## About The Pull Request
exorcises hardstun weapons + death/poly wands from lootboxes
pulse weapons are of the taserless variant
also all nukeop guns are unrestricted let people have fun bro
also removes the enchanted modsuit from said loot
## Why It's Good For The Game
getting instantly paralyzed with a ranged gun is not fun, never will be
so we just remove those
also being able to use the guns you get from an admin
shitspawn/deathmatch prop is pretty much a fix???
polymorph wands and death wands are stupid and are just taser++ except
they kill you outright (polymorph could make you a rat that would count
as dead personally)
enchanted modsuit entirely shuts down basically 90% of other players
spells which basically invalidates the entire ragin mages map (which
sucks anyway)
## Changelog
🆑
balance: removed tasers, the unfirable turret gun, death wand, polymorph
wands and the enchanted modsuit from lootbox loot tables
fix: lootbox guns should now mostly not have syndicate firing pins so
you can actually use them

## About The Pull Request
The gun code is an absolute mess that seems to have been untouched for
the better part of the decade and finally gave way due to the attack
chain refactor. This PR is the first in my attempts to refactor this
mess by making bayonet attachment a component instead of /obj/item/gun
variables. Followup PRs may or may not be atomic changes or a monolith
due to how horribly the original code is structured.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gun code is ancient, unmaintained, barely readable and started actively
breaking in the past weeks.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Bayonet attachment is now a component.

