* Polymorph belt blacklists several biotypes instead of allowing only organics (#78229)
## About The Pull Request
Title; this makes the belt able to morph into _more_ mobs, but _less
problematic/abusable_ mobs hopefully. It still only functions on
basic/simple_animals, however.
~~Headslugs get a `MOB_UNDEAD` bioflag to prevent morphing into them
completely. Though catching a sentient ling slug and morphing everyone
into it is funny, it's only funny the first 5 times someone does it.
(disclaimer: this is an approximation, i did not actually see a
polymorph belt in-game because i currently play miner and like 10 games
a week tops)
Arguably, this isn't ideal, but it's the closest we get unless we rename
`MOB_EPIC` or something into `MOB_SPECIAL` and let that one be the go-to
bioflag for mobs we don't want **fun** things happen to.~~
`MOB_EPIC` is now `MOB_SPECIAL`. Headslugs get that.
I think the alternative methow could use whatever the gold cores use to
determine what to spawn but that would shift the mobs available for the
belt even more and I can't be assed to figure out how _much_ of a shift
that would be. Dragons or slimes or lavaland mobs would be out, for
example. Don't really vibe with that.
Fixes headslug's description bit that discerns a sentient slug from an
AI one showing up on a dead slug. It can't move while it's dead, no
matter its mind/AI.
Also adds simple dmdoc comments to the defines to help discern a few of
them more easily. Non-quip text suggestions welcome.
## Why It's Good For The Game
- Resolves#77756
- Resolves#78227
More mobs available for the funny belt but less _fun_ mobs should allow
for more stable use of the damn thing. Arguably, some of the mobs that
have been found to be incompatible with the belt are simply lacking a
`MOB_ORGANIC` flag, some of them with no apparent reason. However,
blacklisting potentially problematic biotypes should be easier to design
the unwanted mobs around.
Also consistency, less all-ling stations, code clarity. Whatever.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: polymorph belt now blacklists mobs that are undead, humanoid,
robotic or spiritual (in nature, not religiously), as well as megafauna
balance: however, this means that it works with more mobs that it should
logically work with, like slimes/bugs/lightgeists etc
fix: fixed headslug shenanigans with the polymorph belt hopefully for
good this time
fix: fixed headslug description mentioning its movement despite the slug
being dead

Fixes https://github.com/Skyrat-SS13/Skyrat-tg/issues/23506
When the foodening added some args to the constructor of
`/obj/item/food` some instances of the constructor being passed stuff
got overlooked and were not updated.
This resulted in a mob ref potentially being passed in to
`starting_reagent_purity` in some cases, ultimately resulting in this
harddel.
@ SyncIt21 this is exactly the reason I was being so paranoid with #77946
the other day. Tracking constructor uses down can be such a pain when
they aren't prefaced with a type, and are almost guaranteed to get
overlooked during refactors if the compiler does not say anything about
it.
I hate DM.

cream. I can confirm that it is in fact working now after fixing that
one too.

* minebots basic bots (#78032)
## About The Pull Request
Transforms the minebots into basic robots. You can now command these
minebots to extract minerals for you. To activate automated mining mode,
simply instruct them with the command "mine." They will then proceed to
autonomously mine walls and gather ores. If you wish to make the bot
deposit all the collected ores, use the command "drop." Alternatively,
you can leave it in collection mode, and it will gather all the ores you
mine. Additionally, the bot now responds to several more commands; you
can instruct it to follow you, toggle its lights on or off by saying
"lights." In attack mode, it refrains from mining or collecting ores but
will engage in combat alongside you. If it detects you as deceased or
unconscious, it will alert all miners, request assistance, and relay
your coordinates via the mining communication channel. to power it on u
will need to feed it any type of ore first so it may listen to ur
commands

## About The Pull Request
The protection from allowing a possessing mob to lay changeling eggs of
the dead headslug corpses present in the meateor ruin was a
post-creation variable edit rather than an immutable property of the
typepath, so if for instance you had some kind of item of clothing which
allows you to turn yourself into an instance of a mob via its typepath
you could use them to turn into a headslug, bite a monkeyman, commit
suicide, and then become a changeling.

