## About The Pull Request
There was a feedback that the new techweb made it harder to do science
on ghost roles, namely Charlie station crew.
This PR makes a few tweaks to oldstation to lower the bar on the
experiments:
- Added a pure N2O tank for easier BZ creation
- Added one diamond to the ai sat to create artificial BS crystal
- Added research console to ai sat with frontier app pre-installed
- Added a gas compressor to Beta station atmos area
Also moved the NTNet relay back to tcomms node as it requires tcomms
parts. And moved chem pack/blood pack from tier 1 to tier 0 per players`
request.
Also fixed the dissection experiments giving the old amount of bonus
points, before the recent point denomination.
Made a few other minor changes to the map.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Charlie is supposed to be friendly for the beginner players, yet the new
experiments are hard to do with the limited resources on Charlie.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: It is easier to do some required techweb experiments on Charlie
station now
fix: Fixed experimental dissection surgeries giving too many points
balance: Techweb: Moved NTNet relay back to tcomms node
balance: Techweb: Moved blood pack and chem pack to the starting node

Since non-clothing items can also be worn on several slots, there's no
need for cigarettes/vapes to be subtypes of masks anymore, since that
comes with a few oddities like #82870.

## About The Pull Request
1. Fixes the modsuit pathfinder module's pathfinding for the second
time. This time AI idling broke it, we just make it not idle.
2. Changes the heuristic used by JPS nodes from Chebyshev distance to
Euclidean distance. I have no real logical explanation, it just appeared
to produce a more optimal path. CC @LemonInTheDark
3. Renames `get_dist_euclidian()` to `get_dist_euclidean()`.
Red line: Euclidean dist JPS path (roughly)
Green line: Chebyshev dist JPS path (roughly)

## About The Pull Request
As the title says. A standard power cell now only stores 10 KJ and
drains power similar to how it did before the refactor to all power
appliances.
The new standard megacell stock part stores 1 MJ (what cells store right
now). APCs and SMESs have had their power cells replaced with these
megacell stock parts instead. Megacells can only be used in APCs and
SMESs. It shouldn't be possible to use megacells in any typical
appliance.
This shouldn't change anything about how much 'use' you can get out of a
power cell in regular practice. Most should operate the same and you
should still get the same amount of shots out of a laser gun, and we can
look at expanding what can be switched over to megacells, e.g. if we
want mechs to require significantly more power than a typical appliance.
Thanks to Meyhazah for the megacell icon sprites.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Power cell consumption is way too high ever since the power appliance
refactor that converted most things to be in joules. It's a bit
ridiculous for most of our machinery to drain the station's power supply
this early on.
The reason it's like this is because regular appliances (laser guns,
borgs, lights) all have a cell type that is identical to the APC/SMES
cell type. And it means that if we want to provide an easy way to charge
these appliances without making it easy to charge APCs/SMESs through a
power bug exploit, we need to introduce a new cell type to differentiate
between what supplies power and regular appliances that use power. This
is primarily what the megacell stock part does.
This moves us back to what it was originally like before the power
refactor, where recharging power cells wouldn't drain an exorbitant
amount of energy. However, it maintains the goal of the original
refactor which was to prevent people from cheesing power generation to
produce an infinite amount of power, as the power that APCs and SMESs
operate at is drastically different from the power that a regular
appliance uses.
## Changelog
🆑 Watermelon, Mayhazah
balance: Drastically reduces the power consumption and max charge of
power cells
balance: Added a new stock part called the battery, used primarily in
the construction of APCs and SMESs.
add: Suiciding with a cell/battery will shock you and potentially dust
you/shock the people around you if the charge is great enough.

## About The Pull Request
Sooooooooo I was recently notified of an issue (#84185) that popped up
from me replacing the `attackby(...)` chain on id cards, where it's no
longer possible to put money into IDs inside of PDAs by slapping it
against the PDA.
As I expected, this is because modular computers both still use
`attackby(...)`, and would call `attackby(...)` on the ID they contained
if hit with cash.
24a23009e8/code/modules/modular_computers/computers/item/computer.dm (L799)
Now this could've been an easy one line no-gbp fix where I just replace
it with a direct call to `insert_money(...)` on the ID and call it a
day!
But hey. Might as well get rid of the `attackby(...)` altogether while
we're at it.
First off, because the `attackby(...)` proc was getting quite bloated,
we split off all the specific item behaviours into `[X]_act(...)` type
procs to clean it up.
We then make those return item interaction flags, so we can call them on
`item_interaction(...)` after the right typecheck passes and immediately
return their results.
This also involves replacing the `application_attackby(...)` on
applications with an `application_item_interaction(...)`, and making it
return the item interaction flags too.
The code of each subsection isn't significantly different, though
reorganized a bit in some cases.
Like inserting a computer disks now tries to move it into the computer
_first_ before swapping out whichever disk is already in there, so it
doesn't swap out the disk if putting the new one in fails.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes#84185.
Having more stuff be updated to the proper `item_interaction(...)`
system is cool and good.

