Nothing special, honestly - exactly what it sounds like.
Two grammar fixes to pill bottles (missing spaces).
A little grammar tuning on a note I'm pretty sure literally nobody ever reads, at any point, ever.
Just words fixes now but we might as well get them while we're here
Adds a modifier variable which can be used to increase or decrease a given items damage to structures, machinery, vehicles, and robots (including cyborgs, simple-bots, and anything else with the MOB_ROBOTIC biotype)
* Fuck you (refactors ur tails)
* Errors
* Wow. Pain.
* Fixes up probably everything
* finish up here
* Fixes hard del maybe
* original owner hard del
* garbage collection runtime
* suck my peen byond
* Mapped tails
* motherfucker.
* motherrfucker. again.
* Whooopppppsie
* yeah bad idea
* Turns out external organs literally just sat in nullspace forever if their parent was deleted, and didnt Remove() themselves, causing harddels.
* So anyways I repathed all organs

Adds a brand new random event as a spiritual successor to the long-lost scrubber overflow event! Scrubbers (that is, a single one on the station) may now randomly become clogged with mobs, and after an alert, will begin pumping out mobs at a steady rate. The infestation can be fixed by either welding the scrubber shut and waiting for the infestation to clear, or you can use a plunger on the scrubber to clear it manually.
* Advanced tools are medium sized now.
* Moves `w_class` 1 line down
* Moves `w_class` MORE DOWN
* Syndie Jaw pocket edition.
* Toolboxes can carry medium items, pocket syndie jaw in desc.
* Repaths `/obj/item/clothing/mask/animal/rat` to make more sense
It was used as the parent for a lot of other small animal masks simply
because of its flags and a single proc, so i repathed it to
`/obj/item/cltohing/mask/animal/small/...` to make more sense
* adds an updatepaths
* fixes the got damned maps
- All tablets who previously had apps in a cartridge now has them built-into their tablet instead. This means it costs space for it.
- Rebalances the sizes of several apps to help them fit on Command tablets (Cargo ordering costed 20!!)
- Removes tablet cartridges, they've been reworked into a regular old portable disk (the same you use for toxins/borgs)
- Removes Signaller (the module required to run the signaller app) from tablets (likely will remove more in the future)
- Refactors the health/chem scanning app to not be as bad
- Dehardcodes detomatix resistance
- Ability to send PDA's to all is now tied to your access rather than a cartridge
- Moves 'eject disk' button to the very top of the UI
refactors our disease code a tiny bit
removes permeability_coefficient variable from clothing, it decided how much stuff like chems or disease passed through your clothes, while BIO armor only decided how much you could spread diseases yourself, making it pretty much laughable
permeability_coefficient is now fully rolled into bio armor, so your bio protecting stuff will now protect you from other biological hazards like blobs
* Alright, so I'm optimizing parallax code so I can justify making it do a
bit more work
To that end, lets make the checks it does each process event based.
There's two. One is for a difference in view, which is an easy fix since
I added a view setter like a year back now.
The second is something planets do when you change your z level.
This gets more complicated, because we're "owned" by a client.
So the only real pattern we can use to hook into the client's mob's
movement is something like connect_loc_behalf.
So, I've made connect_mob_behalf. Fuck you.
This saves a proc call and some redundant logic
* Fixes random parallax stuttering
Ok so this is kinda a weird one but hear me out.
Parallax has this concept of "direction" that some areas use, mostly
the shuttle transit ones. Set when you move into a new area.
So of course it has a setter. If you pass it a direction that it doesn't
already have, it'll start up the movement animation, and disable normal
parallax for a bit to give it some time to get going.
This var is typically set to 0.
The problem is we were setting /area/space's direction to null in
shuttle movement code, because of a forgotten proc arg.
Null is of course different then 0, so this would trigger a halt in
parallax processing.
This causes a lot of strange stutters in parallax, mostly when you're
moving between nearspace and space. It looks really bad, and I'm a bit
suprised none noticed.
I've fixed it, and added a default arg to the setter to prevent this
class of issue in future. Things look a good bit nicer this way
* Adds animation back to parallax
Ok so like, I know this was removed and "none could tell" and whatever,
and in fairness this animation method is a bit crummy.
What we really want to do is eliminate "halts" and "jumps" in the
parallax moveemnt. So it should be smooth.
As it is on live now, this just isn't what happens, you get jumping
between offsets. Looks frankly, horrible. Especially on the station.
Just what I've done won't be enough however, because what we need to do
is match our parallax scroll speed with our current glide speed. I need
to figure out how to do this well, and I have a feeling it will involve
some system of managing glide sources.
Anyway for now the animation looks really nice for ghosts with default
(high) settings, since they share the same delay.
I've done some refactoring to how old animation code worked pre (4b04f9012d). Two major
changes tho.
First, instead of doing all the animate checks each time we loop over a
layer, we only do the layer dependant ones. This saves a good bit of
time.
Second, we animate movement on absolute layers too. They're staying in
the same position, but they still move on the screen, so we do the same
gental leaning. This has a very nice visual effect.
Oh and I cleaned up some of the code slightly.
Areas.dmi right now houses all of our mapped turfs icons (which is roughly 400 icons). Not an issue, but it's incredibly large and clunky to navigate right now. This isn't an issue for the average coder and/or player code diving, but it is for mappers wanting to add new turfs. Currently, the file has some organization, but its still an overall mess. This PR aims to slice the behemoth with multiple .dmi files corresponding to specific areas.
I also plan to repath /area/* -> /area/station/* for station turf only. This is to clean it up, as most other turfs follow this format (that being /area/turf_zone/*).
I'm also writing an update paths file as I go along.
This PR covers 4 Key features:
Price Rebalancing
Passive Income
Gas Exports
Lathe Tax

# Arconomy Version Two
This is mostly me organizing a long list of thoughts that I'm not sure if I can properly describe and get across, but lets just work with what we got and go from there.
