Bileworms are a new lavaland monster, that has unique AI that should prove them.
Instead of moving normally, it periodically burrows underground and resurfaces nearby.
Its attack is an AOE acid spit.

About The Pull Request
Yup. That's pretty much it. This PR adds the Mothroach to the game, described as "An ancient ancestor of the moth that surprisingly looks like the crossbreed of a moth and a cockroach."
Do you love the Mothroach? Then you can cuddle with it and pat it, as well as place it on your head for extra cuteness.
What if you hate it, though? You can always kill and butcher Mothroaches in order to mass produce moth plushes for your own profit... How fun!
Either way, you win!
The Mothroach can be picked up and has a special on-head sprite (which looks really cute). It is able to vent-crawl and you may get one by randomly summoning a friendly mob through the gold slime extracts, or by ordering one through the Cargo Requests. After butchered, you may use its hide, a heart, and some cloth to craft a moth plushie, the most devilish of Devil's designs.

In-hand, on-head, and grounded Mothroach sprite credits go to ValuedEmployee.
I did the Mothroach hide sprite though!
Why It's Good For The Game
The Mothroach is incredibly cute and a neat, fresh, new piece of content. Although it could use some future repurposing, right now it's simply a cute exotic pet with a few interactions.
These cute sprites are just too good to go to waste...
I keep seeing people complain about the lack of new content. Well, here's something niche that won't break the whole balance of the game and that will be cute. I seriously cannot see a motive not to add this to the game. Just because it isn't a powergaming tool or something that is seen every shift, that doesn't mean that it won't have a positive influence on the game. As I have stated, right now the Mothroaches are underperforming in terms of interactions and ways of getting them, but adding them is the first step to later improve them.
Changelog

About The Pull Request
replaces a ton of log_game with user.log_message so the log is added to individual and global logs.
adds a few logs for individual LOG_VICTIM, LOG_ATTACK etc logging.
adds logging for bluespace launchpad's tele coords being changed.
took the word "has" out of log_combat, as it's extra and just lengthens the log.
Why It's Good For The Admins
It's extremely laggy to open game.txt so an alternative is individual game logs
Changelog
cl
admin: A lot of game logs will now also be in individual game logs, for convenience in log diving.
admin: Added logging for bluespace launchpad x and y offset changes, which go to individual game logs.
admin: Attack logs will now be slightly shorter, one useless word was removed.

About The Pull Request
Currently, when playing recorded audio on the universal recorder, whenever it skips over silence it displays 10 times the actual length of the silence. This is because the var responsible, "playsleepseconds", is actually a value in deciseconds. This PR simply converts from deciseconds to seconds when printing the "skipping silence" message, without touching the underlying functionality.
01
Before: incorrect time value reported
02
After: correct time value reported
Why It's Good For The Game
This bug makes the universal recorder's playback slightly confusing, as it reports incredibly long silences where there were none. Having the bug fixed makes this feature work properly.
Changelog
cl
fix: Universal recorder now properly reports length of silence in seconds instead of deciseconds

The decals from decal painters and tile sprayers are identical to the ones from roundstart, except they're washable. This is good for if you need to undo or erase mistakes. Or to janicart clown nonsense quickly. But it sucks if you're trying to cement some proper borders and queue arrows and whatnot in.
So, they now are not washable, but instead you crowbar the floor tiles up, just like with map-start decals.
Also added ink level meter for toner cartridges.
Also, replaced my previous half-effort "white" and "black" tile sprayer colors with neutral and dark. Makes neutral and bar burgundy use the correct unusual alpha values as with the real ones.
Why It's Good For The Game
So that these aesthetic improvements aren't accidentally wiped by the janitor cleaning up.
As well, the extremely common neutral tile overlays can now be painted.
Changelog
cl
add: The results of the tile sprayer and decal painter can now only be removed by crowbarring the tile, just like map-start.
fix: Tile sprayer's "white" replaced with "neutral", the most common tile overlay color.

* puzzle doors (such as the ones in the nukie outpost) have overpowering move resist, preventing stuff like Mauler mechs from pushing it, bypassing the need for a key.
You now left click to climb up and right click to climb down a ladder. A delay of 1 second has also been added, since otherwise it'd take only one click to immediately move vertically and would be much more spammable.
Ghosts still use the old radials, because their right clicks are bound to the default byond popup menu.
* Replaces many instances of GetComponents in mining items with signals and better uses overall of Components, in drills and the GPS handcuffs.
* To do this, also added 3 new signals to mechs when you are adding/removing mech equipment onto one.