## About The Pull Request
This Pull makes a few minor improvements to the features I added with
vendor cargo (#81582).
Changes are as follows:
* Vending machines, when restocked with a refill pack and while
containing a number of credits, will play a cash register sound to alert
you that there's a payout associated with the action.
* The Vending Restock app now works on all modular computer platforms,
as opposed to just laptops and tablets.
* This is actually hilarious because I even made a screen icon for
modular consoles, and it's just been unused ever since merge.
* The "cargochat" cargo modular console now has the vendor refill app
pre-installed.
* Vending machines, when determining their missing inventory during the
associated station trait, now adds from 1-5 credits per missing item, up
from 0-1. The original number was far too low to feel like a strong
incentive based on feedback I'd received, and while still lower than
providing a flat percentage of the missing item specifically (we ran
some numbers on this a few months back), it should at least incentivize
players to keep the station better stocked during regular rounds.
Also, the UI now shows a difference between if all vending machines are
stocked or not.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Most of these are just interfacing and ease of use improvements, as
having the app pre-installed in a place where players can actually make
some use of it's contents should help to improve it's versatility with
regards to the restocking app.
Audio feedback is always good.
In terms of the balance tweak on the stored value on vending machines,
basically it's a way to better incentivize it as an option on the
station and to better encourage players to do these kinds of minor
upkeep tasks for the crew.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: Vending machines now give audio feedback when you restock a vending
refill and get a payout.
qol: The Restock tracker NTOS app for tracking vending machine contents
now works on all consoles, and comes pre-installed on the cargochat
cargo computers.
balance: Vending machines now offer a bit more credits when missing
contents at the start of a round after getting restocked.

## About The Pull Request
I was looking at sounds (as you do) and I noticed this

These sounds don't exist
We have `portal_open_1`, not `portal_open1`.
This wasn't caught on compile because they used `""` and not `''`.
So I went through and audited a bunch of playsound uses that don't use
`''`. Only one error, fortunately
Likewise there was a ton of places running `get_sfx` pointlessly
(because `playsound` does it for you) so I clened that up.
However while auditing the portal stuff I noticed a few oddities, so I
cleaned it up a bit.
Also also I added the portal sounds to the wormholes event and gave it a

## About The Pull Request
Same idea as #82656 but for ctrl click & ctrl shift click cause why not
- Does your signal & `can_perform_action()` checks using
`interaction_flags_click` flags before delegating the event down to
`ctrl_click()` proc.
- The one new change now is that `ctrl_click()` proc is now blocking,
meaning returning `CLICK_ACTION_SUCCESS` or `CLICK_ACTION_BLOCKING` will
stop the object from getting grabbed/pulled. So remember to return these
values if you want to stop the grab action or return `NONE` if you want
to process the click but still want the object to get grabbed as well

refactor: Ctrl click & Ctrl shift click has been refactored. Please

## About The Pull Request
Mouse drag & drop has been refactored into its own attack chain. The
flowchart below summarizes it

Brief summary of each proc is as follows
**1. `atom/MouseDrop()`**
- It is now non overridable. No subtype should ever touch this proc
because it performs 2 basic checks
a) Measures the time between mouse down & mouse release. If its less
than `LENIENCY_TIME`(0.1 seconds) then the operation is not considered a
drag but a simple click
b) Measures the distance squared between the drag start & end point. If
its less than `LENIENCY_DISTANCE`(16 pixels screen space) then the drag
is considered too small and is discarded
- These 2 sanity checks for drag & drop are applied across all
operations without fail
**2. `atom/base_mouse_drop_handler()`**
- This is where atoms handle mouse drag & drop inside the world. Ideally
it is non overridable in most cases because it also performs 2 checks
- Is the dragged object & the drop target adjacent to the player?.
Screen elements always return true for this case
- Additional checks can be enforced by `can_perform_action()` done only
on the dragged object. It uses the combined flags of
`interaction_flags_mouse_drop` for both the dragged object & drop target
to determine if the operation is feasible.
We do this only on the dragged object because if both the dragged object
& drop target are adjacent to the player then `can_perform_action()`
will return the same results when done on either object so it makes no
difference.
Checks can be bypassed via the `IGNORE_MOUSE_DROP_CHECKS` which is used
by huds & screen elements or in case you want to implement your own
unique checks
**3. `atom/mouse_drop_dragged()`**
- Called on the object that is being dragged, drop target passed here as
well, subtypes do their stuff here
- `COMSIG_MOUSEDROP_ONTO` is sent afterwards. It does not require
subtypes to call their parent proc
**4. `atom/mouse_drop_receive()`**
- Called on the drop target that is receiving the dragged object,
subtypes do their stuff here
- `COMSIG_MOUSEDROPPED_ONTO` is sent afterwards. It does not require
subtypes to call their parent proc
## Why It's Good For The Game
Implements basic sanity checks across all drag & drop operations. Allows
us to reduce code like this
8c8311e624/code/game/machinery/dna_scanner.dm (L144-L145)
Into this
```
if(!iscarbon(target))
return
```
I'm tired of seeing this code pattern `!Adjacent(user) ||
!user.Adjacent(target)` copy pasted all over the place. Let's just write
that at the atom level & be done with it