## There should probably be a relationship to time and profit
So, part one of a series called "Arcane was completely wrong about game design", I made a rather large misstep in regards to designing arconomy, and nobody told me this until far, FAR after I had gone way too in on my own ideas:
"There needs to be a relationship between time and money". Because Space Station 13 is a game that is built around rounds, either long, LONG rounds on MRP or 30 min - 1 hour long rounds in LRP, your whole orientation of the game is built around time. The longer you spend in a single round, the more you can do and mold the station and the game in a specific direction, whether it's from an admin event, doing your job, or going off on a wierd character based tangent.
The issue here lies in a question I tried to answer in my previous design doc:
> "Command players start with lots of money, and make mountains of money, and as a result, have so much money by the end of the shift that they're practically immune to the effects of the economy.
> Assistant players start out with practically no money, find that the station is covered in costs that they'll never be able to practically afford, and decide that the economy is stupid and not worth utilizing altogether."
Two fundimentally different outlooks on the same problem, caused by the pay discrepency as it existed originally. Since we have so many different jobs all at different paygrades, the option that made the most sense at the time was to completely remove paychecks alltogether because they would multiplicitively exacerbate the previous issue.
While it would flood the in-game economy over time at high levels, it did add a sense of timescale to the existing in-game relationships. You **KNEW** that after x many minutes you would get that fancy hat, or that you would need to find cash in other ways to get it. Having that time-scale is helpful as we've moved to our 90 minute round average/goal. It also, similarly, means that we know exactly how many credits each job SHOULD have had access to before a major disaster calls for a shuttle call. But, in hindsight, that is a value that should be consistant for all players. If a single, unaided player looks at a 200 credit bill, that should have the same impact player to player, and not limit their access to jobs.
## Bounties just ain't that fun, but they stand to see improvement from where they are now
So, guilty as charged, bounty running doesn't quite have the same charm as it used to have. For our friends just joining us, cargo used to have a single, per round laundry list of items that would payout to the cargo budget each shift. Each list would start with 10 items, one of which would randomly be assigned higher priority with a higher payout, and it would be cargo's job to ~~Break into each department and steal that thing~~ cooperate with jobs around the station to aquire funds for station crisis or when you just want to dick around and make stacks of cash. This had a distinct charm to it, but one element of it that majorly reduced the replayability of bounties was that they were severely limited in scope. Once you did your ONE drink bounty or your ONE chemical bounty, you no longer needed to interact with that department.
My original goal was this: Make an unlimited bounty system, where crewmates were able to get a cut of their work as profit. To a degree, it's fairly successful! Crew do have a way to actively work with cargo to get paid for their labor, and they help cargo as a result by giving them free valuables. The issue lies in the fact that this has kinda flipped the relationship on it's head: Bounties stopped being cargo's job to outsource to the crew, and instead the crew's job that becomes dependent on cargo.
In general, many bounties simply weren't meant to be repeatable content in the first place. And certainly not meant to be used for every job. Offloading it as a kind of fetchquest minigame so that all jobs can offset the loss of passive income? It's not the best choice. For jobs like botanists or scientists it's tolerable at best, frustrating at worst. Just look at the state of things like experisci-slime experiments or scanning furniture.
It gets far worse when it's from the perspective of jobs that have *explicitly* limited supplies like security. No, a security player is not going to be allowed to haul away all the good metal handcuffs from the brig for a bounty, and no, you cannot take all the riot shotguns from the brig.
Now, a few of these things were fixed over time, with mixed successes. Bounties started to be cleaned up in order to prevent limited quantity items from being an option for repeat bounties. Jobs that lack exports started to get some content for still allowing them to have repeatable exports (Like the Scanners for Security Officers to go on patrols).
The BIG EXCEPTION to this is Restaurant Bots, but we'll hit that in a second.
## Getting everything on the same price scale has been a major improvement.
Unironically one of the best changes made has been the idea that even if we lack that good time-credit scale from before, we didn't really have a "standard" to work off of when something new is added to the game and the dev needs to determine how much to make that thing cost. That's why the current costs of objects and values on-station are scaled off of a single define, the value of a crate sold on the cargo shuttle.
> Yes, I'd like an APPLE. It's worth 3124151 CREDITS. NO, I don't know why the apple juice in the vendor is worth 415 CREDITS, nor do I CARE, GOOD MAN.
From the back end, everything is scaled off the same define now. Paygrades are defined off of a different scale still, but that's fine. You know, from the cargo end of things, that a cargo player needs to ship off X number of empty metal crates to purchase a laser crate, or a pizza crate. Definate relationships help in solidifying the singular value of a product.
If we decide that we want to rescale the in-game economy and provide space credits with more granularity, at least we know we can do it with a single line of code, and not looking at every single instance of something that charges the player money.
### Arconomy Tangent: We gotta nuke gas selling.
This has been a long time coming and I know people are going to be upset at me, but look man.
I have no idea how selling moles of gas works these days. It seems like with minimal resources, true atmos wizards are able to make singular cans of gasses with infinite moles of some kind of gas, and if it's exotic enough, they can make upwards of a million credits a can. I've seen multiple occasions where selling gas cans to cargo has allowed for players to buy a bike.
For our Gen-Z zoomers reading this, players were never meant to BUY the bike. The bike is just a reskinned scooter meant as a cute little pokemon joke. If a player can actually buy a bike in a round, that's a sign that someone, somewhere, fucked up.
We fucked up the whole system with atmos gas selling.
We've now gone through metas of extracting miasma from lavaland for credits, we've gone through a meta where cargo starts building their own hydrogen burn chambers for simply produced gasses, we've seen time and time again that processed gasses in the funny space simulator just tends to be abused to death and back. I've had talks with TheFinalPotato on this in the past, and it just feels like a system that would need to be rewritten from the ground up, or looked at in terms of the whole cargo department. If I don't get to it first, the next cargo design doc someone writes **SHOULD**.