* Mining mob tweaks (#77763)
## About The Pull Request
~~I wanted to do this after #77700 (wow cool numbers) but nobody has
merged it yet despite how simple it is so i'll just hope they don't
conflict.~~ Thanks san
I'm fucking about with mining mobs with the intention of making them
more interesting but not necessarily towards making mining _harder_, but
some of these changes unquestionably have done so.
These changes are mostly in response to feedback about Watchers who are
definitely significantly more threatening than previously, although some
of this is user error.
- Watchers are annoying when traversing lavaland because they use their
ability on you instantly upon acquiring a target, if you are trying to
escape other fauna this quickly becomes deadly.
- A lot of players don't really realise what the overwatch ability is
actually doing and so just complain about getting machine gunned.
- If you _do_ react properly to the ability it still makes fighting them
take a lot longer than it used to.
- The "look away" icon is hard to see in the dark sometimes
To ammeliorate these factors I have:
- Reduced watcher health by ~20%
- Display an alerted graphic over the head of the watcher every time you
trigger the overwatch.
- Multiple watchers now won't overwatch you at the same time (this made
the "penalty" volley essentially become instant death)
- The "look away" icon is rendered above the lighting plane so you can
always see it
- Added a new component which tracks how long a mob has had a specific
target.
- - Watchers will now only Overwatch you if they've seen you for at
least 5 seconds (usually they'll try and shoot at you twice before
this).
- - Goliaths will only tentacle you if they've seen you for at least 3
seconds.
If overwatch is still problematic after this I guess I can just nerf it
to not track movement at all and only respond to attacks.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I don't want to discourage miners from "actually mining" by having them
get sniped just for walking around and the added time-to-kill on these
guys could make clearing tendrils more tedious too.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Watchers have less health
balance: You can't be overwatched by several watchers at a time

* Adds a Heresy phobia, fixes some typos in heretic code, places the stargazer and fire shark under heretic_summon (#77306)
## About The Pull Request
Instead of a supernatural phobia, sacrificed people will now get a
HERESY phobia, which specifically targets heretic stuff, instead of all
of magic. Other heretics, however, do not get this, but instead get
knowledge points sapped from them, as their mind is ruined in a
different way than normal people. This comes with different flavour text
and a harsher but shorter lasting mood debuff. Also fixes some
"knowlege" code typos and places the star gazer and fire shark all in
under heretic_summon
## Why It's Good For The Game
Heretics, Wizards, Chaplains and Cultists will now be able to keep
playing the game after getting sacrificed without overdosing on
psicodine, while still retaining the phobia's original design purpose.
placing the fire shark and star gazer under the same type also is useful
as they share a lot of values. typos bad.

Also I made the gaze ability stun the user for a short period after it

* Refactors Regal Rats into Basic Mobs (more titles edition) (#77681)
## About The Pull Request
I literally can't focus on anything nowadays, so I just did this to
break a never-ending chain of distress. Anyways, regal rats! These
fellas are mostly player controlled, but did have _some_ AI capabilities
(mainly tied to their actions), so that was incorporated too. Everything
should work as-expected (as well as look a shitload cleaner).
Instead of doing weird and awful conditional signals being sent out, I
made the `COMSIG_REGAL_RAT_INTERACT` (not the actual name) have a return
value so we can always rely on that working whenever we have that signal
registered on something we attack. I also cleaned up pretty much every
proc related to regal rats, gave them AIs to reflect their kingly nature
(and action capabilities (as well as move the action to
`mob_cooldown`)).
Since I thought they needed it, Regal Rats now get a special moniker!
This is stuff like "the Big Cheese" and what-not, like actual regents in
history. That's nice.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Two more off the list. Much better code to read. Way smarter rats with
spawning their army as part of a retaliatory assault (war). More sovl
with better regal rat names. The list goes on.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Regal Rats have been refactored into basic mobs. They should
be a bit smarter and retain their docility (until attacked, in which
case you should prepare to get rekt by summoned rats), and properly flee
when they can instead of just sit there as you beat them to death. The
framework for them interacting with stuff (i.e. opening doors while
slobbering on food) is a bit more unified too, now. They also have
cooler names too!
/🆑
FYI: Beyond a few code touchups, I haven't touched the actions at all. I
do not believe myself to be enthusiastic about fixing anything involving
the actions code as of this moment so that this PR is more overbloated
unless it's unbelievably stupid or easy to fix.

