## About The Pull Request
So you've noticed that when we insert say uranium into a techfab it
shows us the proper green sheet getting consumed as the animation but
when you insert that same uranium into an autolathe is shows us a blue
sheet animation instead?
Yup not realistic, this is because the autolathe has only 2 animation
types one for inserting iron & the other for glass. Every material type
would have to share these 2 animations making it look bland.
Now the material color is blended on the icon itself allowing for the
right color to be applied on the insertion animation
Plus this also trims the sizes of our dmi files so it's a win overall

## About The Pull Request
Adds a resistance flag, `SHUTTLE_CRUSH_PROOF`, adds it to the existing
things that have it, and adds it to the immortality spectres.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gets rid of some hardcoded checks, making it easier for future code (or
admins) to make things immune to shuttle crushing.
Also makes it so immortality spectres are immune to being shuttle
crushed, as that kinda ruins the whole "immortality" thing...
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Improved shuttle gibbing code, adding a new resistance flag,
`SHUTTLE_CRUSH_PROOF`.
fix: Immortality revival spectres can no longer be crushed by shuttles.
add: The ghost of Poly can no longer be shuttle-crushed, nor can
anything incorporeal.

## About The Pull Request
This makes getting Contraband Plus (the better stuff with more
interesting effects), slightly higher in probability out of contraband
crates.
It also removes the completely redundant narcotics roll, and the truly
awful permabrig contraband roll, from Contraband Plus.
Some of the more interesting narcotics are now directly in Contraband
Plus.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The weights were a little uninteresting. You rarely if ever saw the
effects of the contraband crate change with the current values. It was
kind of lame to see a shiv in a contraband crate knowing that it was a
wasted Contraband Plus roll. This hopefully stops that from happening
too often.

## About The Pull Request
Adds `MAP_TEST` compile flag.
This compile flag blocks common things which make it difficult to test a
map.
Things this applies to:
- Rats no longer spawn.
- Rat spawning will (obviously) break up the powernet, which is
INCREDIBLY annoying when trying to test if all the rooms of the station
are wired correctly (or testing which rooms lose power first, etc)
- Light tubes no longer break on initialize.
- Random light breakages can easily cause mappers to accidentally over
light a room.
- Roundstart command report is not printed.
- Might be a personal preference, but it's kinda annoying to hear the
alert over and over again.
- Random events do not trigger.
- Some events such as gravity generator outage can trigger with 0
population.
- Random camera breakage event can cause over-placement of cameras.
- Other stuff tends to just get in the way.
- Station traits do not trigger.
- Probably the biggest annoyance. Many traits modify the map in some way
which disrupts testing.
- Roundstart landmarks don't self deletes.
- Allows mappers to use sdql to find them.
- Mapping verbs start enabled.
Obviously more things can be added if they come up.
## About The Pull Request
Here is what webs look like.
It looks like pure ass and I hate seeing it.
Here's my attempt at making them look nicer.
Notes: Genetics Power webs now have a slight purple tint to
differentiate them from regular spider webs, so spiders aren't confused
about why they can't cross these ones.
On the backend I condensed a lot of these typepaths to inherit from each
other instead of not doing that. In the future I am going to use this to
cut down on the excessive amount of action buttons we have for these
too.
Here's (most of) what the action buttons look like. this screenshot also
demonstrating that we have a serious problem with how many buttons we
give to spiders.
After this is merged I will embark on two further projects:
- Wallening version
- Reworking spider web placement to not be a function of having 15
action buttons, it's _so bad_.
While I was working on this I noticed that AI spiders would not
automatically place webs on certain crossable tiles, because we forgot
to pass an argument to a proc. I fixed that too.
Oh also final change I almost forgot to document:
I made you jiggle if you get stuck in a web.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The previous sprites looked bad and these look less bad.

When I made SSpolling, jlsnow gave me his blessing to delete the orbit
polling component [where you orbit something for 20 seconds before it
chooses a ghost from the orbiters]
It's only used in a few places like soulstones replacing
jobbanned/inactive players, etc.
Also upgraded SSpolling; you can now place a little icon on the sides in
the chat message, chat message looks a lot nicer, the alert pic and the
jump target don't have to be the same anymore, and I made it be able to
pre-pick candidates since 90% of the use cases would just want 1
candidate
Also prints to chat who the chosen one was
Also made slime intelligence potions ask the user for a reason, which