## Giving jobs content that integrates into the economy can be really fun.
Tourism bots and the baked in ingredient shopping is fun! It's enabled for a fluff job that doesn't have too terribly much by way of serious responsibilites to integrate active income minigames into the gameplay of chefs and bartenders. It's fully optional, it's quick, and it's not even a full shift investment.
These secondary tasks, which utilize jobs core gameplay loops in a new way, while rewarding them within the in-game economy are a decent way to keep players engaged with their jobs, and allow for them to use credits as a player resource as well as a primary job resource.
**I AM NOT SAYING** that all jobs need to find tasks to arbitrarily reward players with credits for. The reason it works so well for jobs like the chef or bartender is because their job is already to make food and drinks, but they have so many options that they're not encouraged to make too wide of a variety of food, especially when botanists won't always make everything you need. The food market gives them an outlet to buy outlier ingredients and the tourists pay handsomely enough that you can offset your costs most or the time.
I'll break this down as well into the three different methods of money-making in game as well, to guide someone on how to make good, secondary income content.
| Primary | Secondary | Tertiary |
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
| This is something like passive paycheck income. You get this just purely for playing the game, and staying alive. | This is an active trade off between your job's specific content, where you are trading your time for something it is directly your responsibility to do. Eg. Tourist Bots. | An active task you are performing for income, but lacks the specialization of a job. EG. Bounties. |
Jobs that excell at more service based tasks and less production based tasks should aim to aquire more seconary style economy integration, like medical, science, or security.
## The options for moving money around the station are actually pretty decent, but could be streamlined
Bounty boards are pretty decent at being a way to pay crew members for single service jobs. However, bounty boards are pretty much dead content, in a sense. There's not much incentive to hunt down your department's bounty board.
Similarly, most crew would just prefer to hand credits out by hand to prevent most kinds of abuse of their own credit supply.
Long term and certainly a major personal outcome I'd like to see: Bounty boards and Newscasters should be merged together. Newscasters have some truely awful spaghetti and their being held together by shoe-strings and duct tape (This is slang for HTML). Bounty boards are... well they're functional, but they have the benefit of being built in TGUI. Merging the two's functions should cut down on wall-space, as well as improve the quality of a vast deal of code, and make money transfer on station slightly easier.
Honestly, pretty happy with vend-a-trays. They're pretty decent store-machines on station and do their job pretty well when they get used. All in all I'm happy with how they work.
Custom Vendors are clunky to a fairly major degree and I don't think most players get how to make them work on account of need a price tagger (not a sales tagger, that's the cargo item) to mark an object for it's sale value, then load it into a custom vendor sales unit, then load it into a custom vending machine, and that's only IF custom vending machines decide to work this year. Streamlining the tools, or perhaps just vending machines would certainly improve this as a service.
## Just ain't enough cool stuff to buy with credits.
An ever-present problem, that we're just kinda stuck with. There's a decent number of issues involved with making content that can safely be gated with just credits.
* If it's usable as a weapon, is it too dangerous to hand out to the crew at large?
* Does security get potential oversight?
* If it's illegal, does it go through cargo?
* Does it HAVE to go through cargo?
* If it's beneficial, is it going to invalidate the existance of a job? (Think old medkits!)
* Is there anything that players WANT that's not a weapon, benefical to the station but not too strong, or quite literally traitor equipment?
It's a tough question.
Some items make complete sense to implement on a per job basis as either uncommon or premium equipment, while other items could potentially be moved to station-wide unique purchasables.
# Takeaways:
Look, these are just some possible solutions that I'm considering. I think that working alongside a maintainer who could actually give a damn on getting this system orderly and possibly alligned with our current design philosophy (Who also understands that a not-insignificant amount of current economy was abitrarly written by goofball an actual decade ago) could help iron this out into a clear and consise set of goals and milestones to make the in-game economy workable. Not balanced, but workable.
* **Design a simple simulation for per round intake and outtake, to determine benchmark values for a 90 minute round.**
It would need to look something like this, as a kind of fucked up, Multi-Input Multi-Output Control Problem. Possibly could be done in simulink, but I'm not quite sure how to do that at this moment, so a less complex version might be fine.
* **Look back at implementing crewmember incomes, but at a flat, more consistant rate over all jobs**
My leading idea: 50 credit, uniform paygrade. No wild, unscaled pay rates based on what job is "important" or not.
That line of thinking means that certain jobs should have more expensive equipment over other jobs, but then we're right back to the captain thinking that a cup of coffee is practically free where an assistant thinks that a screwdriver from the vendor is going to put them out of house and home.
Improves time-relationship values with credits.
This could lead way to heads of staff having some degree of control to giving raises or paycuts to crew-members, but perhaps at a very, VERY gradual rate.
* **Perform another big-picture look at bounty cubes.**
Potentially try to put bounties back in the hands of cargo, while still providing payouts to crewmates who assist in completing jobs. This may require some minor refactoring of the pricetag component, perhaps to even allow for multiple crewmembers to recieve profit from a payout.
This means once again, look at making bounties workable for all jobs on the station, not making the objects requested literal lathe-fodder, and finding ways to benefit the station in some way with the task of bounty cubes, even if it's just for credits.
Deceptively hard task.
* **Add secondary tasks that integrate the economy into non-bounty-able jobs/departments**
Like it says on the tin, look into ways to add content that improves economy integration into existing jobs, without necessarily changing what those jobs DO. The bounties for those jobs can still exist as a tertiary thing, but should be made clear that they're... tertiary.
Chefs still make food and bartenders still serve drinks, but they have a way to hand them out for fun and profit.
Some thoughts and ways to handle this potentially:
*Science:* Perform intricate testing on anomalous materials using science equipment. Should NOT REWARD RESEARCH POINTS. Mr. OJ Headcoder will CHEMICALLY CASTRATE me, or you, if you do.
*Medical:* Complete tricky or non-standard surgeries on dummies for medical data. Think like that meme from the TV show, House.
"He needs Mouse bites to live. MORE MOUSE BITES."