* Fixes Xeno Sentinel's Sneak Action Icon + Additional Sneak QoL (#77543)
## About The Pull Request
This PR fixes the xenomorph sentinel's Sneak ability having an error
icon as opposed to the intended appearance. This PR also adds a smooth
alpha transition to Sneak as opposed to setting the alpha immediately.
Having your alpha drop to its sneak value takes 0.5 seconds, which is
fast enough that it really shouldn't matter.
This PR also changes sneak's chat message alert to a balloon alert.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The icon thing is a bugfix, which is always good. The alpha
transitioning instead of being immediately set looks much better in my
opinion, I think most would agree on that front. Balloon alerts are our
preferred option as opposed to chat alerts now, so its also a good thing
to change.

* Add Mob Ability menu now displays ability names before typepath (#77682)
## About The Pull Request
Look at this menu:
Isn't this basically useless?
When you try to add a mob ability to a mob, it displays a huge list of
typepaths.
Literally none of the typepaths are short enough that they even fit in
the window, and the data about what the ability actually is usually lies
at the end of the typepath.
This is clearly silly.
I made it look like this instead:
Now you see the name _and_ the typepath (it's still useful information
in cases where there are several similar abilities).
Also I gave the lobster charge ability its own name because it didn't
have one.

* Replaces Big Mob Tiny Sprites With Togglable Clientside Transparency For Big Mobs
* Replaces Big Mob Tiny Sprites With Togglable Clientside Transparency For Big Mobs (#77361)
## About The Pull Request
This PR replaces the tiny mob sprite abilities for our large mobs with a
Toggle Seethrough ability. What this does when enabled is make yourself
transparent on your own client and makes you unable to click yourself.
With this, any sort of overlays that get added look correct while in
your tiny mob form and you can still appreciate your large size without
giving up the ability to click on targets that would be hiding
underneath your sprite.
In total, this ability is granted to all the mobs who had tiny sprites:
- Xenomorph Queen
- Space Dragon
- Megafauna (not that players ever get access to these normally, but it
might be nice for admins)
Along with all this, I've also gone and expanded the mobs who get access
to the Seethrough ability to mobs that are large but didn't have a
mini-sprite. This includes:
- Jungle giants (leaper and mega arachnid)
- Tree mob
- Festivus pole mob
- Lavaland elites
- Xenomorph Praetorian
- Wumborian Fugu
On top of all this, any simple/basic mob given a fugu gland also
automatically gains this ability.
This solution also fixes all the overlays bugs that tiny mob sprites
introduced to the game, most notably the xenomorph queen overlays being
screwy when in small form and space dragon's overlays being completely
disabled for everyone if he was in small form.
The only issue with this currently is that clicking on any overlays from
your mob will let you still click on yourself, though this issue is
pretty negligible.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Tiny mob sprite abilities clashed very hard with our overlay system,
leading to a lot of buggy and unintended behavior. This replacement
works a lot more smoothly with overlays and also requires much less
setup to give it to a mob than tiny sprites did. I would also imagine it
helps keep the fantasy of being a big monster alive by letting you still
see yourself being a big monster without it getting in your way when
trying to attack things.
## Changelog

del: Removed tiny mob sprite abilities for large mobs
add: Add a Self Seethrough ability, given to most large mobs and all
mobs affected by a fugu gland