While we try to have the datetimes of all vms synced to within 100ms of
eachother, via a cluster of time servers and intercepting all ntp
traffic in the vm lan towards the cluster, this isn't perfect and so
things putting time onto the database server should use the time at the
database server as much as it can.
To avoid confusion, i have renamed `SQLtime()` to `ISOtime()` to avoid
the likely hood its cargo culted onto database code again. ISOtime is
still a bad name, but there isn't a good name for this kind of time
format, like ISO8601, but human readable (so no `T` between date and
time and less other nonsense), with an assumption of GMT, thats not
SQLtime(), and SQLtime(). Suggestions welcome.

Discussed this morning in coder general:
* Lots of functions have been moved to PDAs, but their batteries deplete

* Dedicated PDA chargers are not wanted per Mothblocks, and would be map
clutter
* Existing rechargers cannot be made more available because they
recharge guns, but are the only 'obvious' way to recharge PDAs.
* PDA batteries can actually be removed and externally recharged - but
there is nothing in game telling players this.
* There is also nothing on the wiki telling players this.
* Left click w/ screwdriver = nothing, but right click removes cell is

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#82440
This PR just creates a new macro, `LOWER_TEXT()` (yes the irony is not
lost on me) to wrap around all calls of `lowertext()` and ensure that
whatever we input into that proc will be stringified using the `"[]"`
(or `tostring()` for the nerds) operator. very simple.
I also added a linter to enforce this (and prevent all forms of
regression) because I think that machines should do the menial work and
we shouldn't expect maintainers to remember this, let me know if you
disagree. if there is a time when it should be opted out for some
reason, the linter does respect it if you wrap your input with the
`UNLINT()` function.
## About The Pull Request
I've seen a few cases in the past where LateInitialize is done cause of
the init return value being set to do so for no real reason, I thought I
should try to avoid that by ensuring LateInitialize isn't ever called
without overriding.
This fixes a ton of machine's LateInitialize not calling parent
(mechpad, door buttons, message monitor, a lot of tram machines,
abductor console, holodeck computer & disposal bin), avoiding having to
set itself up to be connected to power. If they were intended to not
connect to power, they should be using ``NO_POWER_USE`` instead.
Also removes a ton of returns to LateInit when it's already getting it
from parent regardless (many cases of that in machine code).
## Why It's Good For The Game
I think this is better for coding standard reasons as well as just
making sure we're not calling this proc on things that does absolutely
nothing with them. A machine not using power can be seen evidently not
using power with ``NO_POWER_USE``, not so much if it's LateInitialize
not calling parent.