*Engineering:* Repair wacky machines that use both station-standard parts as well as solving quick puzzles.
* **Look into more effective money sinks that are dynamic sensitive**
Think, for example, about the station ransom event that spawns space pirates.
What if instead of the captain just dumping credits from the cargo budget into the aether to prevent pirate spawns (They're bugged anyway to my knowledge to spawn anyway), crewmates had to cough up that dough before a time-limit, or risk a pirate spawn. For those of you who were scratching their heads at (Operational Costs!?) in the above controls diagram, this is the sort of thing I mean.
Little, smaller things that might need to be purchased, invested in, or otherwise drain credits from the station over the course of the round.
# Arconomy 2.0: Smarter, Better, Flashier.
## Roundstart
Players begin each shift with a set amount of money, with the value being mostly uniform over the course of a shift assuming no interaction with economy. Jobs are split up into only 3 paygrades, Minimal, Crew, and Command. Minimal is reserved for jobs that are meant to fill population counts but lack a specialization, like prisoner and assistant. When starting the shift, a player will start with 5 paychecks worth of savings. This system is not designed for persistance, so you will always be able to tell how much money a player starts out with. Every 5 minutes, aka every economy tick, the player will recieve one paycheck, which is capped out at the standard crew member paycheck. This means that even if you start the shift as the captain, and begin the shift with 500 credits, you will recieve the same 50 credits as regular crew members.
| Minimal Paycheck | Crew Paycheck | Command Paycheck | Frequency |
| -------- | -------- | -------- |--------|
| 125 Cr | 250 Cr | 500 Cr | Roundstart |
| 25 Cr | 50 Cr | 50 Cr | Passive Income |
## Product Prices
Products found in vending machines are defined by the amount of a player's paycheck they're meant to cost. Regular items use the PAYCHECK_CREW value, while more expensive or otherwise prohibitive items are defined by PAYCHECK_COMMAND. Items are defined in this uniform, horizontal fashion in order to maintain the equal value of credits over all jobs. A 100 credit medkit in medical should have the same value to a doctor as it does to a botanist.
Jobs apply a discount to vending within their own department, so an engineering would have a discount on tools, and a doctor would have a discount on sutures. Items that are important to gameplay progression in a role are less expensive to their intended users.
> **AUTHORS NOTE:** I am considering removing in-department discounts. In the benefit of making the value of purchasables more universal, deciding that credits shouldn't be spent within their own department just seems... rather fucking stupid.
> Possibly move the discount to only the first few minutes of the shift, or perhaps as some kind of gameplay benefit to slowly increase in-department discount through gameplay milestones? Who knows 👻
>
Some jobs have premium, high value items stocked in their vending machines that are not meant to be purchased at roundstart. These are meant to encourage players to save or combine resources to gain access. An example of this is insulated gloves. Other high value items can also be found in contraband through hacking vending machines. This remains unchanged.
## Markets
The cargo department has been changed in order to improve player involvement with the economy, as well as to give cargo more variety in their merchandise while preventing a singular stale meta of products to purchase from.
Yes, I'm looking at you, russian surplus crate.
Lets start with what's remaining the same:
* Cargo is a department that manages imports and exports of products, fulfilling departmental orders, and aquiring supplies dependent on the station's state.
* Cargo encompasses the station's mail, mining, and flow of orders, as well as drone exploration.
* A skilled cargo member is able to find high value items to sell back to centcom in exchange for more funds, to purchase those supplies.
* Centcom may request bounties which crew can fulfill in exchange for credits, if they wish for additional work.
**Now for the new design flow:**
Cargo starts out with a new mechanic called a market. Markets hold existing export datums as well as purchasable products. The values of items will fluxuate up and down based on the market status, with in-game events or player actions raising or lowering the values of specific markets.
At roundstart, cargo has a single market to sell to, which is Nanotransen. This will not incapsulate all the existing export datums in the game, just the *primary* exports that are used by players. Items that are exclusive to nanotrasen and required to play certain game modes, like mindshield implants or being able to sell crates, are included and will always be available to purchase.
Additional markets can be unlocked through gameplay sources, such as:
| Market Name | Source | Imports/Exports |
| -------- | -------- |- |
| The Syndicate | Emagging/Hacking the Console | Illegal Goods/Contraband |
| The Clown Planet Commerse | Discovering the clown planet ruin | Pies, Horns, Pranking Equipment |
|Terragov Sector Security Surplus | Killing any megafauna. | Weapons, Ammunition, Advanced Riot Gear. |
| Mekki Materials Co. | Recovered loot from Exodrones | Materials and industrial equipment. |
|Donk Co.| As a tip from tourist robots. | Foods and Drinks, Toys and Games.|
|Waffle Co.| As above. | Bootleg products and wacky merchandise. |
|The Research Consortium| Reward for completing any experiment tree. | Slime Cores, RnD Artifacts, Robotics Equipment |
...And more, if I can think of more.
The purpose being, of course, to split up cargo's purchasable goods to be more instanced and unique, while also create unique situations where due to profitable markets, very specific exports are needed to help the department make money.
End of document for now :@ArcaneMusic
-- END DOCUMENT
Price Shifting
So, in-game items that have prices have a major issue on their hands, being that they were decided by how much money that job should make. This means that many of the jobs in-game have been given prices scaled to their job's income. That income I adjusted by removing passive income in #54161. While this was helpful to moving towards an active in-game economy, it resulted in items falling into distinct price brackets. A high paying job like security's items could never be purchased by someone like a botanist, but a job like a security officer had more capital and buying power than most other jobs in-game combined when moving down those brackets. We've done a simple normalization of scale to help in bring things closer to a semblance of equality.
