Refactors the nearly completely stateless component "caltrop" into an
element. The previous limit on "one message per caltrop per second" has
been changed to "one message (about caltrops) per mob per second".
This avoids a unique component for each shard of glass, and each cactus
in the world, so saves some much needed memory.
A message about "sliding over" caltrops has been removed, since it's
now intended that you only trigger caltrops if you're not lying down.

These hedges block vision, unless trimmed. Thankfully, we already have a hedge trimming skillchip, so using a sharp implement on the hedge will make it non-opaque.
Yeah uhh this'll probably need testmerging even after it's done because yeah it's a bit big.
If y'all want me to atomize this into two PRs (pass flags vs projectiles) tell me please. Pass flags would have to go in first though, in that case, as new projectile hit handling will rely on pass_flags_self.
Pass flags:
Pass flags handling now uses an atom variable named pass_flags_self.
If any of these match a pass_flag on a thing trying to pass through, it's allowed through by default.
This makes overriding CanAllowThrough unnecessary for the majority of things. I've however not removed overrides for very.. weird cases, like plastic flaps which uses a prob(60) for letting PASSGLASS things through for god knows why.
LETPASSTHROW is now on pass_flags_self
Projectiles:
Not finalized yet, need to do something to make the system I have in mind have less unneeded overhead + snowflake
Basically, for piercing/phasing/otherwise projectiles that go through things instead of hitting the first dense object, I have them use pass_flags flags for two new variables, projectile_phasing and projectile_piercing. Anything with pass_flags_self in the former gets phased through entirely. Anything in the latter gets hit, and the projectile then goes through. on_hit will also register a piercing hit vs a normal hit (so things like missiles can only explode on a normal hit or otherwise, instead of exploding multiple times. Not needed as missiles qdel(src) right now but it's nice to have for the future).
I still need to decide what to do for hit handling proper, as Bump() is still preferred due to it not being as high-overhead as something like scanning on Moved(). I'm thinking I'll make Moved() only scan for cases where it needs to hit a non-dense object - a prone human the user clicked on, anything special like that. Don't know the exact specifics yet, which is why this is still WIP.
Projectiles now use check_pierce() to determine if it goes through something and hits it, doesn't hit it, or doesn't go through something at all (should delete self after hitting). Will likely make an on_pierce proc to be called post-piercing something so you can have !fun! things like projectiles that go down in damage after piercing something. This will likely deprecate the process_hit proc, or at least make it less awful.
scan_for_hit() is now used to attempt to hit something and will return whether the projectile got deleted or not. It will delete the projectile if the projectile does hit something and fails to pierce through it.
scan_moved_turf() (WIP) will be used for handling moving onto a turf.
permutated has been renamed to impacted. Ricocheting projectiles get it reset, allowing projectiles to pierce and potentially hit something again if it goes back around.
A new unit test has been added checking for projectiles with movement type of PHASING. This is because PHASING completely causes projectiles to break down as projectiles mainly sense collisions through Bump. The small boost in performance from using PHASING instead of having all pass flags active/overriding check_pierce is in my opinion not worth the extra snowflake in scan_moved_turf() I'd have to do to deal with having to check for hits manually rather than Bump()ing things.
Movement types
UNSTOPPABLE renamed to PHASING to better describe what it is, going through and crossing everything but not actually bumping.
Why It's Good For The Game
Better pass flags handling allows for less proc overrides, bitflag checks are far less expensive in general.
Fixes penetrating projectiles like sniper penetrators
This system also allows for better handling of piercing projectiles (see above) without too much snowflake code, as you'd only need to modify on_pierce() if you needed to do special handling like dampening damage per target pierced, and otherwise you could just use the standardized system and just set pass flags to what's needed. If you really need a projectile that pierces almost everything, override check_pierce(), which is still going to be easier than what was done before (even with snowflake handling of UNSTOPPABLE flag process_hit() was extremely ugly, now we don't rely on movement types at all.)
Grenades have, for the longest time, used the proc name preprime() to refer to arming a timed grenade so that it will boom in a few seconds, and prime() to refer to the grenade actually going boom (or releasing foam or anything else grenades do when they go off). This was very confusing, so now these two procs are called arm_grenade() and detonate().
