About The Pull Request
This PR add "Bluespace Navigation Gigabeacon" that shuttles can use as a target for the jump computer.
You can customize locked status by multitool or name of beacons by multitool with unscrewed beacon.
If you, or emp, lock beacon you are still able see it in choice list like a "Locked" destination, but unable to jump to it.
Why It's Good For The Game
Now any spacemen can construct their own Space station on any Z lvl (that not reserved, centcom, away mission) and dock (by custom dock) his ship to it.
Now we actially have some shuttles that have ability to place custom dock.
That one is whiteship, but only if its not UFO, 4 ships in caravan ambush(for 2 need sindycate access), +1 for nuclear ops(sindycate access), but dont forgot that Admins can spawn "navigation computer" to any shuttle.).
Lavaland safari likers now can land anywhere where they can fit a ship, on lava, basalt, and plating turfs, also asteroid.
I drop some bombs to clear spot and land to lavaland.
http://recordit.co/qN10qfuift
Here i create dry dock near station and dock ship into it.
http://recordit.co/R4kXqN8rnt
all walls and other floors are forbidden to prevent you landing on the station
possibly more random gibberish?)
maybe change plating to reinforced (engine) floor.
Navigation computer now use trait blacklist to filter out z levels to where it can't place custom dock.
This make easy to add new z lvls where it can place dock.
Adds a new abductor themed shuttle to the game, available for 8k
credits! The shuttle is only unlocked after alien technology has been
researched!
The shuttle offers some unique items and layout compared to others
currently available. Two singular entrances with the brig in the back
means security needs to walk prisoners to the brig area to secure them.
Unique unlock mechanism encourages either bringing alien tech back from
Lavaland or stealing some from an abductor.
A few unique items aboard, including alien tools, the experimental
cloner, and a void core can provide interesting opportunity if utilized
in the window of time that the shuttle is on station.
VTEC is currently broken (as in, completely non functional) and, quite
frankly, it wouldn't be very healthy for the game if it weren't. A -2
speedmod is no joke. What's more fun than no damage slowdown borg?
That's right, one with a movespeed -2 modifier.
About The Pull Request & Why
Dissection (Prev Experimental Dissection) Is Now Roundstart
Goal:give medbay a task they can do outside of normal healing on the off chance they're overstaffed and/or are in need of work.
Dissection (Prev Experimental Dissection) Is Now Tiered
Goal: I'm still not seeing competition in the medical tree that I'd like to see. Now that science benefits from going to this tree, I expect it to be a prominent if not the main pick.
Goal: Provide Medical bargaining power with Science. Want you cool gear bros? Better indulge us a bit if you want us to farm corpses.
NOTE: You will NOT be punished for doing low tiered surgeries then unlocking further tiers. It adjusts your rewards depending on if the body has been experimented on before and gives you the difference, it will not block you from doing the surgery entirely.
Repeatability
Goal: Make it less balanced around the all/nothing mechanic and more with rewarding constantly running the surgery.
Failing the surgery will give you a pity amount (1%, something slightly more than none in grand scheme) but more importantly will NOT add the trait that disables you from using that body for the surgery again.
Silicons can now perform dissection
Since It's not All/Nothing I decided to allow silicons to be able to help out. This is the first (and only) surgery that they can potentially fail.
Nerfs (yikes!)
Needed to nerf it to compensate for the fact that it was now roundstart. The hardest one was pointgain. I decided to mega nerf it so tiered would be desired. This was also a result in the shift of balance off the RNG and more on the repeatability.
Dissection Can Now Be Performed on ANY LIVING MOB
Goal: Cooperation between Mining (returning Mobs) and Medbay (turning these mobs into points)
The foundation is really lacking imo since I didn't want to dance around with numbers in this PR. Currently all mobs that aren't human and aren't explicitly listed in check_value are 300 points per surgery.
I hope you guys can add more mobs to the pool with better rewards (imagine dissecting the dragon for science!)
Dissection Surgery Minor Edits
Step Configuration Edit
Needed to change just for repeatability in the dissect step (didn't like the end step being the proceeding step).
I replaced the incision step with a post-dissection clamp step to keep the theme of scalpel > hemo (dissection uses scalpel)
Implement Changes / Probability Effects
Rewards using the researched tools (further integrates medsci coop), lowers standard gear to appropriately balance higher tiers.
MISC
Prices are Define Bound
Everything is relative to a single number via calculating off a define instead of independent values. Balance discussion shifts from "Is X number fair" to a more tangible "Is this mob worth X times the amount of a normal human". If everything is strong/low we can just edit a single number!
Let me know if there's any undoc'd changes!
Changelog
cl Cobby x Medbay
balance: (Experimental) Dissection is now roundstart.
balance: (Experimental) Dissection is now tiered and give higher point outputs than their predecessors.
add: All living mobs with corpses can be dissected.
code: Attention, all ss13 gamers! I need YOUR help adding mobs to the pool so they don't get the lame 60% of normal human pricing! You can dissect DRAGONS FOR CRY IT OUT LOUD!
balance: You are NOT punished for doing the lower tier surgeries then unlocking higher ones!
add: Borgs can perform dissection but they are not 100% successful.
tweak: Shifts balance of dissection surgery towards spammability vs. rng mechanic.
balance: All point rewards are severely nerfed to promote doing this multiple times (since it's now available from the getgo).
tweak: If you fail the dissection step, you get a pity reward (1% credits) and can repeat the step until you successfully dissect the being.
tweak: Lowered probabilty of success on default tools, increased probability for researched tools.
tweak: removed 2nd incision step, added clamp step post dissection (repeatability purposes).

