Here's a screenshot:

Explanation: The boned fish's revive ability added a timer that would
randomly fire in the next one-to-two minutes. Due to this inherent
randomness, create-and-destroy would locate the fact that we were
hanging refs to this fish since the timer may not have processed by the
time the fish was deleted (probably if the timer was considerably more
than one minute), so in order to fix this let's just add the
`TIMER_DELETE_ME` flag to the revive ability so that the timer get's
`qdel`'d on the fish's `Destroy()`. simple
i probably cocked up some detail of the above explanation but the timer
flag was literally created to prevent stuff like this from happening so
let's use it

## About The Pull Request
This PR does many things, I'll try to explain the basic/background stuff
to the main thing first:
1. Adds a new remote that allows a human to function like an AI. It
controls a fly that will fly around the station slowly, and when it
reaches a machine then the person can interact with it as if they were
an AI. This required changing a lot of silicon/AI checks with one that
also checks for this remote, and some messing with shared ui state.
2. Moves req_access from the obj and bot to ``/atom/movable`` which lets
it be shared between the two, no more copy-paste and one side lacking
features/checks/signals the other has.
3. Adds a check for AI config for AI-related station traits, which was
lacking prior
Now for the good part...
Adds a new station trait that replaces the AI with a Human.
This person is equipped with an AI headset (including Binary), an
advanced camera console, an omni door wand, the machine controller, and
their laws.
They are immune to the SAT's turrets (even if set to target borgs) and
are slow outside of the SAT, mimicing the actions of the AI.
They interact with the world through their advanced camera console,
which allows them to do most AI stuff needed, and the holopad they can
connect to without having to ring first (like Command can).
They are given a paper with the laws they must follow, but since they
are human they are able to bend it. Cyborgs that run the default lawset
are "slaved" to them via an unremovable law 0, so the Human AI can bend
the laws if they really need to (for their own survival n such), and
make the cyborgs obey their commands above laws, but in general this
shouldn't be a frequent occurrence. This does take into account the
unique AI trait, so it's not guaranteed Asimov.
When this station trait rolls, all Intellicards, AI uploads, and AI core
boards are destroyed and are unresearchable. They can be spawned by
admins in-game if necessary. Maybe in the future we can also exclude
Oldstation from this but I haven't really decided.
Extra perks:
Human AI spawns with a Robotic voicebox (unless they are a body purist)
and teleport blocking implant, so they can't use teleporters to bypass
their on-station slowdown.
They also have an infinite laser pointer that can be used to blind
through their camera console. This is unfortunately nerfed from the
recent borg balance PR that removed its stun. This was meant to be the
alternative to no longer being able to permanently lock borgs down like
AIs can (or more than one, for that matter).
They aren't affected by Roburgers, Acid, and Fuel's toxicity.
Bots salute them like they do Beepsky (which is now a trait)
They spawn with SyndEye to replace the AI's tracking ability
They do not have a bank account
### The machine remote
The machine remote has a little fly in it that flies to the machines it
is pointed to, working as the arms and legs of the Human AI. It scans
the machine and punches in the action the AI does, and is how the AI
accesses basically anything. This fly slowly moves from one machine to
the next, and can be recalled with Alt Click.
It works on machines and bots.

