## About The Pull Request
Melee attack chain now has a list passed along with it,
`attack_modifiers`, which you can stick force modifiers to change the
resulting attack
This is basically a soft implementation of damage packets until a more
definitive pr, but one that only applies to item attack chain, and not
unarmed attacks.
This change was done to facilitate a baton refactor - batons no longer
hack together their own attack chain, and are now integrated straight
into the real attack chain. This refactor itself was done because batons
don't send any attack signals, which has been annoying in the past (for
swing combat).
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Batons have been refactored again. Baton stuns now properly
count as an attack, when before it was a nothing. Report any oddities,
particularly in regards to harmbatonning vs normal batonning.
refactor: The method of adjusting item damage mid-attack has been
refactored - some affected items include the Nullblade and knives.
Report any strange happenings with damage numbers.
refactor: A few objects have been moved to the new interaction chain -
records consoles, mawed crucible, alien weeds and space vines, hedges,
restaurant portals, and some mobs - to name a few.
fix: Spears only deal bonus damage against secure lockers, not all
closet types (including crates)

## About The Pull Request
People can now pet held mothroaches and pugs if they want to, or use
items on them, hopefully without causing many issues. After all, it only
took about a couple dozen lines of code to make...
...Oh, did the 527 files changed or the 850~ lines added/removed perhaps
catch your eye? Made you wonder if I accidentally pushed the wrong
branch? or skewed something up big time? Well, nuh uh. I just happen to
be fed up with the melee attack chain still using stringized params
instead of an array/list. It was frankly revolting to see how I'd have
had to otherwise call `list2params` for what I'm trying to accomplish
here, and make this PR another tessera to the immense stupidity of our
attack chain procs calling `params2list` over and over and over instead
of just using that one call instance from `ClickOn` as an argument. It's
2025, honey, wake up!
I also tried to replace some of those single letter vars/args but there
are just way too many of them.

## About The Pull Request
Over half of the line changes are merely from splitting the
fish_types.dm into several files since it was over 1k lines already.
One of the small issues with fishing right now is RNG. You want to get
some specific fish, and you go through all the micromanaging with hooks,
reels and baits only for the random number god to say "nope", and that's
only going to get worse the more fish are in the game.
However, I've a solution: (unconsumable/reusable) fishing lures, each of
which attracts different fish based on different conditions. The only
caveat is that they require to be spun at set intervals (usually 1 to 3
seconds, depending on the lure, with a second-long window). Worry not,
there're visual cues in the form of a green/red light hovering the
fishing float, so you won't get screwed up by the server slowing down or
whatever.
The whole box of lures (12 so far) can be from cargo for the fair price
of 450 credits.
I've also added 5 new fish: monkfish, plaice, pike, another punnier
variant of the pike, perch and squid. The latter is quite special
because of the ink production trait, which lets players use it to blind
others at a close range and when butchered, it yields an ink sac, which
can be processed into a can of squid ink (one less item exclusive to the
produce console), or thrown at people in a sort-of-similar fashion of
banana cream pies (except it's ink).

A few more things in the CL, baitfish are a thing now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
There should be ways to contrast some of the RNG fishing has. After all,
it's only going to get more random the more fish are in the game.
Furthermore, I find it disappointing that a lot of food stuff is
exclusive to the ingredients console and there're no other ways to get
it.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added fishing lures to the game. They don't get used up like baits
and let you catch specific kinds of fish, though they need to be spun
every few seconds. The whole set can be ordered from cargo for 450
credits.
balance: The magnet hook now removes dud chances.
add: Added five new fish types: perch, two types of pike, monkfish,
plaice and squid. Squids have a fairly special ink production trait,
which lets you use them (unless dead) to ink people face at close range,
and can be butchered for an ink sac, which can either be processed into
canned squid ink, or thrown at someone.
fix: Refactored throwing a little. Some items (specifically
components/elements) won't be triggered when caught. no more plates
shattering despite being caught for example.
add: Goldfish, lavaloops, needlefish and armorfish can now be used as
baits.

