## About The Pull Request
1. Monkeys will only seek out food to eat if they are actually hungry,
rather than on an arbitrary cooldown.
2. Monkeys will no longer teleport-yoink food out of your hands.
Instead, they may get angry at you for stealing their food, and fight
you over it. The hungrier the monkey, the more likely they are to fight.
3. Monkeys will discard trash and empty glasses (on the floor) after
eating or drinking them.
4. Monkeys can target soup to eat
5. PunPun will no longer seek out drinks if they are hungry.
6. PunPun will now, if the bartender is absent and there are multiple
patrons around, attempt to find filled glasses or food to hand out to
patrons.
7. Several places that sought edible items no longer include drinking
glasses as edible items

## Why It's Good For The Game
PunPun shouldn't be yoinking glasses out of patron's hands - their
intended behavior is to serve drinks not steal them
Otherwise, monkey eating was a bit jank due to it being some of our
oldest ai code. I largely just brought it up to more modern ai
standards.
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
Monke is smarter than this.
If they try to move to themselves, it will result in a signal override
that we don't want or need. I'm not sure if this is something we'd wanna
guard against globally so I just left it locally in the behavior

## About The Pull Request
### Fix
If a monkey has no enemies, it will not attack anything.
For normal monkeys, this just caused nothing to happen.
For angry monkeys, this allowed them to run `monkey_set_combat_target`
and pick a target from view rather than enemies list.
However, when determining "am I allowed to attack this guy", it checked
the enemies list. Which is still empty. Meaning angry monkeys would not
attack the target they just selected.
I fixed this by adding a check for target in addition to a check for
enemies.
### Other
I also reduced the chance of screeching from 100% to 25% (or 10% for
humans).
## Why It's Good For The Game
- Bugfix
- In testing this bugfix, monkeys screeching literally every attack is a
bit excessive and spammy, especially if you're not a monkey. Bumping the
odds down keeps the "rabid monkey" effect without overdoing it.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
fix: Angry monkeys (and the primal instincts trauma) are VIOLENT again
qol: Monkeys no longer screech every tick they are attacking someone

## About The Pull Request
Most of these changes are centered around removing `mod.wearer`
references in module function bubble alerts. However, I cleaned up a few
other things that I thought were easy fixes. ~~This PR should be
testmerged~~ nah send it. I think I did a pretty good job testing, but
there might be a bug or two I missed. (debug modsuit should allow
conflicting modules and have unlimited complexity btw)
### Track who clicks the activate button
* Adds `mob/activator` to `on_select()`, `activate()`, `deactivate()`,
`used()`, `on_activation()`, `on_deactivation()` and `on_use()`
* `mod_ui` now passes `ui.user`, which is who actually clicked the
button in the UI.1
* module action proc now passes the person clicking.
* **Alert bubbles:** Modifies many module code bubbles to pass the
activation bubble text to `mob/activator` instead of `mob.wearer` so
that pAIs get feedback on why clicking the button isn't working.
### Cargo clamp
* **Clamp code cleanup:** The cargo clamp now has a variable for the max
creature weight it can support, and the logic is changed around a bit to
support this.
* The cargo clamp uses an `accepted_items` typecache.
### Code cleanup
* **Button malfunction chance** is controlled by a
`MOD_MALFUNCTION_PROB` define.
* **Pathfinder runtime:** `mod_control`'s `GetAccess()` now checks if
there is an access before returning it. (This previously caused runtimes
when using the pathfinder module if you didn't swipe your ID)
* **Pathfinder code tweaks:** Reworks the code for the pathfinder module
a bit. Activation logic is now stored in the module instead of the
implant. The suit is prevented from being recalled by pAIs, which is
controlled by a variable.
* Adds `MODULE_ALLOW_UNWORN`, which lets you activate modules in suits
that aren't currently being worn. Module activation code now smoothly
supports modules being activated while not worn.
* Chameleon module now works when unworn.
This will probably be a Part 1, with a Part 2 to follow. Actions are
kinda funky and could probably be cleaned up a little better. Plus, I
want to make selectable modules theoretically usable by the AI, even if
I leave it disabled.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This PR doesn't contain any balance changes, and I manually disabled any
new serious functionality that pAIs might gain. (Such as being able to
activate the pathfinder implant) They *can* use the chameleon module
with no wearer- but I'm going to consider this a bug that they couldn't
before.
Paves the way for more pAI modsuit nonsense I'm doing downsteam.

adds stoats to the game!
these are relatively friendly animals u can find in maints. they'll hunt
down mice and other smaller vermin (making them a janitor's best friend)
,and are nimble enough to crawl through pipes. They also love stealing
things as they will drag random objects they find lying around them.
additionally, you may find disposal bins that are shaking, this means
there's a stoat inside rummaging it for food. clicking eject or throwing
anything in the bin will cause the stoat to immediately jump out scared.
u can also tame them by feeding them eggs or dead mice.

