## About The Pull Request
The soft-revert was merged since it targeted an issue that could crash
the server with infinite loops. However, the solution was kinda shoddy,
which brought the `get_environment` inside the main loop, which I'm once
again trying to move outside it. This way it only has to be called once.
The NO GBP tag is here because the issue was my fault. This PR includes
some small changes done to test and ensure that this won't happen in the
future.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fewer unnecessary calls. The performance of the crafting unit test is
roughly the same (10 seconds circa), because the bulk of it is spawning
the required objects anyway.

as paramedic later into the game you'll prefer jaws of life over jaws of
recovery because theyre both silent AND have no area restrictions, but
heres the thing: you cant wear it in suit storage, nor it can act as
bonesetter additionally (why would paramed need wirecutter?) this PR is
aimed to combie both of those jaws into one modified, that would be
useful for paramedic.
also you really should be able to wear them in mod suit storage, trust
me, it sucks to carry paramedic jacket/coat in inventory everytime and
waste time on swapping

## About The Pull Request
Deletes the Bluespace Gas Vendor and accompanying Bluespace Gas Sender
## Why It's Good For The Game
These wall mounts were added as ways to encourage Atmos Techs to
participate in the economy and crew at large. Unfortunately, it's missed
the mark and is unused in 99% of all rounds*.
**I have seen more atmos techs use the bluespace gas sender for exploits
than for its intended use.*
It has been noted that
1. Atmos doesn't need to sell gas to the crew to make money. They can
export gas to cargo to make more money.
2. The crew doesn't really care about gases. They will rarely go out of
their way to acquire them, even if free.
3. Most importantly, most atmos players **like to give out gas for
free** - it's mass producible and seeing people utilize their creations
tend to be its own reward.
4. Even for the atmos techs that want to charge for their products (to
create conflict or whatnot), *you could easily do that by hand via
pre-filling tanks**.
***I have seen more atmos techs make money off of selling pre-filled
tanks than by using the vendor.*
Ultimately, this machine serves no purpose besides bloating wall space
and existing as an atmos exploit vector.

## About The Pull Request
This PR aims to fix another issue with #92577. The main problem is that
the list of instances we get from `get_surroundings()` doesn't contain
items that are found within the person that's crafting the recipe, since
those are checked separately in `check_tools()`. This ends up making the
recipe hella slower because the appropriate tool couldn't be found in
the checks for calculating the duration of the craft.
This also trims a few lines of code and other small things worth of a
small refactor.
EDIT: Found out the real problem. the list of instances was an assoc
list of type -> instances, while I thought otherwise.

### Bows deal more damage.
Increases the baseline damage of the shortbow to 25, and the divine bow
to 30.
The divine bow also launches arrows at a higher velocity than normal
bows.
### Flaming arrows have sprites now, and deal burning damage. Oh, and
actually do reasonable damage.
I'm not at all skilled at animation but at least it has an actual,
visible sprite now.
I completely overlooked the fact this did 20 damage when I changed bows
to use damage multipliers. Oops.
### Ashen Bow and Ashen Arrows
Made from sinew, bone and for the bow specifically, leather. The bow is
largely identical to a shortbow, but the arrow has mining bane. If you
feel like hunting megafauna with a bow, this is your means of doing so.

Assets partially taken from
https://github.com/Skyrat-SS13/Skyrat-tg/pull/5266
Which in of itself took assets from
https://github.com/BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet/pull/1802
The functionality is entirely new. I also did some sprite edits.
### Arrow quivers are made from wood.
Iunno, this was really weird to me. Cardboard seems like a poor quiver
material.
### Other Stuff
Shortbows and ashen bows have the ability to be renamed.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Bows are fun, but kind of middling. They're a lot slower to fire than
the vast majority of ranged weapons, and don't really have enough oomph
in their own right to intimidate people being shot by them.
This is even true of the divine bow, which is the chaplain's version.
Because of how slowly it fires and how little damage it does, the
chances of actually killing someone who poses any real threat to you
with it is pretty laughable. This is not true of the nullrod that you
sacrificed to get this weapon. 30 damage is within the ballpark of
chaplain weapons and their potential damage in some contexts. A slow to
attack weapon probably should have a more impactful hit when considering
your alternative options.
The ashen bow is mostly because I really want to go fauna hunting with
entirely bone-based weaponry. Does this mean some ashwalkers might be
putting arrows into you from afar? Yes. Does this sound fun? Yes. Is
this especially strong? Not really. Miners out damage these bows by a
significant margin, and their armor is usually good enough where they're
not at risk from arrows sticking into them or hurting them very much.
This is also a degree more effort to make than other weapons because of
the leather requirement and the need to kill several fauna for the
materials. The outcomes should be more fun than the costs.