## Why It's Good For The Game
I've seen a funny screenshot one day of a person replacing the AI by
using a bunch of door remotes, camera console, crew monitoring console,
and a few other things. I've been thinking about that for a few years
and really wanted to make it official if not easier to make possible,
because it is an incredibly funny interaction.
This makes it a reality, and while they aren't as powerful as regular
AIs, I think it makes for better and funnier in-game moments. With the
same weight as Cargorilla (1), I hope this wouldn't be rolling too often
and ruin rounds, but instead show off the different capabilities that
Humans and AIs can do, to do the job of an AI. You win some you lose
some.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new line reel, which speeds up the baiting phase of the
fishing minigame and skips the biting phase, thus starting the minigame
without the initial input from the player.
The auto-reel line will also throw items (or other people/things, if you
have the right hook) in your direction when snagged, with the added
bonus of catching the item mid-air. Turn your fishing rod into a
discount meat hook.
I've lowered the deceleration coefficient and bounce threshold of the
minigame by 1/4. My rationale is that these two numbers are a must lest
we end up with an uncontrollable mess of a minigame, though they also
feel like a sack of flour hitting gravel rn, making specific hooks like
the bi-directional one and the weighted other a bit useless.
Another change is to the baiting and biting phase. Previously, if you
clicked anywhere during the baiting phase, it'd reset the whole timer
back to any value between 1 and 30 seconds, spelling futility to the
time you've just spent waiting. Now, it'll simply add another 4 seconds
or so to the current timer, capping at 30s.
One last thing*. Once the biting phase start, the faster your input is,
the higher the starting completion of the minigame will be, and the
other way around, if you're very slow. The difficulty variable can also
lower the starting completion.
*I lied. I've also added a short cooldown to casting a fishing rod so
you can't just spam it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Finetuning the minigame, quality of life and balance, making fishing
even more gimmicky.
## Changelog
🆑 Ghommie
add: Added a new fishing line reel that speeds up the first half of the
fishing minigame, and also let's you catch things from afar like a
discount meat hook.
balance: During the biting phase preceeding the actual minigame,
initiating it as soon as the "!!!" alert pops up will net you an
advantage. Conversely...
qol: Clicking during the baiting phase will no longer wholly reset it
and make you lose your patience. Instead, it'll delay the next phase by
about 4 seconds.
balance: The deceleration and bounce should feel less sudden and stiff,
meaning the controls are 25% more slippery again.
balance: Added a cooldown to spam-casting fishing rods.
imageadd: Resprited line reels a little.

## About The Pull Request
I cannot make features and the such this month, so I may as well take
some time to improve AnturK's abysmal codersprites. Some came out
decent, some pretty good. Hopefully you can guess that's a catfish now.
This PR includes a small bit of code changes concerning the aquarium and
one of its props, both pretty bad-looking. I had to modify a dozen lines
of code so that the aquarium stuff is aesthetically layered correctly
(splitting it in multiple icon states), while also replacing the 'rock
floor' prop with 'sand' because it looked pretty bad and hard to read.
The lanternfish, goldfish and pufferfish still need to be resprited.
I'll get to it in a later PR.
## Why It's Good For The Game
So, I've recently checked out the sprites for fish on Goonstation, and
remembered how bad ours are. I drew inspiration from the "googlier" eyes
some of their fishes have, though nothing was copied. Hower, I'm still
crediting Goonstation for reminding me how awful our codersprites are.
Here's the after and before (angel fish missing from the latter 'cuz I