## About The Pull Request
This PR was originally meant as a replacement for the Bloody Bastard
blade, but then I stopped existing for 7 months. Now that I'm here
again, I'm finishing the job once and for all.
### **HERETICS VERSUS CULTISTS**
### Heretics
Heretics can now sacrifice cultists, which will give them one of three
gifts: The Cursed Blade, the Crimson Focus, and the Rusted Harvester.
The gifts given are weighted to be spread out equally with each type.
They will also gain one knowledge point.
- The Cursed Blade is a free heretic blade that is more powerful than
the normal heretic blade, including a small block chance. It can also be
used to draw heretic runes off combat mode.
- The Crimson Focus is a necklace that grants focusing and a minor
regeneration effect which also affects nearby heretics, at the cost of
gaining the BLOODY_MESS trait while wearing it. Additionally, it can be
squeezed to heal 50 points of brute/burn damage, injecting yourself with
three to six (separately) units of Eldritch ~~Water~~ Essence and Unholy
Water. Yes, this isn't good.
- The Rusted Harvester is a heretic 'monster' summon. It's a normal
Harvester, but instead of Area Conversion and Forcewall, it has
Aggressive Spread and Rust Construction (Raise Wall). It can delimb, but
only cultists, with a delay. It has an aura of decay, corroding the
environment and withering enemies near it, but it's VERY fragile.
Rusting cultist item dispensers will now cause them to turn into a
Heretic object. Altars turn into small heretic runes, Archives turn into
Codex Cicatrixi, Forges turn into Mawed Crucibles.
Ideally, Heretics would be able to gain an amount of these new powers
and use them to turn the tide against the cultists, amassing their power
and almost forming a sect of their own in turn which sweeps over and
converts the cult.
### Cultists
When a Cultist sacrifices a heretic, two things will happen:
- A new item will be available for creation at one of the dispensers.
- The Heretic will be trapped inside a powerful Haunted Blade.
`/obj/item/melee/cultblade/haunted`
` name = "haunted longsword"`
` desc = "An eerie sword with a blade that is less 'black' than it is
'absolute nothingness'. It glows with furious, restrained green
energy."`
This blade will be stronger across-the-board than a normal cult sword,
and will even allow those who wield it to cast one heretic spell from
their previous path. The only downside? The heretic can also cast one
spell. It's up to the trapped spirit if it wants to help you, or be a
nuisance.
The unlocked items are:
- The Cursed Blade, again. For cultists, it can be used to draw runes
twice as fast as usual, and they can even right-click it to teleport to
safety, just like a heretic!
- The Crimson Focus, again. Cultists are twice as fast at carving spells
into their body, and they gain a 5th spellslot as long as they wear the
amulet. It still causes hemophilia and grants weak regeneration.
- The Proteon Orb. This orb will create a gateway to Nar'sie's own
realm, spawning one Proteon every 15 seconds, which ghosts can possess.
The gateways cannot be placed close to one another.
Originally, they were going to be able to create a Harvester Shell, but
there were some concerns of it being too OP.
The true Bastard sword has been fully deleted. The null rod conversion
has been changed to a Bloody Halberd instead.
I'm considering re-enabling Stun Hand on Heretics, with Mansus Grasp
stats.
### Other
All the items above can be used by both Heretics and Cultists, no matter
how they were first created. Hell, even normal crew can use them! This
is probably not the best idea a lot of the time, though.
There are a lot of other changes in this PR. A loooooot. I will likely
miss some in the changelog, but I'll try to be as thorough as possible.
There's probably also some leftover garbo that I didn't find and clear
out yet.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cult and Heretics, despite being mortally opposed, have very few
interactions with eachother, especially now that the Blade's gone. The
only thing of note is just the Heretic's unfair complete resistance to
stun hand, which is only marginally better than the alternative. This PR
will reintroduce their animosity, and give both sides a very, very good
reason to fight eachother.
The Cult will gain a sick sword that keeps the heretic in the game, and
unlike with the original implementation, will recieve a cult-wide bonus
in the form of a powerful, well deserved, and fun new item to summon.
The Heretic will gain powerful trinkets and knowledge from the
sacrifices, incentivizing them to become a terrifying cult-hunter. And
if they do succeed in wiping out the cult, they will have quite the
rewards to help with their ascension.
The crew, while mostly unaffected, will have a damn good reason to not
just Side with the heretic, out of fear of what they may become after
the cult is stomped down. They can also use a few of the items here in
an attempt to get one up on either side, as long as they manage to stay
clear of the side-effects.
Let the heretics eradicate the apostates.
Let the cultists root out the heathens.
The haunted longsword creates an aura of darkness (disabled for the
cultist for the image)
Sprites... are not great. Hopefully someone comes by and improves them.
code: Added get_inactive_hand() as an easy shortcut for carbons
code: Wall walker element can now accept a trait for wall-checking
fix: Fixed soulsword component being unable to invoke the post summon
callback
refactor: Turned Heretic rust turf healing into an element, given to
Rust Walkers and Rusted Harvesters
refactor: Converted Limb Amputation from an element to a component
Blade and Sword sprites by meyhaza!!! I did the inhands though. Cuz im
cool
## About The Pull Request
### Dilemma
So we've been running into a dilemma recently as we move more and more
items over (#84070, #83910)
Some things like modsuits, tables, washing machines, storage items want
to do their tool acts before their item interactions
In the past this was perfectly fine, because it was `tool_act` ->
`attack`, but now it's a problem, because it's `item_interaction` ->
`tool_act` -> `attack`.
Rather than resort to snowflaking, my idea is that we can move tools
back up the chain so deconstruction and other similar effects are
handled first, before anything else like putting the tool onto the
table.
### So why does it require non-combat-mode?
A large amount of tool acts early return if the user's on combat mode to
allow the user to smack the thing instead of using the tool on it. So
I've decided to walk back on what I said like a week ago and make this
standardized behavior.
### Misc
Reintroducing `tool_act` as a proc that exist means that atoms can
easily hook certain interactions that must happen very high in the click
chain, such as doing something that block storage insertion. Moves some
of the behaviors I put on the (admittedly rather hacky) new proc to
that.
(Also cleaned up a bit of lockbox and medbot code)
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
fix: Fixed modsuit interactions slightly. No longer requires combat mode
to use tools on it, plasma core works as intended as well. (Using combat
mode, however, will make you insert the item)
refactor: Refactored lockboxes
refactor: Refactored medbot skin application

