## 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 /
mouse traps, ignore conveyors, and can walk over tables and railings.
fix: Floating mobs are unaffected by conveyor belts, acid (on the
ground), glass tables
fix: Floating mobs won't squish stuff like roaches anymore
fix: Fixes bear traps triggering on floating / flying mobs

## 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.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Stops zap fuckery. Admins can now find the explosions when a 9GeV engine
decides to go haywire or whatever.

## 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
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added Abnormal Eggs
add: Added Two new spiders
del: Some Tarantula abilities
balance: Spiders speed are now connected to health

## 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.

add: Adds swarmed pathfinding, trading accuracy for potential

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.

through other means are no longer revealed by being uncovered.

## About The Pull Request
The changes made can be best summarized into points
**1. Cleans up `code/_DEFINES/construction.dm`**
Looking at the top comment of this file
0fb8b8b218/code/__DEFINES/construction.dm (L1)
One would expect stuff related to materials, rcd, and other construction
related stuff. Well this file is anything but
Why is there stuff related to food & crafting over here then?
0fb8b8b218/code/__DEFINES/construction.dm (L91-L94)
It gets worse why are global lists declared here?
0fb8b8b218/code/__DEFINES/construction.dm (L115)
There is a dedicated folder to store global lists i.e.
`code/_globalvars/lists` for lists like these. These clearly don't
belong here
On top of that a lot of construction related defines has been just
dumped here making it too large for it's purposes. which is why this
file has been scraped and it's
1. crafting related stuff have been moved to its
`code/_DEFINES/crafting.dm`
2. global lists for crafting moved to
`code/_globalvars/lists/crafting.dm`
3. Finally remaining construction related defines split apart into 4
file types under the new `code/_DEFINES/construction` folder
- `code/_DEFINES/construction/actions.dm` -> for wrench act or other
construction related actions
- `code/_DEFINES/construction/material.dm` -> contains your sheet
defines and cable & stack related values. Also merged
`code/_DEFINES/material.dm` with this file so it belongs in one place
- `code/_DEFINES/construction/rcd.dm` -> dedicated file for everything
rcd related
- `code/_DEFINES/construction/structures.dm` -> contains the
construction states for various stuff like walls, girders, floodlight
etc
By splitting this file into multiple meaningful define file names will
help in reducing merge conflicts and will aid in faster navigation so
this is the 1st part of this PR
**2. Debloats the `RCD.dm` file(Part 1)**
This uses the same concepts as above. i.e. moving defines into their
appropriate files for e.g.
0fb8b8b218/code/game/objects/items/rcd/RCD.dm (L170)
1. Global vars belong in the `code/_globalvars` folder so these vars and
their related functions to initialize them are moved into the
`code/_globalvars/rcd.dm` file
2. See this proc
0fb8b8b218/code/game/objects/items/rcd/RCD.dm (L200)
This proc does not belong to the `obj/item/construction/rcd` type it's a
global "helper function" this is an effect proc as it creates rcd
holograms so it has been moved to the `code/game/objects/effects/rcd.dm`
file which is a global effect that can be used by anyone
And with that we have moved these vars & procs into their correct places
& reduced the size of this file . We can go even further
**3. Debloats the `RCD.dm` file(Part 2)**
This deals with the large list which contains all the designs supported
by the RCD
0fb8b8b218/code/game/objects/items/rcd/RCD.dm (L42)
This list contains a lot of local defines. We can scrape some of them
and reduce the overall bulkiness & memory requirements of this list and
so the following defines
```
#define WINDOW_TYPE "window_type"
#define COMPUTER_DIR "computer_dir"
#define WALLFRAME_TYPE "wallframe_type"
#define FURNISH_TYPE "furnish_type"
#define AIRLOCK_TYPE "airlock_type"
#define TITLE "title"
#define ICON "icon"
#define CATEGORY_ICON_STATE "category_icon_state"
#define CATEGORY_ICON_SUFFIX "category_icon_suffix"
#define TITLE_ICON "ICON=TITLE"
```
Have all been removed making this list a lot more cleaner. Why? because
a lot of these are just semantic sugar, we can infer the value of a lot
of these defines if we just know the type path of the structure the rcd
is trying to build for e.g. take these 2 defines
0fb8b8b218/code/game/objects/items/rcd/RCD.dm (L13-L15)
