Hey there,
Now that every instance of `req_access` and `req_one_access` is a list
of strings, there is absolutely no reason for
req_access_txt/req_access_one_txt to exist. In fact, any instance where
they were still used in the codebase was very convoluted and was very
broken! Don't worry, I fixed it all out, and life is good.
I also dmdoc the surviving access variables, because those were missing.
I went on the side of caution and made a more verbose documentation with
an example just to have people really grasp this (it took me a while to
actually get it)
I believe that we changed _everything_ over to the
req_access/req_one_access system earlier this year in VV, but the
problem is that _new mappers don't understand the difference between the
two systems_. In fact, the "txt" system is completely redundant since
all it does is transition stuff to the "base" system. So, let's just
completely cull the one that's all but deprecated and ensure this
confusion no longer arises. The whole purpose of "txt" seemed to be to
convert the access, but it's all pointless now that we can just read the
list directly.
I'm also 99% certain that the "access check" on vending machines broke
(and didn't seem to have correct logic in the first place? I
legitimately couldn't find a case where it could fail in testing, so I
changed that up), and that's fixed up now. Let me know if I was clueless
there. I know it's short-circuiting now as opposed to "all must be
true", but it just didn't work.

## About The Pull Request
You know the deal by now.
- Drowsiness is now tracked via status effect.
- Eye blue is now tracked via status effect.
In converting these over, cleaned up a bit of code relating to some
other effects. Attempts to unify behavior between some of them, namely
certain biotypes or mob types shouldn't be experiencing certain effects.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More stuff moved to status effects, slightly more cleaner and better to
work with code. Allows for all mobs that can sleep to be able to get
drowsy, too.

## 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.

Rack parts now use get_turf instead of loc when being constructed from
your hands. Loc would be the user rather than a valid location, and the
rack parts would be consumed, meaning you lose your rack parts and get

they all appear to be working fine other than this one instance.

while obviously a lot of the time makeshift surgery IS about harming
someone else its inconsistent with how all other surgery tools function
and also isn't very clear at all. the screentip in addition to having

[Saves 0.2 seconds of init time. 50% of emissive
blockers](8318b648f6)
Emissive blockers are a decent expense during init, even these, which
are the ones that update outside of initialize.
I've inlined them, removed some redundant vars and checks, reduced the
arg count, and shifted some things around. This ends up saving 200ms, or
50% of its total cost.
I also shifted mutable_appearance about a bit. it's not a massive
saving, but it is technically faster
[Prevents a few redundant appearance_updates, saves 0.8 seconds of
init](5475cd778b)
Prequisit info: update_appearance is decently expensive
It's good then to only do it if we have a reason to, right?
Me and moth were shooting the shit about just general init time, and we
came up with the idea of tracking which update_appearances actually
"worked" and which didn't.
That bit comes later, let's enjoy the fruits of that work first
First, holograms were calling update_appearance on process, for almost
no reason.
I patched the one event they don't already "react" to, and then locked
it behind a change decection if.
good for live, doesn't impact init.
Next, decals. If you add a decal to something before it inits, it'll
react to the after successful init signal.
The trouble is the same atom could have its appearance updated from this
MORE then once, since decals can be stacked on tiles, and signal
unregisters don't work once the signal is sent.
So we add a flag to track if we've had this happen to us or not, so it
only happens once.
saves 80 ms
Power! lots of things call power_change on init, often more then once.
We'll update appearance for each of those calls, even if only one is an
actual change.
That's silly, better to track what sort of power we're using for our
appearance and go off that changing
This was taking about 300ms. Really stupid
Icon smoothing. After emissive blockers were added, any change to
something's icon smoothing would lead to an update_appearance call.
Nasty shit, specially cause of walls, which don't even use emissive
blockers.
Ok then, so we'll always update appearance for movables, and will allow
turfs that are interested to hook it manually.
Not many of those anyhow
This is slightly a dev ux thing, but it saves 600ms so I think it's
worth it. Rare case anyway
Telecomms:
telecomm machines were updating appearance on process. This is to cover
for them turning on/off on process.
Better then to just check if on actually changed.
This cost adds up midgame, doesn't impact init tho
Materials:
There's this update_appearance call in material on_apply. it doesn't do
anything.
The logs will lie to you and say it does, but it's just like reapplying
emissives. It doesn't need to exist
Saves like 50ms
Canisters:
Live thing, lots of time wasted updating appearance for no reason, lets
see if we change anything first yes?
[Uses defines to wrap update_appearance for
tracking](4fa82e1c9d)
[Undoes _update_appearance changes, instead reccomends 2 regexes to
use](a8c8fec57a)
I need file and line number for my tracking, so I need to override
update_appearance calls, and also preferably not require every override
of update_appearance to handle dummy file + line args.
So instead, I created a wrapper proc that checks to see if appearanaces
match (they're unique remember, the two of the same visual appearance
will be equivalent)
The trouble is I can't intercept JUST proc calls, or JUST function
definitions with defines. it needs to be both.
So I renamed the /update_appearance proc to /_update_appearance
this way I can capture old uses, and don't need to worry about merge/dev
brain skew
~~It does mean that all update_appearance proc definitions now look
weird tho.
My profiling is leaking into dev ux. I wish I had better templating.~~
**The above is no longer being pr'd**, it's instead just recommended via
a few regexes adjacent to the define.
Smelled wrong anyhow

