## Why It's Good For The Game
The oft-controversial ling MMI test has been brought up time and time
again so I figure I throw my cards in for a solution.
We want as few ways as possible for people to hard and fast discover
whether someone is an antag, especially changling which is supposed to
revel in paranoia. This soft-patches out a big way, the MMI test, in
which you place a ling's brain in an MMI to determine if it's vestigial
and therefore, a ling.
Now the ling player can provide some benefit of the doubt by speaking
through the brain as normal, appearing active while actually in their
body still.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#71330
The brimdemon was basically already perfect (well, it has a novel means
of attacking) so I didn't get too fancy with this one, it's _largely_
just a straightforward conversion.
Following this change it's a little slower to back off, but better at
lining up with people in order to blast them. Additionally, its beam is
now a mob ability so you can give it to other mobs if you so desire.
Because I can't help doing a _little_ tinkering, Brimdemons now explode
2.5 seconds after they die, after a brief warning animation.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Simple mobs must die

## About The Pull Request
this is a mob that was removed from the game since years ago. this pr
refactors them and readds them to the game. seedlings now can have
different colored petals!

to obtain this monster, botany can now grow them out of 'seedling' seeds
that they can find in the exotic seeds crate. this mob loves to help all
plants and when its grown out of the seed, it will help the botanists
look after their plants. it can water plants (if it finds a bucket),
remove weeds and remove dead plants. they will also use their solarbeam
ability to provide small healing to damaged plants. it will try to
refill its bucket with water if there is a water source near by. it will
also follow the orders of whoever harvested it.

traitors can buy a seed from the uplink that grows an evil version of
the seedlings, they can command them to attack people and use abilities
and to cause chaos on the station.

## About The Pull Request
Teleport beacon can be turned on and off. Turning off only removes it
from the list of selectable locations on the teleporter, you can still
teleport to it. In this PR <s>I add weak_ref removal on turning off the
beacon (of which I'm not certain if that's a good solution, but seems to
work)</s> I use signals to handle turning off the teleportation.
## Why It's Good For The Game
You can turn off the beacon to stop someone teleporting to your location
and it doesn't mislead players into thinking disabled teleport beacon
cannot be teleported to anymore.

fix: You can no longer teleport to disabled beacon if the teleporter was
previously locked-on to it.

## About The Pull Request
Heavily refactors wounds AGAIN.
The primary thing this PR does is completely change how wounds are
generated and added - while the normal "hit a guy til they bleed" stuff
works about the same, asking for a specific type of wound, say, like how
vending machines try to apply a compound fracture sometimes, isnt going
to work if we ever get any non-organic wounds, which the previous
refactor allowed.
With this PR, however...
* You can now ask for a specific type of wound via
get_corresponding_wound_type(), which takes wound types, a limb, wound
series, etc. and will try to give you a wound fitting those
specifications - but also, a wound that can be applied to a limb.
* This will allow for a vending machine to apply a compound fracture to
a human, but a collapsed superstructure (assuming my synth wounds go in)
to a robot
There are now new "series types" and "wound specific types" that allow
us to designate what series are "mainline" and randomly generatable, and
what are "alternate types" and must be generated manually - you can see
the documentation in wounds.dm.
The behavior of limping and interaction delays has been abstracted to
datum/wound from bone wounds to allow just, general ease of development
Pregen data now allows for series-specific wound penalties. Example: You
could set a burn wound's series wound penalty to 40, which would make
wound progression in the burn category easier - but it would not make it
any easier to get a slashing wound. As it stands wound penalties are for
wounds globally
Scar files are now picked in a "priority" list, where the wound checks
to see if the limb has a biostate before moving down in said list.
Example: Wounds will check for flesh first, if it finds it - it will use
the flesh scar list. Failing that, they then check bone - if it uses
that, it will use the bone scar list. This allows for significantly more
modular scars that dont even need much proc editing when a new wound
type is added
Misc changes: most initial() usage has been replaced by singleton
datums, wound_type is now wound_types and thus wounds can accept
multiple wound types, wounds can now accept multiple tool behaviors for
treatment, wounds now have a picking weight so we can make certain
wounds rarer flatly,
This PR also allows for wounds to override lower severity wounds on
generation, allowing eswords to jump to avulsions - but in spirit of
refactoring, this has been disabled by default (see pregen data's
competition_mode var).
## Why It's Good For The Game
Code quality is good!
Also, all the changes above allow wounds to be a MUCH more modular
system, which is one of its biggest problems right now - everything is
kinda hardcoded and static, making creative work within wounds harder to
do.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Refactored wounds yet again
fix: Wounds are now picked from the most severe down again, meaning
eswords can jump to avulsions
fix: Scar descs are now properly applied