This is a small expansion to narcotics, their production, and presence
in the game! For my esteemed Terry and Manuel/Sybil sector colleagues
I've added:
- 2 new solid drug items: **crystal meth and opium**!
- A **precipitation reaction** for meth after it's been cooled,
producing a solid crystal form, 2u sulfuric acid, 10u meth. **Above 90%
purity, the meth will gain an increasingly blue tint!**
- A production method for opium! Slice a well developed poppy pod with
any sharp item, **before it's fully mature and flowered** to extract a
small amount of opium to enjoy! It's a small container for morphine. Can
be pressed together to combine the concentrations up to 10u, as each
extraction contains trace amounts. Scales off poppy's potency.
- Populated narcotics/contraband spawners with new items, and items that
really should have been on there.
- Added a brand new smoking apparatus, the glass pipe! Can be crafted.
Fixed the transparent pixel.
- **Fixed methsplosions so that now spacemen can finally smoke meth
without exploding!!!** Omegaweed too. Normal methsplosions are
untouched!
- **Expanded the ability for players to insert all drug items into
pipes**, so now players can smoke moon rocks, SaturnX, and my new items!
Previously, only 'dried' items were.
- Fentanyl patch box for narcotics spawner, also for a new ruin I've
made.
- **Expanded these changes to the black market uplink.**
<img width="640" height="256" alt="demo"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c8a0eb2c-b0fa-4e70-b6c1-2e741cd170a2"
/>
Now, players can precipitate meth into a solid form, and produce opium.
I added a lot of these substances and the ones that didn't exist into
spawners that they were partially in, or could reasonably be in. The
opium poppy extraction required a new variable that can be used for
similar interactions too. Crystal sprites are transparent, smoked sprite
has a nice little animation and glow.
These items are now on the black market uplink, in both expensive dealer
shipments of varying rarities for different narcotics, as well as
personal use quantities on a different rotation, at a steeper price.
Expanded randomized spawners to give the black market and ruins more
teeth and edge, without adding another weapon.
Credit to the moon rock guy, I'm just happy I made your stuff smokable!!

/>
tl;dr added opium and meth
## Why It's Good For The Game
For **too long**, narcotics, chems and stims have been mere integers or
buffs/debuffs in pills or syringes, so I introduced two new methods for
making them and populated niche, criminal vectors with them. These are
real items now, with more interactions. Allowing these to be smoked also
allowed moon rocks and SaturnX to be smoked too, including them into
this and enticing players to have another reason to make them as well.
Buffs with drawbacks, addictions and problems are actually great.
It's a new venue for flavor. I've put thought into the balance for
addition and quantity. It'll add a criminal, or exotic tone to a round,
provide new business opportunities, and new access to stims and chems
without going over the top. Perhaps something peaceful antagonists can
do. More proverbial floor pills give security or command something to
selectively enforce, and absolutely provide novel opportunities for
medical staff!
Also, methsplosions now don't happen in cigarette items! You can smoke
omegaweed without fucking dying!
## Changelog

uplink.

## About The Pull Request
##### Code bounty for holinka4ever
Adds a furnace equippable to the back slot, which when active (it is a
lamp), will form a bubble of space protection, affecting the user and
people nearby, and will last 5 minutes before it dissipates and needs to
be re-formed. This item requires a pyroclastic anomaly core to activate,
while the bubble itself can only be formed in pressurized environments.
It's researchable in the Anomaly technology node.
The downsides of the item is it requires 2 hands to hold, can't be
inserted into storage items (as it's bulky), can only be equipped to the
bag slot, and has slowdown while on, which only affects you when you're
in gravity anyways.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The pyro anomaly is currently one of the more useless anomaly cores, not
even getting a unique reactive armour variation. This hopefully gives it
some purpose as a good tool to keep people alive in a spaced area at a
good cost to the user. This is an item that shouldn't be overpowered,
but also isn't just a selfish tool- when someone's crafting this item
it's specifically aiming to help people, which I think is a benefit.

## About The Pull Request
Title. Using better tools should now make crafting faster (or lower)
depending on the quality of the tools. This affects roughly 85% of the
crafting time, so, for every second of it, you're guaranteed to spend
0.15 seconds even if your tools are fast as light itself.
Also a nit with the main benefit of the mining skill being locked to
humans despite it being bound to the mind datum.

### New SFX / VFX
The tesla cannon now uses a new type of beam effect that randomly picks
sprite variants for each segment instead of a tracer.
This makes the arc look more dynamic and less distorted.
Autofire guns can now choose to use a looping sound datum when firing.
#### Balance changes
The tesla cannon must now have its stock unfolded before firing, this
takes 1.5 seconds and makes the gun bulky.
It is still normal sized when folded, and folding it is instant.

## Why It's Good For The Game
### My reasons for respriting
The old sprite was not bad, by all means but I had a few gripes with it.
* The old sprite does not incorporate the flux anomaly yellow colour.
* The old sprite looks a bit much like a real, professionally produced
sci-fi weapon,
* The old sprite looks pretty small for such a ultra high dps full auto
weapon.
* The old inhand is quite indistinct for something that can game end you
in like one second.
### My design
I think that anomaly items should be very mad science coded and, since
anomaly science is by definition a poorly studied field, they should
look more like prototypes created by a scientist rather than something
professionally made in a factory.

A morbid surgery toolset for coroners! Functions exactly like an
ordinary surgical toolset except it uses morbid tools instead of normal
tools! All stats are the same between them otherwise! So to clarify,
this means that these tools all have the CRUEL_IMPLEMENT tag, as they
inherit it from their parent tool. Making them faster for morbid
surgeries when used by someone with the morbid trait (ala coroner).
Also includes a way to craft the toolset:
Requires 1 surgical arm implant
and the following tools: wirecutter, screwdriver, and welder
**NOTE:** Cannot use an emagged surgical toolset.
Takes 10 seconds to craft!
Also made a second craft which allows you to change it back to normal
toolset too. Functions identically to the first but obviously requires a
morbid toolset to do so.
The morbid toolset does not have an emagged variant at this time.

