## About The Pull Request
penguins are now able to fish! they will drill water holes in ice using
their beaks and catch fish from there. also expands the fishing ai a bit
to make it a bit more customizable. animals will now fish only when
they're hungry, otherwise there will be a cooldown between every fishing
attempt, defaulted to 45 seconds but can be edited depending on the mob.
## Why It's Good For The Game
makes the fishing behavior alot more generic, before it was only
compatible with lobstrosities but this makes it so it can be applied to
any mob. also reduces lobstrosity fishing frequency by a tad bit as they
were too spammy before.

## About The Pull Request
every process cycle we were checking the state of our movement targets.
when i benchmarked this it was taking up 7% of the entire process cost.
now instead, we check it only when the target or the pawn moves. after
like 25 minutes of profiling, this costs almost nothing because the
amount of calls has been cut significantly. also movement targets werent
properly being cleaned up on delete, causing some hard delete issues
## Why It's Good For The Game
fixes harddel issues and some more performance boost with how
controllers set up movement targets
## About The Pull Request
ai controllers that have exhausted all their current behaviors now stop
processing until the next cycle, so we no longer need to do these checks
on every process fire. idle behaviors are now instead handled by a new
low priority subsystem. these are the costs before/after roughly 25

less AI competing against one another for cpu. also converts idle

## About The Pull Request
reduces the cost of the planning subsystem. instead of calculating

## About The Pull Request
Being sacrificed by a Heretic no longer applies an incurable brain
trauma that gives you a phobia of Heretic-associated items.
Instead it does the following things:
- Removes 2-4 of your organs and leaves them behind on the sacrificial
circle, replacing them with "corrupt" organs with negative effects.
- Gives you an unremovable "curse" debuff which will cause you to
immediately cough a random organ out of your chest if you attack or are
attack by the person who sacrificed you, **if they are wearing a Focus
at the time.**
Corrupt Organs can be removed via surgery, although doing so is
dangerous.
A removed corrupt organ will often either immediately explode for a
small (but not insignificant) amount of burn damage to everyone nearby,
or it will animate itself as a haunted object and be a general nuisance
until subdued.
A patient dosed with Holy Water can always have their organs removed
without consequence.
Chugging Holy Water will also suppress most of the negative effects of
your corrupt organs.
The effects of Corrupt Organs are as follows:
- **Eyes:** All Heretics **and also a selection of additional random
people** are completely invisible to you. You can still see their
runtext (or "hear") them, but they otherwise cannot be seen. And as you
can't see them you also cannot click on them.
- **Tongue:** When you speak, your language will sometimes be replaced
by "Shadowspeak", understood only by Curators and Nightmares. This is
less of an impediment during Halloween because of the friendly
Shadowpeople.
- **Liver:** When you drink something, it will add extra reagents to
your sip from a pool largely composed of alcohol and hallucinogens.
- **Stomach:** Your hunger will deplete significantly faster if you do
not regularly ingest blood. (Fun fact: Did you know that a drinking
glass full of blood automatically relabels itself "tomato juice"?)
- **Heart:** You will continue to be intermittently tormented by
frightening hands.
- **Lungs:** You will intermittently cough out dangerous or unpleasant
gases.
- **Appendix:** Very infrequently you will vomit out several hostile
worms.
Most of these effects aren't present while you're dodging the spooky
hands in the Mansus realm.
Plasmamen never have their lungs replaced because they'd immediately
start choking on their internals and that is annoying. Ethereals _do_
have their hearts replaced so may be surprised to find that they don't
respawn when killed if they don't get a new one.
I would haved called them Cursed Organs but the Cursed Heart already
exists.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Nobody enjoys the Heretic phobia from any angle.
Phobias suck to deal with in general. and while being scared of all
Heretic stuff from that point on is mildly flavourful it's not very
interesting.
This alternative hopefully provides a more interesting answer (which
should provide more storytelling and interaction with other people) to
the problems that the original change intended to address:
Making sure that nonlethal sacrifices still feel significantly bad
enough that you're not going to volunteer, and as an extra layer of
protection to ensure that someone you sacrificed functionally ceases to
be a threat to you.
## Changelog
🆑
del: Being sacrified by a Heretic no longer gives you an incurable
phobia.
add: Being sacrificed by a Heretic will drop 2-4 of your organs on the
ground and replace them with "corrupt organs" with negative effects
which can be suppressed with Holy Water.
add: Players who have been sacrificed by Heretics will experience
additional and rapidly lethal consequences for attempting to fight
someone who previously sacrificed them, as long as that person is
wearing a focus.

