About The Pull Request
Adds an ammo system and printable ammunition to most mech weapons with a "rearm" function. Replaces the old system of generating ammo at a power cost. With the exception of the missile launcher and clusterbang launcher, all affected weapons have a storage capacity of ammunition equal to four-times the amount of ammo that the weapon can load (though the storage cache starts with only one full reload when printed from the mechfab). Ammo boxes are printed from the mechfab and also are available in the Sec protolathe, and each box will carry exactly one full reload. Ammo boxes are not terribly expensive, but reloading requires either an ally on foot to pop the ammo box in, or for you to hop out and do it yourself.
Missile tubes and the clusterbang launcher do not have an ammo storage cache, and so reloading them will reload the tubes directly. This is not the full extent of nerfs that the missiles need (I will do those in a separate PR since I suspect this one will be controversial) (read below), but removing the ability to reload missile pods without an ally or exiting the mech may help a bit.
The SRM-8 has been replaced with the new BRM-6 in tech webs. The BRM carries a smaller explosion and does not explode unless hitting a wall, door, shutter, or another mech, and only has six shots. The SRM-8 remains on the Mauler mech. If the BRM missile does not explode, it will deal 30 brute damage instead, and break.
Why It's Good For The Game
Currently, mech ballistic weapons function like reloadable lasers. You have an ammo counter, but it's one hundred percent based on your energy cell. This gives some flavor to ballistic weapons, making them actually feel different, and gives them a mini-niche in the form of good choices to use alongside an energy-draining mech ability (like the Gygax speed).
Use lasers when you won't need to worry about power and/or need burn damage.
Use ballistics when you want to save power and/or need brute damage.
The SRM-8 to BRM-6 change is being done here so that I don't have to wait until this PR is merged before starting it. The idea is to keep the reasons why you'd want to build a missile launcher (wall breaking and mech fighting) without also outclassing most other weapons burst damage potential. I'm not truly happy that the explosions deal zero damage to surrounding people even one tile away, but dealing no damage is better than the massive damage + stun that the current missile launcher does. Nuke Mauler has the old launcher, since I believe the consensus is that Nukie Mechs are already not generally worth the money.
Changelog
cl
balance: Mecha ballistics weapons now require ammo created from an Exosuit Fabricator or the Security Protolathe, though they will start with a full magazine and in most cases enough for one full reload. Reloading these weapons no longer chunks your power cell. Clown (and mime) mecha equipment have not changed.
balance: The SRM-8 Missile Launcher has been replaced with the BRM-6 Breaching Missile Launcher in techwebs (Nukie Mauler remains equipped with the SRM-8).
balance: Both Missile Launchers and the Clusterbang Launcher do not have an ammo cache, and cannot be reloaded by the pilot. Once the initial loaded ammo has been spent, you can use the appropriate ammo box to load the weapon directly.
add: Utility mechs that have a clamp equipped can load ammo from their own cargo hold into other mechs.
add: Nuke Ops can purchase spare ammo duffel bags for their mecha weapons, should they run low.
/cl
To-Do:
Add ammo to security protolathe
Get better ammo box sprites (hopefully)
Possibly adjust ammo counts for balance. Might make the flashbang launcher and/or cluster launcher behave like the missile pod.
Add functionality for the utility mechs to use clamps to load ammo from their cargo hold into another mech.
Ammo counts, for anyone wondering:
Weapon Magazine Size Total ammo at start* Maximum total ammo*
Scattershot† 40 (10) 80 (20) 200 (50)
Hades 24 48 120
Ultra AC 2† 300 (100) 600 (200) 1500 (500)
BRM-6 Missile Rack 6 6 6
SRM-8 Missile Rack 8 8 8
Flashbang Launcher 6 12 30
Cluster Launcher 3 3 3
*Total ammo is the amount in the weapon's magazine plus the stored ammo.
†The Scattershot lists its ammo as 40, but uses four per shot. So in reality, a single full reload gives you ten shots. Similarly, the UAC2 fires in three-round bursts, and so 300 rounds is 100 bursts.
Clown weapons (and the mime weapon) are all unaffected by this change.
Cables now autoconnect on cardinal directions. All cable placement has been completely stripped out and replaced with simple single cable per tile logic.
Low effort demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXp8s6ORWbA
Yes I am aware that cutting it is not dropping wire, that version was bugged.
Cables no longer need a knot specifically placed to link to power objects. The sprite is automatically changed to represent this.
The only exception to this logic is that on smes units, due to the terminal being next to the output, they will not link there.
On a technical powernet side, this is the same as old cables once actually placed. They still use the existing powernet system, just the placement and connection works differently.
Old cables have been turned into "pipe cleaners" for wire art purposes. they work just like the old ones, just missing all the powernet functionality, and also you can put them on top of the floor.
Why It's Good For The Game
How obnoxious cables were to both map and work with in game has been something that has annoyed me for a really long time now.
This is both easier for new players to learn, and easier for experienced players to work with.
Along with making in game much more intuitive and easier, it makes mapping much easier as well. Mad lad wjohn was able to rip out all the mapping conversion in one day because of how much faster it is to work with.

add: Cables have been completely reworked. Simple per tile connection logic, automatically connects to things above it. Think minecraft redstone.
add: Old cables have been kept as pipe cleaner. They are non-functional in terms of power, but otherwise have the same connection logic. Also can go on top of tiles.
remove: mech cable layer has been removed because it was terrible shitcode nobody used
tweak: (sort of balance) cable stack sized has been reduced to 15.