Replica pods were calling CanUse as opposed to canUseTopic when harvesting seeds, and since CanUse hinges on the machinery being usable and powered, it was preventing the harvesting of replica pods when depowered as expected. The only thing that should be needed for harvesting trays should pretty exclusively be the standard level of adjacency.

This PR brings three new plants, and 6 new food recipes into being. This is a combined port of Citadel-Station-13/Citadel-Station-13#12211 and Citadel-Station-13/Citadel-Station-13#12510, along with the fixes made along the way.
Laugh Peas contains 7% Laughter.
World Peas contains 10% Pax and Happiness, but takes at least 21 cycles to bear a harvest, by having a maturation time of 20.
Salad of Eden contains 3 units of Earthsblood, 5 units of Omnizine, and 2 units of Happiness, but requires one of every ambrosia leaf, as well as a world pea.
Credits to TripleZeta for the base peas sprite, and Stewydeadmike for the Laugh, World, and food sprites. Without them, the peas would have remained an ideasguy sort of deal.
Originally I wanted to fix an issue where the `get_up()` `do_after()` would ignore the callback checks, because it was `uninterruptible`, so that made me refactor these procs to allow for higher granularity on checks and standardize behavior a bit more.
There's more work to be done for them, but one thing at a time.
* Removes the `uninterruptible` check in favor of the more granular `timed_action_flags`
* Cleans code on the `do_atom`, `do_after_mob`, `do_mob` and `do_after` procs to standardize them a little better.
Its all over the place, messy, and overall a bad enough gamemode to be removed from rotation.
A rework would have to tear out everything as is so there is no reason to allow the shitcode to live beyond tripping up everything.
* Process procs now properly use deltatime when implementing rates, timers and probabilities
* Review fixes
* Geiger counters cleanup
Made hardsuit geiger code more similar to geiger counter code
Geiger counters are more responsive now
* Moved SS*_DT defines to subsystems.dm
* Rebase fix
* Redefined the SS*_DT defines to use the subsystem wait vars
* Implemented suggested changes by @AnturK
* Commented /datum/proc/process about the deltatime stuff
* Send delta_time as a process parameter instead of the defines
Also DTfied acid_processing
* Dtfied new acid component
By clicking yourself with grab intent while targeting a limb of yours that's bleeding, you'll "grab" onto it with your free hand to apply pressure. This takes 1.5 seconds to do, takes up a hand while you do so, and applies a slowdown while you're holding it. In return, that limb will bleed 30% less while you're holding it (though it won't clot any faster). This stacks with the 25% reduction in bleeding you get from being horizontal, so laying down clutching your gushing gut while waiting for help is now both thematic and viable!
Other fixes and changes
I also made some other changes to wounds of various importance. Here's a quick list
-Most wound treatments now respect thick clothing/materials, so you can no longer suture slashes through spacesuits.
-Using sutures on slashes and pierces now actually use up sutures, and regen mesh must be opened to treat wounds with
-Infectious zombies (romerol) can now be wounded as intended
-Coagulant has been nerfed again to reduce bleeding less for every wound it's reducing bleeding on. This'll still need more love and attention later, but I need to find a good middle point where medipens are good for bleeding in an emergency without being a way to sidestep any and all bleeding wounds in one go.
-I added a recipe for improvised coagulant in the Wounds 2 PR using baked pulped banana peels and salglu, but then realized that recipe sucked and was overly complicated. You can now drink straight up ground/juiced banana peels to help close up slashes and piercings. Yuckm!
-You can no longer repeatedly disembowel people who have already lost their internal organs
-Whetstones now make things edged sharp rather than pointy sharp, fixing a carryover from when sharpness = 2 used to be accurate sharpness. This'll have the effect of making sharpened weapons less sucky at chopping people apart since slashing is usually more devastating than piercing
I've also made a few tweaks to scars, mostly making them a bit smaller. It now takes twice as much scar severity to reach "absolutely fucked up" when examined, and the other steps have been raised a few points as well. Minor scar examine text is a tad smaller text-wise, and the precise locations for the scars are a bit more procedural as well (more location modifiers like upper/lower/inner/outer wrist/whatever). These changes will hopefully add a bit more variety to the scarring you see on random crew members, since it's pretty easy to hit max examine severity as is.