I went through the code and tried to find all of the remaining places we
forgot to update the arguments passed into `item/food/Initialize` after
more arguments were added to it, because there were a couple and they
caused things to stop working.
Most notably, golems were unable to eat anything because nothing would
correctly spawn "golem food".
_Additionally_ we were using a bunch of named arguments in new whenever
crafting or cooking food. This runtimed, causing the food not to init
properly.
_On top of that_ a late code review on a recent PR processed a list into
a string_assoc_list twice causing it to become null.
Finally, we were trying to check the food preferences of examining
ghosts or dogs or other non-human mobs. We shouldn't do that.
I also added a unit test for moth and golem food in the hopes that we'll
notice them breaking.
## About The Pull Request
Transforms the minebots into basic robots. You can now command these
minebots to extract minerals for you. To activate automated mining mode,
simply instruct them with the command "mine." They will then proceed to
autonomously mine walls and gather ores. If you wish to make the bot
deposit all the collected ores, use the command "drop." Alternatively,
you can leave it in collection mode, and it will gather all the ores you
mine. Additionally, the bot now responds to several more commands; you
can instruct it to follow you, toggle its lights on or off by saying
"lights." In attack mode, it refrains from mining or collecting ores but
will engage in combat alongside you. If it detects you as deceased or
unconscious, it will alert all miners, request assistance, and relay
your coordinates via the mining communication channel. to power it on u
will need to feed it any type of ore first so it may listen to ur
commands

## About The Pull Request
During my first fishing related PR, I hadn't yet know that for the
`fish_counts` var to work, its contents also had to be within the

lame.

## About The Pull Request
**_THIS PR UPDATES THE SCAR VERSION - ALL EXISTING SCARS WILL BE
WIPED_**
Expands the wound system functionality to support any type of limb at
all.
To do this, wounds have been significantly refactored. For starters,
wounds now use limb biotype instead of wound type for determining what
they can be applied to. They also use singleton instances for most "can
we apply this" checks instead if copy pasted initial().
Wounds now use a "wound series" instead of wound_type for determining
the, well, series. Previously, all WOUND_BLUNT wounds were considered
bone wounds, making it impossible to have multiple WOUND_BLUNT wounds at
once. Now, its based on wound series - bone wounds are of the blunt bone
wound series, and use the typical logic.
One change that results from this is the ability for everything with a
jointed limb to get a dislocation. Yes, this includes things like
prosthetics.
On the note of external and internal biotypes: Exterior are bones,
Interior is flesh. Interior protects exterior from slash until its
mangled, at which point it either exposes exterior to slash or allows
dismemberment if theres no exterior.
Basically - it acts the exact same way, except its not hardcoded, and
its more modular.
A lot, lot more changes were made - I cant name them all, but if youre
interested, you can read up. Wounds have more procs, more
modularization, and less hardcoding.
Sadly, scars have been updated in such a way so that the wound version
must be updated. Scars will be deleted.
## Why It's Good For The Game
As it stands, half the limbs in the game can't be dismembered. This
changes that, allowing every single limb to be dismembered.
The two dismemberment critera are now:
1. If able to get mangled flesh or bone, it can be dismembered once it
gets mangled flesh and bone (or JUST flesh if it only has a internal
biostate, vice vers afor bone if external only)
2. If it cant be dismembered by the above, it will have a chance to
dismember when at or above 80% of its total max damage
Finally, code being better is usually a good thing.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Prosthetics and slimepeople can now have limbs dismembered
balance: Slimepeople can now receive slash wounds, but cannot bleed
balance: Most limbs can now be dislocated
refactor: Scar backend reworked, scars will be wiped as they update to
the new format