I also added a linter to enforce this (and prevent all forms of
regression) because I think that machines should do the menial work and
we shouldn't expect maintainers to remember this, let me know if you

## About The Pull Request
Instead of choosing 2-3 brothers, *one* person will be selected and
given a flash which can convert one other person over. In accordance to
the existing 10% chance for 3 members, there is a 10% chance that the
first person converted will receive a flash of their own.
Expectation is people will flash a friend or a robust guy or whatever.
My intent is primarily to see if this kind of blood brothers is more
enjoyable to play with/against, and if their inclusion in a round
increases the general chaos of it. My theory is that since most likely
blood brothers will be people who know each other, that it can become
more consistently interesting to the rest of the crew. That or they just
murderbone together idk
Fikou and head admins said they wanted this to replace rather than add
which I agree with.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Keeps the sandboxy aspect of blood brothers (no uplink) while likely
making it more enjoyable to play. Conversion is equally as simple as
revs for the user, and is just as intuitive to the one being converted
since there are no new mechanics thrown in your face.
Blood brothers is currently disabled everywhere on the main servers
except for MRP. I think this form will be more appealing to all
rulesets. If left enabled, Dynamic now has more antagonists to make
rounds diverse with and I want that

add: Instead of teaming up random people together, blood brothers will
now start out with one player and let them convert a single other person

## About The Pull Request
Now we can make basic mobs with hands easily so I did, they don't
actually use their hands for anything with AI.
In the future we can come back and share the monkey AI where they pick
up items to hit people with, but frankly few weapons are more deadly
than a gorilla's fists.
IIRC I didn't really change their behaviour much, this is mostly just a
straight conversion. Main difference is that they will prioritise eating
nearby bananas and fruit salads over punching people.
When I make these conversions nowadays I need to decide between "does
this attack at the speed that it did as an NPC mob or the speed it did
as a player?"
I am arbitrarily deciding that gorillas are usually not players and
electing for the former, but tell me if you disagree.
I also made "show basic inhand sprites" into a component shared by
Gorillas, Drones, and Dextrous Guardians (all also now available to
become basic, once I get around to it),
And I added an AI behaviour to run a basic emote. This is similar but
different to "random speech", which kind of sucks and needs rewriting
anyway.
Gorillas don't speak, only ooga.

## About The Pull Request
I remembered today that blob code is ass, especially blob spores.
There's still a lot to improve but I cleaned up _some_ of it by
converting these mobs.
Now they use a newer framework and more signal handling as compared to
circular references.
I _expect_ the behaviour here to largely be the same as it was or
similar. I haven't added anything fancy or new.
This is a reasonably big PR but at least all of the files are small?
Everything here touched every other thing enough that it didnt make
sense to split up sorry.
Other things I did in code:
- Experimented with replacing the `mob/blob` subtype with a component.
Don't know if this is genius or stupid.
- AI subtree which just walks somewhere. We've used this behaviour a lot
but never given it its own subtree.
- Blob Spores and Zombies are two different mobs now instead of being
one mob which just changes every single one of its properties.
- Made a few living defence procs call super, because the only thing
super does was send a signal and we weren't doing that for no reason.
Also added a couple extra signals for intercepts we did not have.

fix: Blob spores will respond to rallies more reliably (it won't runtime
every time they try and pathfind).

## About The Pull Request
Instead of a supernatural phobia, sacrificed people will now get a
HERESY phobia, which specifically targets heretic stuff, instead of all
of magic. Other heretics, however, do not get this, but instead get
knowledge points sapped from them, as their mind is ruined in a
different way than normal people. This comes with different flavour text
and a harsher but shorter lasting mood debuff. Also fixes some
"knowlege" code typos and places the star gazer and fire shark all in
under heretic_summon

Heretics, Wizards, Chaplains and Cultists will now be able to keep
playing the game after getting sacrificed without overdosing on
psicodine, while still retaining the phobia's original design purpose.

as they share a lot of values. typos bad.