Sparks no longer lag, projectile beams move super smoothly, same with mobs and whatnot. This also allows for easy expansion into directional lights, field-of-view, wee-woo rotating lights or whatever.
It does have a downside: things right-clicked or checked through the alt+click tab will show the light overlay:
This is a BYOND limitation, very well worth it IMO.
🆑
add: Smooth movable lighting system implemented. Projectiles, sparks, thrown flashlights or moving mobs with lights should be much smoother and less laggy.

About The Pull Request
This PR adds medical wounds, new forms of injuries that people can suffer that cause debilitation and complications, and often require more than what can be found in a medkit to treat. But let's be honest, big complicated walls of text about medical changes make people's eyes glaze over easily- so I created a handy infograph to explain the basics!
Also there's a full guide here!
dreamseeker_2020-04-18_20-42-19.png
The infograph may not be fully up to date with the specifics of the PR's status, but it'll be updated along with major changes so people have something to use as a crash course for familiarizing themselves with how wounds function. I also have another infograph with all 9 of the possible initial wounds coming, and will be up soon. You can also find the longform design doc here with more info on the broad details, including descriptions of treatments: hackmd whee
What this does
There's a lot to cover, but here's the bullet points of the main features and changes:
Getting lots of damage on a limb can result in wounds, with more damage causing worse wounds. These can range from dislocated joints and minor cuts to compound fractures and fourth degree burns, and can affect you in different ways depending on what bodypart they're applied to (namely with broken bones).
You can damage individual bodyparts on clothing (only jumpsuits for now) through the use of lasers and sharp weapons. Bodyparts that reach max damage are considered "shredded" and will not apply any protection for that zone until it is repaired with cloth. If all zones are disabled, the entire piece of clothing is shredded and unwearable until repaired with 3 cloth. Jumpsuits give a small amount of wound protection, and since sharp weapons and lasers generally get extra wound bonuses against bare flesh, even a plain jumpsuit provides decent protection from a few laser shots or scalpel stabs.
Lasers gain a powerful niche versus unarmored/lightly armored carbons! As noted above, lasers can shred clothing and burn away zones of jumpsuits in 2 shots each, after which the target's bare flesh is exposed (barring other clothing), and lasers excel at dealing burn wounds against uncovered skin. Think big, nasty charring!
Bleeding is now totally limb based, and gauze is as well. Bleeding is also 95% cut wound based, meaning sharp weapons make you bleed rather than just having 40+ brute on a limb.
The more wounds and damage you get on a bodypart, the easier it'll be to gain more severe wounds. Wounds are arranged from Moderate, to Severe, to Critical in increasing severity, and you'll generally have to suffer the lesser ones before getting the worse ones.

Above: Scars from healed wounds
ShareX_2020-05-15_06-55-20.png
Above: Actual combat involving someone's head getting cracked
Here's a quick, if non-exhaustive, list of things I have left to do before I consider it feature complete
Finish adding treatments for each wound type/severity (mostly surgeries/triage for critical wounds)
Add second winds for bad injuries to give the victim a chance to get away
Flesh out severe & critical injuries in general
Find sprites for the bonesetter, bone gel, and anything else that might be needed
Add the medical items for treating the less severe wounds to the station
Polish code and remove any redundancies I left behind
Quick balance pass to make sure nothing is horribly abuseable
Why It's Good For The Game
Adds a flexible new system for representing damage on carbons with injuries that can be treated in different ways. Moderate wounds from getting toolboxed or sliced with a scalpel can usually be treated by a buddy or even by yourself with the right tools, but getting flayed with a fireaxe or a laser gun emptied into your bare skin may require extra attention or even surgery in bad cases! Also makes laser guns cooler and more like 40k lasguns that can flash fry people (cool!)
This should also make spessmen more resilient and harder to kill outright, while still adding consequences and complications to getting hurt. Wounds aren't immediately fatal, but they can do things like slow down interactions, deal damage over time through infections, and generally make you more fragile until fixed. They can also give you a "second wind" on being applied that gives you a small adrenaline boost (or whatever) to help disengage and escape immediate danger.