it](cf1df8a69f)

## About The Pull Request
After all, the Syndicate loves a good throwback.

This PR does a few things with the goal of reimplementing and
revitalizing syndicate traitor kits and the syndicate surplus crate.
Of note is that I have added in a way for limited stock items to share
their limited stock.
Following maintainer guidance the syndicate traitor kits have increased
in price and as a result some of the lower value ones have been
adjusted. I've given all active bundles current TC costs per item
knowing full well they will be inaccurate eventually.
<details>
<summary>Changes as a result of my audit of syndikits</summary>
### UNCHANGED
Recon, Spai, Stealthy, Screwed, Sniper, Nukie Meta, Implants
Mad Scientist, Bees
Lord Singuloth is also unchanged and disabled, I think that it should
turn into a new supermatter themed kit maybe. outside of current scope.
### Gun Kit
Replaced emag with doorjack and gave it a chameleon holster, literally
moved 1 tc elsewhere
### Murderer
replaced emag again, no additions its a lot of tc and Just Good
### Hacker
added doorjack, otherwise unchanged
### Sabotage
no changes other than adding in extra bombs it didnt have
### James Bond
gave him some gadgets with the freedom implant, emp flashlight, and one
x4. also a cyanide pill and deck of cards for fun
### Ninja
Added in miner Jump Boots, smoke spell, and doorjack. dont just want it
to be space ninja
### Dark Lord
Added in new lightning bolt spell granter and made the desword default
to red. probably overbudget.
### White Whale
dehydrated carp added so you can ride it alongside the ones you grenade
out. hard to imagine changing this
### Mr Freeze
changed temperature gun to be cryo only so that i could give him the
cryo thermal pistol. cold attacks only.
### 2006 Traitor
doorjack.
</details>
tl;dr theyre all about 30 tc worth of shit more or less some are more
but thats what rarity should be for
you can only buy from one type of syndicrate per round

Next up is the return of the surplus crate.
Crate is generated, gives you gear **based on your progression at the
time of buying the crate**, you can use it all at the start and get some
chameleon kits and not a lot of dangerous weapons or wait till later.
I've changed the weight on some items here and there and given weight to
role and species locked items, though I will admit that latter is
unimportant because I set moth lanterns to be unable to appear in these
two crates.

But who cares about that your eyes instantly went to the United Surplus
Crate and the United Surplus Key lets be honest.
The united surplus crate is 80 TC worth of uplink items relative to your
current progression when you purchase it and gives you a locked box. It
**will explode if you try to break it** so be careful with it. It gives
you 80 TC and costs 20 TC because it is impossible to open without key.
The rub of course is that the Syndicate forbids agents from buying more
than one surplus item of any kind, you need to find another traitor and
make them buy you a key to open your box. Or I guess you can share the
box?