## About The Pull Request
`is_banned_from(...)` expects a ckey.
`/obj/effect/mob_spawn/ghost_role/attack_ghost(...)` checks for role
bans by using key instead.
This can lead to players whose keys and ckeys are different being able
to evade certain ghost role bans; by accident or otherwise.
This PR takes a two-pronged approach. The first fixes ghost roles
passing in the key instead of the ckey to is_banned_from. This fixes the
bug, and makes it consistent with all other cases of
`is_banned_from(...)` being called.
The second is to redefine the behaviour of `is_banned_from(...)` to
accept either a ckey OR a key, since converting from key to canonical
key should be a fairly trivial operation. This prevents this specific
bug from ever occuring again, by making it intended functionality to
pass either key or ckey similar to how the roles param accepts either a
string role or a list of roles.
### ***Please review the code carefully, my changes to
`is_banned_from(...)` have not been tested. No logical flow should have
been changed.***
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
There were a few things about that last cargo resprite that people
didn't quite agree with. The resprite had heart, but so did the
complaints. This aims to be the best of both worlds, keeping the "dark
cargo" resprite but making it blend better with the rest of the game.
First, this gets a few sprites that were missed:
Winter Coat
QM Winter Coat
QM Cloak
Beret (This is a Greyscale item so icon quality isn't something I can
change. Its just the best color I could get it now)
This also adds a skirt variant of the cargo shorts, the cargo shortskirt
As for the old sprites:
Fixes the contrast/palette on the new cargo sprites to make them less
violently black and dark

Redoes the Object sprites to better match the rest of the codebase's
objects, as well as fixing the same contrast/palette issue mentioned
above

And finally, adds **proper** rolled-down states to all of them

Smaller things:
- Renames "outfits" to "uniforms" (I've never seen any clothes called
"outfits" before and it seemed very out of place)
- Adjusts the mining suits code to have Name above Description like
every other item in this file
No Sealed I'm not doing the banner. And anybody who asks about
Cargorilla, they had a huge stockpile of the old uniform in the
gorilla's size that nobody else could really wear so they need to use it
all up
## Why It's Good For The Game
There was a lot of player (and spriter) feedback that should have been
taken into consideration; the one that stood out most to me was
@Draganfrukts, who even gave an example of a better palette - I
attempted to mesh both his idea and the original colors into a
combination that fits the game environment a lot better.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Cargo now once again has access to a "Cargo Shortskirt", a skirt
variant of their shorts!
image: tweaks and adjustments to the Cargo resprite have been made, as
well as respriting some missed icons such as the Winter Coats and QM
Cloak

Checking the achievements UI now shows a line below the Unlocked/Locked

Beside that, I've added a check in the achievement unit test to
ascertain that all award categories are actually present in the UI, and
as well moved all `ui_data` to `static_ui_date` considering it is not
the sort of interface that has to be constantly updated like an air

## About The Pull Request
Hey there,
This was broken in an update from #74573
(3902973978), the RegEx was only catching
a fraction of the cases it was meant to be.
This is what we were finding on 74573 version of the RegEx:

This is what we should be finding for all of the cases that
`define_sanity` will need to check for:

This is what was broken as a consequence:

As stated in the introductory PR #74333
(ccef887efe), it's not the end of the
world if we miss unmanaged local defines, but it's still useful to have
this as a maintainability tool to ensure that everything remains as
clean as it possibly can. I wish we could do the whole matching method
like the aforementioned PR supposed could happen, but it simply doesn't
appear to work the way we want it to.
## Changelog
Nothing player facing.
I tried to experiment with `UNLINT()` but I got absolutely ganked by
getting the regex to work, so the fix for the FA Icon file may not be
super duper great unfortunately. Let me know if you have a showstopper
idea, this is just a stopguard so this PR can get merged and I don't
have to keep talking about unmanaged local defines while reviewing PRs.

## 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
## Why It's Good For The Game
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.
placing the fire shark and star gazer under the same type also is useful
as they share a lot of values. typos bad.

## About The Pull Request
`init_possible_values()` now only ever returns a list of values instead
of both values and icons. The responsibility of icon generation has
moved from this proc to a new `icon_for(value)` proc, which returns the
icon/typepath of an atom. A runtime is thrown if any value does not have
an icon.
This boosts production initialization times by 3+ seconds, but is
primarily done to allow for further optimizations of this process. As an
example, it is a mapping of value -> icon so that in the code that
executes this we can have more fine grained control over tick overrun.
As a bonus, fixes#67092.