## About The Pull Request
This PR includes a series of small changes and additions to hooks and
reel lines, as well as the aforementioned bounties. My objective here is
to make the (base) hook and reel line feel more useful. Ditto with a few
other things.
Here's the list of changes:
- Almost all fishing rods come with a hook and reel line pre-installed.
The rod from the fishing toolbox comes with separate hook and reel line.
- Without a hook, you cannot fish. Without a reel line, the cast range
is reduced (from 5 to 3).
- Fishing with a reel line installed provides a mild boon to completion
speed by default.
- The sinewy reel line (craftable from lavaland mobs) can now be used to
fish on lava / liquid plasma, but it's a bit stiff and gives a mild
malus to completion speed.
- Unlike other hooks, the rescue and jawed hooks now allow you to cast a
line and reel in living mobs too, not only items. They even get a status
alert they can click to un-snag themselves, or move away far enough to
achieve the same effect.
- Master fishing rod buffed. It now comes with a flexible reel line and
weighted hook pre-installed, and can be cast further than other rods.
- On top of that, the jawed hook will slow down living mobs snagged by
it and is a bit harder to remove.
- when casting a line, it will now show the icon of the current hook as
projectile, not a generic one.
- Reeling now correctly checks movement resistance and anchorage.
- Reeling an object (or a mob) now plays a sound. Ditto for
installing/removing slotted items.
- A few balloon alert feedbacks.
- Minor code improvements.
- The jawed hook should look a smidge sharper.
- reel lines are now small items.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The base hook and reel line didn't do anything begin with, and you would
do just fine without them. In the end it's just a bit unintuitive for
them not to be a requirement.
Beside that, it makes sense for the rescue hook to be able to snag mobs,
so they may as well be used to drag people out of lava or liquid plasma.
As for the jawed hook, it always felt to me a bit underwhelming and a
bit of a filler I had cooked up on the moment. It really could have some
'tactical' utility in virtue of being one of those niche black market
items.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Most fishing rods come with a hook and line preinstalled. Fishing
toolboxes come with separate reel and lines as usual.
balance: Fishing hooks are now required to fish.
balance: Without a reel line, the range of fishing rods is reduced by
two tiles. Conversely, having one installed gives a mild buff to the
minigame completion speed.
balance: The craftable sinewy reel line can now be used to fish on lava
or liquid plasma, but it's a bit harder to use.
balance: The rare-to-find-in-maintenance master fishing rod now comes
with a flexible line and weighted hook preinstalled, and has better
range than other rods.
balance: Fishing reel lines are now small enough to fit pockets.
add: The rescue and jawed hook can now snag and reel in mobs, not only
items. The jawed hook also slows down when applied, a la beartrap.
qol: Fish bounties now accept filled (stasis) fish cases.
qol: Several balloon alerts for fishing rod interactions.
fix: Reeling in items (and mobs) now respects movement resistance and
anchorage.
fix: Fixed the fishing rod equipment UI being too small to fit its
components.
sound: Reeling in something now plays a sound.

## 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.

## About The Pull Request
Implements half of this (with some minor changes):

The ultimate goal of this is to split our attack chain in two:
- One for non-combat item interactions
- Health analyzer scanning
- using tools on stuff
- surgery
- Niche other interactions
- One for combat attacking
- Item hit thing, item deal damage.
- Special effects on attack would go here.
This PR begins this by broadining tool act into item interact.
Item interact is a catch-all proc ran at the beginning of attack chain,
before `pre_attack` and such, that handles the first part of the chain.
This allows us to easily catch item interaction and cancel the attack
part of the chain by using deliberate bitflag return values, rather than
`TRUE` / `FALSE`*.
*Because right now, `TRUE` = `cancel attack`, no matter what, which is
unclear to people.
Instead of moving as much as possible to the new proc in this PR, I
started by doing some easy, obvious things. More things can be moved in
the future, or technically they don't even need to move in a lot of
cases.

Code to handle this flag only ever existed on the `/obj` sublevel, so

I didn't know that people needed to add any new traits to a global list
so they can be easily read in View Variables, and was pretty shocked to
find out many other people didn't know it was a thing. Let's make it a
thing by testing it using a new CI Python Linter to check this. But oh
no-

There were about 200+ missing traits. Alright, so let's do the
following:
* Move trait defines to their own dedicated folder in the `_DEFINES`
folder.
* Split up the traits mega-file into different files, for better
organization. One for the macros, one for the sources, and a few for the
"trait declarations"
* Run the linter a load of times and add everything to the globalvars
file, removing anything that's no longer used and figuring out where the
best categorization of it is. also minor code improvements. also rename
all of the ones that look weird. also fix list indentations
* Also alphabetize the lists because it's easy
* Move everything to a new `traits_by_type` list, while keeping the
admin one the way it is for the time being while we figure out a better
way to show that list to admins.
* Profit
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mapping trait injectors will now work for any type of trait. You
shouldn't add any trait via this injector though, but you're no longer
limited to coders remembering to add it to that critical list you
needed.
Lays the framework for a better view variables experience. This work is
too lengthy to presently do, but hopefully we can get this done sooner
rather than later. we will need a code-accessible way to view these
traits for such a framework to be implemented, so let's just do that.
Future steps are to break down the mega-declarations file into a folder
full of separate files by typepath, but that requires a lot of auditing.
Does need to happen one day though, there's a lot of mob traits mingled
with datum traits and auuugh we gotta do this later this PR is already
massive.
there's probably ways to game this but this catches _my_ mistakes so
good luck to everyone else (it should work for 99% of everyone)
## Changelog
Nothing applicable to players. However, to mappers, the mapping trait
injector should always be able to add any kind of trait (which is rather
good for the times when you need it).