Adds the Quantum Spin Inverter device to the science protolathe under
the Miniaturized Bluespace node. Basically a remote that swaps the
user with its connected twin, along with any movable containers, like
lockers.
Another fancy teleportation gadget to use in some creative way. An
important element it has is that it teleports its containers as well,
meaning that for example you can hide it in a box inside a bag
somewhere, and trigger its twin when someone picks it up for an easy
kidnapping.
* Adds adjustLiverLoss & getLiverLoss procs to carbon
* Adds trophazole
Adds trophazole, a brute healer that makes doctors take a more holistic approach to heal, It is highly reagent efficient by converting nutriment to healing peptides. Creates an avenue for cooperation between kitchen and medbay.
* Adds rhigoxane
Rhigoxane is a chilly burn healer that works best in a spray bottle and is capable of extinguishing fires.
* Adds thializid
This tox healer has great potential and mixability, balanced by requiring the doctor to take note of the patients liver health as well as using proper dilution and an iv pole; that wont fit in a powergamers pocket.
* Charcoal + trans_to changes
Makes charcoal only work when ingested, and adds a new proc in reagent holder, lets trans_to react the transferred reagents if a method is chosen.
* Medical + Syndicate spray bottles
Medical spray bottles have been added to techweb under the biotech node for medical vapor application, alt click to change their skin.
Two suspicious spray bottles have been added as expensive contraband items in the chemdrobe. They have one extra spray range and a random suspicious skin from a pool of 8.
The large spray bottle and the space cleaner bottle also have new icons.
In addition trophazole and MMF have new colors.
* Adds chempacks
the IV medicine bag, or chem pack is the blood pack analogue for chems, it is easy to fill like a beaker but can also be permanently sealed to prevent spillage and mitigate tampering. It can be renamed with a pen. Both the new chem pack and the old blood pack have been added to the medical lathe and biotech node.
* Adds recipes to thializid and trophazole
Also fixes the rhigoxane recipe
* Medsprays are now medigels + fixes
chem packs can now be stored in the smartfridge and chem bag.
Medsprays were renamed medigels to reduce confusion. Calling them medical sprays made no sense since they apply chems through the patch method.
The lore for the new medigels is that they spray a thick gel onto the skin that dries into a film.
* minor fixes + mint frosting
I have tried to fix the problems people have pointed out. And the peptides now taste like mint frosting.
* Readds my cleaner sprites
* Adds liver damage to thializid + adds on_transfer proc
Thializid has a liver cost, the cost is worse if you have already sustained liver damage. Fixes weirdness by moving the reagent conversion effects from reaction_mob to on_transfer
* Fixes chem bag examine
The chem bag examine now werks, also fixed a typo in the description.
* Adds a clumsy check to sealing the chem pack
* Makes kelo, bicard and anti-tox unmixable.
I have retained the tricord recipe for now in case someone manages to collect all 3 through non-dispenser means. Think of it like collecting all the dragon balls but lame.
* Makes damp rag apply on_transfer effects
* glass and food now work with trophazole
glasses and food now call the on_transfer proc via trans_to
* Another round of fixes
Replaces 0/1 values with TRUE/FALSE where appropriate. Removes the debug printout from the spray bottle reskin. Replaces one instance of L.damage with C.GetLiverLoss().
* Rhigoxane recipe is now COOLER
200k was too warm since cryostylane cools down so much by itself upon mixing.
Now the chemist has to choose between adding oxygen for instant cooling or using the heater/cooler to conserve energy.
* Removes the seal() proc and moves its guts into AltClick
* Item_state switching moved to reskin_obj
* Fixes missing medical sprayer left inhand
the sprayer_med_yellow inhand sprite now has the correct name.
* Fixes inhand updating
* Update code/modules/mob/living/carbon/damage_procs.dm