## About The Pull Request
My original plan was to just implement materials into crafting so that
items would inherit the materials of their components, allowing for some
interesting stuff if the material flags of the item allow it. However to
my dismay crafting is a pile of old tech debt, starting from the old
`del_reqs` and `CheckParts` which still contain lines about old janky
bandaids that are no longer in use nor reachable, up to the
`customizable_reagent_holder` component which has some harddel issues
when your custom food is sliced, and items used in food recipes not
being deleted and instead stored inside the result with no purpose as
well as other inconsistencies like stack recipes that transfer materials
having counterparts in the UI that don't do that.
EDIT: Several things have come up while working on this, so I apologise
that it ended up changing over 100+ files. I managed to atomize some of
the changes, but it's a bit tedious.
EDIT: TLDR because I was told this section is too vague and there's too
much going on. This PR:
- Improves the dated crafting code (not the UI).
- replaced `atom/CheckParts` and `crafting_recipe/on_craft_completion`
with `atom/on_craft_completion`.
- Reqs used in food recipes are now deleted by default and not stored
inside the result (they did nothing).
- Renames the customizable_reagent_holder comp and improves it (No
harddels/ref issues).
- Adds a unit test that tries to craft all recipes to see what's wrong
(it skips some of the much more specific reqs for now).
- In the unit test is also the code to make sure materials of the
crafted item and a non-crafted item of the same type are roughly the
same, so far only applied to food.
- Some mild material/food refactoring around the fact that food item
code has been changed to support materials.

## About The Pull Request
If you examine a soul shard closely, you can learn to craft the MOD soul
shard core. It takes the same basic ingredients as other MOD cores, but
uses a soul shard. It is powered by your own soul, which drains your
sanity to provide charge (if mood is disabled in the config, it's
practically equivalent to an infinite core).
Crafting one ejects any shades in the shard (because that's the simplest
behavior that doesn't require a substantial refactor to crafting or
modsuit code).
Depending on the kind of shard used, certain roles get negatively
impacted by using a modsuit with such a core.
- Cult soul shards wrack non-magical roles (anyone that isn't a cultist,
heretic, heretic minion, or wizard) with horrible agony (a -20 moodlet
that expires 10 seconds after turning the suit off)
- Holy soul shards wrack cultists and heretics with horrible agony,
while wizards are put at unease (-3 mood)
- Wizard soul shards have no negative impact on anyone
- If someone were to VV a soul shard to have the heretic theme (only
used by rusted harvesters), it would be functionally identical to the
cult shard
Soulless mobs (liches, people who lost with the cursed russian revolver,
and people who died from casting Soul Tap too many times) have no soul
for the core to draw power from.
Also gives the wizard modsuit a soul core.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Provides a neat but caveat-rich way to utilize soul shards, especially
for players who have no way to obtain construct shells absent a cult or
wizard to create them.
## About The Pull Request
- Damp rag is now no longer god's perfect cleaning tool. After blood,
the damp rag will collect it, and after cleaning a lot of blood, you can
no longer clean with the rag until you wash it in a sink (or with
cleaner or however you want)
- This means the rag will collect DNA in it as you clean, which gives
detectives an opportunity to investigate.
- It also means the DNA it collects will occasionally spread onto you,
meaning you will have to clean your gloves or hands.
- Cleaning vomit and such is (currently) unaffected (and does not dirty
the rag).
- Diseases are not currently transferred to the rag (but this would be
fun to add)
- Gauze now gets dirty when using it to wrap bleeding wounds. This is
just visual, though blood DNA gets transferred. It can be washed in a
sink.
- Removed gauze on sink / cloth on sink interaction.
- Can't really wash gauze with it, plus it's redundant.
- Damp rag is no longer a cup.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Damp rag is just "soap without any downsides", which is kinda lame.
I thought about going a step further and making it require you wet it
first but then it just becomes "mop but small" which is also lame.
Instead, you're required to clean it, which gives janitors / crewmembers
an alternate cleaning method:
- Soap: Small, finite, limited. Can't be replenished.
- Cleaner: Small, finite, even more limited, ranged. Can be refilled
with chemistry's help.
- Mop: Large, infinite, limited. Needs a water bucket.
- Damp Rag: Small, infinite, limited. Need to clean it after a few goes.

## About The Pull Request
Adds bubblegum wrappers, I was originally gonna make it a trash type for
gum but thought it would hide the feature since there's no indication
that they are in a wrapper (and you'd have to eat the entire gum to get
to it, which I don't think you can even do?), so instead bubblegum boxes
have 4 wrappers which each holds 1 piece of gum.
These wrappers can be grinded down for aluminium, or used in a crafting
recipe with a cell of any kind to make a makeshift match, you can ignite
it by using it in your hand (at the cost of minor burn damage).
Fixes the description for matches having 2 periods in them
Icon for the wrapper is a recolored version of ``janitor.dmi``'s floor
sign, while the match itself is the "crappy" cell with a codersprited
stick of gum coiled around it, with a copy paste of the regular match's
fire for the fire.
## Why It's Good For The Game
For years I've thought of how cool it would be to add makeshift
equipment that prisoners could make, this is a pretty harmless addition;
a source of aluminium and matches. Prisoners currently are incredibly
dependent on prison loot spawn, which kinda sucks, and this is also
reliant on prisoner loots, but at the very least it means getting more
use out of the lesser-useful items.
It would be nice to open up new ways to play Prisoner that don't involve
some form of prison breakout.

