and crayons to obj/art
Moves balloons, plushes, toys, cards, dice, the hourglass, and TCG to obj/toys
Moves guns, swords, shields to obj/weapons

The holodeck runtimes if it's not linked to a holodeck area.
When running integration tests on the default CI map, metastation, this is fine because the one created by create_and_destroy just links to the holodeck on-station. This technically would cause problems in a real game since it's a 2-way link, (create_and_destroy breaks the link to the real on-station computer when it does its test) but no unit tests check that.
Unfortunately, runtime and multiz debug don't have holodecks (for good reason, it's completely unnecessary for testing literally anything but specifically the holodeck) and fail CI as a result.
Since the unit test isn't trying to test for the existence of a well-designed recreation area, I've set unit_test/create_and_destroy to ignore the holodeck computer.
Edit: I've added better mapping error handling for this case in the holodeck. I still don't want a pointless mapping error in my CI either so I'm keeping the ignore.

Not player facing.
a month or two ago i realized that on master the reason why get_hearers_in_view() overtimes so much (ie one of our highest overtiming procs at highpop) is because when you transmit a radio signal over the common channel, it can take ~20 MILLISECONDS, which isnt good when 1. player verbs and commands usually execute after SendMaps processes for that tick, meaning they can execute AFTER the tick was supposed to start if master is overloaded and theres a lot of maptick 2. each of our server ticks are only 50 ms, so i started on optimizing this.
the main optimization was SSspatial_grid which allows searching through 15x15 spatial_grid_cell datums (one set for each z level) far faster than iterating over movables in view() to look for what you want. now all hearing sensitive movables in the 5x5 areas associated with each spatial_grid_cell datum are stored in the datum (so are client mobs). when you search for one of the stored "types" (hearable or client mob) in a radius around a center, it just needs to
iterate over the cell datums in range
add the content type you want from the datums to a list
subtract contents that arent in range, then contents not in line of sight
return the list
from benchmarks, this makes short range searches like what is used with radio code (it goes over every radio connected to a radio channel that can hear the signal then calls get_hearers_in_view() to search in the radios canhear_range which is at most 3) about 3-10 times faster depending on workload. the line of sight algorithm scales well with range but not very well if it has to check LOS to > 100 objects, which seems incredibly rare for this workload, the largest range any radio in the game searches through is only 3 tiles
the second optimization is to enforce complex setter vars for radios that removes them from the global radio list if they couldnt actually receive any radio transmissions from a given frequency in the first place.
the third optimization i did was massively reduce the number of hearables on the station by making hologram projectors not hear if dont have an active call/anything that would make them need hearing. so one of hte most common non player hearables that require view iteration to find is crossed out.
also implements a variation of an idea oranges had on how to speed up get_hearers_in_view() now that ive realized that view() cant be replicated by a raycasting algorithm. it distributes pregenerated abstract /mob/oranges_ear instances to all hearables in range such that theres at max one per turf and then iterates through only those mobs to take advantage of type-specific view() optimizations and just adds up the references in each one to create the list of hearing atoms, then puts the oranges_ear mobs back into nullspace. this is about 2x as fast as the get_hearers_in_view() on master
holy FUCK its fast. like really fucking fast. the only costly part of the radio transmission pipeline i dont touch is mob/living/Hear() which takes ~100 microseconds on live but searching through every radio in the world with get_hearers_in_radio_ranges() -> get_hearers_in_view() is much faster, as well as the filtering radios step
the spatial grid searching proc is about 36 microseconds/call at 10 range and 16 microseconds at 3 range in the captains office (relatively many hearables in view), the new get_hearers_in_view() was 4.16 times faster than get_hearers_in_view_old() at 10 range and 4.59 times faster at 3 range
SSspatial_grid could be used for a lot more things other than just radio and say code, i just didnt implement it. for example since the cells are datums you could get all cells in a radius then register for new objects entering them then activate when a player enters your radius. this is something that would require either very expensive view() calls or iterating over every player in the global list and calling get_dist() on them which isnt that expensive but is still worse than it needs to be
on normal get_hearers_in_view cost the new version that uses /mob/oranges_ear instances is about 2x faster than the old version, especially since the number of hearing sensitive movables has been brought down dramatically.
with get_hearers_in_view_oranges_ear() being the benchmark proc that implements this system and get_hearers_in_view() being a slightly optimized version of the version we have on master, get_hearers_in_view_as() being a more optimized version of the one we have on master, and get_hearers_in_LOS() being the raycasting version currently only used for radios because it cant replicate view()'s behavior perfectly.
About The Pull Request
As the title says. Players were able to disable the safety of the holodeck without the console being emagged, and without being a robot.
Why It's Good For The Game
I think it would be interesting to add some sort of replacement to this, like players with high gamer skill could disable the safety.

fix: Fixes an exploit that allowed players to disable holodeck safety without following the proper conditions