Changelog
🆑 Ryll/Shaps
add: Introduces medical wounds, new injuries that can happen to fleshy carbons when they sustain lots of damage on a bodypart. There's quite a lot of change here, but you can read the guide at: https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Guide_to_wounds and an extended changelog is available here: https://hackmd.io/l_FI9b3tSqa_woDadewJXA
add: Introduces scars and temporal scarring! Healing a wound leaves a scar behind that can be seen by examining someone twice rapidly, and if Temporal Scarring is enabled in character prefs, surviving a round with scars will save them to be granted at roundstart another round! Let your body tell stories!
tweak: Bleeding is now fully bodypart-focused, and 95% of bleeding comes from cut wounds from sharp weapons. Gauze is applied on a limb-by-limb basis, and helps staunch bloodflow rather than totally stop it. Notably, you no longer bleed just from having 40+ brute damage on a limb.
del: Organic bodyparts are no longer disabled at maximum damage, but are easier to cause wounds to
add: O2 medkits in emergency lockers have been replaced with new emergency medkits with basic tools for diagnosing and treating wounds and basic damage
tweak: Herapin now rapidly increases bleeding on all open cuts, rather than causing bleeding by itself. The more cuts on the target, the more it will affect them.
tweak: Neckgrab table slams now hit the targeted limb rather than just the head, with a large chance to dislocate or break a bone
tweak: Sharp weapons and burning weapons can now shred zones on jumpsuits, disabling protection on that limb. Damaged clothes can be repaired with cloth.
tweak: Slaughter demons now deal less raw damage, but gain the ability to cause cut wounds, which becomes more powerful with each attack on a humanoid but resets when bloodcrawling.

About The Pull Request
Lets Start with everything that DIDN'T change.
Plants still have all their unique qualities. That includes chems, traits, all that good stuff.
Plant stats have been unchanged, with an exception I'll bring up later.
Cool. Onto everything else.
Changes to hydroponics trays.
Trays now have a new feature that visually you may be very familiar with. By Ctrl Clicking a tray, it activates Autogrow. Autogrow uses a HEAVY amount of power per tray, but in return it automatically maintains the plant contained within, limited nutrient loss, adding a gradual amount of water per process, and keeps pests and weeds at bay. Ideally you would only be using this on high maintenance plants, or if you need to leave your department for a few minutes. Having all your trays on Autogrow is an excellent way to kill your APC cell in a matter of seconds, even on a robust power setup.
Trays no longer use **Nutrient Points.** Instead, each tray has an internal reagent holder that basically holds a beaker for your plant's nutrients. In exchange, the tray now determines the gradual stat changes of plants based on nutrients within that nutrient tank. That's right, no more dumping chemicals into the tray to reach 100 potency in a matter of minutes. You can, however, use reagent mixes in order to improve plant stats in a satisfying way. Still, with each tray having a default of 10 reagents maximum in the tank, it places a greater impetus on upgrading trays if want to really get the most of a specific chemical composition.
If you realize you need to change the nutrients in the tank, you can Alt Click to empty the whole tank at once.
Seed Changes
All plants now have a new stat, Instability. (It was originally titled stability so I'm changing it here but yes it is now called instability) Contrary to the name, the higher the stability of the plant, the more likely that your plant will see radical changes. Plants with a low stability will not see much difference, but as you go higher and higher you will start seeing the plant automatically mutate with harsher ramifications. At 60 Stability, the plant has a chance to automatically mutate it's species. At 80 Stability, assuming you can prevent the plant from mutating beforehand, the plant has a chance to receive random plant traits similar to strange seeds. That's right! You can now be free from the tyranny of the strange seed market!
Plants are now affected differently by pests and weeds. Instead of outright killing plants, they will instead heavily lower a plant's yield and potency instead. This also allows for plants that have been left for a few minutes to outright die far less than they were before, but at the same time encourage using autogrow when AFK within the department.
When growing a plant however, you have something new to consider. Plants will now pollinate adjacent seeds in trays, which will bleed off adjacent stats to other plants. Primarily, this affects your core stats. like potency, yield, also stability. If you have 2 plant with high and low potency, they'll bleed their stats off into each other as they grow. This allows for interesting mechanical gameplay between nutrient choices, stability, and adjacency. Some plants have naturally high stability that can bleed off of other plants (Corn, Wheat, and Weeds), while others have naturally low stability and can help bring plants back into a maintainable stability threshold if you just want to harvest the plant itself.