## 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
This sets up an alternative to the DRAGnet snares using the teleporter
to determine the destination of their snare teleport -- The DRAGnet
beacon.
Rather than using a convoluted system that routes via the teleporter,
DRAGnets can now by synced with a DRAGnet beacon. When snare rounds are
fired and successfully teleport a target, they will instead be sent to
the synced beacon. Syncing can be done by either pressing the gun to the
beacon or vice-versa.
These beacons can be wrenched into place, then swiped with a security ID
to block them from being unwrenched. An emag will unlock and unwrench
the beacon, and fry its access control.
To facilitate this change, roundstart DRAGnet armory spawns are now done
through spawners (like the other weapons), which includes a single
beacon to be used by the two guns. You can print more with basic sec
tech, and one is included in the DRAGnet crate from cargo.
The teleport is also slightly more accurate, to make it more consistent.
As usual, if not synced to a beacon, DRAGnets will just teleport your
target willy-nilly.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The current system is both clunky and prone to mishaps, dissuading
players from engaging with it. The "active" teleporter concept has
always been a bit of a mystery to players, and when a system for
properly using the DRAGnet teleport is set up, it's incredibly easy to
break even on accident. Every time you teleport a prisoner you have to
pray that no bumbling space explorer decided to reroute the teleporter
to the abandoned satellite.
This system is much more clear and reliable. It's also more versatile,
allowing for multiple teleport networks to be set up simultaneously.
Security is starved for creativity at times. They deserve to be able to
do some wacky dynamic stuff with their tools.
## Changelog
🆑 Rhials
balance: DRAGnets now come with a beacon they can be synced to, which
will set the destination for the snare round's teleport ability.

## About The Pull Request
Replaces the Particle Acceleration Rifle, or the Beam Marksman Rifle,
with the Event Horizon Anti-Existential Beam Rifle.
In short, it shoots black holes.
It takes five cores to make.
It pretty much kills everything you point it at and their immediate
bystanders as well.
You can do this from the relative safety of a whole four screens away
thanks to it having a scope.
There can only ever be one vortex anomaly made in the round. The recipe,
however, always requires the maximum number of cores that can be made in
a round. If the number goes up for some reason (maybe someone wants to
add more vortex items), so does the total number of cores needed to make
an AEBR.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Firstly; the beam rifle? Awful. Jank code. Bad performance. Ancient
balancing considerations. Just too strong to bring out regularly against
specifically blobs, but completely fucking useless against anyone else.
So I'm hitting all these problems at once. I reduced a 600 line file to
less than 60. I've removed all that bad code. I've also made it
specifically unable to combat blobs at all because singularities send
blobs off to safety.
Secondly; this is maybe the first example of 'more cores = bigger
power'. The rifle was already utterly trash to have around, and I just
didn't think the way it worked currently could really excite anyone
enough to go on a big ol' quest to get it. Solution?
You will cause a shuttle call if you get this weapon.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Replaces the Particle Acceleration Rifle with the Event Horizon
anti-existential beam rifle. It shoots black holes. You can make this
in-game. That's right, YOU!

## About The Pull Request
A previous pull request cleaned borg upgrade code up a lot, and included
a check to prevent duplicate upgrades from being installed. Usually this
is a good thing, but there are some upgrades that are intended to allow
duplicates. Namely, PKA modkits in mining borgs. This PR just fixes
that, so mining borgs can have multiple modkits again. This does NOT
allow borgs to go above the 90% complexity limit on their PKAs, as a
separate piece of code handles that.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Bugs are bad.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Mining borgs can get multiple modkits of the same type installed
again.