## About The Pull Request
I was thinking to contribute something to the new away mission map to
make it better. Mapping and all takes too much time for me, so I could
do little. Though it comes with its own unique gimmicks.
To reach the cafeteria, one has to complete a couple puzzles.
The first set is opened by inputing the correct PIN on the password
panel beside it. There're several clues to help you guess this fairly
easy puzzle, in the form of several number graffitis, a scrapped piece
of paper full of numbers, and a board filled with colored dots also
found just beside the panel.
The second one is opened by a keycard, and is generally lazier. To find
it, you'll need to do a bit of (toilet) searching.
As for the unique things this PR adds:
- A fire extinguisher... that actually contains welding fuel
- A (dirt-cheap) hotdog vending machine*
- A completely ornamental maneki-neko (that's the name of the
luck-bringing, paw-waving cat figurine)
- A piggy bank that carries money between rounds. It has a cap of 10k
credits worth of holochips, cash and coins, which is pretty high, but
I'm confident people will just destroy it for its contents the moment
they find it. His name is Pigston Swinelord VI.
- More, totally legit and not actually fake bombable walls :^)
*By the by, you can also find it during the national hotdog day.

## Why It's Good For The Game
You know how most away missions are not that special at all? Yeah,
@mc-oofert set an example of a pretty decent one actually, if not a tad
small. I thought it could use a touch of another mind actually
contributing to it too, because it deserves it.
Also, this sets the basis for other persistent piggy banks. I don't
think they should all have that 10k cap like this one, perhaps 1k is
enough. Beside, the code that mothblocks did for json database datum is
pretty good, so there is not a whole lot of shitcode here.

## About The Pull Request
This machine was added 5 years ago to be used for events like the
toolbox tournament, but it has since been deprecated and unused (toolbox
tournament has made their own version of the console that works much
better and uses TGUI), making this machine not worth touching.
After some discussions in discord, we said the better option would be to
remove this machine and leave the toolbox tournament branch keep using
their machine, rather than to port the toolbox version to TG where it
will continue to not be used in-game.
fun fact: This used to have a feature where it gave antag hud icons to
the members of each team, it was removed when antag huds got refactored
3 years ago, hence why I'm removing an antag hud icon.

This PR adds a !!!FUN!!! bomb payload to the blackmarket, which, upon
detonation, transmutates all terrain in a range like the dimensional
anomaly would. You can also select the dimensional theme to use by using
it in your hand.
I believe however, this thing should cost a fuckton to get and only show
up occasionally. 8k to 10k was my original idea, but I think that's
perhaps not high enough given its flagrant potential. Perhaps I should
also make it so the more dangerous themes yield a shorter range than
others. Suggestions are welcome.

This PR also turns dimension themes into singletons so we access them
more easily. Nothing to write home about.

Footprint sprites no longer have to be the same "shoe" sprite, they are
now based on what shoes you're wearing and what legs you have
They are also renamed, i.e., if they're paws, they're called pawprints
and not footprints
Shoes have priority over legs
I have changed monkey legs to have paw footprints
Code is from https://github.com/DaedalusDock/daedalusdock/pull/813,
except I renamed some defines and vars and tweaked it a bit
A future use for this is, adding human FOOT (not shoe) print sprites, so
people without shoes would make actual FEET print sprites
I didn't do this cuz I can't sprite, but it's possible now
Also didn't do this cuz I'd like to replace the existing footprints with
the more grimy Baystation footprints, they look much better, but that's
for a separate PR
Any lizard superfans could also sprite something for lizards, the
possibilities are endless