## About The Pull Request
When it comes to deconstructing an object we have `proc/deconstruct()` &
`NO_DECONSTRUCT`
Lets talk about the flag first.
**Problems with `NO_DECONSTRUCTION`**
I know what the comment says on what it should do
b5593bc693/code/__DEFINES/obj_flags.dm (L18)
But everywhere people have decided to give their own meaning/definition
to this flag. Here are some examples on how this flag is used
**1. Make the object just disappear(not drop anything) when
deconstructed**
This is by far the largest use case everywhere. If an object is
deconstructed(either via tools or smashed apart) then if it has this
flag it should not drop any of its contents but just disappear. You have
seen this code pattern used everywhere
b5593bc693/code/game/machinery/constructable_frame.dm (L26-L31)
This behaviour is then leveraged by 2 important components.
When an object is frozen, if it is deconstructed it should just
disappear without leaving any traces behind
b5593bc693/code/datums/elements/frozen.dm (L66-L67)
By hologram objects. Obviously if you destroy an hologram nothing real
should drop out
b5593bc693/code/modules/holodeck/computer.dm (L301-L304)
And there are other use cases as well but we won't go into them as they
aren't as significant as these.
**2. To stop an object from being wrenched ??**
Yeah this one is weird. Like why? I understand in some instances (chair,
table, rack etc) a wrench can be used to deconstruct a object so using
the flag there to stop it from happening makes sense but why can't we
even anchor an object just because of this flag?
b5593bc693/code/game/objects/objs.dm (L368-L369)
This is one of those instances where somebody just decided this
behaviour for their own convenience just like the above example with no
explanation as to why
**3. To stop using tools to deconstruct the object**
This was the original intent of the flag but it is enforced in few
places far & between. One example is when deconstructing the a machine
via crowbar.
b5593bc693/code/game/machinery/_machinery.dm (L811)
But machines are a special dual use case for this flag. Because if you
look at its deconstruct proc the flag also prevents the machine from
spawning a frame.
b5593bc693/code/game/machinery/_machinery.dm (L820-L822)
How can 1 flag serve 2 purposes within the same type?
**4. Simply forget to check for this flag altogether**
Yup if you find this flag not doing its job for some objects don't be
surprised. People & sometimes even maintainers just forget that it even
exists
b5593bc693/code/game/objects/items/piggy_bank.dm (L66-L67)
**Solution**
These are the main examples i found. As you can see the same flag can
perform 2 different functions within the same type and do something else
in a different object & in some instances don't even work cause people
just forget, etc.
In order to bring consistency to this flag we need to move it to the
atom level where it means the same thing everywhere. Where in the atom
you may ask? .Well, I'll just post what MrMelbert said in
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81656#discussion_r1503086862
> ...Ideally the .deconstruct call would handle NO_DECONSTRUCTION
handling as it wants,
Yup that's the ideal case now. This flag is checked directly in
`deconstruct()`. Now like i said we want to give a universal definition
to this flag and as you have seen from my examples it is used in 3 cases
1) Make an object disappear(doesn't dropping anything) when
deconstructed
2) Stop it from being wrenched
3) Stop it from being deconstructed via tools
We can't enforce points 2 & 3 inside `deconstruct()` which leaves us
with only case 1) i.e. make the object disappear. And that's what i have
done. Therefore after more than a decade or since this flag got
introduced `NO_DECONSTRUCT` now has a new definition as of 2024
_"Make an object disappear(don't dropping anything) when deconstructed
either via tools or forcefully smashed apart"_
Now i very well understand this will open up bugs in places where cases
2 & 3 are required but its worth it. In fact they could even be qol
changes for all we know so who knows it might even benefit us but for
now we need to give a universal definition to this flag to bring some
consistency & that's what this PR does.
**Problem with deconstruct()**
This proc actually sends out a signal which is currently used by the
material container but could be used by other objects later on.
3e84c3e6da/code/game/objects/obj_defense.dm (L160)
So objects that override this proc should call its parent. Sadly that
isn't the case in many instances like such
3e84c3e6da/code/game/machinery/deployable.dm (L20-L23)
Instead of `return ..()` which would delete the object & send the signal
it deletes the object directly thus the signal never gets sent.
**Solution**
Make this proc non overridable. For objects to add their own custom
deconstruction behaviour a new proc has been introduced
`atom_deconstruct()` Subtypes should now override this proc to handle
object deconstruction.
If objects have certain important stuff inside them (like mobs in
machines for example) they want to drop by handling `NO_DECONSTRUCT`
flag in a more carefully customized way they can do this by overriding
`handle_deconstruct()` which by default delegates to
`atom_deconstruct()` if the `NO_DECONSTRUCT` flag is absent. This proc
will allow you to handle the flag in a more customized way if you ever
need to.
## Why It's Good For The Game
1) I'm goanna post the full comment from MrMelbert
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81656#discussion_r1503086862
> ...Ideally the .deconstruct call would handle NO_DECONSTRUCTION
handling as it wants, but there's a shocking lack of consistency around
NO_DECONSTRUCTION, where some objects treat it as "allow deconstruction,
but make it drop no parts" and others simply "disallow deconstruction at
all"
This PR now makes `NO_DECONSTRUCTION` handled by `deconstruct()` & gives
this flag the consistency it deserves. Not to mention as shown in case 4
there are objects that simply forgot to check for this flag. Now it
applies for those missing instances as well.
2) No more copying pasting the most overused code pattern in this code
base history `if(obj_flags & NO_DECONSTRUCTION)`. Just makes code
cleaner everywhere
3) All objects now send the `COMSIG_OBJ_DECONSTRUCT` signal on object
deconstruction which is now available for use should you need it
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: refactors how objects are deconstructed in relation to the
`NO_DECONSTRUCTION` flag. Certain objects & machinery may display
different tool interactions & behaviours when destroyed/deconstructed.
Report these changes if you feel like they are bugs

## About The Pull Request
- Departmental orders are now an NTOS app
- To download, they require `ACCESS_COMMAND`.
- To use, they require one access from the department.
- This means you cannot order things from not-your-department unless you
have an ID.
- When newly downloading the app, it will prompt a head of staff to
insert an ID, to determine which department to be linked to.
- Changes chat room overlay from the kind that AI uploads use to a new
icon.
- Minor refactors to department order in general.