## About The Pull Request
This trainwreck of a PR is (hopefully) a final solution to all rendering
jank stemming from the new filter-based coloring system. I went over
every single instance of RESET_COLOR, either adding KEEP_APART or
rewriting them entirely so they render properly. I've also fixed blood
rendering issues by utilizing alpha filters and adding an abstract
"holder" appearance for worn items, which holds blood overlays on worn
clothing as to avoid coloring it. I've also fixed horrible
inconsistencies with atmos pipe coloring as a result (of getting sucked
down that rabbit hole) and converted all uses of COLOR_VERY_LIGHT_GRAY
in atmos code to ATMOS_COLOR_OMNI to avoid confusion.
MODsuit modules still get colored into MOD unit's color, need to
refactor their rendering for this.

Cleaned up an unnecessary proc on base crafting datum, fixed balloon
sutra-exclusive items being craftable by anyone, air sensors being only
craftable via search, crafters adding a second comma when failing to
craft something and missing capitalization in slapcrafting errors.

## About The Pull Request
Makes makeshift radio jammers craftable with:
1. Universal scanner
2. Headset encryption key (it doesn't steal the one from your headset
don't worry)
3. Cable coil
Makeshift radio jammers are the same as Syndicate ones, except with a
smaller active range (12 -> 5) and smaller disruptor range (7 -> 3)
Lowers the cost of radio jammers from 5 TC to 1 TC.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This is intended as a potentially overkill solution to the problem of
people shouting that they are being killed right away. Common is not
going away, but we need to do something to aide this style of gameplay
over going loud etc. By making radio jammers craftable, we allow all
antagonists to use this instead of just traitors.
## Changelog
🆑
add: You can now craft radio jammers.
balance: Radio jammers have had their cost lowered from 5 TC to 1 TC.

## About The Pull Request
Remember the overpriced, rare bomb core from the black market, the one
you can use to convert an area to pizza or plasma?
Looking back, I think I should've made it craftable with a dimensional
anomaly rather than simply lock it to the back market, that was a real
shame to its potential. Another thing, the power of the crafted
dimensional bomb core varies with the strength of the gibtonite and if
the grenade casings used are of large or advance release variants or
not.
Using low power gibtonite (deactivated too hastily) results in a radius
of 11 (not counting the epicenter) tiles, roughly 70% of what you would
get from the blackmarket core (17 tiles).
Using a medium power gibtonite results in a radius of 13, or 82% of 17.
Using two advanced/large grenades results in a radius of 15, 88% of 17.
Using high power gibtonite results in a radius equal to the bm standard.
Using both high power gibtonite and advanced/large grenades results in a
radius of 19, for a 11.5% increase from 17.
This is done so that using the anomaly to its fullest requires some
steps beside the refined core itself, kinda in line with other anomaly
tech but without filling the techweb with more clutter.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This gives an use to the dimensional anomaly core beside the reactive
armor and bounties. If it ever becomes problematic, it can be easily
tuned later.
## Changelog

add: You can now craft multi-dimensional payloads with dimensional
anomalies.

## About The Pull Request
The SKS was repathed to the bolt rifle subtype in order to make it not
eject its entire magazine, and to make it act more like its real
counterpart (e.g. you have to keep the bolt open/locked back in order to
load more ammo).
Also fixes the issue where bolt-actions' interaction blocking was
non-functional due to being moved to a different proc, so now you need
to open the bolt on bolt-actions (and now the SKS) to load ammo.)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ejecting your entire magazine on-use kind of sucked. The
bolt-open-to-load thing is for funsies.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: The Sakhno SKS no longer ejects its entire internal magazine upon
interaction. To facilitate this, it now requires the bolt to be open
like its bolt-action contemporaries in order to load ammunition.
fix: You can no longer force ammunition into Sakhno precision rifles and
other bolt-action-likes through a closed bolt.