There are now 3 price brackets, PAYCHECK_LOW, PAYCHECK_CREW, and PAYCHECK_COMMAND. Command staff will still have a higher base level of money on-hand than other crew, and low paying wages that we on-station don't respect as being real jobs (assistant, prisoner) will have their items be intentionally cheaper to encourage active participation in the economy, but the difference in scale is now noticeably far closer to each other. This means that assistants can still interact with the economy as spenders, but if they want to be doing a lot of work with money, they'll need to put in work. Additionally, this means we arbitrarily enforce a system that allows for items to have uniformity in what they cost to other players. 50 credits for a wrench feels better when you know that other job critical items in-game are also around the same price, and it's equivalent to one paycheck.
Paychecks are reintroduced
Economy lost it's relationship to time. In a game where a single round takes 90+ minutes (Backed up not only by the head-coder's design direction as well as plenty of aggregate round data), having a relationship to time and how long it takes to afford something is a major consideration when you look at buying something. Also, we get to say that I was certifiably wrong in regards to the active economy thing, since we have very, VERY few active sources of content in-game that are very... fun? Bounties are literal fetch quests but something like tourists is at least more engaging and interactive with the round, and should be the direction we want economy-job integration to head in.
Between having inflation as a price manipulation mechanic already in the code, as well as prices being roughly equalized in terms of their costs between jobs and their impact on the round, this allows for the reintroduction of paychecks to an extent.
As an additional note, doing this meant tweaking down the syndicate briefcase of cash, so that instead of giving you 5000 credits for 1 TC, it now costs 5 TC to accompany the fact that this is now a rather significant amount of money, even on decently high population. Fun fact: the Syndicate Briefcase of Cash actually PREDATES the economy, and was NEVER ADJUSTED beyond the original implementation of the economy as a result!
Gas Exports.
ALRIGHT ARE YOU READY FOR SOME GRAPHS? I THOUGHT SO, YOU LOVE GRAPHS.
So, gas exports are fucked, have always been fucked, and consistently have proven to be capable of breaking the in-game economy for a long time. This is no secret, I've been pinged with players getting billions, actual billions of credits using it multiple times in as many years. See, any round where a player manages to buy the bicycle is a round where I've fucked up, or someone fucked and I let it get past me.
So here's how gas exports work right now.
So, all of this hinges on the value of a single mole of gas, and some gasses enable you to make extremely, EXTREMELY profitable gasses through atmospheric gas wizardry However, even those less profitable gasses are still in an extremely high magnitude of value.
Most gasses if you have a full can of it will net you OVER 10k credits. For scale, one crate being sold in cargo is 200 credits.
That's a minimum of crates for pumping gas into a hollow metal box and praying it doesn't explode.
So we adjusted the values accordingly.
The baseline value of a single gas has been tweaked downward significantly. Even these values are still arguably very high, but I can play with it at the discretion of LemonintheDark. The green line at the top represents gasses that previously sold for 100 credits per mole, antinobilium I believe, and working downwards. I am going to try and enforce 10 credits per mole as the absolute maximum hard cap on gas exports, regardless of how many gasses we try to add in the future. Because the alternative is getting a gunjillion credits by huffing miasma into a tank of steel. And we ain't having that shit.
Lathe Tax
Part of the testing for this PR involved me modeling the SS13 economy in a given round as a kind of controls problem, with each source of income introduced in the round as a kind of input (Passive Income, Bounties, Tourists) in order to get a handle on roughly how much income a single round of SS13 will see per player on the given designed round-length, in order to estimate how much things are going to cost. Modeling how much players spend on a given round is variable enough that it'd be too difficult to accurately test without just throwing this up on a server and getting live data.
However, from the appearance of my dataset, players would be making a LOT more money nowadays with all of the above changes implemented. In an attempt to curve that intake, I attempted to implement a small, low scale tax of printing items that would take a small amount of players income every time they print, as a way to add a basic economic side-effect to this mechanic.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a mixed decision. So, maintainers came up with an intended direction they want to see it, as they wanted to make sure that economy would remain a secondary system, that could still have an impact on round direction and the changes they want to see in the game.
So, here's the intent:
Lathe tax should exist in the form of printing things from protolathes outside of your department, not on autolathes or your own protolathe.
We want to promote people talking and collaborating to access things if it's outside the scope of their department and they still want it, with theft still being a viable avenue of gameplay.
Players will be charged 10 credits for printing a set of items not from their own protolathe, each. Printing an item can be paid for from your own ID card's bank account automatically, but the payment component has been buffed to handle physical money alternatives, as well as pulled money, similar to the luxury shuttle scanner gate's behavior.
Borgs are still enabled to print from lathes, however instead of it costing them credits, they now take a self-significant power cost in order to do so, preventing them from being used as a roving bank account for printing. I'll look into this further as we don't want to invalidate mechanics like borgs being able to do organ based surgery or building machinery, but we don't want them to become credit cards, so place that under advisement.
Tweaks and Updates:
(Suggested by Ziiro) If the revolutionaries win, centcom will no longer enforce the Lathe Tax.
(Suggested by about ~1000 people independently between my DMs, Reddit threads, the Feedback Thread, and elsewhere)
Printing items only taxes you once per print. EG: If you print 10 Kitchen Knifes as an assistant from the service lathe, you will only be charged once instead of 10 times.
For many of the reasons that I outlined above, this is a good change in a positive direction.
Players get more ability to interact with the economy without having to do content that's becoming increasingly depreciated in my absence.
Players also have a baseline consensus on what values of credits are high and low because jobs have been given an equalized standard in regards to the cost of certain items.
Price fluctuations through inflation will now be more meaningful in situations where the economy becomes more relevant.
The system will still encourage you to play a job that's productive to the status of the station through lower paycheck jobs existing as well.
Gas exports are now reduced to the point that their value is appropriate for the first time... actually ever. Nice.
The values of nearly every item purchasable by players has been rebalanced.
Players will now start with less starting money, but will receive a paycheck once every 5 minutes.
The value of gasses exported through the cargo department have been skewed way, WAY down in terms of price.
The Syndicate briefcase of cash now contains now costs 5 TC, up from 1 TC, for 5000 credits.
Printing items from lathes on station now costs a fee of 10 credits per item printed if it's from a lathe not under your department.