This one is a double feature because Watchers and Basilisks share the
same typepath. You might see a couple more of those.
As is tradition I decided to fuck with them rather than just port them.
Here's what's up.
**Basilisks**
- Have a new soulless sprite which looks less like a living blue hedge.
- Walk at you and shoot you while you are not in range (just like
before).
- Become supercharged if they become "heated" by lava, lasers, or
temperature weapons. This was a feature they also previously had but
they would never encounter lava, so now it also works if you use the
wrong gun on them.
- Lose their supercharge if you cool them down.
- Otherwise pretty normal mobs.
**Watchers**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOq_Bf78k5A
Here's a traditional video of me intentionally getting hit by mechanics
(trust me its definitely on purpose)
- They glow emmissively a little bit so you can see them from further
away.
- Their eyes light up about 0.5 seconds before they are able to shoot at
you.
- No longer melee attack, instead try to stay out of melee.
- Will occasionally put you into "Overwatch", meaning they will shoot
you rapidly if you move or act while they're staring at you for a brief
time period (after which you become immune for 12 seconds, and during
which other watchers will play fair and stop shooting at you).
- If they start taking damage they will also start using their "Gaze"
attack, look away or suffer some kind of negative effect!
- - Normal watcher gaze flashes and confuses you.
- - Magmawing watcher gaze obviously burns (and briefly stuns) you.
- - Icewing watcher gaze freezes you and throws you backwards.
- Magnetically attract and eat diamonds. They also used to do this, but
just if they happened to coincidentally walk past some.
**Other accompanying changes**
All basic mobs will now adopt the "stop gliding" trait if they get
slowed down too much.
I moved behaviour for "fire a projectile from this atom" into a helper
proc because I was using it in three places and I will probably use it
in more places. There are probably other places in the existing code
which could be using this.
I think I made the basic mob melee attack forecast default a little more
forgiving, they were fucking me up too much and I am the playtester.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Another one off the list.
New tricks for old dogs.
Framework for making mobs with ranged attacks "fairer" (you can see when
they are ready to shoot you).
More (hopefully) versatile AI behaviours which we will reuse later (I
hope I'm not duplicating one someone already made).
If our players "enjoy" them enough we can give more mobs "don't look at
me" mechanics.
Removes some soul sprites.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Basilisks and Watchers now use the basic mob framework. Please
bug report any unusual behaviour.
sprite: Basilisks have new sprites.
add: Basilisks will go into a frenzy if heated by energy weapons or
temperature beams as well as by lava.
add: Watcher eyes will be illuminated briefly when they are ready to
fire at you.
add: Watchers can now briefly put you into "Overwatch" and penalise you
for moving while they can see you.
add: Wounded watchers will occasionally punish players who look at them.
balance: Unusual watcher variants are more likely to appear.

* mega arachnid basic monster (#77601)
## About The Pull Request
the mega arachnid is now a basic monster. he is a very tricky and
opportunistic creature he will plan his attacks carefully and only
attack the weak. he will first try to throw fleshy legcuffs at his
victims, if the victim becomes cuffed he will move in to attack him,
otherwise he will run away from him while trying to throw restraints at
his legs. while he is running away he will also release slippery acid to
slip his prey. also when he is looking for his prey, he will be
transparent for more stealth. after he finds his prey the transparency
will wear off. he is also a very stealthy creature, he will break any
lights and cameras near him and he can also climb trees to hide in them
while he is looking for a victim.
## Why It's Good For The Game
add more combat depth for the mega arachnid

* Removes Liver Damage From Spider Toxins, Reduces Injection Amount for Tangle Spider (#77550)
## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new value to toxins called liver_damage_multiplier. As
you might have guessed, this value modifies how much liver damage
processing the toxin will do, and it is default at 1. Spider toxins now
have this value set to 0, as having their toxins murdering livers isn't
an intentional part of their gameplay loop.
Tangle spiders also now inject half the amount of acid they used to. It
was actually really strong compared to the other toxin types and wasn't
intentional according to Seth.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Liver damage is very strong when it comes to spiders, but it isn't
considered at all in their balancing. Removing it makes the actual toxin
damage the threat and not the liver damage.
Tangle Spider isn't supposed to have high toxin damage, but because of
it injecting acid, it did more damage than the other spider types and
was requested to be have the injection amount reduced by Seth.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Hunter and viper spider toxins no longer deal liver damage.
balance: Tangle spider's acid injection per bite reduced from 5 to 2.5.