## About The Pull Request
Replaces the asset subsystem's spritesheet generator with a rust-based
implementation (https://github.com/tgstation/rust-g/pull/160).
This is a rough port of
https://github.com/BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet/pull/10404, but it
includes fixes for some cases I didn't catch that apply on TG.
(FWIW we've been using this system on prod for over a year and
encountered no major issues.)
### TG MAINTAINER NOTE
### Batched Spritesheets
`/datum/asset/spritesheet_batched`: A version of the spritesheet system
that collects a list of `/datum/universal_icon`s and sends them off to
rustg asynchronously, and the generation also runs on another thread, so
the game doesn't block during realize_spritesheet. The rust generation
is about 10x faster when it comes to actual icon generation, but the
biggest perk of the batched spritesheets is the caching system.
This PR notably does not convert a few things to the new spritesheet
generator.
- Species and antagonist icons in the preferences view because they use
getFlatIcon ~~which can't be converted to universal icons~~.
- Yes, this is still a *massive* cost to init, unfortunately. On Bee, I
actually enabled the 'legacy' cache on prod and development, which you
can see in my PR. That's why I added the 'clear cache' verb and the
`unregister()` procs, because it can force a regeneration at runtime. I
decided not to port this, since I think it would be detrimental to the
large amount of contributors here.
- It is *technically* possible to port parts of this to the uni_icon
system by making a uni_icon version of getFlatIcon. However, some
overlays use runtime-generated icons which are ~~completely unparseable
to IconForge, since they're stored in the RSC and don't exist as files
anywhere~~. This is most noticeable with things like hair (which blend
additively with the hair mask on the server, thus making them invisible
to `get_flat_uni_icon`). It also doesn't help that species and antag
icons will still need to generate a bunch of dummies and delete them to
even verify cache validity.
- It is actually possible to write the RSC icons to the filesystem
(using fcopy) and reference them in IconForge. However, I'm going to
wait on doing this until I port my GAGS implementation because it
requires GAGS to exist on the filesystem as well.
#### Caching
IconForge generates a cache based on the set of icons used, all
transform operations applied, and the source DMIs of each icon used
within the spritesheet. It can compare the hashes and invalidate the
cache automatically if any of these change. This means we can enable
caching on development, and have absolutely no downsides, because if
anything changes, the cache invalidates itself.
The caching has a mean cost of ~5ms and saves a lot of time compared to
generating the spritesheet, even with rust's faster generation. The main
downside is that the cache still requires building the list of icons and
their transforms, then json encoding it to send to rustg.
Here's an abbreviated example of a cache JSON. All of these need to
match for the cache to be valid. `input_hash` contains the transform
definitions for all the sprites in the spritesheet, so if the input to
iconforge changes, that hash catches it. The `sizes` and `sprites` are
loaded into DM.
```json
{
"input_hash": "99f1bc67d590e000",
"dmi_hashes": {
"icons/ui/achievements/achievements.dmi": "771200c75da11c62"
},
"sizes": [
"76x76"
],
"sprites": {
"achievement-rustascend": {
"size_id": "76x76",
"position": 1
}
},
"rustg_version": "3.6.0",
"dm_version": 1
}
```
### Universal Icons
Universal icons are just a collection of DMI, Icon State, and any icon
transformation procs you apply (blends, crops, scales). They can be
convered to DM icons via `to_icon()`. I've included an implementation of
GAGS that produces universal icons, allowing GAGS items to be converted
into them. IconForge can read universal icons and add them to
spritesheets. It's basically just a wrapper that reimplements BYOND icon
procs.
### Other Stuff
Converts some uses of md5asfile within legacy spritesheets to use
rustg_hash_file instead, improving the performance of their generation.
Fixes lizard body markings not showing in previews, and re-adds eyes to
the ethereal color preview. This is a side effect of IconForge having
*much* better error handling than DM icon procs. Invalid stuff that gets
passed around will error instead of silently doing nothing.
Changes the CSS used in legacy spritesheet generation to split
`background: url(...) no-repeat` into separate props. This is necessary
for WebView2, as IE treats these properties differently - adding
`background-color` to an icon object (as seen in the R&D console) won't
work if you don't split these out.
Deletes unused spritesheets and their associated icons (condiments
spritesheet, old PDA spritesheet)
## Why It's Good For The Game
If you press "Character Setup", the 10-13sec of lag is now approximately
0.5-2 seconds.
Tracy profile showing the time spent on get_asset_datum. I pressed the
preferences button during init on both branches. Do note that this was
ran with a smart cache HIT, so no generation occurred.
Much lower worst-case for /datum/asset/New (which includes
`create_spritesheets()` and `register()`)
Here's a look at the internal costs from rustg - as you can see
`generate_spritesheet()` is very fast:

**After**

## About The Pull Request
This incredibly detailed PR adds the ability to construct custom
shuttles, which function similarly to whiteships.
To construct a custom shuttle, you need the following items:
- Shuttle frame rods
These rods can be hand-crafted by using 5 rods on 1 sheet of titanium,
or printed at a sci/engi/cargo lathe after researching the Shuttle
Engineering techweb node.
Lattices built with these rods, and catwalks/floors built on top of
these lattices, are valid for shuttle construction.
- Shuttle engines
Did you know shuttle engines have boards that weren't normally
obtainable? Well the board for one specific engine type is now available
from the sci/engi/cargo lathe after researching Shuttle Engineering. Of
course, the old options remain. You can steal engines from other
shuttles, including escape pods (it's not like engines are strictly
necessary for *those* shuttles anyways). Alternatively, the shuttle
engine supply pack is no longer locked behind the purchase of the BYOS.
- Flight Control & Navigation Console boards
These boards are printed at the sci/engi/cargo lathe after researching
the Shuttle Engineering techweb node.
If built on a custom shuttle, it will automatically link to it, unless
the shuttle already has such a console.
If built on a turf that is valid for custom shuttle construction, it
will automatically link to any shuttle constructed from or expanded with
that turf.
- Shuttle blueprints
Standard shuttle blueprints can be printed at the sci/engi/cargo lathe
after researching the Shuttle Engineering techweb node.
A cyborg upgrade granting access to a shuttle blueprint database can be
printed at the exofab after researching the aforementioned node.
Crude shuttle blueprints can be crafted by hand with a sheet of paper
and either a rainbow crayon or 10 uses of a blue crayon or spraycan.
If Science won't research the tech, you can also buy a goody pack
containing a flight control board, a docker board, two engine boards,
and a set of shuttle blueprints for 1200 credits, if you have aux base
access.
A shuttle can be constructed atop any continuous region of turfs
containing a shuttle rod lattice or a catwalk/tile built upon such.
Currently, this region cannot intersect any area other than space,
lavaland, the icemoon, or the station asteroid. Preexisting custom areas
can be included in the construction of the shuttle, but only if every
turf in the custom area is valid for shuttle construction.
In the shuttle blueprint UI, you can toggle a visualizer to display
which turfs fulfill all of the aforementioned conditions.
The following video goes through the basic process of shuttle
construction.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3283422e-a201-4978-972d-67527b5df4ee
The blueprint used to construct the shuttle will be its master
blueprint. The master blueprint can be copied to other blank shuttle
blueprints (or to engiborgs with the shuttle database upgrade), and
allows the holder to perform a christening ritual on the shuttle to
rename it.
If a shuttle's master blueprint ceases to exist, a blank blueprint can
be linked to the shuttle to become the new master blueprint, or an
existing blueprint associated with that shuttle can be promoted to the
master blueprint.
Once constructed, the following options are available from the blueprint
UI to modify it:
- Create Area
Convert a continuous open area of the shuttle into a new area with the
name written in the above text input. This operates very similarly to
regular area construction.
- Rename Area
Change the name of the area you're currently in to the name written in
the above text input.
- Expand Area
Add a continuous open area of the shuttle to the neighboring area
selected from the dropdown to the left. This operates like regular area
expansion.
- Expand Shuttle
Expand a shuttle with valid frame turfs as defined above. These turfs
must be physically connected to the shuttle.
- Remove Area
Remove an area, giving its tiles to the default shuttle area.
- Cleanup Empty Space (implemented after the above video was recorded)
Removes all completely empty turfs from the shuttle. If all the turfs in
one of the shuttle's areas were removed, that area is deleted. If
absolutely no turfs of the shuttle remain, the shuttle itself is
deleted. Due to the ability for this action to delete the shuttle, only
the master blueprint can do it.
As mentioned above, the shuttle's master blueprint can be used to
christen its associated shuttle. To do this, fill a glass drink bottle
with some amount of reagents, then hit it against one of the shuttle's
walls from outside while holding the master blueprint. You will be
prompted to enter a new name for the shuttle. The variety of things that
can happen while inputting a new name can cause the christening rite to
fail in one of several humorous ways.
### Optional (Unless specifically requested by a maintainer) Todo's
- [x] A way for shuttle circuits to be obtainable without techweb nodes
- [x] A more convenient way to carry around shuttle engines or the means
to deploy them
- [ ] A shuttle construction guide available as a reference book
- [ ] Allow boards to be linked to shuttles before construction so they
can be used outside the shuttle
## Why It's Good For The Game
Shuttles have been part of the sandbox for an incredibly long time, but
their limited accessibility has rendered them the exclusive territory of
lucky space explorers or the few antagonists who get one off the bat
(nukies and pirates). Giving players the means to construct shuttles to
their liking opens up a variety of possibilities for gimmicks for antags
and non-antags alike.
Besides the applications for antaggery and crew-sided gimmicks, this
provides side content for several departments to engage with during the
relatively-frequent periods of time where they have little else to do as
part of their intended roles.
With respect to engineering, if the station isn't actively being
damaged, the supermatter is in perfect working order, and nobody is
clamoring for machine upgrades, engineers have little else to resort to
other than construction projects. While the BSA station goal provides an
incentive for engineers to construct dedicated rooms for the cannon, it
will not necessarily be available every round. Custom shuttles not only
provide such a construction project to pursue, but provide the rare
opportunity, as well as a very good reason, to set up an independent
power network, complete with its own power source.
While atmos techs have a lot to do with gas mixing and the crystallizer,
they rarely get the opportunity to set up working life support systems
outside of repairing the ones that get blown up. Custom shuttles will
frequently start with no air, and unless the design settled upon is an
open floor plan, it will have several independent chambers that cannot
so easily be profused with a proper airmix by just opening a canister.
Furthermore, if the air in a custom shuttle gets messed up, a proper
scrubber and distro network is a significantly less tedious method of
rectifying the problem than cleaning the air manually with portable
scrubbers and pumps.
Scientists, it can be argued, with their access to RPDs through
ordnance, have similar opportunities to atmos techs, even though the act
in and of itself is not exactly part of their duties. But compared to
the other job content they could be working with after they've completed
most of their gameplay loop, custom shuttle construction is a
substantially more active endeavor. And I know how much people complain
about late-game science content just being sitting around at a console
and making gamer gear. Roboticists can have a part to play in this too.
They can put their mech RCDs to a use other than 2D topdown Fortnite,
and with the shuttle database upgrade, they can help interested cyborgs
get in on the action.
Cargo is yet another department known for having significant amounts of
downtime during a considerable number of rounds. If every other
department has gone through their initial rounds of departmental orders,
and there isn't an active need for cargo to order lots of one thing or
another, cargo techs have little to do besides mail (at least on the
days where there **is** mail to deliver). Usually, if cargo techs do, in
fact, do something as a department when not presented with more pressing
duties, they order guns and other contraband. As funny as this is,
there's not a lot of variety in how this behavior manifests. With custom
shuttles, cargo can use their free time to plan, and execute, a unique
collective expression of design sensibilities, not limited by the size
and shape constraints of the cargo bay itself.