## About The Pull Request
Adds some missing variables to instances of get_safe_turf() so they will
only teleport to the given z-level.
Replaces some instances of get_safe_turf() with
get_safe_random_station_turf().
## Why It's Good For The Game
First, the differences between get_safe_turf() and
get_safe_random_station_turf():
### get_safe_turf()
- gets a random safe turf on a z-level (usually any of the staiton
z-levels), not accounting for the /area/
- should be used if you don't care if it spawns on the station or not,
or if you need to specifically teleport to a z-level
- not very expensive performance wise
### get_safe_random_station_turf()
- gets a random safe turf that will always be a station area, ignoring
z-level.
- should be used if you NEED the turf to be on a station's area
- slightly more expensive performance wise than get_safe_turf, but still
very cheap
Some code was using get_safe_turf() when it should've been using
get_safe_random_station_turf(), and some code that should be using
get_safe_turf() were incorrectly using the zlevels arg instead of zlevel
arg (Yes, there is a difference), or didn't include it at all.
All the changes were made to my best judgement. If you're curious about
a change, please ask and I will explain why I did it.
## Changelog

fix: Tweaks some instances of get_safe_turf so things like the nuclear
disk doesn't accidentally teleport to the Icebox Syndicate Base

## 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
free ™️ optimization because it was an in-world loop

## 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

## About The Pull Request
- Afterattack is a very simple proc now: All it does is this, and all
it's used for is for having a convenient place to put effects an item
does after a successful attack (IE, the attack was not blocked)
- An overwhelming majority of afterattack implementations have been
moved to `interact_with_atom` or the new `ranged_interact_with_atom`
I have manually tested many of the refactored procs but there was 200+
so it's kinda hard
## Why It's Good For The Game
Afterattack is one of the worst parts of the attack chain, as it
simultaneously serves as a way of doing random interactions NOT AT ALL
related to attacks (despite the name) while ALSO serving as the defacto
way to do a ranged interaction with an item
This means careless coders (most of them) may throw stuff in afterattack
without realizing how wide reaching it is, which causes bugs. By making
two well defined, separate procs for handing adjacent vs ranged
interactions, it becomes WAY WAY WAY more easy to develop for.
If you want to do something when you click on something else and you're
adjacent, use `interact_with_atom`
If you want to do something when you click on something else and you're
not adjacent, use 'ranged_interact_with_atom`
This does result in some instances of boilerplate as shown here:
But I think it's acceptable, feel free to oppose if you don't I'm sure
we can think of another solution
~~Additionally it makes it easier to implement swing combat. That's a
bonus I guess~~
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Over 200 item interactions have been refactored to use a
newer, easier-to-use system. Report any oddities with using items on
other objects you may see (such as surgery, reagent containers like cups
and spray bottles, or construction devices), especially using something
at range (such as guns or chisels)
refactor: Item-On-Modsuit interactions have changed slightly. While on
combat mode, you will attempt to "use" the item on the suit instead of
inserting it into the suit's storage. This means being on combat mode
while the suit's panel is open will block you from inserting items
entirely via click (but other methods such as hotkey, clicking on the
storage boxes, and mousedrop will still work).
refactor: The detective's scanner will now be inserted into storage
items if clicked normally, and will scan the storage item if on combat
mode
/🆑
## 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

## About The Pull Request
adds this map to the map rotation
bottom level (24.5.2024)
upper level (24.5.2024)
## general map details and department stuff
- the station is more focused on the bottom level, so falling in doesnt
roundremove you
- this is an asteroid station, so assistants can larp as dorfs and mine
towards the sweet loot
- there is plenty multiz usage
- service is the center of the station
**Service** - Is the center of the station. Arrivals docks directly in
the middle of the station next to Upper Service, so bar might get more
traffic. Not much different than normal Service, but janitors closet is
also present here, he sleeps on the floor. We do not talk about the
janitor. Above Bar is Library and Hydroponics with an overlook to look
at bar. The Theater has a big curtain and a podium directly in the bar.
29.3.2024
**Civilian** - Also in the center of the station, next to bar. There
isnt much to talk about dorms, its pretty normal.
**Cargo** - Absence of chutes that go to departments, reminder that mail
sorting is a thing. Cargo bay is a big open area with a boutique/shop
facing primary hall that starts closed, and Cargo has its own crate
elevator. Theres upper Cargo where mining, bitrunning and a secure
warehouse is located (There may be a murder scene). The quartermasters
office spans two z-levels and is relatively compact. Not much else
different from regular cargo. ~~Oh also the QM starts with an empty
PML-9 and a mostly functional rocket~~
29.3.2024
**Medical** - Large centralized medbay, also two z-levels. There is a
public waiting room with triage and a reception. There is also an inner
elevator for the crippled. There are two medbay-access patient rooms
that are unrestricted from the inside, and two operating rooms. Medbay