## Why It's Good For The Game
These two computers are surprising waste spacers for two things which
are tied together.
So why not combine them?
The lesser used cargobus chat is still there, and departmental orders
are front and center.
This gives mappers a ton more leeway when mapping departments out and is
overall less clutter.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
qol: Cargobus chat console and Departmental Order console are now
combined into one.
qol: Mod PCs active on the "chat client" apps no longer look like AI
uploads (and now have their own sprite)
refactor: Departmental order consoles were refactored a bit, report any
oddities.

## About The Pull Request
Removes the camera assembly structure middleman between the camera
wallframe and camera machine. All its behavior has been instead moved to
the camera, and I've tried to keep as much of the behavior the same as
before.
This also fixes the issue that camera assemblies had where, upon the
construction being finished, it would move itself into the newly
finished camera machine, therefore taking itself off a wall, therefore
deconstructing itself. This resulted in 2 piece of iron being in each
camera machine (except roundstart ones), and because camera machines
rely on the assembly inside of them for upgrades and such, upgrading
didn't work at all.
I've also made camera nets use defines (not in map) so it's easier to
find a list of them all, and tried to add autodoc comments to nearly
every var in camera code.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Removes copy paste and spaghetti code between structure and machine
camera, thus making it easier to work around with.

## About The Pull Request

`check_access` expects an item, such as an ID card, to... check access.
Not a mob.
We can circumvent this entirely by using `allowed`.
But this has an averse effect in that `allowed` will only check the
user's ID, not the ID in the mod PC.
So we need to run a separate check of `check_access` for the computer ID
card.

## About The Pull Request
Removes all arbitrary energy and power units in the codebase. Everything
is replaced with the joule and watt, with 1 = 1 joule, or 1 watt if you
are going to multiply by time. This is a visible change, where all
arbitrary energy units you see in the game will get proper prefixed
units of energy.
With power cells being converted to the joule, charging one joule of a
power cell will require one joule of energy.
The grid will now store energy, instead of power. When an energy usage
is described as using the watt, a power to energy conversion based on
the relevant subsystem's timing (usually multiplying by seconds_per_tick
or applying power_to_energy()) is needed before adding or removing from
the grid. Power usages that are described as the watt is really anything
you would scale by time before applying the load. If it's described as a
joule, no time conversion is needed. Players will still read the grid as
power, having no visible change.
Machines that dynamically use power with the use_power() proc will
directly drain from the grid (and apc cell if there isn't enough)
instead of just tallying it up on the dynamic power usages for the area.
This should be more robust at conserving energy as the surplus is
updated on the go, preventing charging cells from nothing.
APCs no longer consume power for the dynamic power usage channels. APCs
will consume power for static power usages. Because static power usages
are added up without checking surplus, static power consumption will be
applied before any machine processes. This will give a more truthful
surplus for dynamic power consumers.
APCs will display how much power it is using for charging the cell. APC
cell charging applies power in its own channel, which gets added up to
the total. This will prevent invisible power usage you see when looking
at the power monitoring console.
After testing in MetaStation, I found roundstart power consumption to be
around 406kW after all APCs get fully charged. During the roundstart APC
charge rush, the power consumption can get as high as over 2MW (up to
25kW per roundstart APC charging) as long as there's that much
available.
Because of the absurd potential power consumption of charging APCs near
roundstart, I have changed how APCs decide to charge. APCs will now
charge only after all other machines have processed in the machines
processing subsystem. This will make sure APC charging won't disrupt
machines taking from the grid, and should stop APCs getting their power
drained due to others demanding too much power while charging. I have
removed the delays for APC charging too, so they start charging
immediately whenever there's excess power. It also stops them turning
red when a small amount of cell gets drained (airlocks opening and shit
during APC charge rush), as they immediately become fully charged
(unless too much energy got drained somehow) before changing icon.
Engineering SMES now start at 100% charge instead of 75%. I noticed
cells were draining earlier than usual after these changes, so I am
making them start maxed to try and combat that.
These changes will fix all conservation of energy issues relating to
charging powercells.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes#73438Closes#75789Closes#80634Closes#82031
Makes it much easier to interface with the power system in the codebase.
It's more intuitive. Removes a bunch of conservation of energy issues,
making energy and power much more meaningful. It will help the
simulation remain immersive as players won't encounter energy
duplication so easily. Arbitrary energy units getting replaced with the
joule will also tell people more meaningful information when reading it.
APC charging will feel more snappy.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fixes conservation of energy issues relating to charging
powercells.
qol: APCs will display how much power they are using to charge their
cell. This is accounted for in the power monitoring console.
qol: All arbitrary power cell energy units you see are replaced with
prefixed joules.
balance: As a consequence of the conservation of energy issues getting
fixed, the power consumption for charging cells is now very significant.
balance: APCs only use surplus power from the grid after every machine
processes when charging, preventing APCs from causing others to
discharge while charging.
balance: Engineering SMES start at max charge to combat the increased
energy loss due to conservation of energy fixes.