## About The Pull Request
No. Not the Sakhno M2442 Army. It isn't the Sakhno Precision Rifle. I'm
talking about the dinky shitty rifle you find in the snow resort away
mission. The one with a 3 second cooldown between shots and fires 10mm.
The Sakhno SKS semi-automatic rifle fires at the same rate as standard
semi-automatic weapons, and fires .310 Strilka caseless rounds. It has a
x0.5 damage multiplier (so does 30 damage rather than 60 damage per
shot), and has 10 rounds in its internal magazine. Stripper clips come
in sets of 5, so you'll need two clips to fully load the rifle.
You can get the Chekhov version of the weapon from the resort, but you
can also acquire a parts kit from the black market. Put together with a
stock and receiver, you get yourself a (empty) fresh new SKS. You can
also acquire the ammo via the black market as well.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This gun is a travesty. It is so ancient that it can be carbon dated to
around when our codebase was moved to Github. It actively has the worst
statistic of any weapon in the game. And it exists in this strange
half-existence in a ruin as, I guess, some purpose that is barely
understood or remembered today.
The irony of it being called Chekhov's gun yet finding no functional use
in the map is either the joke itself, or a failing of the map.
Anyway, so I decided to go all out and replace it with an SKS. Because I
figured someone would like that.

## About The Pull Request
Pre-discussed with @Watermelon914, this PR removes Secondary & Final
Objectives from all Traitors, rather than just midround ones. It also
removes all of the surrounding supporting code.
Randomly assigned Primary Objectives still exist, I just used the
ability to rewrite mine to take the screenshot.
In terms of final objectives, the surrounding items that were available
still exist but don't necessarily have sources.
If anyone has good ideas for readding these in some other form it can be
done in future PRs.
It also allows all traitors to buy the Contractor kit, previously
limited to midround traitors which lacked secondary objectives, because
now all traitors lack secondary objectives.
This essentially limits all traitors to a maximum of 20 TC (16 if they
spawn with an uplink implant). Currently I don't foresee that they
strictly need any additional way of gaining TC during a round as 20 is
quite sufficient, but it may take some time to adjust and get used to it
after such a long time of having access to more. If we need to adjust
the starting value or add a slow drip of more points over time or
something, that can be done in followup PRs.
This also removes the ability to recreate your uplink added by my
beautiful wife in #74315
This was part of the progression traitor design document, but ultimately
probably a bad idea as it essentially made traitors impossible to
properly disarm. You will once more just need to carefully protect your
uplink.
**This does not remove the threat/progression system**.
Like midround traitors, all Reputation requirements on gear are now
simple timelocks, most of which will have elapsed by the time 30 minutes
have passed.
**Finally** this PR also adds Romerol to the traitor uplink for 25 TC
and 30 minutes of reputation, as a treat (and because I removed the
final objective that previously granted it).
## Why It's Good For The Game
We've tried this system for a long time (3 years last month!) and while
I think it had a lot of promise, enabled some cool moments, and also
solved several of the problems it set out to solve, overall I think some
of the behaviours it has encouraged in players have been overall
negative for the game.
While the _game systems_ are fine, even quite fun and cool (especially
final objectives) I am of the opinion that having them in the game
creates a net negative purely in the way that they react with players'
_brains_, creating incentives towards behaviour we don't actually want
people to pursue.
While it's hard-to-impossible to prove any of this with hard data, there
has been a prevailing feeling for some time among many (though certainly
not all) people that the simple fact of _having_ a constant drip-feed of
objective available to players leads directly to less interesting
antagonist play. While certainly nobody is _forced_ to do secondary
objectives you are directly and quite strongly rewarded for doing so,
doing so efficiently, and doing so in a way which makes sure that nobody
(alive) sees you do it. This leads to a tendency to play defensively and
try to maximise the number of tasks you can complete in one round, which
also has a knock-on effect of generally minimising the number of people
you attempt to interact with in a round (unless you are killing them).
Even people who _intend_ on doing some more interesting gimmick can fall
into this trap, as "having more tools" is always useful for anyone who
is intending on any kind of plan at all, but then executing on the
secondary objectives again incentivises you to lay low, not interact
with anyone, be efficient, and then reduces the time you are spending
doing the thing that's your actual plan for the round. Removing the
ever-present temptation to fish for extra TC leaves "doing whatever your
actual plan is" as the sole thing to optimise.
Final Objectives too have created unfortunate psychological effects
between crewsided players and other antagonists. Because of the _threat_
(no matter how remote, Final Objectives have always been tuned to be
appropriately rare) that leaving any antagonist alone will cause them to
snowball by acquiring more power, it starts to feel foolish to respond
to any threat with less than the maximum possible level of force even if
they seem relatively innocuous in the moment. This even has an effect on
other non-progression antagonists, as traitors are the most common
antagonist type and how people treat them is going to be their default
level of reaction to most other station threats.
While there has always been the promise of expanding the system with
novel and exciting objectives that leverage appearing mid-round to do
something unique, we've taken very little advantage of that over time.
Most objectives we have added that didn't boil down to "kill someone,
with a twist" have been somewhat unsuccessful, serving either as ways to
get yourself arrested and killed for no reason or ways to get free
telecrystals by doing something the crew don't really care about
stopping you from doing. The option still exists to add more roundstart
objectives to traitors, if someone suddenly has a great idea that would
fit in this space.
The ideal outcome of making this change is a slight relaxation of crew
attitude towards feeling like their only option after catching an
antagonist that isn't sandbagging is to permanently remove them from the
round (although it's fine to do this still in many scenarios), and a
broadening of traitorous activity which is not purely focused on
collecting as many checkboxes as possible and might give people more
time to roleplay with other players, not worrying that this time could
have been more efficiently spent pursuing a different secondary goal.
I don't anticipate or desire that this will prevent traitors from
killing anyone (or even stop them from killing people they don't have a
specific objective to kill), I just want to remove the FOMO from
people's minds.
Also this gives us something to talk about at the coder townhall meeting
on the 22nd.