**Command** - AI Sat transit tube access is here. HoP has an open stall
facing primary hall, ~~and maybe a piano trapdoor~~ pretty classic
bridge, Captain does not get his own office but gets a really
comfortable quarters with his own emergency mass ejection for abandoning
ship. The council meeting room is present above bridge, with ERT Ferry
dock docking inside adjacent to the council room.
**Security** - Mostly bottom z level security. Very compact brig cells,
and a meeting room that everyone that is related to security may spawn
in if youre lucky. Warden has a weapon handout point facing the inner
security hall and the equipment room. Reeducation chamber has a shocked
grille treadmill. HoS and Warden Room and armory are on the upper
z-level, and warden has a VERY good overlook over permabrig. Armory is
seperated into nonlethal to mostly nonlethal and lethal.

**Science** - Also pretty centralized, breakroom with a smoking corner,
two z levels and a big overlook. RD office overlooks toxins and bomb
site. Genetics and RD Office is on the upper floor, with a science
exclusive monkey exhibit. Xenobio is thick due to proximity to bomb

**AI Sat** - Okay at this point assume any department is multiz. The
antechamber is an elevator and the turrets are on said elevator. The
elevator may be sent to the top level by engineers, where the AI core
is. Telecomms is on the bottom level, and AI core is above it. Contains
a borg entertainment room, and also the upload. The elevator being
raised is necessary to properly enter AI Room.
**Engineering** - Contains a less stale but still average and less than
optimal SM setup. Prone to catastrophic disaster. The SM Room is two
levels and very open, and CE has a trapdoor directly into the shard.
Turbine is above atmospherics, so is the crystallizer. The HFR and main
atmos and distribution room are on the bottom level. Piped by **Kendra
Hunter**. Contains a built in electrolyzer corner so atmos mains stop

## About The Pull Request
Ok so like, beam rifles send out tracer rounds right
We send out tracer rounds once every few seconds and if the mob or mouse
moves.
The problem is those tracer rounds are hitscan, and hitscan projectiles
don't like, wait to move.
So if I just drag my mouse a bunch I'm causin a bunch of hitscan
attempts.
This might be ok, but what happens if I do it in space (the place with
100s of turfs empty of things to hit).
Anyway let's do some tick checking in hitscan's while loop so it can't
eat seconds of cpu time uncontested

## About The Pull Request
In my effort to make the /icons/ folder cleaner and more intuitive
instead of having to rely on recalling names of stuff and looking them
up in code to find them for poor sods such as myself, plus in spurt of
complusion to organize stuff, here goes. I've tracked all changes in
commit descriptions. A lot still to be done, but I know these waves go
over dozens of files making things slow, so went lighter on it.
Destroyed useless impostor files taking up space and cleaned a stray
pixel on my way.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cleaner /icons/ file means saner spriters, less time spent. Stray pixels
and impostor files (ones which are copies of actually used ones
elsewhere) are not good.