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds three basic/assistant bounties for shipping fish. The
reward is above par when compared to other basic bounties, however, each
shipped fish that is either dead or comes from a case (bought from
cargo, cause that's lazy) will reduce the payout by a portion of it,
also the pool of assistant bounties is quite big you wouldn't roll them
too often.
The three bounties are the following: One for any kind of fish, another
for fish of matching fluid type (freshwater, saltwater, sulphuric
water), and lastly, one for specific types of fish, possibly easy money
if RNG is with you.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I wanted to add something diffrent from most grimy assistant/basic
bounties where you either just print the stuff from the nearby autolathe
or fetch it for little money. Also, this provides another outlet to
fishing, I guess.

add: Fish cases to store and preserve life fish within can be now

## About The Pull Request
Added a reagent holder to aquarium tanks and some code to enable the
fish to be automatically fed at selectable intervals of 1 minute to 7
(default 3). The holder can be accessed and filled by opening the
control panel, and emptied with a plunger if necessary. Simple plumbing
compatibility has been added as well, in case you think the 6 units of
capacity of the reagent holder (enough to feed a fish 60 times) are not
enough. The preset fishing tank starts with enough feed to keep its
contents alive for 30 minutes.
Beside that, I've fixed a small oversight with the fish analyzer goodie
pack. It should cost 150, not 500.
The fish catalog is now a goodie pack you can get as a goodie for dirt
cheap (25 creds) and a subtype of `book/manual`, so there's a slim
chance you may find it at the library or somewhere else.
Fixed a small oversight inside the fish catalog.
Mapped in a single aquarium kit for each station map, in the service
hallway/storage room where the techfab and cargo consoles are also
found.
Aquarium kits are now compatible with slapcrafting.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Aquariums require too much maintainance for a gimmick, and it's quite
awful to see the fish inside preset aquariums die 5 minutes into the
round. Also, you cannot get fish catalogs anywhere but from the aquarium
kit crate, which costs 1k credits, though its pertinence with fishing
goes beyond aquarium stuff.
Lastiy, I think it's good to give the crew a free aquarium kit. The
price of the supply pack is a bit out of reach for many, service could
use a bit of fisciculture too (I may make it a service pack later, so
that it can be ordered through the service console).
## Changelog
🆑
add: Aquariums now have a small internal reagent holder, accessible when
the panel is open and used to automatically feed the fishes at
selectable intervals, also compatible with plumbing.
add: Fish catalogs can now be bought as a goodie pack, for 25 cr, or
rarely found at the library or maints.
fix: Fixed the prices of fish analyzers. It's supposed to be 150 cr, not
500.
map: Added an aquarium kit to each station, found in the room where the
service techfab and order console also are.
qol: Aquarium kits are now compatible with slapcrafting (crafted by
hitting them with the required material without opening the menu).