* basic ice whelps (#77493)
## About The Pull Request
i have refactored ice whelps into basic mobs. They are now the artistic
sort as theyll mark their territory by seeking out icy rocks and carve
out statues of theirselves using their claws to serve as a warning to
players/animals that this is dragon turf and theyll also go out of their
way to burn any trees in vicinity just for the hell of it. they are now
gruesome cannibals if they find a corpse of one of their kin near them
theyll go eat it for nurishment. AS for combat, they have a new ability
which allows them to release fire in all directions however theyll only
use this ability once their enraged meter is full. to make it fair ive
given them a new component which allows them to telegraph abilities and
only do them after a delay so players can react in time for it.

* Give basic mob ranged attacks a cooldown (#77575)
## About The Pull Request
Atomised change from a different PR I am working on.
This changes the basic mob ranged attacks element into a component so
that it can also track an attack cooldown on the mob, preventing it from
firing until the cooldown is complete.
This was possible with simple mobs but wasn't kept going forwards when
converting things to basic ones.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ideally player and mob behaviour should be unified as much as is
realistically possible. Currently mobs which are designed to fire a
powerful weapon slowly can blast as rapidly as the click cooldown if
placed under control of a player, which is not ideal.
This isn't currently aligned for melee attacks either but I will look at
that later.
## Changelog

fix: Player-controlled basic mobs with ranged attacks can now only fire
about as fast as AI-controlled ones.

* Unit Tests for AI Planning Subtrees not having required element/component (#77539)
## About The Pull Request
Hey there,
I've personally fallen for this stupid thing twice (in #77503 and #75627
(d3575161ca)), so I decided to spend a few
hours to crack out a unit test to ensure that I (and no one else) falls
for this stupid thing again.
Let me know if there's a smarter way to code something like this, but I
couldn't figure out a better way to accomodate the current framework and
be as agnostic to certain oddities as possible.

* Refactors Morphs into Basic Mobs (there is now a swag action for morphification) (#77503)
## About The Pull Request
I was bored, so did this. Probably one of the neatest refactors I've
done, sorry if there's some oddities because I was experimenting with
some other stuff in this so just tell me to clean them up whenever I
can.
Anyways, morphs are basic mobs now. We are able to easily refactor the
whole "eat items and corpses" stuff in the basic mob framework, but the
whole "morph into objects and people" turned out to be a bit trickier.
That was easily rectified with a datum mob cooldown action and
copy-pasting the old code into that code, as well as doing some nice
stuff with traits and signals to ensure the one-way communication from
the action to the mob.
Old Morph AI didn't seem to be existant whatsoever, they inappropriately
leveraged some old procs and I have no idea how to make it work with new
AI. They DEFINITELY don't spawn outside of admin interference/ the event
anymore, and will always be controlled by a player, so this shouldn't be
too bad of an issue. I gave them something to seem alive just in case
though, but I think adding legitimate prop-hunt AI would be such a
laborious task that I am unwilling to do it in this PR.
## Why It's Good For The Game
If admins want to add the ability for Ian to assume the form of the HoP,
they can do that now! The datum action cooldown is quite nice for simple
and basic mobs... but it is currently not compatible with carbons. That
is not within scope for this PR, but I am dwelling on ways to extend it
to carbon but they all sound really awfully bad.
Also morphs are smarter, and we tick another simple animal in need of
refactoring off the list.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Morphs are now basic mobs with a nice new ability to help you
change forms rather than the old shift-click method, much more
intuitive.
admin: With the morph rework comes a new ability you can add to mobs,
"Assume Form". Feel free to add that to any simple or basic mob for le
funnies as Runtime turns into a pen or something.
/🆑
~~Does anyone know if there's a (sane) way to alias a cooldown action as
a keypress? I can't think of a good way to retain the old shift-click
functionality, because that does feel _kinda_ nice, but I think it can
be lived without.~~ I added it. Kinda fugly but whatever.