## About The Pull Request
This pull request serves as a large rework of minerals produced by
mining, and by extension mining itself. I'll try and list each change
and it's associated nuance here.
### Ore Vents
The biggest addition to the game with ArcMining is **Ore Vents**. Ore
vents spawn as a ruin on the map, placing a randomized ore vent onto map
generation. Ore vents spawn in 3 different sizes, **Small, Medium, and
Large**. These vents will pick from a pool of materials they can
generate, and will hang out across the map. A player can use a mining
scanner to discover an ore vent, granting a small quantity of **mining
points** to begin with. Once scanned, ore vents will show what minerals
that ore vent will generate after they're fully tapped.
Scanning the vent again will trigger the extraction process. A small
drone will fly down, called the NODE drone, and buckle onto the vent.
Your job during wave defense is to protect the drone and to defeat waves
of randomly spawning mobs (dependent on if you're on lavaland or on
icebox). The quantity, duration, and time between waves is scaled to the
size of the vent you're protecting. Starting by scanning and protecting
lower tier vents earlier in the shift is a safer bet than doing a large
vent in the first few minutes. The drone has 500 health, and can take a
good few hits, but leaving it alone will cause it to meet an unfortunate
end quite quickly.
Cooperation can be your best asset, as mining with allies can greatly
help with wave defense, and mineral points are granted to anyone who
helps with defending the ore vent equally (So 500 * size tier,
regardless of how much help you receive). Once complete, the ore vent
will have a mining machine constructed on top of it, and will start to
dredge up **Boulders** from the earth automatically. More on boulders
later.
Ore vents can be located based on your mining scanner, and will provide
an appropriate audio cue based on if the ore vent has been discovered or
not, and once processed will no longer alert you to it's presence.
**Each station comes with a free vent that produces exclusively iron and
glass, free of charge.** This is to help with shifts where the station
may not have shaft miners to produce minerals, and to provide the
station with a baseline amount of minerals where none may exist
otherwise.
### Mineral Generation
Mineral generation has been completely reworked. Previously, Mineral
Generation had a flat 13% spawn rate in-game. Once minerals spawned,
they would also have a chance to propagate their minerals to nearby
tiles, resulting in a rather massive pool of minerals that could spawn
throughout lavaland on the whole.
This tweaks that, by making minerals in walls spawn based on their
proximity to ore vents on maps that use cave generation. Both the
probability, and quantity of ores spawning in walls is scaled based on
distance, with ore vents looking like large caches of ores found in
walls. This makes following ores found in walls and checking their
quantity of minerals spawned a good indicator of how close you are to a
nearby vent in-round.
This means you can collect some points form both discovering ore vents
first, as well as collecting their surrounding ores, turn those in for
mining points, and then trading them in for gear upgrades to more
effectively take on ore vents. As a result of tweaking the balance of
this, the total amount of ores spawned in walls overall has been
decreased. However, by making more of the process time based, we still
result in a mostly balanced finished product.
### Boulder Processing
On station, there are now three new machines. These are the BRM, the
Refinery, and the Smelter.
- The BRM acts as a teleporter. Instead of needing to carry boulders
back to the station, you can activate the BRM, and it will automatically
pick boulders to teleport back to itself. You can use this to teleport
boulders dredged up from lavaland onto the station for processing. **The
BRM will only lock on to boulders that are resting on an ore vent.**
Moving boulders back by hand will mean you'll have to haul it back by
hand.
- The refinery processes the non-metallic materials out of boulders.
This process sends the materials straight to the ORM, and collects
mining points from the ores smelted in the machine. Swiping with an ID
card lets you withdraw those points for your own personal account, but
remember that these points are for your whole team to share from. The
**Mining points obtained from this process is only 75% of the amount an
equivalent amount of ores would provide.**
- The smelter works nearly identically, however the smelter produces
metallic materials out of boulders instead.
- Once a boulder has had all of it's materials extracted, it's broken
down and deleted from the line. Otherwise, the boulder is spat out for
the next machine to process it (either the refinery or smelter).
- Once there's no minerals left in a boulder of any type, the refinery
or smelter will break the boulder down.
- Boulders **do not stack onto tiles with each other**, so they'll block
each other when pulled or when moving on a conveyor belt.
Boulders can also be processed by hand. Using a mining tool on a boulder
with right click will allow you to break down a boulder into it's
composite ores, but limits you to a maximum of 10 ore per boulder, where
the full amount can be extracted using the proper processing machines.
Also, processing by hand does deal small amounts of stamina damage over
time, do breaking a full large boulder can be particularly taxing.
Additional Boulder Processing Machines can be built, with the BRM board
being obtained from the Protolathe, while the Smelter and Refinery
boards being obtainable from the Autolathe instead. A _boulder
processing beacon_ can also be obtained from the mining points vendor as
a reward to assist with boulder processing. Boulder processing beacons
can be used to spawn in a new BRM, refinery, and smelter on the tile the
user is standing on, however **you'll still need to link them to the
ORM**!
All three machines can be upgraded with Stock Parts, allowing for **more
boulders to be processed at a time**. It does not, however, increase the
amount of minerals received from boulders, or points earned.
### Mining Borg Tweaks
Mining borgs have been given some minor adjustments to compensate for
the changes to mining. Their mineral scanner, which now has an active
component to gameplay, is now a module as opposed to built into the mob.
This module allows for the same ability to discover and start waves of
monsters to fight.
Mining modules will find that their PKA now has a total of 90% mod
capacity as compared to the 80% they had before, to allow for more