## About The Pull Request
Nother bit ripped out of #79498
[Implements a get_cooldown() proc to get around dumb manual overrides
and empower me to optimize the findtarget
logic](7047d294dd)
[Adds modify_cooldown, uses it to optimize find_potential_targets
further](4ebc8cedce)
No sense running the behavior if we're just waiting on its output, so
let's run it once a minute just in case, then push an update instantly
if we find something
[Optimizes connect_range and
promxity_monitors](bcf7d7c5b3)
We know what turfs exist before and after a move
We can use this information to prevent trying to update turfs we don't
care about.
This is important because post these changes mobs with fields will be
moving a lot more, so it's gotta be cheap
[Implements a special kind of field to handle ai
targeting](80b63b3445)
If we run targeting and don't like, find anything, we should setup a
field that listens for things coming near us and then handle those
things as we find them.
This incurs a slight startup cost but saves so much time on the churn of
constant costs
Note:
We should also work to figure out a way to avoid waking ais if none is
near them/they aren't doing anything interesting
We don't need to do that immediately this acts as somewhat of a stopgap
(and would be good regardless) but it is worth keeping in mind)
## IMPORTANT
I am unsure whether this is worth it anymore since #82539 was merged. As
I say it was done as a stopgap because ais didn't know how to idle.
If not I'll rip er out and we'll keep the other
refactoring/optimizations.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cleaner basic ai code, maybe? faster basic ai code, for sure faster
proximity monitors (significantly)
## About The Pull Request
On one compile of MetaStation, I saw that there's 45 basic mobs on the
station, 256 on lavaland (the number growing from tendrils), and 59 in
all other z levels combined.
While we do expect Lavaland to be visited every round, at least it won't
be running during the times when no one is there, but even more
importantly, space exploration is something not done every round, so we
don't have any reason to waste our resources on AIs that will never be
interacted with.
Simple animals had an easy solution to this:
If no one is on the Z level, their AI turns off
If someone is on the Z level, they are idle unless needed.
The last simple animals that exists right now are bots, megafauna,
geese, gondolas, and some minor ones like mimic, zombie, dark wizard,
soulscythe, etc.
Point is, we're very much nearly done going through all simple animals,
so this code is being wasted just to ensure things like cleanbots won't
work if no one is on the z level, something I doubt happens often, so I
took their code and made it work for basic mobs instead. I could've done
both but I thought it would look very bad, and maybe this is a good
incentivize to get more basic mob conversions.
There's one major change here and it's that we're missing the "Idle"
mode, some basic mobs like the Lavaland village seems to be made with
intent that they'll be running even if players aren't around, so this
sets up a future PR that makes idle AI easier to add, and I want to make
sure those cases are taken into account.
## Why It's Good For The Game
We don't need to always be processing these basic mobs, and sets us in
the future to hopefully also implement idle AIs.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Basic mob AIs with no mobs on the Z level now stop.

## About The Pull Request
The Pathfinder module sucks cock because it doesn't work. And the
reasons it doesn't work are as follows:
1. It uses the default JPS pathfinding datum, which has a hard distance
limit of 30, instead of the intended 200.
2. JPS pathfinding as a whole will fail if you encounter more than 3
doors. This is because every door wastes about 5 movement opportunities,
and the default pathfinder only has a limit of 20 before it considers
the entire pathfinding attempt moot and bails out.
Here's how I fixed it:
1. Created a new jps child that has a range of MOD_AI_RANGE
2. Instead of counting all failures during the entire pathfinding
attempt, it will only consider consecutive failures. Every successful
move will reset the pathfinding failure count. This should make JPS
pathfinding more reliable overall?