The payment component has received additional handling for physical credits, as well as pulled credits/ID cards for those without hands.
Converts PDA functions and applications over to modular tablets and devices, namely the messaging function. HREF data code is quite honestly clunky and difficult to work with, as I've definitely experienced whilst working on this. By moving from this system over the easier to read (and frankly, easier to add to) TGUI system, you get cleaner looking and more user friendly UIs and a greater degree of standardization amongst other UIs.

This refactors the antimagic component to use and have bitflags, documentation, defines, code comments, named arguments, and renames variable names for clarity.
- /obj/effect/proc_holder/spell/aoe_turf/conjure/creature/cult is not used anywhere and has been removed
- /obj/effect/proc_holder/spell/targeted/turf_teleport/blink/cult is not used anywhere and has been removed
- New sound effects are played when magic is blocked. Depending on the type of magic being used it will be either:
- Equipping antimagic now properly updates the magic buttons
- Any magic being blocked or restricting casting now displays a message
- MAGIC_RESISTANCE_MIND now properly blocks telepathy effects
- Removes blood splatter when fireball is blocked
- Magic projectiles for staff of locker no longer spawn lockers when blocked by antimagic
- Fire breath is no longer blocked by antimagic
- Spellcards are now blocked by antimagic
Any antimagic on a mob blocks that magic type from being casted. (certain spells such as mime abilities completely ignore antimagic)
- Foilhats prevent someone from casting mind magic (telepathy, mindswap, etc.)
- Bibles, ritual Totems, nullrods, holymelons, and TRAIT_HOLY prevent someone from casting unholy magic (cult spells, etc.)
- Nullrods, ritual totem, and holymelons prevent someone from casting wizard magic (fireball, magic missile, etc.)
- Immorality talismans, berserker suits, and TRAIT_ANTIMAGIC prevents all types of magic (except stuff like mime abilities)
- Touch of Madness and Mindswap is now blocked with MAGIC_RESISTANCE and MAGIC_RESISTANCE_MIND
- Voice of god is now blocked with MAGIC_RESISTANCE_HOLY and MAGIC_RESISTANCE_MIND
Hey there,
Look over here:
This is so awfully undescript that anyone who doesn't map doesn't "get" that this is supposed to be a donut box. It also doesn't help if you're trying to position stuff on a table around a donut box, and you want stuff to look pretty without having to compensate for an unknown variable (only known when you compile).
So, I made a composite icon of both the inner and outer shells of the box, and set that for the icon_state in the donut box's code. It uses base_icon_state to generate the donuts being filled into the box, and when I tested it on local, everything still worked as intended.
I'm adding a new Traitor Final objective where you basically get a DNA scanner, that can only scan animals, but can mutate you into a space dragon when you inject yourself with Space Carp DNA.
There's been negative opinions about both Romerol and Battlecruiser, one of these criticisms is that they are the only two there are. I'd like to add more so there's more variety to it.
I also like this as it adds a way for Space Dragons to be player-spawned, I've already shown my distaste for midround ghost antagonists, as I feel they reward people for doing nothing, with a murderbone antag. Not that this solves any of my problems, but I can rest somewhat happier knowing there's a way for non-ghosts to get an antag like Space dragon. (It's why I really loved Blob infection's addition)

* Adds two suits and one hat based on moth lore and culture, available at the clothesmate. They are set up with GAGS and can be freely recolored
* Adds one curator bundle based on construction, themed after moth engineers. It gives a few tools, materials, and a suit with hidden pockets
Pyro bundle was broken as when you brought it you would get modsuit and pyro backpack forcing you to either use armor or use backpack without fire protection(which modsuit has). Thanks to Fikou work it became a module
Anti-Tider on the other hand is rarely used(i have never seen it used when i was playing sec or observing) and needed a little buff so now it will also became a module while i will make normal Anti-Tider stream wider(still working on it).

Cargo Changes
Cargo has had all WT-550's removed and replaced with Thermal Pistols.
Cargo can now order Thermal Pistols, a kind of energy/ballistic hybrid weapon shooting chunks of altered nanites into people. We couldn't use them in people, so maybe we'll use them as bullets! Magma/Ice bullets, to be exact.
You can, after paying a whopping 4K on a goodie pack (you have to pay from your own personal account) buy a .38 revolver. This is mostly to help some poor detective who lost their revolve in what I'm sure will be an inevitable scramble for ballistics. If even the 4K pricetag isn't enough, at least it requires detective access to open the pack...I hope.
Some of the crates that contained autorifle related items have been changed/removed.

Science Changes
Ballistic Weaponry node no longer exists, and has been replaced with Exotic Ammo as both the pre-requisite to other nodes, as well as being able to be researched as soon as the Weaponry node is unlocked and not Advanced Weaponry.
Thermal Pistols
-Fairly average bullet statistics; 10 AP but shooting into Energy armor. 20 damage (Brute for cryo, Burn for inferno). Decent wounding potential, but individually much lower ammo counts than lasers.
-Bought in twinned pairs in a two gun holster (just for normal sized energy guns). They're normal sized.
-Each gun has 8 shots (thereabouts). 16 between two.
-Cryo pistols do a knockdown and extra damage against extremely hot targets. Inferno pistols do an explosion cantered on the target against extremely cold targets.
-The guns are EMP-proof.
Why It's Good For The Game
The current gameplay loop of crew combatants is them relying on backup and retreating as necessary to reload their weapons during fights. The ability to repeatedly harry opponents in the field reloads is something that should be moved away from for crew equipment, as it emphasizes lone wolf tactics and one-man army problems, with boxes full of spare ammo usually allowing any single combatant to outlast multiple foes. In addition, ballistics often are not subject to the same (interesting) limitations of energy weapons, so they're typically a no-brainer choice. We shouldn't have such an easy choice be readily available like that.
The thermal pistols present a more challenging weapon to use as a solo combatant but become far more versatile and potent when paired with a decent buddy and basic level co-ordination. They're not a straightforward choice for every situation, but instead are a weapon employed given the right circumstances for them to shine.