robust defense of ore vents.
In addition, all borgs and AIs can interact with the BRM for boulder
collection.
### Mining Mech Tweaks
Mining Mechs have had their utility tweaked as a result of these changes
as well. Mineral scanners to be used on mining mechs now have a larger
radius by comparison to their handheld cousins. Similarly, it now has an
active scanning button, which will actively discovery nearby ore vents.
To begin wave defense, you will need to hop out and scan a second time
however, so that you can properly accept the risks of drawing a horde of
bloodthirsty wildlife towards you and your companions.
Mechs can also manually process boulders, similar to mining tools using
their drill.
### Golem Tweaks
Golems, being more gentle and less aggressive than humans, while being
made out of LITERAL ROCKS, have a greater need to secure access to ores
and minerals to eat. As such, they have adapted to be able to do two new
things:
- Golems may now right click ore vents to be able to manually haul a
boulder out of the vent. This costs a hefty amount of stamina, but it
allows for golems to avoid combat during regular gameplay.
- Golems may now left click a boulder with an open hand in order to
manually process a boulder like a pickaxe. While not faster, it is
consistent and prevents golems from starving if they have access to a
vent, but no ores, somehow.
### Gulag Tweaks
The labor camp, being a camp for rehabilitation and ~~excessive manual
labor~~ has been tweaked. Boulders now replace the random minerals
located on their island, and to acquire their prizes inside, much be
excavated and then broken out of the rock. Now YOU TOO can excavate
minerals and become a true mineral hero by working your way to freedom.
### Mining Point Changes
As a result of fewer mining points being available across the map due to
the new ore spawning mechanics, and the shift in how and when ores will
be coming in, almost every progress based mining point cost has been
reduced by around 10-20%. Many numbers are still subject to change at
present, but the idea is that core progress unlocks should be made a bit
more available earlier in the round before players can start to solo or
duo larger or more difficult ore vents, after which they'll be rolling
in ores.
### Rarities
Every once in awhile, an unusual boulder will get hauled up from the
mineral rich depths of lavaland. These **Artifact boulders** can
occasionally produce rare items, but for now they've mostly just been
pulling up **Strange objects** for science. Nanotrasen Natural Sciences
department will reward you extra points to be collected by boulder
processing machines for successfully extracting one. In the future, this
opens up a passive reward space that mining can reward to the station,
like providing cytology DNA samples, ancient seeds, or other artifacts.
### Misc notes
- Boulders can be stored in all varieties of ore boxes (ground, mech)
should you choose, however as mentioned it's best to leave them where
they spawn and teleport them to the station for convenience.
- Maps that are not subject to cave generation will find that they are
largely untouched in terms of mineral balance.
- Future or existing ruins can now be tweaked to have a mineral balance
cost, as the ore vent ruin does. This will allow us to spawn in more
interesting ruins for pre-made combat challenges.
- There are unique ore vents that spawn across the map, that will summon
a boss mob relevant to that map. If the boss mob is defeated, that vent
will spawn large boulders pulling from every possible ore type that can
spawn. Not for the faint of heart!
- Similarly, the number of ore vents and mineral budget is now
adjustable in the cave generation procs, so maps may spawn with more or
less ore vents as desired for balance.
- Artifact boulders opens up a LOT of room for possible future content
like archaeology, xenoarch, artisci, and other design spaces!
- Megafauna STILL SPAWN ON THE MAP. They just happen to spawn in
addition to boss ore vents.
- **I'll add more to this as I get asked questions and remember things,
this is a huge PR and I'm confident I've missed at least something**
## Why It's Good For The Game
I outlined a lot of this in #78040, so I'll try and keep this relatively
snappy this time, while noting that I've made some concessions to make
the whole system a lot more playable while not trying to break out
design decisions that are at the end of the day, better for the game and
the overall resource balance in round.
Minerals are a very poorly balanced system, and have been since their
inception many years ago. We heavily rely on mineral balance in round,
and yet we've really only balanced it by introducing so much supply that
there's no equivalent exchange for materials that doesn't just heavily
flood the exchanged material. For example, items printed from materials
that are otherwise considered "rare" on master exist in such quantities
and they'll never practically run out in our allotted 90 minute time
slot design. This PR adjusts how ores spawn to a point where we can
minimize the amount of ores that need to exist on the map for mining to
be able to progress, while still providing enough resources for the
station that it covers the needs of the station adequately.
Miners will need to be more strategic about what resources they've
collected, and be able to make decisions about which vents are worth the
risk of attempting to fight, how to prepare for a wave defense, and when
to head back up for upgrades, while finally giving them at least some
kind of incentive to work together and use different equipment.
Resonators make cleaning up the caves around vent easy, sandbags set up
easy defenses for your vent, mechs can serve as a wider range radar
while mining, all while still providing a new gameplay loop to mining.
By limiting the amount of ores that can enter the round from the
massive, massive amounts that were coming into the round beforehand (see
#78346 ), we can make ore processing more meaningful by adding more
gameplay to the processing of minerals. I have some plans for that,
however this PR already got bloated really REALLY badly due to scope
creep and the number of intersecting systems that rammed into each other
to make this PR possible. So that'll be next. Plus, as I've mentioned,
we open up places for ore processing to find fossils, relics, and other
things that can implemented down the line.
Overall, I don't expect this PR to save or kill ore balance, but we gain
a LOT more control over it through the use of our mining defines
attached to this PR, and at the end of the day, that's a great place to
start off of.