## About The Pull Request
This PR converts the two trader mobs into basic mobs, these being the
basic debug trader that buys ectoplasm and sells ghost burgers, and Mr
Bones, who buys empty milk cartons and bones, and sells bone relate
paraphernalia.
Traders now use dynamic appearance generation. The old sprites still
exist as hallucinations, and as shop signs.
Trader UI is now summoned via `COMSIG_ATOM_ATTACK_HAND`, which properly
cancels the attack chain, so there is no longer need to put it on
Interact.
I kept most of the original behaviour, but moved them off into a
component. I have also cached all the images generated for the radials,
I hope I have not overengineered it. I have also created a new datum,
which stores the trader's wares, needs, and speech patterns.
Admins can put the component along with the trader data on any living
mobs with an AI controller, turning them into traders. Keep in mind that
most AI has random idle movement, meaning they have a chance to walk
off, closing your trader radial.
The trader AI consists of the following, first, when a trader sees
someone, they will deploy their shop, if one does not already exists.
The shop consists of a chair, and a holographic sign. If you attack
them, they will chase you with their weapons, and then return to their
chair when victorious. If the chair is somehow destroyed, they will
create a new shop when they see a new potential customer.
Mr Bones uses a variant of the AI, where they will run at you, and
deploy their shop when they reach you. I call this the jumpscare
variant. Below you can see me getting actually jumpscared because Mr
Bones has stepped on a yelling frog when I opened the maintenance door.
I have also made an element that toggles an ai controlled combat mode
when it gains a target, and when it loses it. I am using it to make
Traders unable to trade while they are trying to kill a robber. To aid
this, I a have made
`/datum/ai_controller/proc/sig_remove_from_blackboard` send the
`COMSIG_AI_BLACKBOARD_KEY_CLEARED` signal, in case the trader kills a
mob that deletes itself on death. This means I could remove a signup
`/datum/component/appearance_on_aggro` was doing towards Qdeleting.
Below you can see Mr Bones shooting me with candy corn.
Traders actually only shoot you until you are conscious, so I survived
here in crit. Most mobs don't have crit state, so they just die, so I am
sticking by this voice line.
Thank you @CoiledLamb for help with the sale sign!

## About The Pull Request
Implements /datum/pathfind/sssp, which generates /datum/path_map
/datum/path_maps allow us to very efficently generate paths to any turf
they contain from their central point.
We're effectively running the single source shortest paths algorithm.
We expand from the center turf, adding turfs as they're found, and then
processing them in order of addition.
As we go, we remember what turf "found" us first. Reversing this chain
gives us the shortest possible path from the center turf to any turf in
its range (or the inverse).
This isn't all that useful on its own, outside of a few niche cases
(Like if we wanted to get the farthest reachable turf from the center)
but if we could reuse the map more then once, we'd be able to swarm
to/from a point very easily.
Reuse is a bit troublesome, reqiures a timeout system and a way to
compare different movables trying to get paths.
I've implemented it tho. I've refactored CanAStarPass to take a datum,
/datum/can_pass_info. This is built from a movable and a list of access,
and copies all the properties that would impact pathfinding over onto
itself.
There is one case where we don't do this, pathing over openspace
requires checking if we'd fall through the openspace, and the proc for
that takes an atom.
So instead we use the weakref to the owner that we hold onto, and hold
copies of all the values that would impact the check on the datum.
When someone requests a swarmed path their pass info is compared with
the pass info of all other path_maps centered on their target turf. If
it matches and their requested timeout isn't too short, we just reuse
the map.
Timeout is a tricky thing because the longer a map exists the more out
of date it gets.
I've added a few age defines that let you modulate your level of risk
here. We default to only allowing maps that are currently
being generated, or finished generating in our tick.
Hopefully this prevents falling into trouble, but consumers will need to
allow "failed" movements.
As a part of this datumized pass info, I've refactored pathfinding to
use access lists, rather then id cards directly. This also avoids some
dumbass harddel oppertunities, and prevents an idcard from changing mid
path.
Did a few things to the zPass procs, they took args that they did NOT
need, and I thought it'd be better to yeet em.
If you'd all like I could undo the caching/can_pass_info stuff if you'd
all like. I think it's useful generally because it avoids stuff changing
mid pathfind attempt, but if it's too clunky I could nuke it.
Oh also I added optional args to jps that constricts how it handles
diagonals. I've used this to fix bot paths.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Much of this is redundant currently. I'm adding it because it could have
saved hugglebippers, and because I get the feeling it'll be useful for
"grouping" mobs like bees and such.
We're doing more basic mob work currently and I want to provide extra
tools for that work.