In addition to the gameplay issues that ballistics pose, we're in a goddamn spacegame. Unless the ballistics are noticeably weird (they're not), we should expect that our more advanced research station has some pretty odd guns of the energy variety.

attacking an autolathe with a trash bag will now attempt to insert the items inside the trash bag to the autolathe, similar to trash bag to disposal bin.
Replaces a bunch of tool behavior checks in attackby to instead use the respective procs.
For instance, the behavior under a if(I.tool_behaviour == TOOL_SCREWDRIVER) check in attackby() will instead be found under that same object's screwdriver_act() proc. This is the first of a few PRs that I'd like to make to address this, since there's going to be a lot of code shuffled around.
This shouldn't have any impact on players, though some super observant folks might notice that they don't bash some items with tools when they meant to interact with them. I've tested all of these in game and they seem to still have the same behavior as before.
The toolbox sprites have been moved from the regular icon folder to the goon folder.
Why It's Good For The Game
The toolbox sprites that we currently use originally came from Goon, and were ported over by @dannno (#23938).
Therefore, they belong in the goon folder, where they won't possibly be confused for a CC-BY-SA licensed asset.
I have no clue who made the original toolbox sprites on Goon (If someone who does know happens to read this, please let me know so i can give them proper credit), but i do know that dannno made another PR that modified them to how they look today (#24001).
* Adds a subsystem to handle automated directional movement, replaces all instances of walk_towards with it. Makes meteors and immovable rods not drift in space, and makes immovable rods more destructive. Note, I've opted not to use byond's method of moving towards something, which is effectively Move(src, get_step(src, get_dir(src, target))) as it's cringe and doesn't make a smooth line. I've replaced it with a autoupdating rise over run setup, read the code for more details
* woop forgot the subsystem
* Documentation, contributing.md entry, and some cleanup
* Makes the moveloop datum more oop friendly, sets us up for a lot of conversions
* Converts the curseblob and walk_away() to the subsystem
* Changes the default for override from FALSE to TRUE
* converts walk() over, still need to add a replacement proc for it, but we didn't actually have anything that used the raw proc
* converts the rest of walk_to() over, nearing the end now
* cleans up some errors
* Fully documents everything, fills in some missing movement types, uses the power of oop to make things cleaner, and typepaths longer
* Finishes the contributing.md stuff
* Done
* Fefaults -> Defaults, can you tell I wrote this at 1AM?
* resolves bubblegum issues
* Roh's suggestions
Co-authored-by: Rohesie <rohesie@gmail.com>
* Cleanup
* Hey lemon, did you know that Destroy() lives on datums? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
* Converts over the discrepencies created in my absense
* HAHA FUCK YOU I PAY MY DUES
* Whoops lost some stuff in the merge
* Converts the system from seconds to deciseconds to make dealing with the api more sane
* Some stuff I missed
* Makes movement an inheritable subsystem type, splits the moveloop file into two, one for the subsystem, and one for the datums
* Makes a subsystem that handles directing movers out to other subsystems. It's a bit bad right now, but it's a
good first step. I think I'll move the move loop datum to a lazy var on mobs instead of an assoc list, don't
like lists.
Also makes the movement procs global, I'll move em to the /movement subsystem at some point or something like
that
* Converts the existing uses of the procs over to the new format
* Adds support for subsystem precedence, so a type of A can override type B.
General cleanup, still kinda in debug mode but it's getting better
* I'll admit I'm not too familiar with this, but I think it will work
* Adds starting logic so movement types "pausing" makes any sense
Redoes how waiting is handled to make it based on world.time directly. I don't remember why. I think it's better
this way.
Adds a drifting movement type, moves space drift over to it.
Needs severe work before it's ready, too much info stored and modified on the moving object, see comment
Starts work on making drifting smooth
* Moves almost all space drifting vars over to signals on the movement datum
Properly implements glide size stuff for both the subsystem and the loops. Space drift will be smoother now.
It's not perfect, but it'll work just fine for now
Adds a way to override a client'd mob's glide size mid move, uses it to make entering a spacedrift look right
Adds a way to delay a client move outside of just move_delay, meant to be used for long periods, and setup such
that it doesn't make inputs persist
Adds flags to movement loops, alongside MOVELOOP_OVERRIDE_CLIENT_CONTROL, which blocks client movements while
the loop is firing, and for it's visual delay after
This means you can't exit a space drift until you hit the actual wall. This feels a lot better
Some general logic stuff, move() will return true/false if it succeeded or failed
Adds a stop_loop() proc that's called when a move loop is no longer active
Suck my nuts
* Moves precedence to the loop instead of the subsystem
* Moves drifting into a component, this lets me explictly block input after the move loop ends, so people can't
move the moment they functionally move onto a new tile
This is a bit underdeveloped currently, but that's a problem for another day
Cleans up some uses of move procs, fixes runtimes in metoer and curseblob code
Adds signals for stopping/starting a move loop, sending one for destroy is redundant.
Moves existing event signals from the movable being acted on to the loop itself, makes more sense this way
Makes the move handler return the created loop up the chain so we can register to it
Fixes a logic error in loop contesting code that lead to loops never actually being removed from subsystems
because they didn't know they should be.
Properly changes lifetime from a time to stop, to functionally an amount of moves to complete before stopping
Adds some new signals for pre/post loop process. This is to better tie into components.
I decided I didn't like the idea of tying all functionality to the loops themselves
The loop decides functionally how to move, components or just tied in signals can decide when/when not to move
and can modify properties of the loop
Making a new loop for things like atmos drift, something I'm interested in tackling in the future, seemed silly
* Moves movement procs directly to the subsystem for better namespacing or whatever
* Moves movement packets onto /atom/movable, no longer need the debugging
I've decided to not just put their contents fully onto atom movable, since it makes debugging on live much
harder, can't sdql for them anymore.