add: Added the BRM, Refinery, and Smelter. These pieces of equipment are
used to process ore boulders into minerals for the station. Stock Part
upgrades allow more boulders to be processed at one time. They collect
mining points as well, to be redeemed with an ID card swipe.
add: Boulders are teleported to the station via the BRM if left
untouched. Boulders can also be cracked open for a reduced amount of ore
using pickaxes or golems hands.
add: All stations come equipt with a pre-excavated ore vent, which
produces a basic supply of iron and glass only. Scan other vents for
your critical resources!
add: Look there's a shit ton of changes on mining, for more detail check
out the Pull Request: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78524.
sound: New sounds and noises for your high octane factorio-like
gameplay!
image: All new boulder sprites for the new minerals and rocks added to
the mining gameplay loop, as well as mining machines!
image: Overlays appear over vents when scanned to let you know their
contents at a glance when actively scanned with any mining scanners.

## About The Pull Request
Goes through and changes some `in area` / `in a` loops to use
`get_contained_turfs` to cut down on `in_world` loops. Saves some free
lag.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
fix: Some things which affect everything in an area are less laggy, the
"all lights are broken" station trait especially
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
`/datum/crystal_warp_theme` and `/datum/dimension_theme` both do very
similar, if not identical behaviors, so we can combine them pretty
painlessly.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This gives the crystal more options for themes to pick from, and the
dimensional anomaly more wacky themes to pick from.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Refactored the area transformation colossus crystal effect to
use the same system dimensional anomalies use. That means the colossus
crystal now has access to some dimensional themes (bamboo, plasma,
glass) and the dimensional anomaly now has access to some colossus
themes (jungle, alien).

## About The Pull Request
Fixes https://github.com/NovaSector/NovaSector/issues/152
This is mostly a downstream issue, I think, but should a spawner ever
get added to the fish tables here this bug will be present.
Basically spawners, when created, do their item spawning behavior on the
src loc and then immediately qdel themselves.
If you try to forceMove() the spawners out of nullspace, like what was
happening with fishing, you'd end up with an unmovable broken item that
cannot be easily admin deleted.
This PR also adds a stack_trace when you forceMove() a qdeleted spawner,
because this is not the first time I've seen this issue come up. It
doesn't stop it from happening, though, because it's easier to visually
see the bug that way. This just provides some useful feedback as to why
the bug is happening should you check the debug logs.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes a bug
## Changelog

fix: fishing up a spawner will now give you the spawned item instead of
a broken, undeletable spawner object

## About The Pull Request
Added a negative station trait, which blocks the mail like it's sunday
or a official holiday. However! If it's actually sunday or a official
holiday, when the mail would be normally blocked already, instead it'll
unblock it. It was done this way because it's easier (station traits are
loaded before the events and economy subsystems are initialized) and
cooler.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Granted there are quite a few station traits around cargo already,
features interacting with other features is honestly a good thing.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added a "postal workers strike" negative station trait. In the case
of holidays and sunday though, it'll be a "postal system overtime"
instead.

## About The Pull Request
Revived my old PR https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/68901
Replaces the annoying tgui alert popup "Do you want to be X? | Yes | No
| Never for this round" that is hard to read and steals window focus,
with a nice clean alert in the top right that counts down. If it's the
same event/mob they stack with 2x, 3x, etc. It also shows how many
candidates/ghosts are signed up.
The poll alerts have screentips too, they countdown and show if you're
signed up, how many people are signed up, if you chose "never for this
round" (which is cancelable)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Way easier to see what role is available, you get a nice pic of the role
and get it's name in big text, you can cancel "never for this round",
and you can cancel signing up for a role before the timer is up
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Ghost roles now offer ghosts a clickable poll button. Ghosts
can select a role, deselect it, alt-click it for "Never For This Round",
can cancel "Never", can see the countdown, and can see how many other

## About The Pull Request
FOV as it is currently implemented is incompatible* with wallening.
I'm doin wallening, so we gotta redo things here.
The issue is the masking of mobs. Wallening relies on sidemap (layering
based off physical position), which only works on things on the same
plane (because planes are basically sheets we render down onto)
So rather then masking mobs, let's reuse the masking idea from old fov,
and use it to cut out a bit of the game render plane, and
blur/over-saturate the bit that's masked out.
My hope is this makes things visible in light, but not as much in
darkness, alongside making more vivid shit more easily seen (just like
real life)
Here's some videos, what follows after is the commits I care about
(since I had to rip a bunch of planes to nothing, so the files changed
tab might be a bit of a mess)
Oh also I had to remove the darkness pref since the darkness is doing a
lot of the heavy lifting now. I'm sorry.
Edit:
NEW FOV SPRITES! Thanks dongle your aviator glasses will guide us to a
better future.