## About The Pull Request
Since #90505 added another entry to it the Regal Rat Riot ability, which
turns maintenance creatures into versions loyal to the rat, has become
sort of unmanageable (and to be honest it was a bit gross to start
with).
Instead of having a big if/else list (which was making the same range
check multiple times...) that sets stats on a bunch of mobs, I delegated
it to the mobs themselves and instead of changing some stats of the
existing mobs we just turn them into a new mob which can be spawned or
placed separately by mappers or admins if they want.
Other stuff I changed:
Riot (the ability which transforms mobs into minions) no longer spawns a
mouse if it fails to find anything. Instead you have a chance to fish
mice out of disposals bins while digging out trash and items.
Domain is now a toggle which activates itself every 6 seconds rather
than a button you manually click every 6 seconds.
Riot makes a visual effect when used.
Rare Pepe randomisation is done via a random spawner instead of the mob
modifying a bunch of its own properties in Initialise.
A bunch of mobs now automatically follow you after being tamed. I wrote
this assuming I was going to add it to the rioted mobs but then didn't
end up doing that because you might want them to immediately attack
someone.
My rule of thumb is that if I think you'd want the mob to attack someone
the moment it is befriended I didn't add this and if you wouldn't I did.
I changed some of the regal rat minion names, and some of them can now
spawn from gold slime which couldn't before.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This proc sucked and now it's nicer.
As for the other changes;
- A tamed mob immediately following you is nice feedback and saves you a
click as it's likely to be your first action. Also removes some admin
panel shitcode I added.
- I changed Domain to a toggle because you generally want to use it on
cooldown and someone suggested it on this PR and it sounded like a good
idea.
- I saw someone in Discord complaining that the previous flow of
recruiting rats by hitting Riot with nothing around to summon one,
waiting, hitting it again to convert one rat, and waiting again was
tedious and annoying which I agree with.
This method improves the quality of life by separating these two actions
but _also_ as a side effect reduces a regal rat's ability to secretly
stockpile 50 rats in a hidden maintenance room because most disposal
bins are in slightly more visible areas, they'll actually need to go and
make a mess somewhere someone can see them.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Regal Rats can now grab mice out of disposal bins, and no
longer spawn them with the Riot ability.
balance: The Riot ability no longer needs to be used once for each
slightly different kind of mob in your radius.
balance: The Regal Rat Domain ability is now toggled on and off.
balance: Several kinds of mob will immediately start following you once
tamed.
balance: Rats, hostile frogs, and evil snails can be created via gold
slime reaction.

these are harmless critters you can find in maints. they love eating all
variety of fruits, and are gravitated towards snail people, where
they'll dance around them.
you can also pick them up and put them on your head.
finally, you can also grab them and put them in hydrotrays (they will
swim around in it very slowly). they'll help ur plants grow as they act
as natural weed-repellants, as they'll eat weeds that grow in trays.

This PR redesigns ice whelps somewhat
As before they have two fire breath attacks, one of which is a line and
one of which is a point blank AOE
Unlike before, the aspect of forecasting that the attack is coming is
now part of the ability and not a component only used by ice whelps (I
didn't like the component) and comes with visuals
Also unlike before, the line breath is longer and comes out faster
(because it's frankly pretty trivial to avoid) and the point blank
effect has been upgraded to effect every tile in a circular area within
3 spaces of the drake
The drake will now use the "every nearby tile" attack if you are close
by when its abilities come off cooldown, and the longer ranged one if
you're not
## Why It's Good For The Game
This fixes Ice Drakes using their breath attack literally once and never
again and might make them slightly more interesting to fight
Their slow speed and inaccurate targeting I think still means that
they're not very threatening on their own, but that'd need a more
substantial redesign to fix