* convert the eyeball a basic monster (#77411)
## About The Pull Request
I have created a basic eyeball monster with new abilities and behaviors.
The eyeball has a unique power that allows it to glare at humans and
make them slow for a short period. However, this ability only works if
the human can see the eyeball monster. If a person is blind or unable to
see the eyeball, the ability won't affect them. Also, if someone turns
their back to the eyeball, it cannot use the ability on them. But be
cautious because the eyeball will try to position itself in front of the
person's face to use its power.
The eyeball is hostile towards all humans except for the blind ones and
those with significant eye damage. It has a compassionate side too, as
it loves to help people with eye damage by providing small healing to
their eyes.
Furthermore, the eyeball has a fondness for eating carrots, which not
only satisfies its appetite but also grants it a small health boost. To
add to its appearance, I've given it a new, larger, and scarier sprite.
However, I am open to changing it back to the old sprite if the player
prefers it that way.
Additionally, the eyeball displays emotions, and if you hit it, it will
cry tears as a sign of pain or sadness.
## Why It's Good For The Game
the eyeball now have more depth and character to his behavier.

* Spiders don't automatically grant an antag datum (#77523)
## About The Pull Request
Fixes#77501
Spider egg ghost role spawners grant the spider antag datum, rather than
the act of being a spider.
This means that gold core, mapstart, polymorph belt, and other spiders
will not have an antagonist datum.
While doing this I also made a new abstract `mob/living/basic/spider`
type which all three kinds of spider life stage (`spiderling`, `young`,
`giant`) extend from, because there was a gross amount of copied code.
Now there isn't.
Also the Flesh Spider and Event Midwife eggs now simply hatch adult
spiders instead of child ones.
This is because there is no reason for either of these to have a two
minute wait time before they get going. Midwife spiders spawned by the
event should just start spidering immediately, and Flesh Spiders are
made by changelings and shouldn't be effected by measures introduced to
balance the spider gamemode.
Eggs which are laid during a round and _can_ hatch into midwife spiders
still hatch baby spiders.
Also I swapped some white pixels on the animation of the ambush
spiderling for a different colour because they looked bad.
## Why It's Good For The Game
While the policy is always "if you turn yourself into something, you're
not an antagonist" the presence of the antag datum still confuses
people. Plus that code was gross and I didn't like it.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Giant Spiders only have an antag datum if created by the round
event.
balance: Flesh spider eggs hatch into adult spiders instead of baby
spiders.

* removes dextrous_hud_type and healable var (#77244)
## About The Pull Request
I was working on some basic mob stuff and noticed this is a little
messy, so I made these changes separately.
I removed ``dextrous_hud_type`` because ``hud_type`` exists and can just
be used instead.
I also removed the ``healable`` var, because it was incorrectly used
(with the expectation that basic mobs had it too). Instead it will rely
on the mob being Organic, the check right under it, and I gave mob
biotypes to mobs that were not healable and had no biotype already.
I made a new biotype for slimes because I didn't find any other ones
that fit it (and gave it to slimepeople), but it is not used anywhere
other than to prevent them from healing from sutures, as I didn't want
to just set it to NONE. Thought this may be useful for the future.
## Why It's Good For The Game
``healable`` is checked on simple animals and basic mobs, despite basic
mobs not having this var. I do not want to add this var to basic mobs
either, I think checking for them being organic makes much more sense
and avoids having to make basic mobs less basic.
## Changelog
Nothing player-facing.

* Spider Evolution - Young Spiders [Ready] (#76692)
## About The Pull Request
This pr adds a young spiders that appear between spiderlings and adult
spiders. Now spiders have a stage where they are squishy but can also
spin webs and do some other things early depending on the spider type.
Spiderling stage takes 40 seconds and young spider stage take 1 minute,
ealier for spiderling this was 1 minute. Also adds a new wizard spider
sprite and makes the spider form usable.
Gives Wizard Spider version has better immunity against fire since it
can kill a wizard very fast it they are not paying attention.
Makes tangle spider get more health but makes the self-healing worse.
This is done because spider is a team antag except for the flesh
(changeling spider), making it so solo-playing as tangle is less
encouraged.
Scout spiderling gets thermal vision also. It cannot communicate, but it
can already start scouting now.
Viper deals bonus damage when an enemy is on low health. Toxins don't
kill humans anymore, and since the viper spider only deals 5 damage now
it deals more so it can actually take down enemies at low health. They
also have a little more health since they always die very fast. Viper
can also change between a defensive/slow mode with more armor or a
offensive/speed mode with less armor.
Nurse spider heals for 25 instead of 20, since 25 is one laser shot, it
makes more sense for the nurse spider to be able to heal that amount.
Flesh spider grows faster since they are a solo antag and spawn killing
isn't cool.
Tarantula spider can now tear down walls by clicking them instead of
needing to use their charge attack. They can also build wall webs and
passage webs. Their damage coeffs also got the regular burn factor for
spider so their health also increased a bit.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Now there is a smooth transition between the tiny spiderling and the
bigger spider stage. This will promote people to help the hive at an
earlier stage while not being too powerful yet. It is also realistic and
adds extra flavor to the spider antag. The other balance changes are
improvements to the game.
## Changelog