## About The Pull Request
Replaces the Ansem, SC/FISHER, and suppressor in the Sam Fisher gimmick
bundle with the Ansem/SC, a variant of the Ansem that:
- has an integral suppressor (read: acts like it's always suppressed,
because it is)
- an underbarrel light disruptor (functionally identical to the
SC/FISHER, fired with RMB)
(note: firing the disruptor in combat mode causes the main gun to fire
as if it were being fired akimbo. which it shouldn't, but I'm not sure
how to make it not do that)
- is longer, visually, but not storage-wise, and also visibly has an
underbarrel light disruptor
Also added code support for integrally suppressed ballistic guns (with
no separate suppressor overlay), handled by the can_unsuppress variable.
Also fixes the SC/FISHER disrupting APCs for ten times longer than they
probably should have been disrupted.
## Why It's Good For The Game
In regards to the Ansem, SC/FISHER, suppressor:
The Sam Fisher gimmick bundle having the Ansem and SC/FISHER as separate
items always kinda bugged me, since it seemed too clunky for a
sneaky-beaky operator-type to have to juggle two guns (one which you had
to bump to normal-size, leaving it unable to fit in the belt) to break
lights and then shoot dudes in the back of the head. So now it's one
gun, like the M-90gl and its grenade launcher. I think the bundle's rare
enough that it's fine to give them this much.
In regards to the APC thing:
Shooting an APC with a gimmick gun and leaving it unpowered for two
minutes seemed unintentional.
In regards to the code support for integrally suppressed guns:
Maybe someone else will want to put in another integrally suppressed
gun? It was relevant for this use-case.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: The Ansem, suppressor, and SC/FISHER included in the Fisher gimmick
bundle now come together as one whole gun, the Ansem/SC. It's integrally
suppressed, and fires the disruptor on right-click.
fix: The SC/FISHER disrupts APCs for an appropriate amount of time, not
ten times the intended disruption length.

## About The Pull Request
Gives a 10% chance for the handguns in the armoury to be rigged. The
makarov and desert eagle will have a clown pin, ultra clown pin or the
explosive ultra clown pin when rigged, randomly and uniformly weighted.
The pins can not be removed, even the normal ones, so there is only one
way to find out. The Unica 6 will be reversed, shooting you instead when
rigged.
## Why It's Good For The Game
People are too trustworthy of the gear they use in the contraband
locker. By giving them a chance to be rigged and backfire on them,
people will treat these guns like contraband and not toys. If someone
was treating them like a toy, they could receive a nice introduction of
the syndicate.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a new staff for the wizard that shoots shrink rays. Also a
corresponding wand that comes with the wand belt. Shrinking is a
mechanic already implemented by abductors, but it's not often used
because it doesn't fit their kit super well. That's a huge shame because
shrinking stuff/people is really funny. And you know where funny stuff
fits well? The wizard kit.