## About The Pull Request
This PR removes the `basic_mob_attack_telegraph` component from all mobs
which were using it and instead implements an attack delay directly into
the basic melee AI behaviour.
This delay simulates "moving your mouse into position", human reaction
times, and the fact that the previous implentation of simple mobs would
only try to melee attack on a predictable timer you could "juke" around.
The way that this delay works is that it starts as soon as the mob
enters melee range and resets if you are ever out of the mob's reach, so
there will be no delay if you are foolish enough (or unfortunately
preventing from doing otherwise) to continue standing next to a mob but
there is enough of a one to duck in and out of melee range with a
goliath while using a crusher without getting hit, although trying to
run past one usually won't work.
This delay defaults to 0.3 seconds which in my testing experience was
roughly enough to dip in and out of range without getting hit but not
enough to run all the way past a mob without getting hit. It can be
overriden via the blackboard, although currently no mob does this.
I _was_ testing this locally with no latency though so I guess we'll
listen out to see if miners start yelling.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The visible attack broadcast is very cool but its visibility made melee
combat with any mob that had it significantly easier to such a degree
that any mob with it on could not really be expected to do melee damage
to any character that wasn't suffering some kind of immobilisation
effect which was never really the intention.
Removing it also removes any additional handicap that was applied to
sapient versions of these mobs, which was never really necessary or
intended in the first place.
I did not remove the component entirely from the game for two reasons:
- Out of the hope that there is some use for it somewhere, because I
think it's cool, but more importantly:
- Because it's still being used by simple mob megafauna as a workaround
for a bug we couldn't figure out.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Most mobs will now hesitate for a moment before attacking
rather than instantly hitting anything that enters melee range, to
better simulate human behaviour. Please report if this delay seems too
short, or too long.
balance: Most mobs which telegraphed their basic attacks on you now will
not do that

## About The Pull Request
Adds a unit test that checks that all designs are accessible through
some source, be it techweb, disks, or innate designs. Certain designs,
like pocket extinguishers, entertainment screens, etc, that have been
present in autolathes but not in the techweb despite having PROTOLATHE
flag assigned have been put into protolathes (where it made sense,
otherwise the flag was removed).
An important change is that restaurant portals are now printable, and
thus can be constructed and deconstructed. Indestructible portals have
been a major gripe of mine for a while, and I don't see a solid reason
for keeping them indestructible if they can easily be printed from the
service protolathe.
Closes#90212
## Why It's Good For The Game
Initial argument for keeping portals unbreakable was to prevent people
from griefing the chef/bartender, but by that logic we can make most
machinery unbreakable too. I don't think that having an unbreakable
portal is good if its locking us out from allowing chefs/bartenders to
reorder or even outright reposition their lunchroom/bar.

## About The Pull Request
``client_contents`` contains all mobs with clients, just like you'd

## About The Pull Request
Fixes a handful of minor misc issues detected while trying to break
#89591
These are basically summed up as:
- check_teleport_valid (used in a couple of places) never actually
nullchecked the destination then runtimes later if it is null. We'd
rather it just returns false if you're trying to teleport to nowhere I
think.
- Warp Cubes (a mining item) did something similar if one of them ended
up in nullspace somehow.
- AI controllers in nullspace would runtime repeatedly while trying to
check their Z level, we never want an AI controller to be awake in
nullspace so we'll just tell them to shut off in there.
Sometimes items and mobs go to nullspace for holding reasons, but I
don't think any of these were commonly encountered issues.