## Commits I Care About
[Implements something like fov, but without the planes as layers
hell](a604c7b1c8)
Rather then masking out mobs standing behind us, we use a combo color
matrix and blur filter to make the stuff covered by fov harder to see.
We achive this by splitting the game plane into two, masking both by fov
(one normally and one inversely), and then applying effects to one of
the two.
I want to make the fov fullscreens more gradient, but as an effect this
is a good start
[Removes WALL_PLANE_UPPER by adding a WALL_PLANE overlay to material
walls (init cost comes
here)](2548933739)
@Mothblocks see this. comment in commit explains further but uh, we need
to draw material walls to the light mask plane so things actually can be
seen on them, but we can't do that and also have them be big, so they
get an overlay. Sorry, slight init time bump, about 0.5 seconds. I can
kill it with wallening.
[Moves SEETHROUGH_PLANE above
ABOVE_GAME_PLANE](beec4c00e0)
I don't think it actually wants to draw here
@Time-Green I think this was you so pinging for opinion
[Resprites FOV masks to be clean (and more
consistent)](f02ad13696)

## About The Pull Request
`/obj/structure/closet/crate/maint` was a type of crate that spawned a
completely different crate, and then deleted itself. I have decided to
swap this out for an actual spawning effect.
I have also did some subtypery to remove some duplicate code that
handled randomly opening the spawned closet/crate (through I am not that
satisfied with
`/obj/effect/spawner/random/structure/closet_empty/crate/with_loot` as a
sensible typepath name, I would like to ask for suggestions). I also
removed a loot define, because it was no longer needed as its contents
were used on a single page.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Things that act like spawners should be spawners.
Maybe this fixes the CI issue on northstar where a mousetrap box gets
deleted before it initializes during create and destroy? It was placed
above a spawner that spawned one of these self deleting crates. I am
unsure, I could not replicate this issue during testing.

### Cogitandi Fidis
Creates a holy violin that gives an analysis of songs played on it. This
lets you check how long the song is for final effects, to make sure they
trigger without the hassle of trying a rite with a song until you get
one that works. 20 Favor, looks neat too!
### Portable Song Tuning
Rite to empower an instrument with the ability to invoke specifically
song tuning rites, 5 charges before you need to go back to a proper
altar. Helps a chaplain stay on the move, since songs are interruptable
and sometimes an altar can be incredibly far. 10 Favor for 5 charges.
### Illuminating Solo
New free invocation that lets you light up the way with your music! The
finishing effect applies a weaker glow to all listeners for a minute.
### Other Misc Changes
The threshold for getting a final effect on a song is now lower, 220 ->
170. As a reminder, this threshold is lines * tempo. I think the
threshold was simply too high

## About The Pull Request
I have decided to help out with basic mobbing slimes, and found out,
that this code is ancient and crusty. So I have decided to refactor and
tweak things bit but but, until the moment I will hit AI related stuff.
I might have gone a bit overboard, and performed a melange of fixes. I
have done the following in order:
- Slime colour, core type and mutation list are now held by a single
`slime_type datum`. This means the slime's core is no longer spawned
using text operations on the slime's colour, and the slime's mutation is
no longer a single large switch statement that returns an exactly four
element length array. Icons are still based on the slime's colour
define, but that is now more changeable.
- Autodocced all the slime procs and vars I could find, while also
renamed them to be more descriptive. Also made Booleans actual booleans.
Also added code to confused code segments. For example, did you know
that slimes would forgive all its stacks of Feeling Very Attack Right
Now, if it has exactly one level of Discipline? I didn't, and I almost
turned the 1 in the check into a TRUE before I had a second look.
- Added defines to the slime hunger checks
- Cleaned up a lot of single letter vars in all code that referenced the
now changed variables.
- Large amount of if-chain pyramids have been turned into early returns.
More readable.
- Made the xenobiology camera shortcuts and actions always do the same
thing, though the action buttons still loop through all of the conents.
In addition, after seeing a comment lamenting about varied load orders,
I have made autolinking the monkey recycler is now done in
LateInitialize, which didn't exist when it was made.
- I have included an UpdatePath that changes the colours of premapped
slimes, but I did not do anything for the other values.
- I noticed slimes were unable to attack pacifist humans, due to trait
checking the human instead of the attacking slime. This has been fixed.
- The slime scanner has an examine block, and it now describes your
slimes' "mutation attempt chance", instead of like, performing math in
case the slime's current colour is one of the mutations, or hiding it if
it has none. This value is needed to breed rainbow slimes.
This has been an extremely large scrubbing. I am willing to try rip it
up into smaller chunks, even if most of it is just single letter vars
and if pyramids.
## Why It's Good For The Game
If code is more readable and expandable, it will aid in further
refactors.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Slimes's colour, core type and mutation list is now held in a
slime type datum
code: Slime's variables have been documented, and renamed a bit to add
clarity. Please report bugs that might stem from renaming.
fix: Slimes are not longer prevented from attacking pacifist humans.
qol: Slime scans now display the actual amount of genetic instability,
instead of hiding it if a slime doesn't mutate further, or tweaking it
if it might mutate back into itself. This will make it easier to parse
which slime to breed further to get a rainbow slime.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#79764
I was going to tackle this issue by slamming `TRAIT_NO_SLIP_ALL` on
Atrocinator users and calling it a day, but like, that didn't feel
proper.
So I thought hey, we could just give them the flying movetype, even
though they technically aren't flying it means they're unaffected by
things that flying would make you unaffected by.
Nope, this means the mob technically "negates gravity", so no falling
and no feetsteps.
Let's try floating - this give us feetsteps but no falling upwards.
So instead of going back to square one, with `TRAIT_NO_SLIP_ALL`, I
decided to go for the more complex route of just adding a movetype.
Hence, move type `UPSIDE_DOWN`. This covers situations where a mob would
be "floating" above the ground, but still walking. ...Negative gravity.
This means overall the Atrociator acts more as you'd expect - you don't
slip on ice, you don't trigger bear traps or mouse traps, you can walk
over railings, unaffected by conveyor belts, etc.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes the Atrocinator a lot more consistent with how you'd expect for it
to work.
Admittedly it is a bit niche use of movetypes, but it can possibly be
expanded to more things in the future, who knows? I applied it to mobs
on meat spikes (even though they don't move), just for proof of concept.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
fix: Atrocinating mobs will now behave more as you'd expect. Meaning
they don't slip on wet patches, can't trigger bear traps / landmines /