The brimdemon was basically already perfect (well, it has a novel means

lining up with people in order to blast them. Additionally, its beam is

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

## About The Pull Request
Converts Goliaths to the basic mob framework and gives them some new
moves because I can't leave things well enough alone.
I am planning on touching all the lavaland fauna and then maybe even the
icebox ones if I haven't got bored. The Golaith is the first because it
is iconic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNcKvMwT4-Q
Here's me getting killed by one as a demonstration. Despite my poor
performance I would contend that they aren't a _lot_ more dangerous, but
they are a little more dangerous.
The chief difference here is that they have two new attacks which they
will only use in response to being attacked.
If fired at from range, they will target the attacker with a line of
tentacles (it doesn't track you, so is easily sidestepped).
If attacked in melee, they will surround _themselves_ with tentacles, on
a longer cooldown.
Something else you may notice in this video: I discovered that basic
mobs are actually _too smart_ to be Lavaland fauna.
Typically (unlike their old form) a mob on our new AI system is smart
enough to attack someone _the moment they come into range_ rather than
only checking on predictable ticks, which would make using the Crusher
an essentially unviable prospect.
To counteract this, Goliaths now have a delayed attack component which
gives you a visual warning and short duration to get out of range before
they swing at you. I will probably put this on all mining fauna that get
reworked, it wouldn't be a terrible thing to put on other mobs to be
honest.
Other changes: The goliath stun is now a status effect with _buckles_
you to the tentacle as if grabbed, as well as its previous effects.
While this seems purely worse, any nearby helpers can now help-click on
you to instantly remove the debuff.
Experiencing the effect of a Lobstrosity Rush Gland makes you immune to
being grabbed by tentacles and an implanted one will automatically
trigger and free you if you are hit, and the explosive effect of
Brimdust also causes the tentacle to retract (although you'd need to
take damage for this to happen). Using the tools of the land, you can
make these creatures less threatening.
The ability for a Goliath to chain-apply the ability has now also been
reduced, it won't refresh its duration if you are hit when already
buckled.
When not occupied hounding miners, Goliaths will intermittently dig up
the asteroid sand and eat any worms that this produces.
I also made some new sprites for riding a Goliath because they've been
broken since the Lavaland mob update and also kind of were ugly before
then anyway:
Other code changes:
- I made an element which only lets an attached object move every x
seconds. This is because Goliaths are far too slow to use the speed
system (the glide just looks bugged as hell) but one thing I am invested
in when converting these is to make sure that they share the same
behaviour when player or AI controlled. This is disabled while you're
riding them because it was interminably slow.
- The Goliath tentacle trail uses a supertype object now shared with the
Meteor Heart which did something kind of similar.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It begins the process of moving one of our larger subsets of NPCs onto
the newer framework for NPC behaviour.
It adds a little bit more life to an iconic but slightly uninteresting
foe which mostly just walked at you slowly.
This PR contains a few components I expect to apply more widely to other
mobs in the future.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Goliaths now use the Basic Mob framework, please report any
unusual behaviour.
add: Goliaths learned a couple of new attacks which they will use in
self-defence.
balance: Help-clicking a miner grabbed by Goliath tentacles will
immediately free them, as will the effect of several items you can
scavenge from around Lavaland.
image: New sprites for the Goliath saddle.