## About The Pull Request
This PR does many things, I'll try to explain the basic/background stuff
to the main thing first:
1. Adds a new remote that allows a human to function like an AI. It
controls a fly that will fly around the station slowly, and when it
reaches a machine then the person can interact with it as if they were
an AI. This required changing a lot of silicon/AI checks with one that
also checks for this remote, and some messing with shared ui state.
2. Moves req_access from the obj and bot to ``/atom/movable`` which lets
it be shared between the two, no more copy-paste and one side lacking
features/checks/signals the other has.
3. Adds a check for AI config for AI-related station traits, which was
lacking prior
Now for the good part...
Adds a new station trait that replaces the AI with a Human.
This person is equipped with an AI headset (including Binary), an
advanced camera console, an omni door wand, the machine controller, and
their laws.
They are immune to the SAT's turrets (even if set to target borgs) and
are slow outside of the SAT, mimicing the actions of the AI.
They interact with the world through their advanced camera console,
which allows them to do most AI stuff needed, and the holopad they can
connect to without having to ring first (like Command can).
They are given a paper with the laws they must follow, but since they
are human they are able to bend it. Cyborgs that run the default lawset
are "slaved" to them via an unremovable law 0, so the Human AI can bend
the laws if they really need to (for their own survival n such), and
make the cyborgs obey their commands above laws, but in general this
shouldn't be a frequent occurrence. This does take into account the
unique AI trait, so it's not guaranteed Asimov.
When this station trait rolls, all Intellicards, AI uploads, and AI core
boards are destroyed and are unresearchable. They can be spawned by
admins in-game if necessary. Maybe in the future we can also exclude
Oldstation from this but I haven't really decided.
Extra perks:
Human AI spawns with a Robotic voicebox (unless they are a body purist)
and teleport blocking implant, so they can't use teleporters to bypass
their on-station slowdown.
They also have an infinite laser pointer that can be used to blind
through their camera console. This is unfortunately nerfed from the
recent borg balance PR that removed its stun. This was meant to be the
alternative to no longer being able to permanently lock borgs down like
AIs can (or more than one, for that matter).
They aren't affected by Roburgers, Acid, and Fuel's toxicity.
Bots salute them like they do Beepsky (which is now a trait)
They spawn with SyndEye to replace the AI's tracking ability
They do not have a bank account
### The machine remote
The machine remote has a little fly in it that flies to the machines it
is pointed to, working as the arms and legs of the Human AI. It scans
the machine and punches in the action the AI does, and is how the AI
accesses basically anything. This fly slowly moves from one machine to
the next, and can be recalled with Alt Click.
It works on machines and bots.

## Why It's Good For The Game
I've seen a funny screenshot one day of a person replacing the AI by
using a bunch of door remotes, camera console, crew monitoring console,
and a few other things. I've been thinking about that for a few years
and really wanted to make it official if not easier to make possible,
because it is an incredibly funny interaction.
This makes it a reality, and while they aren't as powerful as regular
AIs, I think it makes for better and funnier in-game moments. With the
same weight as Cargorilla (1), I hope this wouldn't be rolling too often
and ruin rounds, but instead show off the different capabilities that
Humans and AIs can do, to do the job of an AI. You win some you lose
some.

## About The Pull Request
While doing my other ID/manifest-related prs, I noticed that the access
management program doesn't update properly when you authenticate,
causing it to not show which templates you can apply until you manually
refresh the UI (close&open, yadayada).
This seemed to be because it calls `update_static_data(user)` on the
program itself, which attempts to find a UI attached to the program for
that user which it then can't find. Calling such on the *computer* lets
it actually find and update the UI.
We then decide to replace it with `update_static_data_for_all_viewers()`
as multiple people could be looking at the consoles in which this
happens most commonly.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It was getting *really* annoying, this fixes that.

