## 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
## Changelog

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

## About The Pull Request
Cult pylons will now slowly close bleeding wounds.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Pylons were never updated alongside wounds, so it's an EXTREMELY common
sight to see people dead or dying next to pylons purely from blood loss.
Even havign 4 pylons near isn't enough to help you up - it doesn't oxy
heal, so if you're in crit, you're fucked.
The blood cult should be able to deal with blood loss.

## 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

Reworks sneezing. Instead of a range check that checks if you're facing
someone, it is now a skill check
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/7501474/c11ffa16-9bd2-4ed1-8022-2094360657bc
All sneezes shoot projectiles, but depends on the virus if they're
infectious. Using the sneeze emote is the only method that doesn't shoot
a sneeze
## Why It's Good For The Game
I think the invisible infection mechanics are unfun. A lot of station
dangers challenge your knowledge and mechanical skill, while viruses are
gotten by being around people in a roleplay game. You can get a round
seriously ruined if you walk past someone with a sneezing virus and
don't immediately rush spaceillin or chemistry, which I don't think is
mechanically interesting.
Now if you get infected, it's a skill issue. Get good and dodge the
sneeze
Note that this is just one method of infection. I didn't touch coughing
and airborne viruses, which do constant area checks and infect everyone
around. I plan to, but not now. I'll probably make coughing do a cone or
something, and ignore the airborne viruses since they can't be modified
and are generally less broken

## About The Pull Request
Currently, if you handcuff someone and they only have sign language
available to speak in (mute, no tongue, nearby people are deaf, you have
bronchitis(?)), they are rendered totally unable to communicate with
anything but emotes. This is stifling to trying to roleplay with nearby
people who want to keep you cuffed for whatever reason (security,
antagonists, weirdos who keep hugging you, etc).
So instead, I've made it so that if you use sign language while
handcuffed, you are still able to sign, but to a much more limited
degree (3 - 5 words per message).
If you're put in a straightjacket, you're still totally unable to use
sign language.
Additionally, I spruced up the messages that sign language uses to
signify tone (?, !) and added one for EXCLAIMED QUESTIONS?! I also made
the emotes work as emotes, rather than the small (easily missable)
messages in the chat box. These emotes will not fire if you sign with
tone while cuffed, to avoid you becoming a spam machine.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It lets cuffed sign language users communicate, which is usually a
pretty good thing when it comes to improving a scene for both them and
the people they're playing with.
It improves the descriptiveness of the inquisitive and exclamatory tone
messaging for sign language users, and also adds one for a combination
of the two tones.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: Sign language users can now sign in cuffs, but to a very limited
degree. They also have more descriptive emotes for questions,
exclamations, and a combination of the two.