These defines tell the rcd UI the name and the icon it should display.
Rather than specifying these manually in the design we can infer them
like this
```
var/obj/design = /obj/structure/window //let's say the rcd is trying to build an window
var/name = initial(design.name) //we have inferred the name of the design without requiring TITLE define
var/icon = initial(design.icon_state) //we have inferred the icon of the design without requiring ICON define
```
And so by using similar logic to the remaining defines we can eliminate
a lot of these local defines and reduce the overall size of this list.
The same logic applies to the different modes of construction, the
following defines
0fb8b8b218/code/__DEFINES/construction.dm (L186-L192)
Have all been removed and replaced with a single value `RCD_STRUCTURE`
All these modes follow the same principle when building them
1. First check the turf if the structure exists. If it does early return
2. If not create a new structure there and that's it
So rather than creating a new construction mode every time you want to
add a new design we can use this mode to apply this general approach
every time
The design list has also now been made into a global list rather than a
private static list. The big advantage to this is that the rcd asset
cache can now access this list and load the correct icons from the list
directly. This means you no longer have to manually specify what icons
you want to load which is the case currently.
0fb8b8b218/code/modules/asset_cache/assets/rcd.dm (L8-L9)
This has lead to the UI icons breaking twice now in the past
- #74194
- #77217
Hopefully this should never repeat itself again
**4. Other RCD like device changes**
- Fixed the broken silo link icon when the radial menu of the RLD was
opened
- replaced a lot of vars inside RLD with defines to save memory
- Small changes to `ui_act` across RCD, Plumbing RCD and RTD
- Removed unused vars in RCD and snowflaked code
- Moved a large majority of `ui_data()` to `ui_static_data()` making the
experience much faster
Just some general clean up going on here
**5. The Large majority of other code changes**
These are actually small code changes spread across multiple files.
These effect the `rcd_act()` & the `rcd_vals()` procs across all items.
Basically it
- Removes a large majority of `to_chat()` & `visible_message()` calls.
This was done because we already have enough visual feedback of what's
going on. When we construct a wall we don't need a `to_chat()` to tell
us you have a built a wall, we can clearly see that
- replaces the static string `"mode"` with a predefined constant
`RCD_DESIGN_MODE` to bring some standard to use across all cases
Should reduce chat spam and improve readability of code.
**6. Airlock & Window names**
The rcd asset cache relies on the design name to be unique. So i filled
in the missing names for some airlocks & windows which are subjective
and open to change but must have some value
**7 Removes Microwave PDA upgrade**
The RCD should not be allowed to build this microwave considering how
quickly it can spawn multiple structures and more importantly as it's a
special multipurpose machine so you should spend some effort in printing
it's parts and acquiring tools to complete it. This upgrade makes
obsolete the need to carry an
- A RPED to install the parts
- A screwdriver to complete the frame
- The circuit board for the microwave
The most important point to note here is that whenever an RPED/circuit
board is printed at an lathe it charges you "Lathe Tax". The RCD with
this upgrade would essentially bypass the need to "Pay Taxes" at these
lathes as you are just creating a circuit board from thin air. This
causes economy imbalance(10 cr per print) which scales up the more of
these machines you make so to avoid this let's end the problem here
Not to mention people would not find the need to print the circuit board
for a regular microwave now if they have an RCD because they can just
make this microwave type making the need for a regular microwave
completely pointless.
Just build a machine frame with the RCD and complete the microwave from
there
## Changelog
🆑
code: moved global vars, lists and helper procs for construction related
stuff to their appropriate files
code: reduced overall code size & memory of rcd design list and removed
unused defines
refactor: removed a ton of chat alerts for rcd related actions to help

refactor: some airlock & window default names have changed
fix: broken icon in radial menu of rld silo link
remove: removes microwave pda upgrade from RCD. It's a special machine
so spend some time in building it rather than shitting them out for free
with the RCD. Use the RCD upgrade to spawn a machine frame instead & go
from there