Turfs have a variable, intact, which conflates three meanings:
Determining whether there's something that can be pried out, such as directly with a crowbar or indirectly with a tile stack and a crowbar off-hand.
Determining whether underfloor pieces are visible.
Determining whether underfloor pieces can be interacted with - by players with tools, through interaction with effects like chemical acid, or foam.
When plating is hit with a stack of tiles, /turf/open/floor/attackby checks whether the turf is intact, and if so, ends the attack chain regardless of whether or not the attempt to hotswap a turf (with a crowbar) is successful or not. However, turfs which want the underfloor to be visible - such as catwalks and glass - set the intact variable to FALSE, and so can be repeatedly placed over one another, as if they were the first tile to be placed over the plating.
This refactors /turf/var/intact into two distinct variables:
/turf/var/overfloor_placed, for whether or not there is something over plating.
/turf/var/underfloor_visible, for whether or not the various underfloor pieces should be invisible, visible, or both visible and interactable.
All references to /turf/var/intact have been replaced with an equivalent overfloor_placed or underfloor_visible reference, depending on which check is appropriate. underfloor_accessibility can take one of UNDERFLOOR_HIDDEN, UNDERFLOOR_VISIBLE, or UNDERFLOOR_INTERACTABLE. This prevents cases such as acid foam or tools phasing through glass floors to affect the underfloor pieces underneath, and covers all kinds of unusual, not-wiring-visiblity usage such as Holodeck completeness, Revenant interaction, or station integrity checking.
bring code up to latest standards, move many procs to named files inside _HELPERS
no idea where to put some of these procs, help is appreciated
made more files to contain some unique code, deleted unsorted.dm, we can rest now
## About The Pull Request
stop forgetting to include mapload, if you don't include it then every single subtype past it by default doesn't include it
for example, `obj/item` didn't include mapload so every single item by default didn't fill in mapload
## Regex used:
procs without args, not even regex
`/Initialize()`
procs with args
`\/Initialize\((?!mapload)((.)*\w)?`
cleanup of things i didn't want to mapload:
`\/datum\/(.)*\/Initialize\(mapload`
original pr here: #59789 (Closed because he didn't think it was good enough)
came back to this because i realized that
all machines were area sensitive, meaning they had a list with at least a reference to themselves (assuming they arent in the contents of another movable which most arent) for the purposes of handling power differences when their area changes
pipes are machines
there are ~14k machines and ~6k pipes
i made this problem worse with a recent pr by making it a nested list
so i needed to track what machines needed power, and this pr had work already done that could be used for that purpose. now machines that have use_power == NO_POWER_USE do not have this extra memory overhead for no reason
currently every machine that uses power draws that amount from its area from a dynamic channel via auto_use_power() which is called every SSmachines fire(), then in apc/process() the area's dynamic power draw is reset and the power is used. with static power its not calculated then reset every loop, its just taken from the grid. so now machines handle updating their static power usage from their current area (this doesnt touch power machines that require a wire connection). in order to allow this, use_power, idle_power_usage, and active_power_usage have setters to track state correctly and update the static power usage on the machines current area and handle area sensitivity.
also goes through a lot of heavy abusers of SSmachine processing time and tries to make it faster. makes airalarm/process() into a signal handler for COMSIG_TURF_EXPOSE since air alarms only need to process for changes.
Why It's Good For The Game
SSmachines isnt the heaviest hitter in terms of total cpu and certainly not in terms of overtime, but its not a lightweight. it frequently takes > 50ms to complete a run and seems to be in the top 5 or so of subsystem costs looking at some round profilers
also gets rid of a few thousand lists since every pipe no longer has two useless lists each (and any other machines that dont use power)

This PR kills off the transforming subtype of /obj/item/melee and replaces it with a component to handle the transforming behavior, /datum/component/transforming.
The transforming component handles updating the variables of an item when it's transformed. Things like force, sharpness, whetstone force bonus, and attack verbs. Similar to the two-handed component, but instead of transforming into a two-hander it remains a one handed weapon.
The "nemesis" behavior (dealing addition damage to certain factions) of the transforming subtype was moved to the cleaving saw only, since it was the only transforming item that used it. In the future, this can be made into a bespoke element/component as well.
The following weapons and items have been updated to use this component:
Energy Swords / Sabers / Bananium Energy Sword
Energy Circular Saw
Energy Dagger
Energy Axe
Toy Energy Sword
Holographic Energy Sword
Switchblade
Advanced Medical Tools (Laser scalpel, Mechanical Pinches, Searing Tool)
Advanced Engineering Tools (Hand Drill, Jaws of Life / Syndicate Jaws of Life)
Combat Wrench
Cleaving Saw
Telescopic Batons / Contractor Batons
Roasting Stick
Telescopic Riot Shield
Energy Shield / Bananium Energy Shield
This PR also touches up the code around the various above items.
turns out mobs spawned from holodeck spawners dont get registered for qdeletion, now they do. hard dels btfo
hard dels are poo poo and holodeck issues are definitely 100x worse
Converts most spans into span procs. Mostly used regex for this and sorted out any compile time errors afterwards so there could be some bugs.
Was initially going to do defines, but ninja said to make it into a proc, and if there's any overhead, they can easily be changed to defines.
Makes it easier to control the formatting and prevents typos when creating spans as it'll runtime if you misspell instead of silently failing.
Reduces the code you need to write when writing spans, as you don't need to close the span as that's automatically handled by the proc.
(Note from Lemon: This should be converted to defines once we update the minimum version to 514. Didn't do it now because byond pain and such)
Sourced from #59118 and a cursed project I'll pr later, This pr contains a lot of harddel fixes for stuff that pops up after a player interacts with something. I'm not gonna list them all here because there's something like 60 130, check the commit log if you're curious
Oh and I moved ref tracking screaming to a separate define, and made some optimizations to the thing in general. I think that's it, this pr is a bit of a frankenstine
decals were hard deleting whenever you loaded a holodeck program with them because it wasnt taking them out of the spawned list, now it does that. also goes around holodeck code and changes for loops to as anything and puts in better var names.
also since its been a while since i looked at holodeck code, the thing could really use a better rewrite one of these days.