section to "Service" and "Livestock" respectively, meaning they can be

## About The Pull Request
This is a PR I worked on last month, but had to put on hold while
dealing with some pressing issues with fishing feature, minigame and
other stuff, and because I had to atomize out some of the stuff
previously present here.
I've expanded on the fishing portal generator to do something other than
dispense guppies and goldfishes. It now has multiple settings,
unlockable by performing scanning experiments for fish types, available
from the get go, which also reward a meager amount of techweb points
upon completion. The generator can now be built too. No longer it has to
be ordered from cargo.
It can also be emagged for the syndicate setting, tho right now it only
dispenses donkfish and emulsijack, both otherwise impossible to get
outside of... exodrone adventures.
The advanced fishing rod now comes with an experiment handler component,
specific to the fish scanning experiment, that automatically scans
fished content. The node to get it now requires 2000 points and the
first fish scanning exp to be unock.
A new skillchip has been added, which adds a trait that changes the icon
of the fish shown in the minigame UI, giving some clues on what the
reward will be. The same trait is also gained by reaching the master
(penultimate) level of the fishing skill.
A new fish type has been added, with its own quirks. One of these quirks
included temporarily switching movement direction of the bait.
Currently, it can only be fished in the hyperspace and randomizer
setting of the fishing portal.
Screenshots:


## Why It's Good For The Game
The fishing portal generator is but a stale and underdeveloped prototype
of the fishing feature right now, so much I was thinking of removing it
at first. However, we also have a lot of fishes which are pretty much
unfishable, so I came up with the idea of adding new portal settings
that allow people to actually get them.
As for the skillchip and trait, it's but an extra to both the vending
machine in the library and the fishing skill itself, which has an
overall humble impact on the minigame.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Expanded the fishing portal generator. It now comes with several
portal options that can be unlocked by performing fish scanning
experiments, which also award a modest amount of techweb points.
balance: The fishing portal generator is now buildable and no longer
orderable. The board can be printed from cargo, service and science
lathes.
balance: Advanced fishing tech is no longer a BEPIS design. It now
requires the base fish scanning experiment and 2000 points to be
unlocked.
add: The advanced fishing rod now comes with an incorporated
experiscanner specific for fish scanning.
add: Added a new skillchip that may change the icon of the "fish" shown
in the minigame UI to less generic ones. Reaching master level in
fishing also does that.
qol: The experiment handler UI no longer shows unselectable experiments.

## About The Pull Request
This should also fix the hooked item exploit for real now, but to avoid
further goofs, I'm keeping this as a draft until I finish running the
game locally.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes#78357.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Actually fixed the hooked item exploit.

## About The Pull Request
That of beams being layered below mobs has been a minor issue ever since
that mess that is FoV was implemented (with the exception of chain
lighting of the 'lighting' holoparasite type). I'm changing the plane of
beams to GAME_PLANE_UPPER_FOV_HIDDEN along a couple other things.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Re-read the above section, also fishing lines shouldn't generally glow
in the dark like very thin lightsabers, and them being layered below
mobs has always been a peeve to me.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fixed beams rendering below mobs by default.
fix: The fishing line beam is no longer emissive (it doesn't glow in the
dark).

## About The Pull Request
Fixes https://github.com/Skyrat-SS13/Skyrat-tg/issues/23763
Somewhere along https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/77739 and
the following fishing PR's this feature got overlooked and broken.
The args for `dispense_reward()` and `find_chasm_contents()` needed to
be updated as they were just wrong.
This sets them straight and adds an additional fishing unit test for the
rescue hook to hopefully prevent this edge case from being overlooked.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Rescue hooks work again, hooray.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: rescue hooks will once again drop the mob next to the fisherman
instead of just displaying a balloon alert and doing nothing

In no case, neither the origin nor the target of a fishing line are
turfs. This was actually meant to check their locations.