## About The Pull Request
Updates pipeguns with a brand new set of sprites. Also comes with pipe
pistols; plinkier versions of the pipegun.
Alters pipeguns away from utilizing shotgun/rifle ammunition towards a
bespoke junk round ammo. These shells are crafted similarly to current
improvised shells. This also removes improvised shells as a shotgun ammo
type. (these new shells aren't shotgun shells to begin with, they're
more like rifle bullets)
Crafting junk rounds produces an entirely unknown projectile in the
shell. You won't know what you get until you fire the gun. Almost in
every instance, however, the shot is beneficial towards killing things.
And they all do about the same amount of damage, so there is hopefully
never a round you didn't want to fire in the gun. Fighting someone with
a pipegun is usually predictable for what amount of damage it will do,
but any additional effects it might have is going to be an unknown
factor. They also brutalize borgs, which is a quality that improvised
shells had previously.
Pipeguns operate as they did before, and do roughly 40 damage per shot
with the majority of their ammo types (less than what they do currently
with .310). They only have one shell in the gun at a time, so every time
they're fired, they must be reloaded.
Pipe pistols do roughly 15 damage per shot, but hold more ammo than the
bigger pipegun. However, they're more likely to veer off-course.
There are regal versions of each of these weapons, and each are more
potent respective of their general rarity. Having one is going to be a
lot more noteworthy.
### Minor changes
Some more clothing items can carry pipeguns in their suit storage.
The icemoon hermit spawns with a heroic laser musket rather than a regal
pipegun (partially because it is too difficult for the hermit to get
more ammo for their gun, and also because the regal pipegun is a more
powerful weapon than previously)
## Why It's Good For The Game
It has been a few years since I added the pipegun, and time was never
particularly kind to it. There are alternative weapons now with
interesting mechanics of their own. The ammunition it used has changed
considerably. And it simply didn't ever feel like a 'junk gun' in a way
that was fun. The original mechanics added to give it that feeling were
just not fun to experience and were removed. So the pipegun has been
left as 'a shitty version of X'. Even the regal pipegun was, at the end
of the day, a shittier version of either a shotgun or cargo rifle.
It didn't feel right not having some kind of unique quality to using
these weapons that help them express themselves as unpredictable trash
weapons built inside of maintenance. But I expressly didn't want to make
it 'unpredictable' in a way that felt unfair on the person getting shot
either. So just giving it more damage was right out. As a compromise, I
reduced the overall lethality of the weapons while introducing a gimmick
that will appeal to those wanting to play out the role of a homeless
lunatic with a shitty homemade gun stalking maintenance. A 'chaos gun'
so to speak. Maybe that will appeal to people.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Reworks pipeguns to use an unpredictable 'junk round'. You
won't know what you're shooting until you fire it.
add: Introduces a pistol version of the pipegun; the pipe pistol. It is
inaccurate and does significantly less damage, but more portable and has
more ammunition in the gun.
image: Updates the visuals of the pipeguns.
balance: Also improves the Regal varieties of these weapons. By a lot.
balance: More articles of clothing can be used to carry pipeguns in suit
storage.
balance: The Icemoon Hermit comes with a Heroic Laser Musket instead of
a Regal Pipegun.
remove: Improvised shells (the shotgun shell) has been replaced with
improvised junk shells (which don't work with shotguns but do work with
pipeguns).

## About The Pull Request
As it stands, after the rebar crossbow fires, it must be used inhand
twice, once to loosen the bowstring, and a second time with a do_after
to pull it back. Not only does this make no sense as the bowstring is
what launches the projectile, but I actually had no idea it was even
happening, until I got it pointed out on discord.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The main reason is that the crossbow shooting a rod without moving the
bowstring just looks weird, but also given the first inhand use doesn't
have a delay, it also doesn't really serve any purpose.

## Why It's Good For The Game
You should not be able to modify this revolver while it is loaded
whatsoever. I don't know when exactly this broke, but time has clearly
not been kind to the feature.
I think it was actually impossible to reach the self explosion on
modifying the gun? The return I added probably prevented it outright. I
guess that was broken the entire time. Honestly, I feel like that's
going to be a maintainability issue to keep it working, so maybe we just
do away with what we never had.
Maybe it was for the very, very unlikely possibility that you could
theoretically load in a bullet DURING the do_after? I think I was just
sleep deprived. Like right now.

## 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 makes 2 changes, one to the crusher and one to the PKA
Crushers: Their projectile no longer overrides eachother, so a mob can
have the blue bubble from several crushers. Triggering it will only
trigger the one that you own, so each player has to go hit the mob to
strike.
PKA: Fixed the minebot passthrough upgrade, and also adds a human
passthrough upgrade. They are incompatible with eachother, so you choose
between solo+minebot or coop, which is a compromise I thought as a
better alternative to taking mod space (the minebot passthrough
currently takes none). This upgrade is available solely at the mining
vendor, for 750 points.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The new mining has been great, and one thing I love is that it
encourages more coop play. Excavating boulders with other miners is much
more engaging and has good teamwork in it, and also is a good way to
encourage miners to stick together more and even fight megafauna in
pairs.
This hopes to make that easier to do, because currently having anyone
with a crusher is sort of a detriment to the whole team. Either the PKA
dude will accidentally shoot the crusher user while they're going in for
a melee kill, or 2 crusher users will be constantly erasing the mark of
the other. This will hopefully make that aspect better, and make mining
with friends a little better.
## Changelog

balance: Crusher marks no longer overwrite eachother, fauna can have one
from each crusher.
balance: Ash drake's crusher trophy no longer affects people the same
faction as you (like hiero trophy), so you won't friendly fire people

without having to worry about friendly fire with this, for 750 mining
points at your mining vendor.