## About The Pull Request
This one is a double feature because Watchers and Basilisks share the
same typepath. You might see a couple more of those.
As is tradition I decided to fuck with them rather than just port them.
Here's what's up.
**Basilisks**


- Have a new soulless sprite which looks less like a living blue hedge.
- Walk at you and shoot you while you are not in range (just like
before).
- Become supercharged if they become "heated" by lava, lasers, or
temperature weapons. This was a feature they also previously had but
they would never encounter lava, so now it also works if you use the
wrong gun on them.
- Lose their supercharge if you cool them down.
- Otherwise pretty normal mobs.
**Watchers**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOq_Bf78k5A
Here's a traditional video of me intentionally getting hit by mechanics
(trust me its definitely on purpose)
- They glow emmissively a little bit so you can see them from further
away.
- Their eyes light up about 0.5 seconds before they are able to shoot at
you.
- No longer melee attack, instead try to stay out of melee.
- Will occasionally put you into "Overwatch", meaning they will shoot
you rapidly if you move or act while they're staring at you for a brief
time period (after which you become immune for 12 seconds, and during
which other watchers will play fair and stop shooting at you).
- If they start taking damage they will also start using their "Gaze"
attack, look away or suffer some kind of negative effect!
- - Normal watcher gaze flashes and confuses you.
- - Magmawing watcher gaze obviously burns (and briefly stuns) you.
- - Icewing watcher gaze freezes you and throws you backwards.
- Magnetically attract and eat diamonds. They also used to do this, but
just if they happened to coincidentally walk past some.
**Other accompanying changes**
All basic mobs will now adopt the "stop gliding" trait if they get
slowed down too much.
I moved behaviour for "fire a projectile from this atom" into a helper
proc because I was using it in three places and I will probably use it
in more places. There are probably other places in the existing code
which could be using this.
I think I made the basic mob melee attack forecast default a little more
forgiving, they were fucking me up too much and I am the playtester.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Another one off the list.
New tricks for old dogs.
Framework for making mobs with ranged attacks "fairer" (you can see when
they are ready to shoot you).
More (hopefully) versatile AI behaviours which we will reuse later (I
hope I'm not duplicating one someone already made).
If our players "enjoy" them enough we can give more mobs "don't look at
me" mechanics.
Removes some soul sprites.
## Changelog
🆑

bug report any unusual behaviour.