## About The Pull Request
Signals were initially only usable with component listeners, which while
no longer the case has lead to outdated documentation, names, and a
similar location in code.
This pr pulls the two apart. Partially because mso thinks we should, but
also because they really aren't directly linked anymore, and having them
in this midstate just confuses people.

## About The Pull Request
Currently, we don't have any such thing as a general ai_behavior flag
for behaviors that need a check for if the current_movement_target is
within reach or not. We could fix it case by case by slapping a
`CanReach()` check in the `performBehavior()` definition of every
`ai_behavior` datum that warrants it, the general issue will keep
resurfacing as long as new behaviors are added to the game anyhow, while
there's a lot less copypasta involved easier to apply solution to
current and future instances of such issue.
Worth mentioning not all ai_behaviors with required_range of 1 have this
flag. Some are fairly innocuous, such as the follow command, some others
kind of handle it already in a more peculiar or complex way, which is
also an argument against making it a hardcoded heck for when the
required_range is 1 or 0.
This has been tested, though there are some rough edges and oddities
also unrelated to his PR that might have evaded scrutiny.

Replaces weakref usage in AI blackboards with deleting signals
All blackboard var setting must go through setters rather than directly
## Why It's Good For The Game
This both makes it a ton easier to develop AI for, and also makes it
harder for hard deletes to sneak in, as has been seen with recent 515
prs showing hard deletes in AI blackboards
(To quantify "making it easier to develop AI", I found multiple bugs in
existing AI code due to the usage of weakrefs.)

## About The Pull Request
There's a couple of open issues which fix places where only simple
animals were considered, but they are doing it piecemeal.
I decided to just go through every instance of `isanimal` or
`subtypesof(mob/living/simple_animal)` I could find, identify which
should also affect basic mobs, and fix them.
I left out the two others which are already in PR, I'm not stealing your
GBP.
Fixes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/68881
## Why It's Good For The Game
Consistency, mostly.
As far as I can tell all of these things _should_ have effected basic
mobs, but didn't.
This fixes a fair number of bugs but also they're bugs that nobody
noticed or reported.
There are a couple of places I did not update which will need updating
in future. These are:
- Dextrousness checks, because basic mobs don't have that yet.
- The Charge cooldown action, because frankly I couldn't tell what it
was trying to do.
alright here goes

## About The Pull Request
In #72260 what was previously a var became a flag, which was a sensible
change, however this inverted the default behaviour.
In virtually all cases we want dead mobs to _stop_ being dense, this
added a requirement for the flag to be present for that to happen and
then didn't add the flag to any mobs.
Rather than add this to every mob I inverted the function of the flag.
My reasoning here is that _simple_ mobs seemingly never required this
behaviour, basic mobs are probably going to need it rarely if ever, and
including it in `basic_mob_flags` by default seems messy and easy to
leave off when setting other flags (plus #72524 implies to me we want to
avoid adding more default values).
Setting this manually on each mob seems kind of silly as a requirement
going forward and I can't think of a way we'd unit test for people
forgetting.
For the same reason I did the same thing with the
`STOP_ACTING_WHILE_DEAD` flag I added to the AI controller in a recent
PR, the flag should denote unusual behaviour not the default.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It looks really odd when you're constantly shuffling places with dead
mobs, they're not supposed to do that.
It's tedious to add `STOP_ACTING_WHILE_DEAD` to every AI controller when
that should be an obvious default assumption.
## Changelog

fix: Dead basic mobs are no longer "dense" objects and can be stepped