And by crank, I mean you SPIN THE GUN. In order to spin guns, you need a
holster. So, without a holster, you can't utilize this mechanic of the
pistols.
(Also they're more accurate while dual-wielded hoo haa)
Thermal pistol crates are now slightly more expensive, at 2000 credits.
(is this even a balancing point now that we have stocks?)
## Why It's Good For The Game
People really liked what was going on in this [PR with the gun flipping
resulting in a
reload](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/76076). However, it
was...maybe a little too strong.
As a more middle ground approach, the gun crank component was a
particularly helpful addition to the game that allows for things
like...slow bullet-by-bullet reloading of even energy weapons.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Thermal pistols can now be 'cranked' to recharge shots. You
must have a holster equipped in order to utilize this feature. Also,
they have a tighter dual-wield cone.
balance: Thermal pistol crates are now 2000 credits, up from 1400
credits.

## 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
The bulldog shotgun, available to ops, now has a burst fire of 2 rounds.
This means it launches a fairly rapid volley of bullets per click.
Currently, the lone operative spawns with a single bulldog shotgun.
Instead of just the shotgun, the operative now comes with some spare
magazines for their gun.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The bulldog still seems to be really unpopular, and still feels like it
isn't quite doing as much as other options for operatives. Even for the
cheap price, it just doesn't pull its weight. It lacks staying power or
range to face several opponents at once. You can certainly buy ammo to
make it better at engaging at range, but this sometimes begs the
question as to why you bothered with the bulldog over something else.
It is primarily only really good at killing one person at a time in
close quarters, but the person you would be using that power against is
usually a more armored opponent like the Captain or Head of Security.
Lots of other nuclear operative weapons simply do that much better than
the bulldog.
If the bulldog is meant to be mulching single targets one at a time, it
should absolutely be doing that reliably. Because people really like
shotguns. So why not unload two buckshot straight into someone's cranium
with a single pull of the trigger for a nice crunchy splat.
Lone operative got themselves a bulldog, but were cheated out of the
free ammo they would have received if they had simply bought the bulldog
from their uplink. Lone ops are not nearly as scary as an actual
midround nuclear assault, primarily because their objective doesn't come
with the benefit of an infiltrator or a bomb to deliver. They're a
punishment mechanic, technically. But even as a punishment, they don't
really do a terribly good job at punishing. Since the bulldog is focused
on putting down the captain as fast as possible, then it stands to
reason that the lone operative gets as much help accomplishing that as
necessary.

## About The Pull Request
[Design Document (Read this for more
information)](https://hackmd.io/@L9JPMsZhRO2wI25rNI6GYg/rkYKM9Yc6)
This PR adds Spies as a new roundstart antagonist type, inspired by
Spy-Thiefs from Goonstation.
Spies are tasked with stealing various objects around the station, from
insulated gloves to the black box, from the clown's left leg to the
bridge's communications console.
For every item stolen, the Spy is rewarded with a random item from the
Syndicate Uplink, plus some items uniquely available to the Spy. Stolen
items are then shipped off and sold on the Black Market Uplink, allowing
the crew - or maybe some other evil-doers - to get their hands on them.
More ideas for theft items and bounties are welcome.
## Why It's Good For The Game
See the design document for more information.
In short: Adds a solo antagonist which has less impact than your
Traitors and Heretics, but more impact than Paradox Clones and Thieves.
In other words: On the same tier as old traitors.
Seeks to embrace the sandbox aspect of antagonists more by having no
precise greentext objective, and instead some suggestions for chaos you
can embark in. Have fun with it!