## About The Pull Request
Misfire chance, gun jamming (currently only on boltaction rifles) and
integrity repairs are now handled by gun maintenance kits. Using a kit
on a gun resets any misfire chance or jamming, and restores the weapon's
integrity back to full.
You can find gun maintenance kits in security equipment vendors, or
order a crate of them from cargo.
You can also make a maint version to retain the improvised nature of the
previous cleaning functionaltiy.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Firstly, clearing misfires was always a little confusing for most
players, as it required a bolt of cloth to fix. That's really on me for
making that as confusing as possible.
We ended up with multiple firearm degradation mechanics, so
consolidating their restoration makes it easier for future code
maintenance.
I disliked that the kits existed but were mostly only for the sake of an
extremely niche interaction. And that interaction was, at best, kind of
niche. Expanding out their use to gun maintenance generally is honestly
better design.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Gun maintenance is now consolidated into a single item, the
gun maintenance kit, rather than multiple different item interactions.
It is handled on the maintenance kit itself, and not in gun code.
qol: You can order maintenance kits from cargo, and get some out of the
security equipment vendor. Helpful if someone spilled acid onto your
disabler. You can also make a makeshift one from maintenance trash.

* Tiny equip E is gone - Drop action has been moved in its place,
freeing some space in the bottom right corner
* Four minor menu keys have been bundled with actions, now-vertical
floor change element taking their place
* Action palette (wide thing in the top left corner) is now hidden when
it has zero actions bound to it and the player isn't currently dragging
an action button.
I've also fixed some minor issues with how hand elements are rendered,
and given feedback to resist button (it now lights up when pressed or

## Why It's Good For The Game
Our UI icons are very outdated and compressed, with very large palettes
and odd transparency quirks, making adding new elements or redesigning
current ones quite hard and frustrating. A fresh coat of paint can take
user experience a long way.
As for moved elements, most people either equip things manually or use
the equip hotkey - E button is rather obscure and rarely used, while
drop button makes sense to be located near hands. Action palette just
takes up screen space most of the time, so there's no reason to not hide
it when you don't have any use for it.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: Resist button now has visible feedback.
qol: Readjusted UI layout.

## About The Pull Request
ok idk how to structure this but
basically the crafter (assembling machine) crafts stuff on top of it now
again items created by the crafter are tracked and will be attempted to
sent forward at once everytime it processes or crafts
this means junk shells and lizard boot recipes work
additionally, you can no longer have it craft initially anchored
objects. this was already a thing the check just never worked
also fixed some dumb define stuff and i made it call recipe completion
## Why It's Good For The Game
fixes#87876
the MANUFACTURING_FAIL_FULL define was basically just useless and if
statements thinks its a true value which makes certain things harder to
read
pockets defines got left in by accident because i tried to rework it at
some point (spoiler: did not work)
## Changelog
🆑
fix: manufacturing assembling machine crafts junk shells and lizard
boots properly, may no longer craft anchored objects (broken check), and
sends its crafted stuff at once

## About The Pull Request
I've been meaning to do this for some time. I need this for
portable/handheld aquariums/fishtanks to be possible. I'll sprite and
code them before I call this PR ready, however suggestions and code
reviews are welcome in the meantime.
Being a pretty heavy refactor, some things might break (we have more
than a few unit tests so perhaps not) while others, coincidentally,
might be fixed without me knowing. Anyway I'm sure this PR fixes
aquarium beauty, which wasn't really working to begin with because the
code was so fucking bad. Nothing really worth of a CL entry tho.
TODO:
- [x] handheld aquariums, craftable with a kit and little plastic or
buyable from the fun vendor ig.
- [x] an aquarium upgrade for handheld aquariums to bypass possible
restrictions.
- [x] update the beauty element to consider items, which shouldn't
contribute to the area beauty when held or otherwise not on a turf.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This should make handheld aquariums possible.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: refactored aquariums heavily. Please report any fishy bug.
add: Added portable/handheld fish tanks to the game. They can be crafted
with an aquarium kit and 5 sheets of plastic. While portable, they
cannot store fish that are too big or if there're too many already. This
restriction can be removed by using the new "bluespace fish tank kit"
techweb item.
map: Replaced the lawyer's stationary pet aquarium with a fish tank, so
you can carry McGill around.
balance: Reduced the iron cost of stationary aquariums a little.

## 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

my really poor code kept shitting itself so lets just make it avoid any
of the issues by just not doing it
