## About The Pull Request
The fishing skill now improves the casting range of the rod by 1 turf at
expert level and 2 at legendary level. It also reduces the delay for
reeling objects (not the fishing minigame), which by default is 0.8
seconds, up to 0.3 seconds. Reeling objects also provides a pitiable
amount of fishing experience.
Fishing on fishing spots with particularly low difficulty compared to
the overall skill level now reduces the experience gained. Keep in mind
fishing also provides a exp bonus based on difficulty regardless of
skill level. This just serves to mitigate the bonus from toilets & co at
high level.
## Why It's Good For The Game
A good angler should know how to spin the rod and cast the line farther
than the average person, and reel in objects faster.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: The fishing skill now positively affects fishing rod cast range
and reeling objects outside of the minigame. Reeling objects also
provides a pitiable amount of fishing experience.
balance: High fishing skill now reduces experience gained from low
difficulty fishing spots.
sound: Removed noise from reeling sounds.

### Added container rustle sounds for:

### De-hard coded container rustle sounds so now you can change the
sound path on subtypes.
## Why It's Good For The Game
- Hearing the same cloth rustling SFX for boxes, toolboxes and medkits,
when they're clearly not made of cloth is immersion breaking, let's fix
that.
- giving players satisfying sounds when they open containers and an
overall diversity of sounds will reduce ear fatigue
- rustle SFX were previously hard coded and you couldn't change them or
change the `vary` boolean, we should keep the code customizable and
allow contributors to add more rustle sounds by implementing this

* Night Vision Goggles update (#84594)
## About The Pull Request
This is a reboot of #84550 but with way less unbearable: mesons are off
the table and I've made the night vision tonalities lighter now, while
also improving the darkness cutoffs of some of them. Btw, you can also
turn night vision googles on/off now. Each pair of departmental night
vision goggles now comes with their own tint to boot.
As always, this doesn't affect nukies and ninjas. They're almost
garaunteed to keep their googles equipped and on at all time, so it
would honestly adulterate the overall experience a little.
Now, for some pictures...
In the dark, **top** row is **old**, **bottom** row is **new**. from
left to right: security, science, standard/meson, diagnostic, health:
In the light: security, science, no goggles, standard/meson, diagnostic,
health:
The screenshots were taken from varedited goggles on the servers because
it's bit faster than booting up a local server, plus I had to finetune a
few things.
## Why It's Good For The Game
So, I kinda wanted to give a bit of screen colors to goggles that was
not some sort of "optional, by default turned off" kind of crap nobody
cares about, however my previous PR was met with a lot of criticism,
which made me rethink how to do it. I honestly don't want it to be a
burden, but I do want to make them a bit fancier tho.
Also the the medical NVs (and perhaps sec NVs) were a bit crappier than
the rest.

add: You can turn your night vision goggles off. Doing so removes the

Essentially, this exists as an item to justify a heavy investment into
cybernetics and augmentations.
EMP is far too common to justify using them in a combat scenario, nukies
have lessened this issue with their shield module, and the crew can now
do so through late tech anomaly research.
*Features*
- locked behind anomaly tech (duh), you need a refined flux core
combined with the shell.
- Can be manually installed, it will however fuck you up if you do so.
- provides total immunity to shocks and emps.
- Increases your passive blood regeneration.
- Recharges any electrical devices on your person (stabilized yellow
slime).
- If you fall into crit, grants the tenacity (you can keep fighting
while you are in crit basically) and no damage slowdown trait for 30
seconds, you will also keep on regenerating health, it won't heal past
crit treshold however, (5 minutes cooldown).
- If removed through surgery or evisceration, it gets vaporized while
releasing a Tesla shock.