## About The Pull Request
For the hard-working tradesperson who's in the middle of nowhere and
just wants to warm up their pastry-based savoury item purchased from an
overpriced vending machine, introduces the engineer themed wireless
microwave.
No more going hungry in a pinch, this variant uses changeable power
cells instead of APC power. Can be built normally or printed with a
furnishings-upgraded RCD.
The other upgrade now available: PDA charging. Upgrade the capacitors in
the microwave to add a Charge mode for your portable device!
Also cleans up microwave code a bit and adds much needed context hints
for when it's broken, dirty, etc.
Swaps a few break room microwaves to upgraded variants on mapload, adds
a microwave/donks to Birdshot, donks to Tramstation.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Slap together a semi-portable microwave with your components on hand,
have an engineering picnic in space or wherever else the day takes you.
With increased PDA drain, adding another option to charge your PDA in
common areas is useful. Microwaves are already strategically placed
around the station. Please ensure the model you're using has the
charging feature before operating.
## Changelog
🆑 LT3
add: Introducing Nanotrasen Wave! A Nanotrasen exclusive, Waveallows
your PDA to be charged wirelessly through microwave frequencies. You can
Wave-charge your device by placing it inside a compatible microwave and
selecting the charge mode.
add: Microwaves can be upgraded to add wireless charging
add: Cell-swappable microwave for the engineer on-the-go
add: Microwave now has a wire to swap charge/cook modes
add: Furnishings RCD upgrade now includes wireless microwave
add: Tramstation and Birdshot engineering break rooms now have microwave
and donk pockets. Some microwaves come pre-equipped with wireless
charging and an upgraded cell.
fix: The microwave in the snowdin ruin is now real, not a fluff prop

## About The Pull Request
Replaces the Healing Touch component on Changeling-spawned Flesh Spiders
with the Regenerator component, as the comment helpfully suggests.
Flesh Spiders can no longer touch themselves to heal, instead they
automatically begin regenerating their health if they go four seconds
without taking damage. It takes 6 seconds to fully regenerate, so 10
seconds to fully heal from the edge of death (less if you're not that
injured).
Also I changed the sprite for flesh spider eggs to a different one we
already had rather than regular spider eggs tinted red, just because I
felt like it.
Would be cool to give the spiders their own sprite some time, but that's
for another PR.
_Additionally_ the flavour text for flesh spiders was kind of messed up
by being shoved into the objectives box and claiming that it was a
directive from a spider queen you don't have, so I gave them their own
slightly different antag datum to compensate.
It also actually mentions how you heal yourself, which previously was
down to trial and error or codediving.
In the course of doing this I decided to just... move flesh spiders to
their own type path. It _sort of_ made sense for them to be part of the
giant spider typepath, but they keep being modified by changes targetted
at "balancing the Giant Spiders antagonist" which this mob isn't related
to and doesn't have any reason to follow. The fact that a mob has
similar stats to another one isn't automatically a reason to share a
typepath, and now that I have looked a little at this mob I'm sort of
interested in branching it further away from "it's a spider mob but
spawned a different way" in the future.
Finally, this spider egg cluster and the midwife one would prompt ghosts
with a radial menu with a single option on it... that's a bit pointless,
so we'll bypass that menu if there is only one possible outcome.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Currently Flesh Spiders heal by clicking on themselves and standing
still for two seconds, restoring 50% of their HP. This means they can
fully regenerate over 4 seconds unless you stun them, and with 90 HP
you're not _that_ likely to kill one during the channel time.
This just feels like an odd way for the creature to operate,
regenerating instead gives it a hit-and-run strategy and adds more use
to their webs (maybe we should give them meatier or bloody webs at some
point? Might be cool).
Also clicking yourself to heal is just unintuitive and I suspect several
players just didn't realise they could do it in the first place.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Flesh Spiders heal automatically over time if they go a short
time without taking damage, instead of healing large chunks by clicking
themselves and waiting two seconds.
qol: Spider egg clusters which only hatch into one kind of spider don't
ask you to select that one type from a radial menu with one option on
it.
qol: As a Flesh Spider, the game now tells you how you can heal
yourself.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a passive, radial scan to the Active Sonar module.
This will scan a 1/8th slice around the player for any creatures, and
place a much smaller marker over them for the player to see.
These small markers do not update their location when the scanned
creature moves, unlike the normal markers.
Activating the module initiates the normal full scan, which scans the
entire radius at once rather than just a slice. Doing so will put _both_
scans in cooldown.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Honestly I still felt the Active Sonar was a little weak even after I
tried to buff it a little.
I wanted to initially find a way to make the large scan effects smoothly
move with whoever you're following, but since I couldn't manage to
figure that out instead I went with a recommendation from ninjanomnom to
make a radial scan.
I think this is far more interesting either way