Pollination at high levels of stability can also cause the adjacent plants to receive chemical traits from each other. This allows for plants to share chemical traits without having an insane level of control afforded by the DNA manipulator. However, careful manipulation of plant reagents is difficult to do perfectly, and should be done carefully, as well as experimentally.
For a more controlled trait experience however, we have Plant Grafts. Plant grafts are obtained by using the new secateurs, or sheers, that comes with the botanist's default kit. When a plant is ready to harvest, you can cut off a plant graft, which carries several of the plant's stats and qualities with it. When transplanted, you can share the unique traits of several plants into a new host. These traits are mostly the physical traits you're most likely familiar with, like bio-luminescence, slippery skin, liquid contents, the works. You can also store plant grafts if there's a specific trait build you'd like to eventually get to. Since you need to fully grow a plant to graft it, the process of obtaining several unique traits for a plant will result in more types of plants needing to be grown as a result.
Alright, this leads up to what you're probably guessing. DNA manipulator for plants is dead. Even if it's really good, being able to Frankenstein a dozen different plants together without even growing half of them is kinda lame, you have to admit. The new trait and chemical controls are a bit more robust overall to compensate for this.

The Tyranny of Pests and Weeds killing plants for cooperating with the station is dead.
Ambrosia Gaia is now no longer the staple plant of hydroponics, as earthblood trays are dead.
Plant mutations are now easier to come by, and can be achieved within 2 plant generations assuming you're not crossbreeding and using readily available chems.
Chefs, and by extension bartenders, get a wider array of plant's each to work with.
Botanists are no longer required to acquire a chem dispenser at shift-start to acquire mutated plants.
Crosspollination, mutation, and grafting allows for a more interesting dynamic in improving plant stats, as opposed to just clicking buttons. It also rewards planning and developing system for growing plants.
Changelog

add: Plants can now Cross-Pollinate, via adjacency. This causes plant stats of average into each-other.
add: Plants now have a new stat, Instability. Instability allows for gradual mutations to a plant's stats at certain thresholds, and a chance of mutation, or gaining new random traits at even higher thresholds.
add: Plants can be grafted when ready to harvest, and grafts can be applied to plants in order to share unique traits, or share stat changes.
del: The Plant DNA Manipulator is dead. Long Live the DNA manipulator.
tweak: Hydroponics trays now have their own internal beaker for holding chemical reagents. As such, chemical affects on plants are gradual, and slowly alter seed stats over generations.
balance: Several chemicals are adjusted to match the new system. Experiment!

There was a missing line (line 17) that outlined what reagents are produced by dried Tea Aspera leaves when ground. With the code added back, dried Tea Aspera will now produce 4% vitamins and 10% Tea Leaves in relation to their potency, which is in line with the stats I could find listed on the /tg/station wiki and the reagent list for the Tea Astera.
This adds two drink ingredients: creme de coconut (a coconut liqueur obtainable in the booze dispenser) and pineapple juice (obtainable in the soda dispenser or via juicing pineapples). It further adds the Pina Colada and Painkiller cocktails & corresponding sprites, and it adjusts the recipe for Bahama Mama. The recipe for pineapple snowcones was also adjusted to require pineapple juice rather than pineapple slices.
Finally, pineapple juice can be found in a carton or craftable juice box, and I've added sprites for this.
Why It's Good For The Game
First off, more drink ingredients equal more realistic drink mixes and more variety, which means more fun for bartenders.
Pineapple snowcones are better off using pineapple juice as opposed to pineapple slices. Previously the recipe called for two pineapple slices; you can now juice those two pineapple slices to produce pineapple juice sufficient for the snowcone.
Regarding the changes to the Bahama Mama recipe: With these changes, the recipe now more closely represents the classic Bahama Mama, which involves coconut, coffee, rum, and pineapple juice as its base ingredients. I removed orange juice to prevent conflict with the Painkiller recipe, but also feel justified in doing so because orange juice is not an essential ingredient of a Bahama Mama, nor is lime.