ground), glass tables
fix: Floating mobs won't squish stuff like roaches anymore

## About The Pull Request
Closes#79297Closes#79312
Due to the new cutoff parameter being added to tesla_zap() (from
#78310), and most callers used positional arguments instead of keywords,
the zap flags was getting fed the shocked_targets list and maybe other
junk. This caused a bunch of unusual phenomena. This is fixed by using
keyword arguments.
Tesla zaps that use the grid were significantly weaker in terms of
damage than they're supposed to be. This was a byproduct of trying to
convert everything to joules and removing unnecessary power multipliers.
This is fixed by reverting the damage scaling and zap power of zap
sources that aren't based on grid. Technically this will cause the zaps
from other sources to have less power, but these tend to not be able to
put power on grid, so this wouldn't have any change other than what a
grounding rod displays. Doesn't really matter.
Logs machine explosions from zap_act. Not the most helpful log (would
take a lot of effort to add an extra parameter to pass the source), but
better than nothing.
Probably other stuff I did, lol.

## About The Pull Request
- Dehardcodes microwave cleaning
- Instead of hard istyping for a rag, soap, or space cleaner, we just
use `wash`.
- Gets rid of a redundant signal
- `COMSIG_ATOM_WASHED`: not only was it misleading (only sent to items),
but it was pointless because `COMSIG_COMPONENT_CLEAN_ACT` is the same
signal.
- Improves microwave attackby code, splitting tool stuff into tool-procs
- Allows spray cleaner to work on dense objects such as windows
- Clicking on a dense object or mob adjacent to you with spray cleaner
will spawn the puff cloud on the target, rather than on your own
position.
- This will skip the moveloop and just clean everything on the target
turf alone.
- This means you can spray down a bloody window with a spray bottle, as
janitor gods intended.
- It also means you can fill the spray with other stuff to spray onto
dense objects directly, which might be worth noting. Especially for
stuff like Napalm.