About The Pull Request
Overhauls the gui for the Research Sever controller (see below), and adds a bit more info about each server. Allows the RD, or anyone with related access, to shut off servers and thus disable point generation (emag to bypass access restriction). Adds temperature readout for each server, for fluff and possibly future relevance. Servers are listed as "Offline" if they are under EMP effects or have no power. Servers now have a random four-digit hex number following their name, to help tell them apart.
Adds a full list of all research history in a table below the server readout on the server controller, sorted with the newest on top. Lists the name of tech, cost, name of the researcher, and the location they researched from.
Adds in code to mark servers without power as not working. This seems like an unnoticed bug, to be honest.
Animates the working server sprite, and adds a disabled and powered-off sprite.
The "research_log" list variable for /datum/techweb is commented as being meant for IC use, and was being updated already, but as far as I can tell was never used anywhere. So I have re-organized it a bit to feed the prior-mentioned table of research history.
Why It's Good For The Game
Gives the RD a light bit more control over research, allows them to cut off passive point generation if people piss them off, and gives purpose to the server controller console.
Changelog
cl
add: The R&D Server Controller console now lists the entire research history, including names of people who researched each item and locations it was done from.
add: The R&D Server Controller console can now be used to disable the servers if someone makes the RD upset.
fix: Fixed the R&D servers working without power.
imageadd: R&D server sprites are now slightly animated, and new sprites have been added for when the server is disabled or off.

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.
I wanted to get this up next day but I kept falling asleep before finishing what I wanted to

Fixes some issues that have been brought to my attention with smart cables
Closes#44768Closes#44775
Why It's Good For The Game
this shit pretty broke as is in game.
Changelog
cl
fix: removed mech rcl from the research node so it stops spamming a warning in log
fix: cables now disconnect machines when cut
fix: terminal linking/not linking behavior with smeses has been improved
fix: couple of small mapping fixes
tweak: changed cable coils back to 30
tweak: changed the box smes room a little to prevent stacking terminals
tweak: removed the rpcl from engineering on every map because it's not used for wiring anymore
/cl
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.
cl actioninja and wjohn
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.

Makes mops printable.
Why It's Bad For The Game
Excuse me, you can't just print out more mops. A mere autolathe could not even begin to understand the advanced science underpinning the mopping marvel you see before you. These super mops utilize GPS positioning to accurately and intelligently wipe away stains with surgical precision. They also incorporate the latest in synergistic machine learning to identify messes from stains to save you time and money. The smart hydration technology found in these sublime mopping units conserves water, minimizing time wasted on wringing, yet at the same time holds huge volumes of water. The ergonomically designed handle doubles as a self-defense tool, because it's a dangerous station out there and Nanotrasen has your back. Even the top of the mop was painstakingly crafted to be compatible with janicarts. Do you have any idea how difficult that was? People have lost there lives in pursuit of better mopping and yet you seem blissfully unaware of the sacrifices required. Frankly you should be thankful to even get these miracles of modern science at all, and now you want a lowly autolathe to print out more of them by claiming they are "just mops"? How dare you. I demand you apologize. Not to me, not to Nanotrasen, not even to the engineers and scientists who spent countless thankless hours developing the latest in mopping technology. No, you must apologize to the mop itself. Once you admit that this mop is a crowning achievement of humanity, truly the pinnacle of all that we are and ever will be, then you will be forgiven and allowed to gaze upon this mop, much less hold or even use one ever again. Repent, sinner.

About The Pull Request
I made a machine board for the PDA message server and added it to the telecomms techweb node. To keep the usefulness of the machine's password, a player built message server won't work until 15 minutes after construction. I've also converted a lot of magic numbers to defines, and changed the departmentType var on request consoles into a bitflag.
I'm open to ideas other than a time gate when it comes to keeping the server password's usefulness.
Why It's Good For The Game
You can't build a Message Server right now. If it's destroyed, PDAs may be knocked out for the rest of the round.
Changelog

About The Pull Request
Adds a new device, the nanite communication remote, which can be built from any protolathe once Basic Nanite Research is completed.
The Skull Echo, Forced Speech, and Hallucination programs can now be signaled by this new device to receive custom messages, instead of having to set them manually every time.
To do so, these programs must be set with a Comm Code, which will have to be signaled by a comm remote with the same Comm Code. A Comm Code of 0 is not signalable by remotes and will only work in the old way. If instead you want the program to be only activatable by remote, you must set the trigger code to 0.
Why It's Good For The Game
Makes these programs more elastic in use, allowing for example nanite-delivered private communication via Skull Echo, or actively messing up conversations with forced speech.
Changelog
clXDTM
add: Added a new device, the nanite communication remote, which can be used to send custom messages to message-based nanite programs.