## About The Pull Request
### Suit Storage
Makes the suit storage of the various suits consistent across one
another. Now, all the mining suits use a single list which is easier to
maintain.
**The affected suit list is as follows;**
Explorer Suits (and therefore Syndicate Explorer Suits), Goliath Cloaks,
Bone Armor, Drake Armor, Godslayer Armor, Berserker Armor, Mining
MODsuits, H.E.C.K. Suit.
**The list of holdable items is as follows;**
Flashlights, Proto-Kinetic Accelerators, Advanced Mining Scanners /
Mining Scanners, Pickaxes, Upgraded Resonators / Resonators, Ore Bags,
Air Tanks, Spears, special monster organs like Regenerative Cores,
Knives, Proto-Kinetic Crushers, Cleaving Saws (the one that Blood-Drunk
Miners drop), Grappling Guns and Climbing Hooks.
~~It probably doesn't matter too terribly much because you know only air
tanks are going in that slot 95% of the time~~
### Bone Armor and Goliath Cloaks
Bone armor and goliath cloaks both have the same armor values,
environmental protections and coverage as the explorer suit (bone armor
includes the feet due to the sprite physically covering the feet, which
is not a terribly significant balancing point but worth mentioning).
They use the armor plate component to improve the parts of bone armor.
However, they use bone talismans instead of goliath hide to be upgraded.
Goliath cloaks come fully upgraded. You'll see why in a second.
Their recipes are slightly different. Goliath cloaks take nine hides
(I'm so sorry this is for consistency I promise you can't use the
upgrade system with something that deletes its own armor values like
this) and three sinew. Bone armor takes three goliath hides and 6 bone.
### Berserker Armor
Berserker armor can now be improved to the same armor value as drake
armor by using a full suit on both the body and the helmet of the
berserker armor. (Each drake makes two suits, so you need to use up both
suits).
Instead of an armor boost, rage now halves incoming brute damage. Fuck
you, Bubblegum!
### Minor Mining MODsuit Tweak and other armor value changes
The base value for the armor is now 20, rather than 15, so that when it
reaches max ash accretion it has equivalent armor to a fully upgraded
explorer suit. This is only a value difference of 5, but it always
annoyed me seeing it.
All the above mentioned suits also now have a value of about 10 wound
armor. This is because miners do actually experience wounding on
lavaland. Some of the armors had this wound armor. Some didn't. Now they
all do. I don't believe this to have been a deliberate design choice,
but rather, an oversight. Iunno, someone who keeps track of this please
tell me otherwise.
Upgraded suits get a prefix to show they are upgraded. Now, never doubt
whether the miner you are fighting is in a baseline explorer suit or a
riot suit level improved explorer suit ever again!
### Berserker Armor actually covers up clothing/hair underneath properly
and other minor stuff
This is why I started this PR by the way. This one fix. I expand the
scope of my horizons so broadly when I really sit down and PR, don't I?
H.E.C.K. and Berserker helmets can be used for internals.
## Why It's Good For The Game
There is a great deal of inconsistency with regards to the various
lavaland armor you can find and use. Some armors were wildly inferior to
others and only really having value for aesthetic. Some just seemed to
have oversights that didn't seem quite right. And most importantly, the
actual storage list for mining suits in general were not only
inconsistent in of themselves, but were also not being updated as time
goes on.
Bringing them all into line allows for miners to have a bit of freedom
of choice when it comes to appearance, without it becoming a balancing
sticking point nor a detriment to their effectiveness. It is also much
easier to maintain one list than six or seven lists.
Assuming that the baseline of the explorer suit is a-okay for someone to
possess, goliath cloaks and bone armor should now feel more like
fashionable choices rather than, in some cases, being either a worse or
better choice to take (its bone armor, bone armor is the best of these,
its really good generalist armor). I don't care what effect it has on
the ashlander economy. Neither should you.
The minor tweaks and fixes are just stuff that annoyed me for autism
reasons or were oversights due to changes to the items in question or
the game around it. I doubt anyone but me cares very much about these
minor differences, but I like consistency.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: The various mining related suits now have consistent suit
storage. Try putting a knife into your explorer suit's suit storage
today!
balance: Bone armor work similarly to explorer suits, with similar armor
values and options to upgrade their parts. However, they use bone
talismans instead of goliath hides to upgrade. Magic? Just believing
really strongly that the drake is hitting you slightly less hard because
of the talismans? You be the judge.
balance: Goliath cloaks come fully upgraded. However...
balance: The recipes for bone armor and goliath cloaks are slightly
different. Particularly goliath cloaks, which need a lot more dead
goliaths to make. Sorry.
balance: Mining MODsuits achieve at maximum ash accretion the same
amount of melee armor as an upgraded explorer suit.
balance: These various suits also consistently have wound armor.
fix: Berserker armor properly hides underclothing and hair.
balance: Berserker armor pieces can absorb drake armor to gain their
enhanced protection. Become the warrior of Khorne you've always wanted
to be.
balance: Berserker rage now halves brute damage rather than just adding
Melee Armor to you and your squishy body.
qol: Berserker and H.E.C.K. helmets can be used for internals.