## About The Pull Request
I remembered today that blob code is ass, especially blob spores.
There's still a lot to improve but I cleaned up _some_ of it by
converting these mobs.
Now they use a newer framework and more signal handling as compared to
circular references.
I _expect_ the behaviour here to largely be the same as it was or
similar. I haven't added anything fancy or new.
This is a reasonably big PR but at least all of the files are small?
Everything here touched every other thing enough that it didnt make
sense to split up sorry.
Other things I did in code:
- Experimented with replacing the `mob/blob` subtype with a component.
Don't know if this is genius or stupid.
- AI subtree which just walks somewhere. We've used this behaviour a lot
but never given it its own subtree.
- Blob Spores and Zombies are two different mobs now instead of being
one mob which just changes every single one of its properties.
- Made a few living defence procs call super, because the only thing
super does was send a signal and we weren't doing that for no reason.
Also added a couple extra signals for intercepts we did not have.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Blob spores will respond to rallies more reliably (it won't runtime
every time they try and pathfind).
fix: Blobbernaut pain animation overlays should align with the direction
the mob is facing instead of always facing South

mob framework. They should work the same, but please report any issues.

## About The Pull Request
Zap strength is now measured in joules. Scales everything to account for
this.
NT CIMS will now display the zap power transmission in watts, instead of
a modifier. This will allow you to actually see how much power the
supermatter is generating accurately, without knowledge of hidden
multipliers. NT CIMs will also show the internal energy gain from heat
in eV/K/s, so you can easily figure out how internal energy gain works,
and how much energy gain it actually gives. The internal energy
measurement will also adjust its prefix. Internal energy is now a
measure of internal energy, rather than internal energy density,
removing the "/cm^3".
Here is what it looked like:
This image was created on an earlier commit where the numbers were wrong
due to a hidden multiplier that got removed later, so keep that in mind.
Also fixes inactive supermatters unnecessarily scaling delta time. The
high energy (>5GeV) additional zaps now also scale with delta time.
The code in this PR is absolute garbage trash and there are some major
issues, so I'm drafting this for now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes it more clear what the factors add, and also how much power the SM
is releasing. Zap strength being measured in joules will simplify a lot
of things, making power balance more clear rather than guessimating.
Adjusting the prefix for internal energy is just the natural thing to
do. The per cubic centimeter part of internal energy would imply it is
energy density, however it is functionally not. It would probably
confuse people thinking the volume of the turf or the size of the
supermatter actually matters for what the internal energy does, when it
does not (except for gas absorption I guess, which changes heating/mol
requirements, but nothing else), so I am removing that part.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: NT CIMs shows how much power the supermatter is releasing.

to reach that.
del: Removes the per cubic centimeter part of internal energy.
fix: Fix unnecessary delta time scaling on inactive supermatters.
fix: Fix high energy zaps not scaling with delta time.
fix: Fixes grounding rods lying about potential power you can generate.

## About The Pull Request
i got bored so i made some new spawners, mainly for mappers but maybe an
admin will use them too. pics here:
firstly, this adds crushed can spawners, for if you want a random
crushed can sprite in your map, and don't really care which it is.
if you _do_ care, however - you can set the var/random_icon field on one
of these to 0, in your copy of strongdmm. then just change the icon
state to whatever specific can design you'd like it to be (ie:
"wellcheers")
here you can see a few of them in action
secondly, this adds doughnut, jelly doughnut, and slime jelly doughnut
spawners - pictured below
these use a weighted list based on flavor - more down to earth flavors
are more common, while more interesting and unique flavors like bungo
and blumpkin are a bit rarer.
thirdly, this adds a shipping container spawner. this one uses a
weighted list so the super obvious syndi corps are rare, less obvious
ones are less rare, and regular corporate ones are common. here you can
see a few.

remove weeds and remove dead plants. they will also use their solarbeam
ability to provide small healing to damaged plants. it will try to
refill its bucket with water if there is a water source near by. it will