## About The Pull Request
Balances
1. Spiders now slow down equivalent to their health
2. Tarantulas can no longer put web passages or solid webs and destroy
walls outside of charge attack
3. Young spiders now cant pull objects do to being too weak and become
slower outside of webs as they should be
4. Makes pneumatic airlock seal unable to be destroyed by spiders
5. All Broodmother eggs now have a cooldown timer
Normal Eggs: 20 seconds
Abnormal Eggs: 180 Seconds
Enriched Eggs: 60 seconds
Expansions
1. Added a new abnormal egg category
2. Broodmothers can now lay abnormal eggs
3. 2 new spiders added
6. A new web type: Reflective silk screen
# Breacher
- Low damaging with High wound bonuses meant to debilitate enemies to
take ground for the nest
- Has the ability to breach areas by destroying walls with menson vision
to map out strategic breachings
- Immune to harsh environments with the ability to lay solid webs to
protect the nest environment
- Can send in warnings for the entire nest to hear
Will Help the nest get out of being closed off by small construction
attempts and fix some space breaches plus some back up by making enemies
slower and scarring them off with some bloodloss
# Tank
- Extremely low damaging build to absorb damage to hold ground for the
nest
- With the ability to lay down silk screen reflectors to protect the
nest from missile attacks
- Can heal itself at a slow rate
Will provide great support to keep the nest at bay from range attacks at
some extent and act as a damage absorber in dier situations
# Abnormal Eggs
- They can only be made once every 180 Seconds
- Hold the two new spider types
## Why It's Good For The Game
New spiders to contribute to the general spider antag team dynamic,
balances for spiders are always good making them funner to play against
and bringing up challenges on their gameplay making them act less like
murdering simple mobs and more like an actual nest trying to survive in
the station.
How?
1. **Cooldown egg laying:** broodmothers now have to be more strategic
on where they place their eggs with an average of 3 eggs per minute per
broodmother
2. **Spider slowdown on damage:** Spiders now will become slower the
longer they stay out of the nest in battle making them have to retreat
back to the nest shortening their time out murdering giving incentives
to expand the nest
3. **Spider More Brute Damage:** Gives a reason to use melee against
spiders although more dangerous it gives more reward due to the higher
damage outputs since spiders are pretty much big bugs with delicate
bodies no bones no good structural consistency equal more damage to
blunt attacks
4. **Tarantula Nerfs:** Tarantulas shouldnt be able to destroy this many
walls at this rate and be able to lay so many defensive webs I don't
know why they had this abilities but their strong enough as is

## About The Pull Request
Implements /datum/pathfind/sssp, which generates /datum/path_map
/datum/path_maps allow us to very efficently generate paths to any turf
they contain from their central point.
We're effectively running the single source shortest paths algorithm.
We expand from the center turf, adding turfs as they're found, and then
processing them in order of addition.
As we go, we remember what turf "found" us first. Reversing this chain
gives us the shortest possible path from the center turf to any turf in
its range (or the inverse).
This isn't all that useful on its own, outside of a few niche cases
(Like if we wanted to get the farthest reachable turf from the center)
but if we could reuse the map more then once, we'd be able to swarm
to/from a point very easily.
Reuse is a bit troublesome, reqiures a timeout system and a way to
compare different movables trying to get paths.
I've implemented it tho. I've refactored CanAStarPass to take a datum,
/datum/can_pass_info. This is built from a movable and a list of access,
and copies all the properties that would impact pathfinding over onto
itself.
There is one case where we don't do this, pathing over openspace
requires checking if we'd fall through the openspace, and the proc for
that takes an atom.
So instead we use the weakref to the owner that we hold onto, and hold
copies of all the values that would impact the check on the datum.
When someone requests a swarmed path their pass info is compared with
the pass info of all other path_maps centered on their target turf. If
it matches and their requested timeout isn't too short, we just reuse
the map.
Timeout is a tricky thing because the longer a map exists the more out
of date it gets.
I've added a few age defines that let you modulate your level of risk
here. We default to only allowing maps that are currently
being generated, or finished generating in our tick.
Hopefully this prevents falling into trouble, but consumers will need to
allow "failed" movements.
As a part of this datumized pass info, I've refactored pathfinding to
use access lists, rather then id cards directly. This also avoids some
dumbass harddel oppertunities, and prevents an idcard from changing mid
path.
Did a few things to the zPass procs, they took args that they did NOT
need, and I thought it'd be better to yeet em.
If you'd all like I could undo the caching/can_pass_info stuff if you'd
all like. I think it's useful generally because it avoids stuff changing
mid pathfind attempt, but if it's too clunky I could nuke it.
Oh also I added optional args to jps that constricts how it handles
diagonals. I've used this to fix bot paths.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Much of this is redundant currently. I'm adding it because it could have
saved hugglebippers, and because I get the feeling it'll be useful for
"grouping" mobs like bees and such.
We're doing more basic mob work currently and I want to provide extra
tools for that work.

## Changelog
🆑
add: Adds swarmed pathfinding, trading accuracy for potential
optimization of used correctly
fix: Bots will no longer take diagonal paths, preventing weirdo looking
path visuals
refactor: Refactored bits of pathfinding code, hopefully easier to add
new pathfinding strategies now
/🆑
This adds a tracker for sources of invisibility and a priority system. I
needed this for another thing so I'm doing this first since it touches a
lot of code. As for the bugs fixed in the changelog, it's only what I
noticed while going through everything and there's likely a few more
things fixed with this. This should be testmerged for a while, I'll
bring this out of draft when it feels safe.
🆑
admin: Invisimin can now be used on mobs that are already invisible,
whether through temporary or permanent effects.
fix: Monkeyize/Humanize mob transformations no longer permanently reveal
invisible mobs if they had effects making them invisible otherwise.
fix: Objects with the undertile element that have been made invisible
through other means are no longer revealed by being uncovered.