## About The Pull Request
This completely reworks how ghetto chem separator works & brings more
depth & immersion to it. To understand the new system let's compare it
with the current one
**Old System**
1. You insert a beaker containing the reagents you want to separate.
2. You use a lighter/whatever to light a flame, Flame has _magic &
unrealistic_ properties such as
- It will never heat the beaker above 100k
- It doesn't burn oxygen or use fuel source to sustain it
- Distillation rate is a constant 5u/s. It doesn't increase as the
solution boils hotter
3. The apparatus sorts the reagents alphabetically? & transfers the 1st
reagent from sorted list to the target beaker. It does not care if each
individual reagent has their boiling points & how to separate them based
on that etc. It's just bland overall
**New System**
1. You insert a beaker containing the reagents you want to separate,
just lke the old system
2. You use a lighter/whatever to light a flame just like the old system,
however flame behaves in a more realistic fashion as follows
- It will heat the beaker all the way to 1000k if you let it run long
enough
- It now burns oxygen & uses a fuel source(a secondary beaker which you
must insert containing flamable reagents like oil, welding fuel etc).
When oxygen is the fuel source no O2 gas is required
- Distillation rate starts at 2u/s & increases with rising temps
- Intensity of the flame depends on the quality of reagents used as
fuel, Oil has best flammable quality & will heat the beaker faster,
other reagents mixed in various proportions can produce better quality
flames which you can understand by examining the aparatus
- The flame intensity can be adjusted via the burner knob setting
3. Each reagent now has their _boiling computed_ computed from their
mass allowing for realistic interactions, like having to control the
temp's just right to separate your required reagent
4. Temps automatically cooldown and you can install a condenser to
Facilitate faster cooling
Here's the demo video explaining everything

## About The Pull Request
### New fish
#### anxious zipzap
An incredibly anxiety-ridden and electroreceptive fish. Worried about
the walls of its tank closing in constantly. Both literally and as a
general metaphorical unease about life's direction.
It produces electricity, and HATES being with any other fish. One other
zipzap is allowed at most.
#### monocloning jumpercable
A surprisingly useful if nasty looking creation from the syndicate fish
labs. Drop one in a tank, and watch it self-feed and multiply. Generates
more and more power as a growing swarm!
A far better option for power generation than the zipzap, but it's a
syndicate fish. Get an emag or get very lucky!
Working spacebase example
### Aquarium type
Bioelectricity Generator! It boosts the power of electroreceptive fish
to very dangerous levels! But, uh, you put a tesla coil, and voila! Free
power! ...Free power if you keep the fish fed! More fish, more power!
You can convert an aquarium into a bioelectricity generator by
researching the new node, "Marine Utility", from bio processing. Then
you build the biogen upgrade kit and apply it to an already existing
aquarium.
### Fish Traits
#### Electrogenesis
Trait turns the fish into a shock weapon while it's alive, and every
time it feeds, it releases a weak tesla bolt to anyone close to the
tank.
#### Anxiety
anxious fish die when any other fish are in the tank. Please keep them
alone :[
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fish are great, but fish don't have anything to give back to the
station, right? Well, there's some small stuff, but I wanted to add a
bit of functionality towards being able to benefit from having fish.
The anxiety trait with the zipzap gives spessmen a bit of a challenge.
You can settle for one fish generating power per tank and do a
multi-tank generation setup, or you can do some crossbreeding to make a
fish WITH electroreceptive but WITHOUT anxiety. Neat!

## About The Pull Request
this pr adds a new fish to lavaland and icebox, the lavaloop! i noticed
neither has any exclusive fish so im trying to add one of my own. u can
find this fish by using reinforced rods on lava or plasmarivers. this
fish is also lobstrosity's favorite delicacy as you will now often see
AI controlled lobstrosities fishing for it in lava and then eating it.
because of its body's curvature and razor sharp spikes, this fish can
also be used as a make-shift boomerang weapon against mining mobs,
although it comes with some new mechanics. u can increase the damage it
does to mobs by winding up ur throw. when the bar reaches purple, this
indicates maximum damage. however, if it goes over the purple, it will
react violently and explode your arm off, so you have to time it just
right to get the best damage possible. On icebox, instead of dealing raw
damage, fish will freeze mobs depending on how long you charged ur
throw. charging it for too long will cause the fish to freeze you
instead