## About The Pull Request
I was bored, so did this. Probably one of the neatest refactors I've
done, sorry if there's some oddities because I was experimenting with
some other stuff in this so just tell me to clean them up whenever I
can.
Anyways, morphs are basic mobs now. We are able to easily refactor the
whole "eat items and corpses" stuff in the basic mob framework, but the
whole "morph into objects and people" turned out to be a bit trickier.
That was easily rectified with a datum mob cooldown action and
copy-pasting the old code into that code, as well as doing some nice
stuff with traits and signals to ensure the one-way communication from
the action to the mob.
Old Morph AI didn't seem to be existant whatsoever, they inappropriately
leveraged some old procs and I have no idea how to make it work with new
AI. They DEFINITELY don't spawn outside of admin interference/ the event
anymore, and will always be controlled by a player, so this shouldn't be
too bad of an issue. I gave them something to seem alive just in case
though, but I think adding legitimate prop-hunt AI would be such a
laborious task that I am unwilling to do it in this PR.
## Why It's Good For The Game
If admins want to add the ability for Ian to assume the form of the HoP,
they can do that now! The datum action cooldown is quite nice for simple
and basic mobs... but it is currently not compatible with carbons. That
is not within scope for this PR, but I am dwelling on ways to extend it
to carbon but they all sound really awfully bad.
Also morphs are smarter, and we tick another simple animal in need of
refactoring off the list.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Morphs are now basic mobs with a nice new ability to help you
change forms rather than the old shift-click method, much more
intuitive.
admin: With the morph rework comes a new ability you can add to mobs,
"Assume Form". Feel free to add that to any simple or basic mob for le
funnies as Runtime turns into a pen or something.
/🆑
~~Does anyone know if there's a (sane) way to alias a cooldown action as
a keypress? I can't think of a good way to retain the old shift-click
functionality, because that does feel _kinda_ nice, but I think it can
be lived without.~~ I added it. Kinda fugly but whatever.
## About The Pull Request
Fixes#77501
Spider egg ghost role spawners grant the spider antag datum, rather than
the act of being a spider.
This means that gold core, mapstart, polymorph belt, and other spiders
will not have an antagonist datum.
While doing this I also made a new abstract `mob/living/basic/spider`
type which all three kinds of spider life stage (`spiderling`, `young`,
`giant`) extend from, because there was a gross amount of copied code.
Now there isn't.
Also the Flesh Spider and Event Midwife eggs now simply hatch adult
spiders instead of child ones.
This is because there is no reason for either of these to have a two
minute wait time before they get going. Midwife spiders spawned by the
event should just start spidering immediately, and Flesh Spiders are
made by changelings and shouldn't be effected by measures introduced to
balance the spider gamemode.
Eggs which are laid during a round and _can_ hatch into midwife spiders
still hatch baby spiders.
Also I swapped some white pixels on the animation of the ambush
spiderling for a different colour because they looked bad.
## Why It's Good For The Game
While the policy is always "if you turn yourself into something, you're
not an antagonist" the presence of the antag datum still confuses
people. Plus that code was gross and I didn't like it.

## About The Pull Request
Converts Goliaths to the basic mob framework and gives them some new
moves because I can't leave things well enough alone.
I am planning on touching all the lavaland fauna and then maybe even the
icebox ones if I haven't got bored. The Golaith is the first because it
is iconic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNcKvMwT4-Q
Here's me getting killed by one as a demonstration. Despite my poor
performance I would contend that they aren't a _lot_ more dangerous, but
they are a little more dangerous.
The chief difference here is that they have two new attacks which they
will only use in response to being attacked.
If fired at from range, they will target the attacker with a line of
tentacles (it doesn't track you, so is easily sidestepped).
If attacked in melee, they will surround _themselves_ with tentacles, on
a longer cooldown.
Something else you may notice in this video: I discovered that basic
mobs are actually _too smart_ to be Lavaland fauna.
Typically (unlike their old form) a mob on our new AI system is smart
enough to attack someone _the moment they come into range_ rather than
only checking on predictable ticks, which would make using the Crusher
an essentially unviable prospect.
To counteract this, Goliaths now have a delayed attack component which
gives you a visual warning and short duration to get out of range before
they swing at you. I will probably put this on all mining fauna that get
reworked, it wouldn't be a terrible thing to put on other mobs to be
honest.
Other changes: The goliath stun is now a status effect with _buckles_
you to the tentacle as if grabbed, as well as its previous effects.
While this seems purely worse, any nearby helpers can now help-click on
you to instantly remove the debuff.
Experiencing the effect of a Lobstrosity Rush Gland makes you immune to
being grabbed by tentacles and an implanted one will automatically
trigger and free you if you are hit, and the explosive effect of
Brimdust also causes the tentacle to retract (although you'd need to
take damage for this to happen). Using the tools of the land, you can
make these creatures less threatening.
The ability for a Goliath to chain-apply the ability has now also been
reduced, it won't refresh its duration if you are hit when already
buckled.
When not occupied hounding miners, Goliaths will intermittently dig up
the asteroid sand and eat any worms that this produces.
I also made some new sprites for riding a Goliath because they've been
broken since the Lavaland mob update and also kind of were ugly before
then anyway:

Other code changes:
- I made an element which only lets an attached object move every x
seconds. This is because Goliaths are far too slow to use the speed
system (the glide just looks bugged as hell) but one thing I am invested
in when converting these is to make sure that they share the same
behaviour when player or AI controlled. This is disabled while you're
riding them because it was interminably slow.
- The Goliath tentacle trail uses a supertype object now shared with the
Meteor Heart which did something kind of similar.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It begins the process of moving one of our larger subsets of NPCs onto
the newer framework for NPC behaviour.
It adds a little bit more life to an iconic but slightly uninteresting
foe which mostly just walked at you slowly.
This PR contains a few components I expect to apply more widely to other
mobs in the future.
## Changelog
🆑

unusual behaviour.
add: Goliaths learned a couple of new attacks which they will use in
self-defence.

scavenge from around Lavaland.

As the title says, foxes are now basic mobs.
Foxes have a few new behaviors now, rather than the zero behaviors they
had before. Foxes, being very skittish animals, will flee from anything
that damages them. Additionally, they now have hunting behavior,
tracking down and killing anything of their size or smaller - regardless
of faction. They will not, however, hunt as long as someone is watching
them - which is to say, if any living humans are within 7 tiles of them.
Don't leave a fox and a chicken together while you're transporting your
grain to Lavaland! Also, make sure you don't leave Renault and Ian on
their play date unsupervised...

## Why It's Good For The Game
Gets rid of another simple animal. We grow ever closer to ascension.

## About The Pull Request
So you're telling me we have a smoker quirk and we DON'T have an
alcoholic quirk?
What a travesty! Time to fix that.
This quirk is essentially equivalent to smoker, but instead of a
favorite brand you get a favorite *brandy* (as in, favorite type of
booze).

## Why It's Good For The Game
More quirk variety with decent roleplay value.
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added Alcoholic as a negative quirk.

## About The Pull Request
Short and simple, just converts the changeling's headslug (that ability
they get that lets them infest another body) into a basic mob. Also
touches up some of the code, as well as split up the code such that the
headslug resides in the basic mobs folder, while the eggs are in the
changeling's antagonist folder, rather than one megafile for both.
No AI because this is 100% a player-controlled mob, it never exists in
any other context. No UpdatePaths for the same reason as well, this
shouldn't (and really doesn't) exist on maps because its sole purpose is
player-driven.
<!-- Describe The Pull Request. Please be sure every change is
documented or this can delay review and even discourage maintainers from
merging your PR! -->
## Why It's Good For The Game
Knocks another one off the list, potentially clears up some janky code
with how this operated and just beautifies it overall. I also
standardized the name "headslug" in any applicable context because the
name "headcrab" is quite confusing. Some other code still refers to it
as headcrab/crab, but that's whatever, at least the paths are a-okay
now.
Also opens the door in case someone really wants these to be AI-powered?
That sounds really weird and I don't really support that idea, but it's
indeed possible.

Grow and regrow, the life cycle.

corpses all the time, and examining will let you know what type. Should

## About The Pull Request
On the tin. They have pretty much nothing in common with chickens, so no
subtyping. They are in the same folder to keep that whole thing tidy,
though.
Also includes fixes to `growth_and_differentiation` element that I made
for spiderlings, since some stuff was yorked without me realizing. It
pretty much worked flawlessly for these chicks otherwise though. It all
works fine now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More verbose naming scheme (instead of "holo", we get "permanent"
chicks), smarter AI for chicks, knocks them off the list, etc. etc.
One thing that I wanted to do was to have chicks recognize their mother
(if they had one), but that would be way out of scope for this simple
port PR. I'll dwell on adding something cool for that in the future.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Chicks are now a bit smarter, be careful not to squish them!