Fixes a runtime in meteor code, properly this time
Fixes a logic error in stop_looping
Makes move manager NO_INIT, because well, it doesn't init
* Commits human sin, makes Recover() work properly for movement subsystems
* Fixes immovable rod orbits not always working, they were returning too early in moved and fucking up the var we use to track move count, and thus not sending a signal properly
* Reworks the curseblob to use signals more, and to not use override
* Missed this in the movement ss commit
* Removes override, makes having a higher or equal precedence take its place
* Updates documentation
* Cleans up some unused defines
* Nukes the unused flags option
* Whoops forgot to qdel check
* Removes an unused var I had for client move prevention before I started using a component
* Let's do this properly
* Modernizes meteor code to better match how explosions actually work currently
* Some more cleanup
* Cleans up effect code a little bit
Nukes the effect system's sleep loop, we use movement loops instead
As a part of that, instead of 1 timer per effect spawned, we react to loop failure and make it 1 timer per
effect system
This should reduce the amoumt of slowdown we see after mass lighting break
It's not everything, we're still making a timer per spark effect, but it cuts things down significantly
* Updates explosions to not sleep
* Adds support for modifying a loops delay post process, makes extinguisher code suck less then it does currently, nukes some more sleeps and timer loops
* Converts water tank resin over to move loops rather then sleeps, minor behavior change mind, the cooldown starts on fire rather then on land, but I think that makes more sense anyway
* compile and runtime fix
* Fixes some runtimes, cleans up some code, ensures feature parity when it comes to logging
* Prevents resin foam from space drifting
* Adds support for flags back into the system, I need it for reasons
* Updates move_towards to fix some bugs and resolve some inconsistent behavior, implements a flag that makes a loop's first move start instantly
* Fixes extinguishers not actually transfering any reagents
* Converts sprays to the new system. This does actually minorly change behavior, in that I've changed the order of spray actions from step -> sleep -> wash to step -> wash -> sleep, but I'm not terribly torn up about it because frankly I think it feels better
* Converts grav catapults over to the new system
* Converts trays over to moveloops
* Converts robot streaking to move loops, the other two coming soon
* Compile you won't. Also fixes a behavior issue with oil streaks
* Does directional step_to properly, cleans up the other two streaking types
* Converts step_trigger over, not that it's actually used anywhere. Changes how stoping a move works, you need to explicitly qdel, other the step is just considered to be ignored. This will make life easier later
* Adds a jps movement loop. It's a bit bloaty, id is stupid, but it'll work just fine
* Makes the system support passing in a datum that's just used as extra context for the move. The hope is this makes signalizing things less of an absolute headache
* Begins the conversion of ai movement datums to movement loops
* These two are reasonably simple, only weird thing I'm doing is A: Not allowing target hotswapping, which I hope none is doing, and B: passing the controller into the move loop as extra context so things work properly
* JPS is a bit more complex, partially because the old implementation was a bit weird. 2 major things. 1: I'm dropping what I think was a redundant behavior minimum distance check from the premove bit of logic, since I'm pretty sure it didn't do anything. 2, instead of just stoping the step in an error state like being pulled, we count it against our max move total
* Audit
* Moves most forced movement to the framework, adds some components to make things nicer
* Implements a flag that makes the loop always operate, regardless of precedence and without impacting any other loops
* Moves movement subsystems into the right folder
* Hey potato what if you had two procs that did the same thing and one called the other? Wow it's useless
* Merges slipping and force movement
* Converys conveyors over to the system. It's a bit fragile, but I think it's totally worth it to save the sleep loop
* Precedence -> Priority, cleans up some logic errors, makes priority highest to lowest instead of lowest to highest, straight cleans some code up
* Makes poly and bubbles ignore spacedrift, now that precedence actually functions properly. I'm likely missing cases of this, will deal with it later
* Depression, thy name is linter
* Fixes linter, and hopefully fixes the runtimes in ci too
* Wew
* Sets sprays and extinguishers back to legacy, since people do actually seem to have noticed
* Spelling errors my beloved

* More detail, moves return descriptions
* Converts transit tubes to the system?
* Adds the glide size modifier. Not honestly sure that this should be default, considering how crummy it makes things look for normal walking, but it's useful as hell here
* Adds a force move in dir template, actual support for fast initial steps (wtf old me) and a helper proc for setting delay
* Cleans up displosal code a bit, I thought about adding it to the system but it would functionally be just 'disposal loops'. Maybe I'll make a template subtype? not sure how I want to handle stuff like this
* Cleans up mob movement a bit
* Let's use the controller's visual delay
* Makes the resin thrower nicer, cries
* Cleans up some comments, replaces an implicit world.icon_size with an explicit one, fixes up a typecheck
* typecache instead of double istype. Can't do much about the !atom/movable, list would be too big I feel
* hhh
* bro wtf
* Documents the why of SS_TICKER
* Puts SSmovement on SS_TICKER. Lets us support tick steps
* Cleans up the charge action. Makes it use moveloops
* Fixes CI? kinda worried that this just got dropped
* Converts disposal pipes to move loops. They stutter a bit more then usual as of now, hoping that's a me thing, if it's not I'ma look at uping the priority of the base subsystem
* Moves the move subsystems off background, puts some on ssticker
* Prevents some things that shouldn't move in space from moving in space
* Documents the general form and usage of the system
* Virgin one vs chad once
Co-authored-by: Kylerace <kylerlumpkin1@gmail.com>
* Removes unneeded check
* Moves appropriate movement subsystems into SS_BACKGROUND. Removes redundant SS_KEEP_TIMINGs
I do want the behavior of SS_TICKER, which at this point is tick based waits, and ignoring overtime when
calculating next fire.
Since honestly, these subsystems should ignore overtime in regards to next fire, the cost of moving A may be
nothing compared to the cost of moving B.
* Makes the MODULUS macro use floor. I knew our coders would never let me down, glad this exists, thanks ninja
Fixes teleporting caused by shitty round() behavior, adds a "you hit your target" case to homing loops