## About The Pull Request
This PR gives operative MODsuits access to "jump jets".
This is an activated module (starts pinned) with a 30 second cooldown
which removes your personal gravity for 5 seconds and (if possible)
pushes you upwards by one z level. In combination with your regular
jetpack this allows you to fly over gaps, and (most importantly) out of
pits such as you may inadvertently find yourself wandering into on
Icebox.
I have a few other changes I want to make specifically targetted at the
experience of Icebox station destruction causing people to fall several
z levels and get trapped, but this is the first one.
You have to stand still for 1 second to activate the jump jet. This is
because jetpack movement without gravity is actually usually faster than
an operative will walk, and I don't want them to just toggle it as a
sprint button while running around. If people find other tactical uses
for this though I think that's cool.
This module currently isn't available to crew on the tech web, although
maybe someone could add it later if they wanted to. It's not quite so
useful if you don't _also_ have a jetpack though.
I bumped the available complexity of the suits I attached it to up by
the complexity cost of this module so it's not taking up previously
available space.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's funny when the whole ops team falls in a hole after an explosion
they caused and gets stuck in there fighting Snow Legions but they
should probably have some method for dealing with that.
It also lets them pop back up from the tram hole, a risky proposition
because any flying mob hit by the tram dies almost instantly.

## About The Pull Request
Replaces the Traitor's Camera Bug item with an application that allows
you to view camera apps.
The difference between this app and the Security one is that it does not
have an access requirement, does not make noise (it didn't previously
due to a bug, fixed in this PR), and can be installed on PDAs.
This can also be installed from syndienet, which means nukies now have a
way to see the station cameras while off the ship.
Adds Syndicate app disks, which are made of Gold. This is only used by
the Camera app as of right now.
I also fixed some issues along the way;
- Camera tablet app now properly shows cameras
- It now properly makes the noises it is supposed to
- It clears the viewers properly on the ui being closed or the app being
exited.
Syndicate app disks ddelete their apps upon being transferred over (like
maintenance disks), trying to remain consistent with previous behavior.
I also made this for a [personal project I am currently working
on](https://hackmd.io/XLt5MoRvRxuhFbwtk4VAUA). I could just make this UI
be TGUI, but I thought it could be worth trying to turn it into a better
item first.
Tracking people is much simpler now- You choose anyone from a list of
people found on cameras, and it will try to find a camera that sees
them. It follows them until you close the app or switch camera.

## Why It's Good For The Game
The Camera Bug is one of the worst traitor items as of current. You can
remotely shut off a single camera, something that can be done with basic
tools you are likely carrying around anyways, and uses an HTML clunky UI
to flip through cameras.
This new Traitor item makes it much easier to use, since the camera
consoles are something you are likely already used to.
It also means emagging a tablet is slightly more useful, and golden data
disks are pretty cool.
Unfortunately this means that they no longer grant illegal tech, because
otherwise you can simply clone the app infinitely for personal use, and
deconstruct the disk itself for tech. This can be grinded into gold, but
I think if we want an illegal tech item, it'll have to find a new host.