Regardless, if the crate is opened with any other means it doesn't spawn
its contents, you need 2 traitor uplinks.
Both of these items have a 30 minute timer because you don't want a
crate that has 5 emp flashlights in it. You at least want one energy
sword.
I did a lot of code shit and changed various things to be proc based to
allow for more editing and interjection of things, as I wrote in code
comments making a crate thats locked to a specific set of progression
just means changing the proc that generates a list of valid uplink items
to check items' progression values to a specified value instead of your
characters progression.
Ok I think that goes over everything more or less????
## Why It's Good For The Game
I've heard that people liked these and I think they are quite fun, being
able to go from "i dunno what to do as a traitor" to "ah, of course, I
will become the Bombler" is a fun thing to be able to have, and people
like to get a bunch of random shit in the mail. Some of it even feels
free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brain points go up!!!
The division of procs allows for more creativity with this system than
existed before as well as other possibilities for interacting with the
uplink handler in funny ways.
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
For some god-forsaken reason, somebody decided that ice portals should
be able to drop one of the most disruptive items in the game. This PR
amends this by removing it from the drop pool.
## Why It's Good For The Game
In 2013 gatfruit was introduced in the following PR #2000 . This was
almost a decade ago at this point, repeatedly through the PR the creator
states his belief that this item should only ever be obtainable through
admin intervention due to its ridiculous capabilities. At the time
everyone in the PR agreed it was a reasonable item to add **as it was
unobtainable without admin intervention**. Over the years, it has crept
its way to become more prevalent and openly obtainable, the most
offensive of these options is the ice moon portal. As is, there is a 1
in 28 chance of obtaining the seeds, this sounds pretty inoffensive
right? That's just 3.44% probability. Now, let us search the instances
of the portal that spawns this.

That is a big number, a lot of chances to get that seed packet and other
gamer looters. Now, let's take a look at the probability of being able
to get these seeds, assuming you wipe out all of the portals.

92.8% chance to be able to get these seeds each shift if you focus
entirely on gaming the portals. That's a pretty insane probability of
being able to obtain the gatfruit seeds.
While I dislike people who sprint to the seed vault, there is at least
the possibility of a pod person telling them to fuck off when they
demand their _free_ gamer seed. There is also the fact that the ruin
isn't a guaranteed spawn every shift.

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.

## About The Pull Request
Adds new sign subtypes for use with in-game sign customization and the
object tree while mapping. This expansion does not add new icons, it
only adds subtypes for existing icons that are neglected.
An alternative telecomms sign subtype was given a `sign_change_name`
variable so that it could be customized in-game.
Erased the "alt" from a "yes smoking" sign variable since there is only
one type.
Variable sanitization in places where it would already inherit from the
parent object.
The following sign subtypes have been added:
- Chemistry (alt)
- Xenobio (alt)
- Botany (alt1 and alt2)
- Warning: Blast Doors
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
Destroying a petrified human statue will now drop their brain, albeit a
little more statue-like.

Changed from original PR after talking w/ Fikou about it
## Why It's Good For The Game
While the combo *does* step on the toes of Smite, the statue+rod combo
is capable of fully removing you from the round without a way back very
quickly. This keeps the strength of the combo while not making it
entirely impossible to get back into the round.