## About The Pull Request
Converts all logging, excluding perf and investigate, to json.
I focused on making the system as easy to use and as easy to add new
categories as possible.
Due to issues related to logging to world at global creation logger is
now a byond real, which is created directly before Master
Log categories support versioning, secret flagging, and sub-category
filtering. Although all of this is entirely optional for coders.
If you ever want to add a new category and use it, all you need to do is
make the barebones category datum and the define.
I've kept existing procs such as log_game, and simply turned them into a
wrapper for Logger.Log(xxx, ...)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes processing and filtering logs much easier in the future, while
only minimally downgrading log crawling experience.
I am also working on a log viewer frontend for admin usage however that
will take a little bit longer to finish up.
Also makes special logging and data tracking much easier thanks to a
data list processing implementation and handling

Just another lightweight PR porting over a simple animal to the basic
mob framework with zero additional AI implementation (it's a killer
tomato- it spawns into the world to maul you. how much more intricate
does it need to be?).
This was pretty simple since they didn't have too much custom behavior,
and whatever they did have already had AI behavior. I got really burned
out the last two times I wrote intricate AI action/decision behaviors so
I'm just taking it light and doing the bare minimum.
one day our shackles will be free of the simple animal scourge. they're
also a bit more intelligent, and i daresay a bit cuter too now.
also that lizard gib animation has been sitting there for god knows how
long completely unseen, so let's actually hook it into the mob.
## About The Pull Request
Turns Space Bats into a basic mob, why not.
I also noticed some retaliate mobs weren't in the retaliate folder, and
moved them over. I didn't move goats over because they're in a large
file and didn't want to really expand much on this PR that I just wanted
to focus on just bats.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I was just messing around with some bat stuff and thought I might as
well make them basic mobs.

Paradox clones spawn with a "quick copy" of their target's memories.

## About The Pull Request
This PR converts giant spiders into basic mobs and resultingly fixes
#37793
They _should_ have the same behaviour as their simple mob versions
although I can't verify that their movement speeds are _exactly_ the
same. It should at least be pretty close.
A quirk of spiders is that they had a pretty large `move_to_delay` which
made them slow in the hands of AI (because it would just pause for ages
between taking steps) and faster in the hands of players, and they often
appear in both forms so I had to implement this as a speed modifier
based on player control.
Additionally this is the first basic mob which can be set on fire.
This is currently implemented as a var on `mob/living/basic` but I know
there was some annoyance at adding the environment tolerances as vars on
there so if desired I can try and extract it out, I'm just not sure how
easy it will be.
Something else I noticed is that spiders seem to take stamina damage
from bug spray... but stamina damage does nothing to either simple _or_
basic mobs. I have left it in for now in case I am missing something,
and rebalancing it to do something else would be more like a balance
change.
Oh also I killed the `mob/basic/retaliate` folder because that isn't a
classification that needs to exist or makes sense.
## Why It's Good For The Game
We don't want to use simple mobs any more.
Sergeant Araneus can finally actually be a spider, instead of being a
bat.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Spider code has been refactored and AI-controlled spiders may
have slightly different movement or reaction times.
fix: Basic mobs can now be slowed when they take stamina damage, however
currently only spiders actually _can_ take stamina damage.
fix: Spiders should now more reliably disable their AI when controlled
by a player.
fix: Araneus is no longer considered to be a bat and so cannot fly.
fix: Araneus is no longer considered to be a bat and so is no longer

## About The Pull Request
So, a huge issue with memories and - what I personally believe is the
reason why not many have been added since their inception is - they're
very annoying to add!
Normally, adding subtypes of stuff like traumas or hallucinations are as
easy as doing just that, adding a subtype.
But memories used this factory argument passing method combined with
holding all their strings in a JSON file which made it just frustrating
to add, debug, or just mess with.
It also made it much harder to organize new memories keep it clean for
stuff like downstreams.
So I refactored it. Memories are now handled on a subtype by subtype
basis, instead of all memories being a `/datum/memory`.
Any variety of arguments can be passed into memories like addcomponent
(KWARGS) so each subtype can have their own `new` parameters.
This makes it much much easier to add a new memory. All you need to do
is make your subtype and add it somewhere. Don't need to mess with jsons
or defines or anything.
To demonstrate this, I added a few memories. Some existing memories had
their story values tweak to compensate.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes it way simpler to add new memories. Maybe we'll get some more fun
ones now?
## Changelog

add: Roundstart captains will now memorize the code to the spare ID
safe.

add: Heads of staff and head revolutionaries who lose their respective
sides of the revolution also get a memory of their failure.
add: Completing a ritual of knowledge as a heretic grants you a quality
memory.
add: Successfully defusing a bomb now grants you a cool memory. Failing
it will also grant you a memory, though you will likely not be alive to
see it.
add: Planting bombs now increase their memory quality depending on how
cool the bomb is.