## About The Pull Request
Separate verb and PR from #89375 because this is something you'd apply
on top of a mob with existing behaviour, or one you've used the other
verb on.
This will probably conflict with my other PR but that's my problem.
This adds a shortcut for making mobs say/emote stuff randomly on a timer
from a list of things you have specified.
Doing this via VV is possible but sufficiently complicated that I don't
think anyone would ever bother.
As with the other PR you can optionally do this to mobs who already have
a client if you want them to randomly burp every so often or something.
I briefly flirted with the idea of replacing all
`/datum/ai_planning_subtree/random_speech` subtypes with blackboard ones
but... I think probably actually we save some memory _and_ sanity by not
doing that.
A bunch of mobs on totally different typepaths use the `/insect` subtype
for instance, and I don't think it would be an improvement to paste the
same four vars into all of their blackboards.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This one is frankly more niche than the other PR probably but it is
plausibly useful if you are setting up some kind of VV creature.
## About The Pull Request
Melbert asked me to make this and I thought it'd be relatively easy and
plausibly useful so I did.
This PR adds a feature to the VV menu for mobs which allows you to apply
and configure an AI controller from a list of templates.
It's not as versatile as coding one would be, but it should be able to
accomodate a lot of generic scenarios.
Some examples of basic stuff you can set it up to do:
- Give Ian a machine gun he will fire at nearby people while staying
within a specified min/max range.
- Have Poly fire brimstone beams on cooldown at whoever is nearby
(although she won't bother trying to line up cardinally).
- Assign a gorilla to be someone's personal bodyguard which will follow
them around and attack anyone who hurts them.
I have also made an executive decision to remove the restriction that
basic ai controllers can only be placed on basic mobs.
We've removed _most_ non-basic simple mobs from the game, and also have
more recently updated most AI behaviours to work agnostically of whether
they are assigned to a basic mob or not... which means that they'll
largely work on carbons.
Coincidentally, this feature makes sure to ask if you want an AI
controller to remain active on a mob which already has a client.
Assigning an active AI controller to a live player which forces their
character to automatically attempt to run away from whoever the last
person to attack them was is ~~not recommended behaviour because it's
largely untested~~ highly recommended behaviour because I think it's
very funny (makes it very hard to play though).
I'm gonna do another PR some time which cleans up `random_speech` so
it's configurable and then let you slap that on whoever as well.

## About The Pull Request
Converts geese to basic mobs.
Nobody else did this one because two separate other developers have said
they started and then examining what the goose does made them feel
mildly ill, but I am stronger.
I will admit though I wasn't 100% committed to making it work exactly
the same way, I rewrote the entire system to use interfaces I like more
(read: I put all this shit in a status effect which means any mob can be
given the ability to vomit out everything in its contents) and if that
means the behaviour is only "inspired by" that didn't bother me that
much.
**Geese:**
- Wander randomly around.
- Peck people who attack them.
- Occasionally start pecking other nearby animals for absolutely no
reason.
- Eat any food they randomly wander within one tile of, but don't seek
it out further than that.
- Eat anything made of plastic that they randomly wander within one tile
of.
- Choke to death over 30 seconds if they eat anything made of plastic.
- Vomit out whatever it was that they choked on when they die.
- Honk (this is new).
The more famous subtype of goose is Birdboat. Birdboat is a unique goose
present on several maps with some additional behaviour.
**Birdboat:**
- Is chill and doesn't start pecking people for no reason.
- Is occasionally possessed by ghosts.
- Builds up an internal vomit-meter as he eats things. Moving around and
just sort of generally hanging will start rolling dice to find out when
Birdboat's tummy gets upset.
- May start vomiting instead of choking to death on plastic, thereby
saving his own life.
- Vomits out everything that he just ate while running around, making a
mess of the floor.
- Starts eating everything he just vomited out again.
Unlike regular geese who just eat your food and it's gone, Birdboat's
miraculous digestion preserves all of the food he eats so if he consumes
the entire kitchen counter it will eventually come back out again the
way it went in. Although you might not want to eat it any more.
The precise way in which this manifests may be slightly different, but
largely this is also what these animals did before.
Other stuff:
I noticed a bunch of find/set behaviours were not setting a search
range? I think that means they were never finding anything?
I did not actually test any of them to see if they were broken, but it's
possible that a bunch of broken AI behaviours like "climbing trees" may
now actually start triggering because they have a search radius greater
than an orange of 0.
I added "keep this in contents instead of deleting it" as a parameter
for generic eating and slapped it on the goldgrub, as it is used in two
places and may end up being used in more.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This kills off the last user of the `retaliate` subtype and makes our
list so so much closer to finish.
It's like... a couple of bots, a handful of oddballs (I'll probably
handle these soon), and then just the mining bosses and minibosses to
go.
If you give a human the vomit goose ability (now that I made it work on
any mob) they will eject all their organs and body parts via the mouth
until they die, if you don't do the brain or heart first you can vomit
your own head off.