an ore vent is unable to find any space where it can spawn any new
hostile mobs.
Upon testing this, it worked fairly well, but ultimately node drones
were capable of tanking enough hits for long enough that typically they
could still survive a small vent's onslaught. As a precaution, I've made
two additional changes.
* Node drones have had their maximum health dropped slightly, from 500
health to 300 health.
* As a secondary precaution, if a spawner using the turf peel method
cannot spawn correctly, it will send a signal, which ore vents are now
registered to. When called on an ore vent, it has new behavior to clear
the offending nearby turfs and create a pathway to allow nearby mobs to
get access to the vent.
* (**This is an explosion**.)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes an unreported on the repo but repeatedly pinged issue regarding
ore vent waves where players could often wall off or blockoff an ore
vent in such a way that it allows vents to be functionally immortal by
quickly walling off the vent using sandstone doors. This should help to
prevent players cheesing the intended gameplay mechanic, as well as keep
up the challenge to arcmining wave defense without some additional
nuance.
I may have gone a little overboard with the health tweaks as well, but
considering that even with the explosions, I was able to survive the
repeated explosions on the vent, I think this should work quite well all
things considered. Still, open to feedback there.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Ore vents, if blocked off from all four sides while being
defended, now cause a mild gas explosion, resulting in a mild dissuasive
explosion.
fix: NODE drones spawned from ore vent defense have lower maximum
health.

## About The Pull Request
Default psyker refresh rate has gone from '2 seconds' to '1 second'
## Why It's Good For The Game
I tried playing Psyker a few rounds ago. Oh my god. It was so bad.
Genuinely, I spent more time looking at the fadeout screen than actually
seeing things. It was horrible and most importantly extremely
nauseating. I wasn't even able to make my way to the station nor find
where my guns even were.
I had just eaten lunch and literally had to stop and suicide just so I
didn't throw up. In real life. I injected the 2 gore injectors and
noticed there was another meat cube with nearby expended gore injectors
next to me. Someone else joined as Psyker and did the same thing after
noticing how unplayable it was.
While testing in local I was shocked by how much better it felt. Trying
to compare the two experiences made me realize that there is a HUGE
diference between the 'real' cooldown in local and on live.
Due to that, I'm just going ahead and shortening the cooldown, which
will hopefully bring Echocolocation into its INTENDED design, rather
than the UNINTENDED slower, laggier version.
I think the main reason it was nauseating on live, unlike local, is that
in local, I spend more time being able to see things. In live, I spent
more time looking at the black fading screen.
While I labeled it as balance, this is probably closer to a qol or fix
than anything else imo. It brings Psyker into its intended design and
tries to stop it causing real life nausea.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Halved Psyker echolocation cooldown. This will hopefully make
it actually usable.

## About The Pull Request
At some point we added a new parameter to spawners which randomised the
number of mobs they could spawn up to a maximum.
For some reason the default value here was set to "2", meaning that
every mob spawner in the game would be spawning an average of 1.5 mobs
per update instead of 1.
As the place it was _intended_ for (mining vents) already provides a
value in the constructor, I just set the default back to 1.
Additionally, this randomised value did not actually obey the "maximum
mobs" parameter of the component and could spawn mobs above what was
supposed to be the cap of mobs created by the spawner.
This PR fixes those things.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Mob spawners (such as lavaland tendrils) won't spawn more mobs than
they are supposed to, faster than they should.