## About The Pull Request
This pull request originally had a design doc that @Fikou and I worked
on, but that was never really polished up for publishing quality so I'll
forgo it for now and be as descript as possible here.
### Core changes
- This pull request adds a new NTOS app to the game, the restock
tracker. The restock tracker shows a comprehensive list of vending
machines across the station, as long as there is a need for that vending
machine to get restocked.
- This has also been pre-installed into the cargo data disks.
(`/obj/item/computer_disk/quartermaster`)
- Vending machines now store a total of 20% of the cost of any purchase
made within themselves into a small pool of cash. This only applies to
premium and normal purchases, not to contraband, as they're technically
not sanctioned by the company.
- The restock tracker app will also track which vending machines have
the most credits stored internally inside them.
- By refilling a vending machine, the stored credits within are paid out
to any crewmember who goes and restocks the station, while also paying
out *half that amount to the cargo budget*, serving as a basic but
otherwise easy tertiary money making method on the same level of
complexity as doing bounties, with the added benefit of actually helping
to assist the station for jobs like... assistant.

### Break Stuff
- Anyway, when you try and smash a vending machine open with a melee
weapon of choice, it can now pay out 50 credits at a time as a way to
make money at zero risk to yourself.
- ~~Except for the horrible risk to yourself.~~

### Cargo Specific Changes
- Restock units may now be sold for a small profit as well, to
incentivize cargo to keep the station stocked further.
- The `STATION_TRAIT_VENDING_SHORTAGE` trait will now add a small amount
of existing credits into the vending machines on station, to incentivize
cargo to fix the issue during the round and not just push for an early
shuttle call. Or, more accurately, provide the crew with a money making
scheme to engage better with the station trait as it stands.
### This also refactors behavior on vending machines
- This pull request also finally changes it so that vending machines now
use the payment component, which as a consequence allows for the
following improvements:
* Vending machines may now pull from physical credits on your person,
not just requiring you to have money on your ID card.
* Vending machines may also use credits being pulled by the player
interacting with the vending machine, allowing for handless mobs to be
able to purchase items from a vending machine.
* Finally makes the "use-for-everything buying things component" used by
the most utilized component of the in-game economy, to reduce the
quantity of unique implementations of purchasing things in the code.
- Existing vending specific checks are retained on before handing off
behavior to the payment component, for behavior such as purchasing
cigarettes/alcohol under the age of 18/21.
Notes:
- Vending machines will lose their internal credits stored when
deconstructed, as a security measure.
- Vending machines will now show the total amount of credits that a mob
has on their person, combining physical credits as well as credits held
in their ID card to accurately portray their total wealth across the mob
in question.
## Why It's Good For The Game
First off, this is largely an excuse to move vending machine behavior
over to the payment component for the purposes to less code copy-paste,
and to try and make the implementation more wide-spread.
Second, this implements a new tertiary economy method to the game, in
the same design space as bounties, which serve as common methods of
making money without necessarily being specific to their job in
question, with the primary goal of providing small amounts of work to
the crew and a basic interaction with the economy system.
Additionally, it gives cargo more things they can do to assist the
station, and a way to know which parts of the station need support as a
result.
It improves the interaction between the vending shortage station trait
as well, making it a challenge with depth as opposed to a more
oppressive round change that players would rather reroll the game over.
Additionally, this makes a few price tweaks to vending restock modules
as well to help incentivize buying some of the more minor restock kits,
and a few select bumps on restocks that cover wide enough territory to
necessitate fewer restocks.
players can now download their very own virtual pet through a new PDA
app. this pet is called orbie and u can interact with him in alot of
unique ways
happiness can be increased by regularly grooming ur pet, feeding him, or
u can arrange with other players playdates for ur pets, they can play
with each other and both their happiness will increase
u can get food from ur pet through ur pda, it will assign u a random
drop zone location in the station u need to go to, after which u can
obtain ur pet's food then ur PDA will spawn a virtual chocolate bar that
ur pet loves to eat. it wont assign u dropzone locations that are
restricted or hard to reach, however if the area it assigns u is a bit
difficult to get to, u can reroll the location after a small cooldown
u can also level up ur pet to make it gain new helpful abilities and
more cosmetic options. the main way to level up ur pet is by walking it,
so u can have it follow u while u are doing ur job on the station and it
will passively get exp. u get an increased exp modifier per step if ur
pet is happy and not hungry. At level 2, ur pet will gain an ability to
toggle lights and will also read outloud to u any PDA messages u
recieve. at level 3, ur pet gains a camera ability. u can command it to
take a photo afterwhich the picture will be saved directly in ur pda
u also have alot of customization options for ur pet!
u can change its color, name, gender, and u can make it wear hats! u can
unlock more hats for ur pet if u level it up further. these
customizations change ur pet's hologram appearance as well as its
profile picture on the pet network.
u can view how other player's virtual pets are progressing through the
pet network. each time ur pet reaches a new milestone, an update will
automatically be sent out on the network
if ur pet's milestones gets likes from other players, it will become
happier
this app also allows u to program new tricks for ur pet. U can create a
custom trick sequence, and change the trick's name. If u say the trick's
name outloud to ur pet it will do the sequence u programmed.
## About The Pull Request
Adds a new Trait Job (jobs which only appear when the station gets a
trait for it) - Veteran Advisor.
The weight of the trait is 2 which makes it very rare.
Veteran Security Advisor is a role designated as a (duh) Advisor for the
HoS and Captain, as well as a mentor for all of the Officers. This is
because it has an experience requirement of **100 SECURITY HOURS**, so
no green Veterans.
Veteran Security Advisors are paraplegic (bonded to a wheelchair) and
with PTSD which freezes their mood and sometimes causes hallucinations.
They get an M1911 pistol in a holster because that's badass.