## About The Pull Request
I literally can't focus on anything nowadays, so I just did this to
break a never-ending chain of distress. Anyways, regal rats! These
fellas are mostly player controlled, but did have _some_ AI capabilities
(mainly tied to their actions), so that was incorporated too. Everything
should work as-expected (as well as look a shitload cleaner).
Instead of doing weird and awful conditional signals being sent out, I
made the `COMSIG_REGAL_RAT_INTERACT` (not the actual name) have a return
value so we can always rely on that working whenever we have that signal
registered on something we attack. I also cleaned up pretty much every
proc related to regal rats, gave them AIs to reflect their kingly nature
(and action capabilities (as well as move the action to
`mob_cooldown`)).
Since I thought they needed it, Regal Rats now get a special moniker!
This is stuff like "the Big Cheese" and what-not, like actual regents in
history. That's nice.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Two more off the list. Much better code to read. Way smarter rats with
spawning their army as part of a retaliatory assault (war). More sovl
with better regal rat names. The list goes on.
## Changelog

refactor: Regal Rats have been refactored into basic mobs. They should
be a bit smarter and retain their docility (until attacked, in which
case you should prepare to get rekt by summoned rats), and properly flee
when they can instead of just sit there as you beat them to death. The
framework for them interacting with stuff (i.e. opening doors while
slobbering on food) is a bit more unified too, now. They also have
cooler names too!
/🆑
FYI: Beyond a few code touchups, I haven't touched the actions at all. I
do not believe myself to be enthusiastic about fixing anything involving
the actions code as of this moment so that this PR is more overbloated

## 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**

- 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
🆑
refactor: Basilisks and Watchers now use the basic mob framework. Please
bug report any unusual behaviour.

## About The Pull Request
Hey there,
Ticked File Enforcement simply wasn't catching files that were missed.
That's a bit stupid, so I decided to look into what the issue might be,
and whoopsie daisies I did double periods back in #76592
(020ac24053).

I also added some debug info and some more checks to prevent such a
break from happening again on runtime of this script. I thought it was a
weird string concatenation issue (and not the simple break I thought it
was), so I rewrote how it adds `glob`s. I think it's cleaner so I'll
keep it anyhow
This PR also corrects the oversight of the missing unit test (introduced
in #77218 (69827604c4)) by reticking it in
the `_unit_tests.dm` file, and also makes it compile because it didn't
do that.
I also then had to do some more work to get the unit test to work.
* Genericizes the Create-and-Destroy "ignore" list to be a static list
on `/datum/unit_test` to allow it to be shared between these types of
tests that we need to test.
* Adds that list to C&D and the broken unit test regarding fantasy
bonuses
* Fixes some actually broken that the unit test was made to catch (beam
rifles, butterdogs and other slippery items, random ingredient boxes).
* Adds cases for things that the unit test and overall framework really
shouldn't be altering anyways (mythril), and was likely causing
inappropriate stack traces on master
## Why It's Good For The Game
Unit Tests WORK. Tools WORK.

## Changelog
🆑
fix: Beam rifles will no longer inappropriately retain any bonuses they
may gain from wizardry.
fix: Inappropriate stack traces over bonuses being applied to components
that gain bonuses innately (like Mythril stacks) should cease.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a unique medibot to the Syndicate Infiltrator. It doesn't like
nukes - when one is armed, disarmed, or detonating, it says an unique
line. Players can optionally enable personalities on it if they want to.
Probably best to just let it stay on the shuttle though. (It's also in
the Interdyne Pharmaceuticals ship, renamed)
Fixed an issue that made mapload medibots unable to load custom skins.
This PR adds a medibot subtype to the simple animal freeze list, which I
don't think is a big deal as this isn't a 'true' simplemob but just a
slightly altered medibot, similarly to my 'lesser Gorillas' in the
summon simians PR.

I know what the inmediate reaction is here - but hear me out. Besides
the meme of the month, it really, genuinely is cute and amusing to have
a friendly medibot that shows dismay when you're arming the nuke and
horror when it blows up (with you, hopefully, at the syndibase), and
still fits quite well within SS13's charm and flavor. The reference
isn't overt and in-your-face.
Besides that, slip-ups, friendly fire, and accidents are semi-common on
the shuttle and, just like Wizards, nukies deserve a bot to patch their
wounds up.