firstly, the new ruin: outpost 31
its layout is vaguely based off an official map of the Outpost 31 from
the Thing movie but i ran out of space halfway
the boss drops a keycard for the storage room that you cant get in
otherwise, containing its own special item, and other stuff probably
useful for crew
crusher loot: trophy that heals you on each hit
the ruin is guarded by like 3 flesh blobs, very resilient (and slow)
masses of flesh that deal 3 brute damage, not harmful in melee but WILL
attempt to grab and devour/assimilate you which is FAR more lethal
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/542cc6d0-f4ee-4598-9677-a03170c6c1c3
Boss: The Thing (with creative liberties otherwise this thing would
instakill you if it was true to source material)
difficulty: medium apparently idk mining jesus beat it with 400ms or so
HP: 1800
It is a much higher ranking changeling than those infiltrating SS13
It has 3 phases, 600hp each. Depleting its phase health will turn it
invincible and it will heal back half in 10 seconds. In order to prevent
this, the two Molecular Accelerators must be overloaded by interacting
with them to blast the changeling with deadly scifi magic or whatever
they do, forcing it to shed its form further and go to the next phase.
Not necessary for phase 3 because it literally just dies then
it focuses mostly on meleeing you and making certain tiles impassable
for you with 1hp tendrils, all attacks are telegraphed so theres no dumb
instakills here
it alternates between aoe abilities and abilities
melee behavior:
- if too far, charge at target (charges twice on phase 3)
- too close, shriek (unavailable in phase 1) (technically AOE but its
more like a melee ability you know??)
- otherwise just try to melee
Shriek: if the player is too close emit a confusing shriek that makes
them confused and drop items
aoe behavior (phase 2, 3 only):
1: Puts 4 tendrils in a line cardinally
2: Puts tendrils around itself
3. Puts a patch of tendrils around and under the target, 3x3 in phase 3
4. Phase 3 only - spits patches of acid into the air that hurt when
stepped on

unique megafauna loot for this boss is like 1 AI-Uplink brain
its like a BORIS module but for humans i think you can figure out what
that means
while in a human shell they cannot roll non-malf midrounds and cannot be
converted, and cannot be mindswapped
the human MUST have all robotic organs (minus tongue because its not in
the exosuit fab and that kinda sucks to get)
will undeploy if polymorphed

## Why It's Good For The Game
icebox is severely lacking in actual good ruins (fuck that one fountain
ruin)
i feel that the loot given by megafauna has been and still apparently is
exclusively to make the victor more powerful, which kinda sucks because
thats just powergaming???? the loot of this boss is more crewsided,
specifically aiding the AI in a VERY limited quantity (1), so its not
anything good for powergamers, good for crew if the AI is not rogue
## Changelog
🆑
add: outpost 31, the icebox ruin. Also its associated mobs, and
megafauna, and loot. Im not spoiling anything, find it yourself.

## About The Pull Request
Simple animal Dark Wizard => Basic mob Dark Wizard.
This mob is I think used in literally one ruin, and very occasionally
spawned in deathmatch.
They don't really do anything except shoot you with slowing projectiles
and hit you with sticks.
I gave them a version of blink with a longer cooldown that they use when
attacked in melee range purely to make them very marginally more
wizard-like, and they will also now try to back away from you while
shooting you instead of running towards you.
They will also retaliate against anyone who attacks them including as a
response to friendly fire from other Dark Wizards, because I think it is
funny if they have very little loyalty to each other and that's a fun
thing to trigger when you are playing Doom.
Finally, we have a component called "revenge ability" which is mostly a
standin for AI responses to getting attacked. I made all existing uses
of it turn off if you're controlled by a sapient player who can hit
those buttons themselves, because they can choose when they want to use
those abilities themselves.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The march of progress is almost complete

refactor: refactored some code
balance: Dark Wizards now teleport when attacked, but are more likely to
turn on their allies

## About The Pull Request
adds turtles to the game! but these aren't your typical turtles.
these are flora-turtles, with giant trees growing on their shells. These
trees can emit fields which affects nearby hydroponic plants. Initially,
the trees start out as young buds, from there the tree can evolve into
different types depending on what you feed the turtle.
Feeding them pesticides causes the tree to blossom to be purple. this
tree's fields will help kill some pests and weeds in nearby plants.
Feeding them nutrients gives you the green tree, the fields will heal
nearby plants
Feeding them mutators like uranium or left 4 zed gives you the yellow
tree. the fields increase instability of plants
The turtle will emit these fields every once in a while, ONLY when its
feeling happy. therefore you'll have to pet it, clean it and feed it
every once in a while to keep it satisfied. You can view the turtle's
happiness by shift clicking it.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a47136a1-06a1-419e-acc2-2f6f4468e296
The turtle only eats seeds. after eating a seed, itll process it and
spit out its corresponding fruit! (for example, feeding it an apple seed
gives you an apple). itll also sometimes playfully headbutt your legs
and it loves going around smelling the scent from nearby plants
you can get these turtles by fishing the hydroponics tray or by ordering
them through cargo.
## Why It's Good For The Game
adds a new fun way for botanists to take care of their plants. While
these turtles alone arent enough to fully replace plant dedicated
nutrients, they add small extra support.