* Kills `seconds_per_tick` from status effect `tick`, replaces it with `seconds_between_ticks` to clarify some things (#77219)
## About The Pull Request
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/66573#discussion_r861157216
`status_effect/proc/tick(seconds_per_tick)` is wildly misleading and I
feel like I should address it
For a majority of status effects, they process on fast processing but do
not tick every fastprocessing tick
This means that using `seconds_per_tick` here is not giving you the
seconds between status effect ticks, it's giving you seconds between
processing ticks (`0.2`)
This is how it's misleading - If you have a tick interval of `1
SECONDS`, you'd think `seconds_per_tick` is, well, one. But it's
actually one-fifth. So all of your effects are now 80% weaker.
I have replaced the use of `seconds_per_tick` in tick with
`seconds_between_ticks`.
This number is, quite simply, the initial tick interval of the status
effect divided by ten.
An effect with the tick interval of `1 SECONDS` has a
`seconds_between_ticks` of 1.
As a consequence, some things which were inadvertently made weaker, such
as fire and some heretic things (at a glance), are now a little
stronger.
## Why It's Good For The Game
See above. Makes it more clear what you're doing when working with
effects.
## Changelog

is elapsing between ticks. Some effects that were inadvertently weakened

* Fixes things about goliaths: wallhacks/range hacks(no, really) and tentacles not spawning in mineral turfs; also fixes `find_potential_targets` wallhacks (#77393)
## About The Pull Request
Goliath's sand digging behaviour could potentially target a turf that's
actually unreachable by the goliath, e.g.
```
G#
#T
```
where G - goliath # - wall T - target turf. fixed that, but i think
there could be something easier here, maybe instead grabbing turfs in
goliath's `view()`? unsure
The component goliaths use to telegraph their attacks
(`basic_mob_attack_telegraph`) casts a `do_after()` to perform the
attack, but it was not actually checking for the target staying in melee
range, as it was using the source goliath as both `user` and `target`,
so it didn't actually care at all for the target. Implemented an
`extra_checks` to `Adjacent()` since that's the closest we get for melee
range shenanigans I suppose
This still allows the source basicmob to attack the target if the target
moves around the source basicmob.
`!`Goliaths were also able to summon tentacles on a target that moved
into cover and still stayed in the `find_potential_targets` target
range. Which meant more wallhacks. This was a thing for the base
`find_potential_targets`, meaning that every basic mob using it was a
dirty haxxor (or very vengeful). Fixed that by making
`find_potential_targets` also check for `can_see()` before proceeding
further down `find_potential_targets/perform()`. `!` The only exception
to this check currently are bileworms.
`!`Goliath tentacles were not spawning in mineral turfs as their
`Initialize()` checked for closed turfs before handling mineral turf
mining. Fixed that as well.
## Why It's Good For The Game
## Changelog
🆑
fix: fixed goliaths digging sand that they can't actually reach (behind
windows or inbetween closed turfs)
fix: fixed goliaths melee attacking their target despite the target
running away from goliath melee range
fix: fixed goliath tentacles not spawning in mineral turfs
fix: fixed goliaths summoning tentacles on targets that moved behind
cover but stayed in their targeting range. this applies for most basic
mobs, really, so if any basic mob was targeting you despite you hauling
ass behind cover, they shouldn't anymore
/🆑
* Fixes things about goliaths: wallhacks/range hacks(no, really) and tentacles not spawning in mineral turfs; also fixes `find_potential_targets` wallhacks