## About The Pull Request
i have refactored ice whelps into basic mobs. They are now the artistic
sort as theyll mark their territory by seeking out icy rocks and carve
out statues of theirselves using their claws to serve as a warning to
players/animals that this is dragon turf and theyll also go out of their
way to burn any trees in vicinity just for the hell of it. they are now
gruesome cannibals if they find a corpse of one of their kin near them
theyll go eat it for nurishment. AS for combat, they have a new ability
which allows them to release fire in all directions however theyll only
use this ability once their enraged meter is full. to make it fair ive
given them a new component which allows them to telegraph abilities and
only do them after a delay so players can react in time for it.

## About The Pull Request
Hey there,
I've personally fallen for this stupid thing twice (in #77503 and #75627

hours to crack out a unit test to ensure that I (and no one else) falls

## 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
I have created a basic eyeball monster with new abilities and behaviors.
The eyeball has a unique power that allows it to glare at humans and
make them slow for a short period. However, this ability only works if
the human can see the eyeball monster. If a person is blind or unable to
see the eyeball, the ability won't affect them. Also, if someone turns
their back to the eyeball, it cannot use the ability on them. But be
cautious because the eyeball will try to position itself in front of the
person's face to use its power.
The eyeball is hostile towards all humans except for the blind ones and
those with significant eye damage. It has a compassionate side too, as
it loves to help people with eye damage by providing small healing to
their eyes.
Furthermore, the eyeball has a fondness for eating carrots, which not
only satisfies its appetite but also grants it a small health boost. To
add to its appearance, I've given it a new, larger, and scarier sprite.
However, I am open to changing it back to the old sprite if the player
prefers it that way.
Additionally, the eyeball displays emotions, and if you hit it, it will
cry tears as a sign of pain or sadness.

## Why It's Good For The Game
the eyeball now have more depth and character to his behavier.

## About The Pull Request
I'm adding a unit test for the sanity of client colours, ancient datums
which I had refactored a long time ago. This also affects the
`color_to_full_rgba_matrix()` proc, which I had also worked on.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ever since that aforementioned years old refactor, there have always
been a few issues with client colours.
The most annoying one being the monochromacy client color lingering even
after the blindness status effect is ok.
It's unlikely this will fix that. However, this should clear a few other
runtimes with the feature.

## About The Pull Request
They are hard deleting without actually dumping data.
This makes sense because I was forestalling the actual period of hard
deleting forever, in an attempt to save cpu in the worst case.
I no longer think this is worthwhile, so we'll now fully process the
queue during create and destroy.
There is ALSO a risk of the bar being created AFTER create and destroy
runs. If that's what happening I'm gonna go cry in the dirt. I'm adding
protection against it here just in case, alongside changing the timeout
to use real time rather then world.time, since that barely increments in
this case

## About The Pull Request
Adds Summon Simians, a spell that summons four monkeys or lesser
gorillas, with the amount increasing per upgrade. The monkeys have
various fun gear depending on how lucky you get and how leveled the
spell is. If the spell is maximum level, it only summons normal
gorillas.
Added further support for nonhuman robed casting: Monkeys, cyborgs, and
drones can all now cast robed spells as long as they're wearing a
wizardly hat as well.
Made monkeys able to wield things again.
Wizard Mutate spell works on non-human races. It also gives you
Gigantism now (funny). If the Race can't support tinted bodyparts, your
whole sprite is temporarily turned green.
Made Laser eyes projectiles a subtype of actual lasers, which has
various properties such as on-hit effects and upping the damage to 30.

It's criminal we don't have a monky spell, and this is a really fun spin
on it. Total chaos, but total monky chaos. It's surprisingly strong,
but! it can very well backfire if you stay near the angry monkeys too
long and your protection fades away. Unless you become a monkey
yourself!!
> Wizard Mutate spell works on non-human races.
This spell is great but it's hampered by the mutation's human
requirement, which is reasonable in normal gameplay. Wizards don't need
to care about that, and the human restriction hinders a lot of possible
gimmicks, so off it goes. Also, wizard hulk does't cause chunky fingers
for similar reasons
> Made Laser eyes projectiles a subtype of actual lasers, which has
various properties such as on-hit effects and upping the damage to 30.
Don't really caer about the damage so much, this is more so that it has
effects such as on-hit visuals. Can lower the damage if required, but
honestly anything that competes against troll mjolnir is good.
> Added further support for nonhuman robed casting: Monkeys, cyborgs,

SS13 is known for 'The Dev Team Thinks of Everything' and I believe this
is a sorely lacking part of this or something. It's funny.
I want to see a monkey wizard.