## About The Pull Request
Wow we're finally here. This turns carp into Basic Mobs instead of
Simple Animals.
They use a variety of behaviours added in previous PRs to act in a
marginally more interesting way than they used to.
But don't worry there's still 2 or 3 PRs to follow this one until I'm
done with space fish.
Changes in this PR:
Carp will try to run away if they get below 50% health, to make use of
their "regenerate if not attacked" component.
Magicarp have different targetting behaviour for spells depending on
their spell;
- Ressurecting Carp will try to ressurect allied mobs.
- Animating Carp will try to animate nearby objects.
- Door-creating Carp will try to turn nearby walls into doors.
You can order Magicarp to cast their spell on something if you happen to
manage to tame one.
The eating element now has support for "getting hurt" when you eat
something. Carp eating can rings and hating it was too soulful not to
continue supporting.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Carp are iconic beasts and I think they should be more interesting.
Also we just want to turn mobs into basic mobs anyway.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Carp will now run away if their health gets low, meaning they may
have a chance to regenerate.
add: Lia will now fight back if attacked instead of letting herself get
killed, watch out!
balance: Magicarp will now aim their spells more intelligently.
add: Tame Magicarp can be ordered to use their spells on things.
refactor: Carp are now "Basic Mobs" instead of "Simple Mobs"
fix: Dehydrated carp no longer give you a bad feeling when they're your
friend and a good feeling when they're going to attack you.
balance: Tamed carp are now friendly only to their tamer rather than
their whole faction, which should make dehydrated carp more active.
Order them to stay or follow you if you want them to behave around your
friends.

About The Pull Request
Made a basic version of the pet base called /mob/living/basic/pet. It's significantly more stripped down from the old simple_animal one, because its half collar stuff and...
Made the collar slot a component that you could theoretically remove from a pet to disable the behavior, or add to any other living mob as long as you set up the icon states for the collar (or not, the visuals are optional).
The corgi's collar strippable slot is now generally the pet collar slot, and in theory could be used for other pet stripping screens.
I also gutted the extra access card code from /mob/living/basic/pet as it's only being used by corgis. Having a physical ID is now just inherent to corgis, as they're the only ones that could equip it anyway.
Ported the make_babies() function from simple_animals to a new subtree and associated behavior, called /datum/ai_planning_subtree/make_babies that uses blackboards to know the animal-specific info.
Note that it's marginally improved, as the female walks to the male first instead of bluespace reproduction.
Tweaked and improved the dog AI to work as a basic mob, including making /datum/idle_behavior/idle_dog fully functional.
Made a /datum/ai_planning_subtree/random_speech/dog that pulls the dynamic speech and emotes to support dog fashion.
I've tested base collars across multiple pet types.
For dogs, I've tested general behavior, fetching, reproduction, dog fashion, and deadchat_plays, covering all the oddities I'm aware of.

Adds third kitchen craftable animal - Kobun the bread dog. Currently we have Keeki the cak and Terrygold the butter bear. Keeki is best friend of sec due to frosting and Terrygold seems like second clown with its slips, Kobun is designed as help to Psychologist due to powerfull mood aura. Mood granted by aura stays as long as you are within range of aura and when you step out is expires in 10 seconds. You can trade mood aura for a possibility of wearing Kobun as hat
We already have two crafting animals, one made out of cake and another out of butter so why not add another one made out bread? Kobun was made to help people with low mood by giving it mood aura that will bring them back onto their feets