## About The Pull Request
The bait wasn't being consumed properly because it was badly coded.
Whoopsies.
The achievement would be unlocked upon gaining legendary rank ONLY IF
you won the minigame. My bad.
Upon win (and loss), the fishing minigame would often be prematurely
closed before ui act could run due to internal calls to do that. A
classic example of race condition.
Last but not least, the fishing hook exploit that would allow items to
be in multiple places, including nullspace, and cause a load of issues.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This PR should fix all of them. Closes#78210, closes#78204, closes
#78187, closes#77265, closes#77265, closes#73014.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fixed a race condition that made fishing yield no reward way too
often.
fix: The legendary fisher achievement is awarded even if you don't win
the minigame.
fix: Fixed a fish hook exploit.
fix: Baits are now properly consumed by caught fish and (alive) mobs.

The gain for second were 10 lower than they were supposed to be, since I
hadn't taken into account the deciseconds. I've also a cap on the gain
and lowered the necessary time just to be sure it doesn't take too much
time to attain the legendary tier anyway. I may bump it up later if
people say it's too easy.

## About The Pull Request
During my first fishing related PR, I hadn't yet know that for the
`fish_counts` var to work, its contents also had to be within the
`fish_table` list, thus I ended up adding stuff that's not actually
fishable. Also there was no unit test to enforce that design, which is
lame.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixing the issues explained above. Basically #78019 but done right.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: You can now actually fish soggy wallets from toilets, rare ores on
ice moon, some boney stuff in oil puddles (good luck finding them) and
lube-fishes by the seawater.

## About The Pull Request
This ensures that the compact fishing toolbox only holds small objects,

## Why It's Good For The Game

## Changelog
🆑
fix: Compact fishing toolboxes no longer break space and time to contain
any normal-sized object. Instead, they only break space and time to
contain fishing rods. Settlers migrating to Nanotrasen space have no
reasonable explanation for this phenomenon.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
This PR contains a few changes that I hadn't got to do earlier,
including: different pressure / air mixture thresholds for different
fish (if amphibious), fish being able to be fed directly without the
need of an aquarium, replacing the `available_in_random_cases` variable
with a weight define of value 0, the preset fishing sources global list
so we don't have to manually instantiate lazy fishing spots and assign
them stupid string defines, chasm detritus made into datums, a couple
balloon alerts and removal of unused code.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The fishing portal generator UI is unused, the perfect variable for the
fishing minigame is also unused.
There's no reason for chasm detritus to be an item instead of a datum.
It isn't a map spawner.
Chasm chrabs, if given the amphibious trait, should be able to survive
Lavaland/Icemoon's atmosphere.
I don't even know why I made a snowflake proc to instantiate the
evolutions global list instead of `init_subtypes_w_path_keys`
The shiny lover and wary fish traits were actually making the minigame
slightly easier.
The background icons for the UI had a zero-alpha, one pixel thin stripe
on top that needed to be colored.
Improved `fish_source/proc/dispense_reward`.
Some doc comments and a typo or two.
## Changelog
🆑
add: You can now feed fish with the can of fish feed without having to
put the fish in a aquarium first.
balance: Some fish may survive in different, harsher atmospheres if
given the amphibious trait, like chasm chrabs on lavaland.
qol: aquarium now uses balloon alerts when feeding fish.
fix: The wary and shiny lover no longer incorrectly remove difficulty
from the minigame if conditions aren't met.

## About The Pull Request
Adds the Settler quirk. This gives you bonuses to taming animals and
fishing, as well as making you gain hunger slower than others.
However, you are quite a bit slower than most people, and have trouble
with vaulting objects. You do, however, suffer significantly less from
equipment slowdown. (to the point that it is almost zero)
Settler riders are faster on their mounts than others if they're at
least sane. They start to slow down if they're less sane.
You are also shorter than most people.
<details>
<summary>Typical Settler encounters the typical Spacer</summary>

</details>
## Why It's Good For The Game
I wanted to add a lightweight quirk that was kind of the 'opposite' of
Spacer, but a little more focused on interacting with elements of the
game world that would enjoy some attention. So, I thought 'what about an
outdoorsman quirk?'
So, I based it around being from people who lived out on the rim, under
unideal circumstances (and probably heavier gravity than Earth), and
taming the land. The slower movespeed encourages finding an animal to
tame that you can ride, and the bonuses to taming should help make that
a bit easier. The other additions just made sense for someone living it
a bit rough in the wilderness.
Having a bunch of settlers taming cows and riding around on them all
shift just kind of sounds hilarious to me.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Settler quirk! Conqueror the great outdoors....in space. Just make
sure nobody asks you to get anything from the top shelf.