## About The Pull Request
adds raptors to lavaland. these are creatures that have been created
through countless xenobiological experiments by nanotrasen to breed an
animal that can withstand the harsh conditions of lavaland and aid
miners. theres now a new ranch miners can access bottom right to the
mining base
this ranch starts somewhat empty as most raptors have escaped
containment and are now scattered all across lavaland, u can find them
and return them to ur ranch.
in order to tame a raptor, u first need to prove to it that ur a capable
master. when u try to ride it, a little minigame prompt will pop up
in this game, the bird's icon rapidly changes direction and u have to
quickly click the arrow thats OPPOSITE to the direction its facing
several times before the direction changes. if you fail 3 times itll
knock you off and run away, however if u win it will deem u a suitable
master and listen to your orders.
There's many different breeds of raptors you can find across lavaland,
all with different capabilities:
red raptors: these excel at combat and can be very useful for dealing
with lavaland mobs or defending the node drone
yellow raptors: are very speedy mounts, theyll get u from point A to
point B in record time
green raptors: they are the tankiest type of raptor and are very good
miners. while mounted, they will clear any rock walls in their path
purple raptors: can store items in them. they have a decent storage size
allowing players to carry more items across trips
white raptors: are able to heal other injured raptors. having one in ur
party would be very useful as they can nurse the combat raptors back to
full health when they need it
blue raptors: produce very nutritious milk with healing capabilities.
having 1 or 2 of these back at ur ranch would be very useful
black raptors: by far the rarest breed, its very unlikely that ull be
able to get one of these, but in the case u do, they have the combat
capabilities of the red raptor, speed of the yellow raptor, and
tankiness of the green raptor.
Breeding different colored raptors together can net u an entirely new
colored raptor. each breed has atleast 1 guaranteed combination of
parents that it will result out of.
you will also need to maintain a good friendship bond with ur raptors,
this is done by feeding them, grooming them, and petting them. u can see
the strength of ur bond by SHIFT clicking them. more hearts indicate a
stronger bond
having higher friendship bonds means ur raptors will perform better in
combat, and in the case of blue raptors, they will produce more milk.
Maintaining friendship bonds with baby raptors and keeping them happy
will also encourage them to grow faster
U can also analyze raptors using the new raptor-dex device available at
ur ranch
the inherit modifiers indicate how strong this raptor's offspring will
be. raptors inherit attack and health stats from both their parents,
breeding raptors with higher inherit modifiers means the offspring will
be stronger.
raptors will also inherit some traits from their parents that will
change how they will act around u and around other raptors, some of them
being:
Playful: raptors will play with their masters and tease them
motherly: raptors will care for baby raptors, this will encourage baby
raptors to grow quicker
depressed: means its hard to keep this raptor happy and friendship bonds
will deteriorate faster if not given enough care.
coward: makes them flee combat if severly injured, ditching u to the
wolves
trouble maker: makes them attack other raptors at the ranch. however,
trouble maker raptors will not attack other trouble maker raptors,
instead they will form posses and bully raptors together. it might be a
good idea to isolate them from the other raptors
raptors primarily consume ores. to feed raptors, you need to place ore
into the food troughs at the ranch. they are too civilized to eat ores
off the ground or directly from ur hand, they will only eat it if its in
their trough

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.
OH YEAH and being shrunken now gives you the squash component so you can

## 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
(short, slightly outdated video compilation of the pirates)
https://youtu.be/j9BNFzcUSjc
Adds the **MEDIEVAL WARMONGERS** pirate gang, these pirates are focused
on causing chaos directly on the station with the use of melee weaponry
and swarming tactics.
they are not very smart when it comes to using technology, so they crash
in the station in an attempt to dock.
the pirates spawn with the NOGUN trait as they have never used guns
before but have access to dashing and the unbreakable component(small
heal burst upon reaching crit).
Warlord spawns with a better version of hulk(isnt removed upon crit and
can still do stuff while critted) and gigantism mutation by default
because ~~Chad Maximus~~ the other pirates require someone to run to
when stuff like flashbangs, batons or lasers are present. The warlord
spawns with a boarding axe which is a better axe that is good at
destroying things and a meat hook. **there's a total of 5 pirates.**
the pirate shuttle has:
- thermite barrel and 3 large beakers
- single weak claymore
- 3 extra military spears
- 3 kite shields
- 3 heavy bolas
- 4 regular bolas
- a stack of wood
- 2 stacks of mourning poultice (15 uses each)
- one burn medkit
**shuttle was made by striders18, big thanks to him**
things added:
- the new pirate gang
- a gamberson jumpsuit
- crude armor (good melee and wound protection but lacks on the rest)
- warlord armor (extreme protection at the cost of slowdown)
- a shortsword(bootleg claymore with 30 block chance and goes on belt
instead of back)
- military spear (better at throwing, better wounding, deals blunt
wounds instead of sharp)
- axe with better damage and demolition mod for the warlord
- a var to specify the name of the landing zone destination for the
assaultpod
- an assault pod targeting device item for the medieval shuttle
- a thermite barrel
- kite shields
- new hulk variant that doesnt go away when crit and has tenacity