## Why It's Good For The Game
More funny Trait Jobs to the game!
There is a certain lack of those, there is only Cargorilla and Bridge
Assistant.
This job has big opportunities. Advisors can behave themselves like
drill sergeants, or wise old mentors. Because they are kinda, as people
only with 100 Security hours (yes those masochists exist) could play it
when it appears. This will also open opportunities for retired Sec mains
to tutor new generations without being directly involved in all of the
stress.
I mostly took a look at the Goonstation "Nanotrasen Security Consultant"
and Baystation "Senior Enlisted Advisor" as inspiration.
I tried to cut down any chances of this role being abused by power
gamers for its M1911 pistol and Bridge access, due to this they are
paraplegic so power gamers get disgusted, and if someone does somehow
win Antagonists while in a wheelchair - props to them, pure skill.
**REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A TRAIT JOB!** This means they won't appear
every round, but rather rarely! So they fit in as an occasional extra
fun for the round.

## About The Pull Request
Ok so tracking (from the datum) worked, but when used to follow someone
it had a noticable delay from the datum needing to wait for process to
fire to do its work
This would be an expensive proc to run constantly, but we don't really
have to (there are not that many ai eyes in the world). So rather then
only processing to keep step, let's track the target mob by its
movement, and then fall back on a process loop to handle rechecking in
case of camera memes.
This does technically mean you won't "break" the track if the cameras go
out until the tracked mob moves, but I think that's a reasonable price
to pay for more responsive movement. I think I could make our current
system work with it too, though it would be a bit more wasteful. John if
you have opinions just lay into me.
I've also renamed/pulled apart the helper procs for the trackable datum,
with the hope of making how they are used more understandable at a
glance
Oh and rather then holding a weakref since I needed MOVED anyway I just
use QDELETING to free the ref if the mob goes away
### Edit:
#### Glide size touchups
Implements glide size mirroring so we move at the same speed as our
target
Also moves the existing signal to send to the trackable datum itself, as
appears intended from the doc comment
#### AI behavior changes
Rewrites ai movement to be less dumb
OK so 2 things here. One is a behavior change, the other is a visual QOL
thing.
The way ai movement works is we move graduated "steps". Either moving 1,
2, or 3 steps per tick.
We do this by, so long as input is held down, incrementing a number
called "sprint"
Currently it'll go from 10 to 50 (formula effectively looks like steps =
(sprint / 20) + 1))
Anyway, this is... not fine but ok, but the way we handle deceleration
is ass IMO. It's literally just wait 0.5 seconds and sprint resets.
I think this feels crummy, so instead I've made it decay depending on
how long you go between inputs, at 7x greater rate then it increases.
That's the behavior change. Visual change is a lot easier.
Ais were not gliding properly. They assumed they had 4 ticks to move a
tile, rather then 1. This meant they'd jump around constantly, to catch
up to where we expect them to be.
I've fixed this by giving them 1 tick instead. Should feel a lot better
## Why It's Good For The Game
Snappier response times, cleaner code
## Changelog
🆑
add: AI's acceleration now smoothly decays, instead of just falling back
down to 0 after 0.5 seconds
fix: AI's standard movement (non accelerated) is smooth now, instead of
constantly jumping around

issues with them lagging behind anymore

on-purchase, so this adds support to do anything in the future with it.
Also tells players how much TC they actually have without forcing them
to close/reopen the UI every time they insert some TC in it by hand.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Uplinks now update their UI when you add telecrystals in them, so
you don't need to close and reopen it.
