* ninja energy net uses a projectile (#77423)
## About The Pull Request
the ninja energy net uses a projectile instead of being an instant
click, it also has a cooldown of 5 seconds, up from 1.5 seconds
improves some of the energy net code
the net also deletes itself when the suit turns off
## Why It's Good For The Game
This module is not that fun for either of the sides
For people fighting the ninja, getting instantly stuck with no
counterplay isn't that fun.
For the ninja, the cooldown on a missed use is pretty debilitating and
it's annoying to try and snipe someone.
Being a projectile means people can run away from it, and the ninja can
just shoot it, he doesn't have to try clicking 50 times.
## Changelog

balance: Space Ninja's energy net uses a projectile to catch people now.

* MOD Complexity rebalance (#76077)
## About The Pull Request
Reduced the cost of a lot of MODules.
Pathfinder 2 -> 1
Tether 3 -> 1
Temperature Regulator 2 -> 1
DNA lock 2 -> 1
Health analyzer 2 -> 1
Sonar 2 -> 1
Microwave beam 2 -> 1
Drill 2 -> 1
All visors (including NV and thermals) 2 -> 1
Circuit Adapter 2 -> 1
The Mining MODsuit has had its complexity increased to 15 and now starts
with the eating apparatus module, with a total base complexity of 10/15
now.
The Prototype MODsuit's active slowdown has been decreased from 1.5 (!)
to 1.
## Why It's Good For The Game
> Reduced the cost of a lot of MODules.
There's lots of cute little MODules here, and they are all despite their
'small' cost far too expensive for them to ever be used. The small
little cost adds up, when you consider that two 2-complexity modules
cost FOUR, which is more than most good modules (that are 3), especially
when storage modules take up 3 complexity already. Think about it like
genetics, imagine if geladikinesis cost 40 instability. It'd be
pointless and just make it not used.
> Pathfinder 2 -> 1
Pathfinder is a little buggy, a bit janky, and still just a commodity,
so this might let captains keep it for themselves more often when
they're kitting out their MOD.
> Tether 3 -> 1
Tether costing 3 complexity is ABSURD. That's as much as the actual ion
jetpacks, and that's for something which you can replace completely with
a fire extinguisher, not even including the tiny 4 tiles tethering
range.
> Temperature Regulator 2 -> 1
This is vital for spacewalking, I really don't know why it's this
expensive. Hell it should be the norm, but whatevs.
> DNA lock 2 -> 1
Nobody's ever going to use this if it can just be EMPed and broken...
especially when it costs 2 complexity, which is the same cost as defibs,
surgical processor, holster, criminal capture..
> Health analyzer 2 -> 1
This is just a health analyzer. A small item that you're paying for the
privilege of being able to have it in your janksuit. It really shouldn't
cost 2 complexity, nobody ever takes this.
> Sonar 2 -> 1
I don't think there's much of a reason for sonar to be 2 complexity. You
might think it's nuts, but sonar really isn't that useful as it's a
windup with a screen-only range. Making it 1 might let it be seen ingame
at some point.
> Microwave beam 2 -> 1
Despite the cool name this just fries food. I don't think that should be
expensive!
> Drill 2 -> 1
The drill module is mostly redundant when by the time you get it,
chances are you have a plasma cutter already which is usually better, if
not as space-efficient. There's also the dumb issue with drilling into
gibtonite which instantly blows it up.
> All visors (including NV and thermals) 2 -> 1
Similarly to the health analyzer, chances are if you HAVE the module you
don't actually *need* it as you're already.. that job.
Additionally, and this is also part of the reason for the NV, thermal,
and even the health analyzer modules, is that traitors/nukies now have
to balance MOD economy alongside TC count, and I can't tell you just how
frustrating it is to buy something and be told I don't have enough
complexity to put it into the MODsuit. I already spent the damn TC!
> Circuit Adapter 2 -> 1
This thing seems pretty useless. All it can really do is open and close
your modsuit, which like, wow okay. No need for it to be expensive.
> The Mining MODsuit has had its complexity increased to 15 and now
starts with the eating apparatus module, with a total base complexity of
10/13 now.
The complexity increase is because for some reason the MODsuit is
already filled to the brim by default, which means that actually
interacting with robotics in any way is thoroughly disincentivized as
you'd need to take so many modules out to do so that it makes the
purchase and interaction pointless. Now you CAN go and ask robotics for
anything you need, though there isn't much a miner would want and value
enough to trek across the station, for now.
Also, it starts with the eating apparatus because it really looked like
it should! The flavor text even talks about miners, it's strange for
that to be there if miners won't use it. It'll also encourage it to
actually be bought more by allowing you to eat through it.
> The Prototype MODsuit's active slowdown has been decreased from 1.5
(!) to 1.
1.5 is a lot, A LOT, of slowdown. For such an incredibly rare mod, it
completely kills the damn thing, even for the charlie station crew! You
can't fight xenos with 1.5 slowdown! Having Kinesis isn't enough of a
reason to cripple it so thoroughly and pointlessly. It's 0.4 now, which
is a nice middleground between 'fast' suits like the medical and
security ones, and the 'slow' ones like civilian, engineering, science.

* MODsuit module update: new stuff and improved old stuff (#67042)
Doubles the range of the MOD Pathfinder AI
Fixes modules rendering below the suit.
Adds the ability for modules to be used when inactive.
Documents/cleans up some code.
Updates some old descriptions and explains some concepts better.
Armor Booster and Ash Accretion can no longer boost your speed over no slowdown at all.
Makes flashlight module start with 4 instead of 3 range, so it's better for people that don't know about configuration.
Doubles t-ray module range, from 2 to 4 (t-ray scanner is 3).
Puts the noslip module lower in progression, lowers its' price to 2.
New sprites for the magnetic harness module by Onule.
Brings back the holster module, it can now be used when the suit is inactive, can be printed with security suit research.
Adds the power kick module for the ERT Commander. It's a powerful kick.

* Pepper spray module for sec modsuits, Atmos resin module and nukie pyro bundle flamethrower made into module (#64934)
Pyro bundle was broken as when you brought it you would get modsuit and pyro backpack forcing you to either use armor or use backpack without fire protection(which modsuit has). Thanks to Fikou work it became a module
Anti-Tider on the other hand is rarely used(i have never seen it used when i was playing sec or observing) and needed a little buff so now it will also became a module while i will make normal Anti-Tider stream wider(still working on it).

* Mining MODsuit Rework (#64688)
makes dropkey deactivate device modules
fixes speed potion being fucky
fixes doubled up balloon alerts
makes some cell code better i think
makes the gps module open the gps tgui for you, instead of putting a gps in your hand
the loader suit can now hold mailbags
Reworks the mining modsuit.
The suit is no longer cold-proof (this can be mitigated by using module space for thermal regulators)
The suit fits less modules than standard suits, but cant burn in lava.
In suit storage it can carry ore bags, resonators and kinetic crushers.
It features a storage, gps, ore bag, drill, clamp and by default comes with a plasma core, being recharged with plasma ore rather than by power cell.
Features two new modules:
Ash Accretion, it gathers dust from basalt (or snow) you walk on to create a layer of ash around the suit, acting as armor and a speed up that quickly drains when you walk on other terrain.
Sphere Transform, turns you into a fast moving ball that can travel past lava, you cannot use your hands when in this form, but you can launch aoe mining bombs to attack or mine