## About The Pull Request
With the blessings of @Watermelon914 I am removing the two objectives
for placing posters and spraying graffiti.
These old objectives are not dead. Their items have moved to the
Badassery section of the uplink.
A box of 3 demotivational posters can be bought for 1TC with 0 rep.
The spraycan can be bought for 1TC with 0 rep.
In their place comes one new objective and one extended objective.
The new objective is Assault a Crewmember. This objective requires you
to attack the specified target 2-5 times (random on objective
generation). It tallies from any attack that filters through the
`/datum/element/relay_attackers` element and has an "attacker"
associated with it.
Although it asks you not to kill the other player, it doesn't fail if
you kill them.
I have expanded the low-risk theft objectives with items like a mime
mask, lawyer badge and a fake moustache (commonly on cooks).
Finally, I've added a very low level set of steal-and-destroy objectives
aimed at some items that will require a bit of basic breaking and
entering, and the destruction of which may hurt crew morale.
```
/datum/objective_item/steal/traitor/donut_box
/datum/objective_item/steal/traitor/rpd
/datum/objective_item/steal/traitor/space_law

/datum/objective_item/steal/traitor/lizard_plush
/datum/objective_item/steal/traitor/moth_plush
/datum/objective_item/steal/traitor/insuls
```
This PR also fixes clown shoes missing a proc override to allow them to
actually register as a theft objective.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Basically my discussion with Watermelon focused on the idea that the
graffiti and poster objectives weren't really crimes. They baited
antagonists into very passive play early-game.
These new replacements encourage a more antagonistic playstyle. Starting
fights plus B&E are two bread-and-butter play paradigms for antaggery.
Giving a few early game theft + destroy options with a mix of impactful
items (like insuls and RPDs) versus more symbolic or emotive items
(plushies, donut boxes, Cargonia stamps) gets antagonists out and about
in the station, warming themselves up.
And having an objective to assault players (even if you don't kill them)
allows cheeky antags with a penchant for shittery to start fights with
players and start genuinely impacting the shift, involving sec and
drawing players into their antaggery.
Both of these natually ease players into the more substantive theft and
murder objectives.
The existing spray and posters are actually thematically super cool.
Traitors now have even more access to them since they can be bought for
1TC per spraycan/3-pack of posters. This lets antags with TC to spare
run gimmicks around them and adds extra fun to the Badassery section.
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
This PR replaces clone damage dealt by slimes with a new status effect,
"Covered in Slime".
The status effect is applied when you wrestle a slime off. The status
effect has a chance of not applying if your biohazard protection on your
head and chest is good enough.
It deals brute damage over time and gets removed when you stand under
the shower for about 10 seconds or when you are about to enter softcrit.
As a direct consequence of adding this feature I added showers to the
North Star and Birdshot Xenobiology Labs. I'm sorry, I'm sure you wanted
to make a statement with this, but we kind of require them in there now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
One source of clone damage eliminated whilst hopefully keeping a
"unique" interaction when dealing with slimes. No other source of clone
damage has been touched.
Clone damage is a damage type that shouldn't exist anymore, it's a relic
left from the era of cloning and it's so specific of a damage type that
it rarely gets used as a result. It really should be a type of
affliction (wound etc) instead of its own damage counter.
However, some things in the game still depend on clone damage being
around, so those needs to be addressed first.
We start off with slimes in this PR.
This status effect either lets you either continue with your work if you
react fast enough or it forces you to medbay, giving a victim more
control over the situation, as opposed to just being dealt a rare damage
type that always forces you to go to medbay if you want it healed.

Whatever you do, if it warrants the use of something like
`handle_atom_del`, chances are `Exited` can do it better, as most of
these cases involve movables that shouldn't be moved out of their loc
(`Destroy` forcefully moves movables to nullspace) without calling
specific procs, and for the remaining few, `handle_atom_del` doesn't
even cover the eventuality of a movable being deleted outside the source
atom, so it's quite garbage.
Beside, I feel confident in saying `handle_atom_del()` is older than the
DCS, an echo on the workarounds done at the time.
## About The Pull Request
- Gives engineers an RCD as part of their round start equipment
- RCD by default will build/deconstruct slower if you already have
another one in progress. This can be upgraded with the new cooling
upgrade disk. Reconstructing (anything that was there roundstart as per
the destructive scan) doesn't have this downside, only
construction/deconstruction.
- RCD construction effects can now be attacked in order to cancel them.
This can be deterred with the anti-disruption upgrade disk.
- RCDs for nukies and whatever don't have these downsides
- The CE's roundstart RCD also doesn't have these downsides
## Why It's Good For The Game
Construction and reconstruction are currently one of the worst aspects
of SS13--they are so slow and tedious that any sort of mass destruction
goes unfixed for 10-30+ minutes, if fixed at all. This limits us because
it means people don't want traitors to create large explosions, for
instance--I do and so I think it's crucial that we fix construction.
Reconstruction has already been improved on the RCD with the destructive
scans, but I see no reason to limit this to something so out of the way.
Ideally the RCD even gets more functionalities, like the ability to
print stock parts (or having stock parts removed), etc, in order to
lessen this burden.

balance: RCD construction/deconstruction is now slower if you already
have another effect up. This does not effect reconstruction.

## About The Pull Request
ectoplasmic anomalies randomly move. this makes it so trying to control
it as deadchat is like wrangling a fish. it's probably an oversight more
than anything as most other deadchat controlled things don't move on
their own for no reason
## Why It's Good For The Game
this is probably an oversight more than anything. ectoplasm anomalies
are supposed to be deadchat controllable but they move so damn often
that really isn't feasible. discovered when deadchat was wondering why
the anomaly was just wandering off into nowhere
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Makes the ectoplasm anomaly not randomly move so deadchat can
actually control it