## About The Pull Request
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/66573#discussion_r861157216
`status_effect/proc/tick(seconds_per_tick)` is wildly misleading and I
feel like I should address it
For a majority of status effects, they process on fast processing but do
not tick every fastprocessing tick
This means that using `seconds_per_tick` here is not giving you the
seconds between status effect ticks, it's giving you seconds between
processing ticks (`0.2`)
This is how it's misleading - If you have a tick interval of `1
SECONDS`, you'd think `seconds_per_tick` is, well, one. But it's
actually one-fifth. So all of your effects are now 80% weaker.
I have replaced the use of `seconds_per_tick` in tick with
`seconds_between_ticks`.
This number is, quite simply, the initial tick interval of the status
effect divided by ten.
An effect with the tick interval of `1 SECONDS` has a
`seconds_between_ticks` of 1.
As a consequence, some things which were inadvertently made weaker, such
as fire and some heretic things (at a glance), are now a little
stronger.
## Why It's Good For The Game
See above. Makes it more clear what you're doing when working with
effects.

## About The Pull Request
I'm sick of the progress bar harddel, and I've ran into this problem in
the past, so I'm just gonna do something about it
If you want to provide an individual logged bit of info about a harddel,
you can override `/datum/proc/dump_harddel_info()` and return a string
containing "whatever"
Use of this should be limited, this could potentially clutter del logs,
especially if it's used on something that fails often, like pipes
I do think it's still useful tho. It's output ingame, in the logs, and
in unit test failures. Hopefully all nicely tho I'm only really 100%
sure about in game.
## About The Pull Request
I'm slowly chipping away at mining mobs. These ones also got some new
sprites because the old ones were a bit weird except when facing South.

Arctic Lobstrosities are now hairy to give them a little more visual
distinction from Lavaland ones.
In terms of behaviour, they're now a little faster and can charge you
from further away.
They will _only_ attack players who are incapacitated in some way
(primarily from being hit by their charge, but could be from a Goliath
or something too) and will otherwise keep their distance until they can
charge again. They move slower for a short duration after charging
though, so you have time to slap them a bit.
If a Lobstrosity downs you then it will try to snip off one of your
arms, then retreat in order to eat it.
Obviously nobody likes losing an arm, but this does give you an
opportunity to get away while it is distracted? Funnily enough the way
our health system works means that sometimes losing that arm actually
takes you out of soft crit so you can stumble back to the station for a
replacement (or try to wrestle yours back?)
All of these things are achievable also by a player if you make one
sapient, they will pull arms off mobs they attack which are in crit and
can eat arms if they see them lying around if they want.
I added an element to let you dismember people with your bare hands,
maybe someone evil can use it to add a beheading attack some day.
Here's a video of their new behaviours:

## About The Pull Request
On the tin, the former "imp" is now refactored into basic mob code. Very
simple since these are only meant to be controlled by players, and all
of their stuff was on Signal Handlers and Cooldown Actions anyways. Just
lessens the amount of stupidity.
Did you know that we were trying to make demons spawn in a `pop`'d cat
named "Laughter"? Embedded in the list? I've literally never seen this
cat, so I'm under heavy suspicion that the code we were using was broken
for the longest time (or may have never worked), and we now instead just
do it a much more sane way of having a cat spawn on our demise.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cleaner code! Less simple mob jank to deal with. Trims down the list of
simple animals to refactor. No more duplicated code that we were already
doing on parent! It's so good man literally everything was seamless with
a bit of retooling and tinkering. The typepath is also no longer `imp`,
it's actually `demon`, which I'm happy with because there's no other
demons to have it be confused with anymore.
We were also doing copypasta on both the demon spawner bottle and the
demon spawning event so I also just unified that into the mob. I also
reorganized the sprites to be a bit clearer and match their new
nomenclature