* 'Mirrors now display your reflection' Redux. (#77202)
## About The Pull Request
This is a revamp of #62638, which is in turn a remake of #49833, a
whooping 3 years old PR, that adds one component to the game, used by
mirrors, to do what it reads on the title. Thanks ChungusGamer for
reminding me about it.
This time with vampires not being shown in mirrors.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I'm going to post the old screenshots here since I've forgot to take
some during the latests tests, while I was busy cussing about a tiny
little detail I couldn't achieve (see the documentation on the component
path so I don't have to be verbose about it). They look more or less the
same, except the visuals look a little less cropped now, ergo
nicer-looking:
and here another from the previous attempt at PRing this:

* [no GBP] Goliaths use TRAIT_NO_GLIDE instead of a movement cooldown element (#77370)
## About The Pull Request
Fikou noticed that Goliaths change their targets semi-randomly, this is
because the element I was using to curtail their movement caused the AI
pathfinding to fail and cancel the current action.
While investigating this I also realised that just "not gliding" makes
more sense than what I was doing anyway, and has fewer weird side
effects (like being unable to move diagonally).
At some point it would probably be sensible to figure out what speeds
make gliding look stupid and automatically apply this trait to
characters (maybe only basic ones rather than humans?) moving that
slowly, however I will do that in a future PR.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More reliable AI behaviour.
Better QoL when actually playing as a Goliath.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Goliaths no longer intermittently reset their target and retarget
something else.
fix: Goliaths can once again step diagonally.

* Lightgeist AI (#77287)
## About The Pull Request
The lightgeist AI controller was marked as "these aren't intended to
exist outside of player control" but this is actually untrue.
Lightgiests can appear under AI control either from a rare vent clog
event or in the "patch of eden" lavaland ruin.
As they heal things by "attacking" them, I made it so that they will
target wounded creatures to "attack" them, though they will only heal
them quite slowly, significantly less efficiently or effectively than a
medibot (for example).
While making this change I also added a couple more parameters to their
"healing hands" component, now they can no longer repair beepsky or heal
cyborg limbs. It's fleshies only.
Lightgeists will attempt to heal _anything_ they can see which is both
injured and has healable damage, which is notable because while this
makes the "Patch of Eden" ruin a nice place of respite for a wounded
miner you should be careful to let them finish up before you leave.
If they follow you out, they will attempt to heal any of the fauna that
you are attacking. Worse still, most Lavaland mobs are not signatories
of the Geneva convention and have no compunctions against killing field
medics.
The majority of listed file changes in this PR is that I made some
attempt at splitting our massive list of blackboard keys across several
files, in order to cause myself a headache based on which of my (or
other people's) open basic mob AI PRs gets merged first.
Also I fixed a bug where the goliath attack forecast would runtime if it
killed a mob which qdels itself on death (guess how I found that out).
## Why It's Good For The Game
Adds a bit more character to a lavaland area and rare event.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Lightgeists under AI control will selflessly heal any wounded
creature that they see.
balance: Lightgeists can no longer repair non-organic tissue.

* kinesis changes + smaller misc modsuit stuff (#77241)
## About The Pull Request
renames plasmaman helmet exempt flag to stackable helmet exempt. hat
stabilizer now cares about this instead of letting you stack eva helmets
on top of modsuit helmets
improves some code that dripped in quality when i was on break
kinesis has some tweaks
previously it used to stun for a set amount of time - i think this is
because the creator couldnt figure out how to stop movement while being
held? this is changed, now as long as youre holding someone they are
immobilized
you can cancel your kinesis without throwing or moving out of range by
using right click on the click catcher
adds an admin version of kinesis just for the admin suit. it can grab
(almost) ANYTHING and config menu lets you enable phasing, which makes
it so the atom you grabbed phases through everything. pick up that can.
## Why It's Good For The Game
its fun
## Changelog
🆑
balance: hat stabilizer module can now hold what plasmaman helmets can
hold
qol: kinesis module can be stopped without launching an object with
right click
balance: kinesis module stuns last until the kinesis stops
add: admin suit has a version of kinesis that can pick up anything at
any range and can be configured to make grabbed mobs phase through walls
:)

* kinesis changes + smaller misc modsuit stuff
