Alright, this is a functional rework for civilian bounties, which should serve a few purposes:
Cargo has a reason to actually keep working and stay within cargo.
Makes cargo bounties far more integrated into the round as opposed to being a static list of soft goals, being personalized to those who would actually do a bounty for the station.
Still make civilian bounties the prime, sirloin steak method for regular crew to make money.
So here's the 4-11:
Static cargo bounties have been removed, in favor of the new system of civilian bounties. That means that both the bounties app and the bounty console have been removed.
Civilian bounties have been buffed. They are no longer affected by inflation, but when your bounty is completed, you will recieve a "bounty cube". To receive the cash you would have received for the bounty (10% of the civilian bounty), that bounty cube must be shipped off the cargo shuttle, and using the magic of the price tag component, you make your cut, and cargo makes their 90%, ensuring that you'll actually see your money (for once!).
Civilian bounties are now independent of department budgets, in preparation for departmental purchases, so now you can more freely benefit from doing civilian bounties to buy things! (See #53881)
Non-mining cargo department crew now have fully randomized bounties, to give them stationwide goals for bounty hunting.
As an added benefit, the icon for bounty cubes basically screams value, so hopefully crewmembers will see it and instantly think to sell it.
Price inflation is now based upon averages, and is now uncapped from 5.
Civilian budget is no longer the worst budget to pay out from.
Medical Civilian bounties are no longer chees-able in seconds.

tweak: Split chemical bounties into simple/complex ones and removed some that are disproportionately hard to acquire.
tweak: The "More Bounties" bounty now awards five instead of three new bounties.
/cl
tl;dr of this PR is:
A) Reagent bounties are split into two different categories - simple and complex.
Simple bounties can be mixed by a single chemist, but complex ones require either cooperation with a third department or some serious mixing.
Also, removed amanitin/coniine bounties since those should be added to botany bounties instead.
B) Tweaked bartender bounties
Removed quintuple sec, as it relies on Bananium which can't be obtained every round
Removed hearty punch, as it takes a disproportionate amount of effort to mix in large quantities
Added bounties for peppermint patty, pumpkin latte and aloe
C) Increased the amount of "more bounties"
The variety and amount of available bounties has increased since the original PR; it only makes sense to increase the number of new bounties offered by this as well.
The game can use more bounties that require actual effort and cooperation to
complete, but give far higher rewards than the "collect some glass shards"
Assistant type bounties. Thanks again to Tlaltecuhtli for these ideas.
I added the following:
Engineering
Various atmos gases, price determined by how hard they are to acquire. I
deliberately left out Stimulum/Hypernobilium, as only a handful of players even
have an idea of how to make them. Plasma tank bounty got removed, since it's
just a case of "put tank into plasma canister and open valve".
Contained Tesla ball. The idea is to build a tesla setup inside the supply
shuttle, then ship it off. This pays a lot, since players have to purchase a
bunch of packs, get them unlocked+approved by heads of staff and finally
construct the whole thing inside a cramped shuttle. Materials alone cost about
14.000 credits for this one.
Tesla containment maintains power during the shuttle ride and it gets deleted
successfully on arrival at CentCom. As a failsafe, I've added both singulo and
tesla as 1 credit exports in case someone ships them over to CentCom without an
active bounty.
Mining
Almost everything you can craft from Lavaland fauna, from lava grilled steaks
over bone axes to goliath hide boats.