Credit to Melbert for this idea.
Adds a new achievement awarded for carrying a boulder from Lavaland to
the Centcom Rescue Wing (via the Escape Shuttle).
If the boulder ever leaves your hands you will not gain the achievement.
If the boulder is not outside on Lavaland when you pick it up you will
not gain the achievement.
If you arrive at the Rescue Ship (via pod) you will not gain the
achievement.
If you drop the boulder
If the shuttle is hijacked and you do not arrive at Centcom you will not
gain the achievement (perhaps try hitting the hijacker with the boulder
you are not allowed to drop?).
If you arrive at Centcom via the Escape Shuttle but fail to exit the
shuttle holding the boulder (for instance, because a max cap bomb is
detonated next to you one second after the shuttle arrives) you will not
gain the achievement.
As the achievement is rewarded after the round-end report is generated,
you also will not be represented on the round-end report. This is a
personal struggle.
Also carrying a boulder slows you down. Dragging it already did, so I'm
not sure why carrying one did not. It feels like an oversight, and just
makes sense.
People rarely have any particular need to manually carry them anywhere
so this should be fine, right? 🙂

## About The Pull Request
[This PR is a bounty requested by Ophaq and worked on by
Singul0.](https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=36013)
All of the following description in this PR is written by Ophaq as to
what this PR entails:
In this PR, the medical and engineering cyborg's tools are completely
reworked and condensed into an arm similar to the implant a carbon would
get. The tools are shown in a radial wheel around the character to quick
select what is needed instead of looking for it in a cluttered bag of
items. There are a few tools such as the blood filter for the medical
cyborg, as well as the welder, gas analyzer, and t-ray scanner for the
engineering cyborg excluded from the radial wheel. mostly due to their
inherent inmodularity
Each cyborg gets two arms in case the player wishes to have one on the
side to quick swap to, like having a scalpel in one arm and a hemostat
in the other on the hotbar for convenience or just preference. An
upgraded version of the tools has been added to each respective cyborg
upgrade node with somewhat faster action speed. The upgrade replaces the
arms and transforms them into the "advanced" version which is currently
the same sprite as the regular but just a faster and more efficient
version. The sprites for the surgical arm currently look good but may
need replacing later if someone who wishes to resprite them down the
line decides to do so.
## Why It's Good For The Game
As it currently stands, the medical cyborg's magical bag of gadgets
takes up a lot of your screen space and as a player who plays medical A
LOT, this was a MUCH NEEDED quality of life feature.
The amount of clutter in a medical cyborg's bag makes it in my opinion,
hard to see at the bottom of the screen and a nuisance to constantly
close compared to other models. My standard set up for playing medical
cyborg on the hotbar is 1=med analyzer, 2=usually a secondary surgery
tool or injector, and 3=another surgery tool. The flow of gameplay
during surgery ends up being surgery tool, hit 3 and drop it, surgery
tool, repeat or for efficiency using X to swap between the two surgery
tools I need on 2 and 3. This gets tedious especially after so many
hours of playing medical cyborg. I know some people may disagree, but I
think it would help a lot of help to speed up this flow of gameplay
during surgery and declutter.
By turning the medical cyborg's toolset into an omni-surgery tool which
functions like the surgery arm implant's radial wheel, this would
greatly declutter by like an entire row and make things easier on
medical cyborg players. Having a secondary in the bag helps with
efficiency for those players who like having an extra tool on their
hotbar and swapping back and forth would also improve efficiency and
make less swapping by hitting Z needed. Additionally with the upgraded
version as an optional upgrade in the mediborg tech, this also lets them
be on par with players who use advanced tools late game but not at the
level of alien tools where players would obviously out compete a
mediborg in terms of action speed.
Engineering models also benefit from this rework but at a slightly
different and lesser way whereas certain tools are excluded such as the
welder, due to the way they work on refill and the gas scanner and t-ray
scanner not counting as tool components are not included in the arms.
Syndicate versions of the engineering and medical cyborg also get these
arms, unupgraded.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Adds an omnitoolset for both engineering and medical cyborgs,
containing various basic tools
qol: Engineer and Medical module inventory space is now significantly
decluttered