* Adds Atmos-themed Rebar Crossbow Ammo Types (and minor balance changes) (#83310)
## About The Pull Request
So this PR comes in two basic parts: the new ammo types and the minor
balance changes. I'll go over each separately.
**--- NEW AMMO TYPES ---**
-- Metallic Hydrogen Ammo: Made from Metallic Hydrogen, obviously. Has
middling damage and no dismemberment chance, but pierces through armor
and enemies like they weren't even there.
-- Zaukerite Slivers: Made from a zaukerite crystal. Does high toxic
damage, and has excellent wounding and embed chances, but lacking in
armor penetration. Also gives 1 second of blurry vision if it hits you!
-- Paper balls: Crafted from a sheet of paper. Mostly just a throwing
joke item, and 99% nonlethal like donksoft. Can be fired from a
crossbow, but also could be used if you wanted to have a snowball fight
on metastation.
-- Healium Crystal Bolts! Crafted (using menu) from the healium grenade
item. Heals 30 of brute/tox/burn, but puts who is hit by it to sleep for
three seconds, limiting its use in actual combat.
-- Supermatter Bolts: Dusts whoever you shoot it at! Absurdly
overpowered! Admin only!
-- A makeshift quiver, made from cutting a o2 tank in half, to store all
the ammo in.
**MINOR BALANCE CHANGES**
-- For some reason I thought the 357, which the traitor crossbow is a
direct competitor to, did 40 damage when making the first version of the
PR, instead of the reality of it doing 60. It's been buffed to 55
damage. (The basic engi one still does 35.)
-- I've been informed that generally, the stressed rebar crossbow isn't
ever used, as the misfire chance isnt worth the extra shot. As such, I
felt it was thematic to say that the stressing procedure involves
messing with the draw system in the fluff, and the stressed one now
takes half as long to rack.
**OTHER CRAP**
-- The rods now drop themselves if you shoot them at a wall. Hopefully.
-- Fixed the the non-bare wound chance on the traitor crossbow not being
increased from the base version.
-- Has a nice electronic discharge noise on firing.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I'm very happy with the reception of the rebar crossbow, and felt that
given it was an engi weapon at heart, giving it some engi-related
ammunition would fit it very well (and also have a good reason for
making zaukerite besides selling it.) The paper balls were more just so
the crew could able to shoot their buddies with it and not maim them.
As for the balance, I feel the tot crossbow being department restricted
is already a strong factor in it being infrequently seen, and if someone
is lucky enough to roll traitor in a job slot, it's a shame if their
job's items aren't worth it. The stressed variant is a similar case, and
I hope it's enough of a buff to encourage its use.
## Changelog
🆑 WebcomicArtist
add: Added zaukerite (high damage/embed, low AP) and metallic hydrogen
(High AP and piercing, but low embed) crossbow ammo for the rebar
crossbows
add: Added healium crystal ammo for the crossbow as well, which heals
whomever you shoot it at.
add: Added admin-only supermatter crossbow bolts that dust you, because
why the hell not.
add: Added non-harmful paper balls. Can be shot from a crossbow, or
thrown at co-workers.
add: Added a quiver made from cutting an o2 tank in half, to hold it
all.
image: added sprites for all the above.
balance: Traitor Engineer Crossbow ammo now does 55 damage instead of
45, to make it compete with revolver.
balance: Stressed Rebar Crossbow now has a shorter delay required to
rack it, but can shoot you in the face on misfire.
fix: fixed rebar crossbow shots not dropping items on hitting walls
fix: fixed traitor crossbow having worse wound chance than the base one
sound: added new crossbow firing sound effect

takes half as long to rack.
**OTHER CRAP**
-- The rods now drop themselves if you shoot them at a wall. Hopefully.
-- Fixed the the non-bare wound chance on the traitor crossbow not being
increased from the base version.
-- Has a nice electronic discharge noise on firing.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I'm very happy with the reception of the rebar crossbow, and felt that
given it was an engi weapon at heart, giving it some engi-related
ammunition would fit it very well (and also have a good reason for
making zaukerite besides selling it.) The paper balls were more just so
the crew could able to shoot their buddies with it and not maim them.
As for the balance, I feel the tot crossbow being department restricted
is already a strong factor in it being infrequently seen, and if someone
is lucky enough to roll traitor in a job slot, it's a shame if their
job's items aren't worth it. The stressed variant is a similar case, and
I hope it's enough of a buff to encourage its use.