## About The Pull Request
Makes a number of changes to the Grey Tide event, some of which are and
some of which aren't player facing.
Player facing bits:
- The lights will once again turn off when the event ends and the doors
begin opening. Originally, the lights would all shatter when the event
hit, providing a cover of darkness for opportunists to sneak around
under. Unfortunately this would prevent the AI from fixing the doors
until the lights were replaced, leading to headaches and the removal of
this functionality in #43159. Now, the lights are simply turned off at
the APC instead of shattered.
- The lights now flicker at certain intervals as the event is running,
rather than just right at the start.
- Announcement has been slightly modified to indicate that the event
hits more than just airlocks.
- Event runs way faster. Doors open all at once, rather than
one-at-a-time.
And now for the non player-facing bits:
- The filename is now grey_tide.dm instead of prison_break.dm. The event
was effectively re-branded to the Grey Tide event six years ago, but the
filename was unchaged.
- potential_areas is now a part of setup instead of a var on the
round_event.
- Cleans up instances of single-character varnames and stuff not in
snake case.
- The event now checks if it has any valid areas (will it work or not)
at the start, rather than at the end.
- The event now sends a global signal when run, rather than checking
everything in the entire world. It should run faster now.
- Everything that can be affected by the grey tide event now stores its
functionality on a signal handler, including the light flickers
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes the grey tide event a bit more interesting and easier to take
advantage of. Cleans up the backend code a bit.
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
Hosts who are buckled to a xenomorph nests will gestate their xenomorph
egg 20% faster (4 minutes in a nest, 5 without) as long as they are
trapped. To keep them alive in the nest, they will recieve temperature
stabilization and be healed until they are pulled (or break) free.
To ensure the gift of life is not wasted by captured humans, they can
now break free from resin nests after one minute of struggling, down
from two.
## Why It's Good For The Game
There's currently no incentive to not kill facehugger infectees
immediately after they're impregnated. Dead bodies can't run away,
gestate at the same speed, and hives are often breached from space
making them deadly to live captures regardless. This serves the dual
purpose of incentivizing live captures, while also making them a
feasible option, without removing the ability to infect dead bodies and
seriously impacting the xenomorph playstyle.
Cutting the escape timer in half (while also ensuring that captured
humans are alive enough to break out) means there will be many more
opportunities for live captures to escape. Additionally, the xeno
players will have to spare manpower to actively defend hosts and if they
wish to ensure they do not escape. Hopefully it should give more reason
to play defensively and set up a proper hive, instead of the
hypermobile-hyperviolent playstyle you sometimes encounter.
## Changelog
🆑 Rhials
balance: Xenomorph nests will now sustain humans that are buckled to
them, and gestate xenomorph eggs slightly faster.
balance: Xenomorph nests evolved healing capabilities in exchange for
some of their grip. They now take only one minute to escape from.

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.

- Add roundstart tip to let new doctors now that morgue trays and
freezers prevent organ decay
- Renamed organ decay proc to be `toggle_organ_decay` instead of
`recursive_organ_check`
## About The Pull Request
- Rewrites how action button icons are generated.
- Prior, generated an action button icon was fairly simplistic and
didn't allow for many changes. Someone recently added the option for
overlays to be generated over action buttons, but the framework was very
weak.
- Now, action button icon generation is split across multiple procs,
like atom icon updates.
- The background of action buttons are underlays
- The actual icon of the action button is the icon and icon state of the
action button movable
- The rim / border of the button is an overlay, layered overtop the
button.
- Allows observers to see what action buttons a mob has. They even
update in real time! And no, the observers cannot click on them.
## Why It's Good For The Game
- Runechat text of action buttons are no longer hidden behind the actual
icon. This was very ugly with cooldown actions, as the cooldown text was
hidden behind a lot of spell icons.
- Cuts down on a lot of icon duplication.
- Gives much finer control over action button icons
- Saves a bit of processing from generating full action button icons
when not necessary. Not implemented in many places, but is in some.


## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
add: Observers can now see what action buttons an observed mob has. No,
you can't click them. And no it doesn't show EVERY action.
refactor: Refactored how action button icons are generated. Some actions
will now use a colored border when active instead of just turning green.
Cooldown text will also appear on the top layer of actions too. If you
see any funky lookin' icons (namely their borders), let me know.
refactor: Bluespace Golem's teleport action is now a cooldown action.
fix: Construct actions go to the middle of the screen like expected.