Nukes the hybrid taser from orbit. Everywhere that spawned it now provides a disabler instead. Standard sec issue? Disabler. Armory? Disabler rack.
Want something with more punch? Beg the warden for a shotgun or an energy gun.
The hybrid taser itself has not been removed from the codebase.
Also removes the stun from the advanced energy gun so it doesn't just become the late game secret powerhouse.
Hoslaser keeps it, but only gets three shots instead of five.
The ebow has been COMPLETELY RUINED as well. See the changelog for details I'm too lazy to copypaste.
Why It's Good For The Game
Fuck stun based combat.
Sec still have their stunbatons, collapsible batons still exist, pepperspray still exists, flashbangs still exist. but now any fight involving sec or anyone who has robusted a sec officer will be less ranged instastun bullshittery.

cl
balance: New NT regulations have replaced the standard issue hybrid taser with a pure disabler.
balance: Also fuck the stun mode on the advanced energy gun who thought that was a good idea.
balance: The hos's laser can only fire three taser shots instead of five.
balance: Energy crossbows have been reworked. They no longer paralyze, but instead heavily blur vision, apply a huge burst of stamina damage, and knock you on your ass for one second. Two shots is enough to down someone from stamina crit on both the mini and large versions. The blur lasts for 10 seconds.
balance: The price of the mini ebow has been reduced to 10TC to compensate for this weaker effect.
tweak: The ED-209 is now built with a DRAGnet and fires netshot instead of taser bolts.
balance: Stunshells can no longer be produced in any lathe.
balance: The "pacifier" mech taser can no longer be built.

refactor: Ballistic guns have been almost entirely reworked from a backend side. This primarily focused on moving as much as possible into the base ballistic gun and turning as many other guns into essentially varedits as possible.
add: Guns can now be racked. This is the default action unless the magazine is empty.
add: Guns now can have the magazine removed by clicking on them with an open hand while they are in hand.
tweak: Suppressors are now removed by alt clicking instead of clicking with an open hand
add: Guns now have various bolt types that all function a bit differently. Open bolts cannot have a bullet chambered with no mag, locking bolts lock back after running out of ammo, etc.
add: All ballistic gun sounds are controlled by variables instead of hardcoded usages.
tweak: The l6 LMG has a reworked control scheme. alt + click to open and close the cover, open hand to remove mag, place mag in by slapping them together, default action is rack.
tweak: Functionality that used to be snowflake code such as tactical reloads has been moved to the base gun, and can be toggled by variables.
refactor: All shotguns are now properly subpaths of the shotgun type. They still work the same.
imagedel: Gun sprites have been almost entirely overhauled to use overlays instead of states. This collapsed the L6 sprite from 20 sprites to 9 sprites to give an example.
soundadd: Remixed versions of the shotgun and base gun firesound
soundadd: New rifle firesound for l6 and moist nugget, new SMG fire sound, new sniper fire sound.
soundadd: Lots of new weapon operation sounds such as racking and bolts and the like.
imageadd: New sprites for the Riot Shotgun, Combat Shotgun, c20r, Deagle, m90, double barrel shotgun and 1911 by Memager.
imageadd: All gun sprites that were pointing to the left have been flipped to point to the right.

fix: Smuggler's satchels can now be found with t-ray scanners, as
intended.
/🆑Fixes#42296.
I used a trait because currently this is the only object that I'm aware
of that uses partial invisibility (because it wants to be visible to
ghosts), and it seems a waste to dedicate an entire obj_flag to one
item, or put a hardcoded typepath.

add: Santa can now examine presents to see what's inside.
del: Santa no longer has a mass summon presents spell, because of his
new regenerating bag!
add: Santa's bag regenerates presents as long as Santa is holding it.
balance: You can only find one gift under a christmas tree per round, no
matter how many trees you search.
balance: Santa's teleport does not announce where he's going.
fix: Fixed Santa not having a full head and beard of white hair.
fix: Fixed Santa not being genetically white-haired.
fix: Fixed Concentrated Barber's Aid not growing extreme amounts of
hair.
/🆑
The `box` var has been moved down from `/datum/outfit/job` to
`/datum/outfit`.
Added unlimited christmas tree with presents, for testing.
Santa's restriction against opening presents is now done by
TRAIT_CANNOT_OPEN_PRESENTS. Santa's ability to see inside presents is
done by the TRAIT_PRESENT_VISION, which also determines if Santa's Bag
will regenerate presents every 30 to 60 seconds.
Santa no longer starts with a breath mask and O2 tank, but instead has
an internals box. Santa no longer has a no-access gold ID, he can
teleport from room to room!
Gifts determine what type is inside them on initialization, rather than
when unwrapped.
- Reasoning -
Unlike last year, there are various possible methods of accessing
christmas trees spawners, allowing for an unlimited number of anything
presents. Cutting down the presents to one per round regardless of tree
count will avoid this.
Santa should be able to see what he's giving, because then he can reward
the naughty and nice children with different gifts.
* Missed a merge
* Adds present investigate logs, and visible messages
* Use the body+mind checking of mob.has_trait
* Less globals, more static vars on types; also event renaming