## About The Pull Request
Looks through calls to `receive_damage` and replaces them with calls to
`apply_damage`
`receive_damage` is a gross to use internal proc that doesn't take into
account physiology (damage modifiers) or even update the mob's sprite
when taking damage
It should be avoided many uses - `apply_damage`, in fact, can take a
bodypart as a target, and is overall a lot easier and more ergonomic to
use.
"So what are valid uses of it?"
- Apply damage itself, and similar direct-damage procs
- Ensuring you deal an exact amount of damage to a bodypart
- Damaging a limb with no owner
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: A ton of things now use the more correct method of applying
damage to you. Which means they will correctly factor in damage
modifiers and are less likely to break your sprite. Some examples
include embedded objects jostling around, chiropractice, and tackling a
wall. Report any oddities, such as extreme damage or bodyparts being
wrongly affected.
fix: Having acid splashed on your face may now disfigure you and make
you bald, as it once did three years ago.
fix: Itchy heretic trauma now better checks if the bodypart is covered
or not before determining if you should itch.
fix: "Repair Puncture" logs no longer mistakenly report you are
"Incising burned flesh"

## About The Pull Request
this fixes some few sentient repairbot-related issues that were reported
a few days ago. ive also given sentient repairbots a new simple UI to
manage their materials.
while I was at it, i also fixed bots continuously trying to path to
unreachable beacons, which can be quite costly since they're regularly
very far away.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#84338
When handcuffed or crit, you are unable to resist even a passive grab,
you are truly helpless
Yet monkeys ignore this
They ignore this because the code handling above is on the client:
`/client/proc/Process_Grab()`
The ideal fix for this is to move it off the client, but that carries a
bunch of order of operations shenanigans so I'll leave that for a more
in depth refactor of this kinda stuff
In the meanwhile we can simply tell AI controllers not to move if
grabbed and incapacitated (barring stasis)
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
adds repairbots to the game!
this pr serves as a massive rework and buff to floorbots. i was a bit
sad that they dont get built much anymore so ive given them tons of more
utilities and uses.
Repairbots still inherit to place tiles and repair breaches. but they
can now rebuild walls, rebuild windows and repair structure and
machinery. Also Ive given them voicelines to add more character to them.
In short, they are very depressed with their job (however they express
their happy go lucky attitude when u emag them where they will start
deconstructing the station)
to demonstrate capabilities, here's a slightly sped up clip of some
repairbots patching up an area that was maxcapped 4 times:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bddac3b0-1984-4571-85d3-c5283dd7c0de
When repairbots feel threatened, they will retract into their little
toolbox which u can pick up and hold in ur hand, either to conveniently
carry and plop them down at breached sites, or to bash skull with it
U can build them using a toolbox, proximity sensor, cyborg arm and a
conveyor belt
## Why It's Good For The Game
refactors floorbots and makes them alot more useful tools for engineers
to use

## About The Pull Request
This PR kills the abstract internal and external typepaths for organs,
now replaced by an EXTERNAL_ORGAN flag to distinguish the two kinds.
This PR also fixes fox ears (from #87162, no tail is added) and
mushpeople's caps (they should be red, the screenshot is a tad
outdated).
And yes, you can now use a hair dye spray to recolor body parts like
most tails, podpeople hair, mushpeople caps and cat ears. The process
can be reversed by using the spray again.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Time-Green put some effort during the last few months to untie functions
and mechanics from external/internal organ pathing. Now, all that this
pathing is good for are a few typechecks, easily replaceable with
bitflags.
Also podpeople and mushpeople need a way to recolor their "hair". This
kind of applies to fish tails from the fish infusion, which colors can't
be selected right now. The rest is just there if you ever want to
recolor your lizard tail for some reason.
Proof of testing btw (screenshot taken before mushpeople cap fix, right
side has dyed body parts, moth can't be dyed, they're already fabolous):
## Changelog
🆑
code: Removed internal/external pathing from organs in favor of a bit
flag. Hopefully this shouldn't break anything about organs.
fix: Fixed invisible fox ears.
fix: Fixed mushpeople caps not being colored red by default.
add: You can now dye most tails, podpeople hair, mushpeople caps etc.