## About The Pull Request
**Comes with an UpdatePaths!**
Removes the tablet subtype, PDAs now replaces them entirely.
Nukie and Silicon tablets are now subtypes of the PDA instead, while
contractor ones were removed entirely as they didn't do anything and
were unused (though it wouldn't be hard to re-add).
Nukie PDAs are now the only type of PDA that uses modular_tablets.dmi,
which is just larger icons of modular_pda. Each application requires an
icon state in both of these, for 2 different sizes, which makes it
annoying to make new applications, especially if it can also run on
computers/laptops.
### Icons
Because Silicon tablets are now a subtype of PDA, they use PDA icons
instead of tablet ones. Luckily for us, they already exist in code.

AI's don't use a tablet icon though, so they aren't affected.
## Why It's Good For The Game
There's very little difference between tablets and PDAs, PDAs overshadow
them in every single way, so at this point I don't see why we should
have both of these, and if you compare the two in usefulness and actual
in-game use by players, it's a no-brainer than the item all players get
roundstart and comes with a messenger should be the one we go with.
Also as said in the about section, when making an app you would need to
make icon states for the program running for all hardware it can run on,
which is Computer, Laptop, PDA, and Tablet.
Laptop is just a smaller computer icon
PDA is just a smaller tablet icon
However, you can't simply shrink the size of the icon, instead you have
to completely resprite the same app icon FOUR TIMES for it to not
bluescreen on all these different devices.

Here's examples of it

</details>
If we wish to help in simplifying this, we should remove tablet icons
entirely, which means 1 less icon to worry about. To do this, we'd need
to resprite nukie PDAs, however I am very much not a spriter and never
tried GAGS, so I'll leave it to someone else to do.

del: Tablets are now removed, PDAs are now the base 'tablet'. Silicon

## About The Pull Request
Finishes #66471
At burden level nine (or through a deadly genetic breakdown), you now
turn into a psyker.
This splits your skull in half and transforms it into a weird fleshy
mass. You become blind, but your skull is perfectly suited for sending
out psychic waves. You get potent psy abilities.
First one is brainwave echolocation, inspired by Gehennites (but not as
laggy).
Secondly, you get the ability of Psychic Walls, which act similarly to
wizard ones, but last shorter, and cause projectiles to ricochet off
them.
Thirdly, you get a projectile boost ability, this temporarily lets you
fire guns twice as fast and gives them homing to the target you clicked.
Lastly, you get the ability of psychic projection. This terrifies the
victim, fucking their screen up and causing them to rapidfire any gun
they have in their general direction (they'll probably miss you)
With most of the abilities being based around guns, a burden level nine
chaplain now gets a new rite, Transmogrify. This lets them turn their
null rod into a 5-shot 18 damage .77 revolver. The revolver possesses a
weaker version of antimagic (protects against mind and unholy spells,
but not wizard/cult ones). It is reloaded by a prayer action (can also
only be performed by a max burdened person).

Psychic Projection Video: https://streamable.com/4ibu7o

## Why It's Good For The Game
Rewards the burdened chaplain with some pretty cool stuff for going
through hell like losing half his limbs, cause the current psychics dont
cut it as much as probably necessary, adds echolocation which can be
used for neat stuff in the future (bat organs for DNA infuser for
example).
## Changelog
🆑 Fikou, sprites from Halcyon, some old code from Basilman and
Armhulen.
refactor: Honorbound and Burdened mutations are brain traumas now.
add: Psykers. Become a psyker through the path of the burdened, or a

The logic here is that, if they can move, chances are they can also use
ladders (with a few exceptions such as camera mobs). This ought to

## About The Pull Request
Fixes a bug where grilles drop a stack of 0 iron rods on partial
destruction. They now drop one iron rod. Also removes a variable called
rods_broken which is useless.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The stack of 0 rods acts the same as a normal iron rod except its icon
is invisible, meaning it can be snuck past security, this is bad and
could be used for cheese. It also meant grilles dropped less iron rods
than it takes to build a grille, which makes no sense.

Sometimes admins want to spawn a deployable turret in a certain place
for a reason, and not allow them to be dragged away to anywhere on the
station on a moments notice. This lets you do that.
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.