## About The Pull Request
Exactly what it reads on the title. I shouldn't be bothered
thoroughfully explaining this with several paragraphs when it's only 3
lines of code affected.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I've sadly the dramatic timing of noticing my own slips minutes after
one of my PRs (#77420 in this case) get merged.
## Changelog
Barely any impact to the game beside perhaps ironically more generous
probability weights for fish without a bait.
## About The Pull Request
In this episode:
- Fishing without a bait is a noob trap, examining the rod will provide
you that information as well as a few other.
- Fishing without a bait will lower the odds of catching fish, but not
other objects.
- Catching objects that aren't fish or living mobs, or catching a dud
won't consume your bait.
- You're theorically* half as much more likely to catch fish even
without a bait.
- the synthetic bait from the tech fishing rod ignores preferences and
bait-related traits.
*I'm saying theorically because our `pick_weight()` doesn't support
decimal values. If the weight is lower than 1, (0.5 because we're
rounding), you're outta luck, get a bait.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Many people complain that fishing is tedious and that they almost always
catch nothing, even if they've probably forgotten to hook a bait to it,
because fishing without one (Really, just use any food, even that dollar
store snack is better than nothing) raises the odds of getting a dud
tenfold.
However, it's not completely their fault if nothing warns them against
it, which is why examining the fishing rod will tell you that.
The buff to the meager probability of catching a fish without a bait is
also due to the aforementioned decimal issue, but also because I
honestly believe even the most "skull-dented" player doesn't doesn't
deserve such a low chance.
"Inanimate" objects (well, fish are items, ironically) shouldn't
generally consume baits. Ditto for duds.
The tech fishing rod is nice on its own, but subpar to any other fishing
rod coupled with an amount of baits, since you're limited to what can be
caught with an unremovable doughball.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: Examining a fishing rod will now provide information on equipped
hook, line, bait, and right click functionality.
balance: Fishing without a bait will only lower the odds (a smidge less,
too) of catching fish, not other things.
balance: Catching something that isn't a fish or a living mob won't
consume the bait anymore.
balance: The Bepis fishing rod will now ignore fish's bait preferences.

## About The Pull Request
I'm slowly chipping away at mining mobs. These ones also got some new
sprites because the old ones were a bit weird except when facing South.

Arctic Lobstrosities are now hairy to give them a little more visual
distinction from Lavaland ones.
In terms of behaviour, they're now a little faster and can charge you
from further away.
They will _only_ attack players who are incapacitated in some way
(primarily from being hit by their charge, but could be from a Goliath
or something too) and will otherwise keep their distance until they can
charge again. They move slower for a short duration after charging
though, so you have time to slap them a bit.
If a Lobstrosity downs you then it will try to snip off one of your
arms, then retreat in order to eat it.
Obviously nobody likes losing an arm, but this does give you an
opportunity to get away while it is distracted? Funnily enough the way
our health system works means that sometimes losing that arm actually
takes you out of soft crit so you can stumble back to the station for a
replacement (or try to wrestle yours back?)
All of these things are achievable also by a player if you make one
sapient, they will pull arms off mobs they attack which are in crit and
can eat arms if they see them lying around if they want.
I added an element to let you dismember people with your bare hands,
maybe someone evil can use it to add a beheading attack some day.
Here's a video of their new behaviours:

## Why It's Good For The Game
Gives mobs more character.
Reduces our list of frozen simple mobs.
Replaces some ugly side sprites.
Medbay enrichment?
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Lobstrosities are now basic mobs and have different AI
behaviour. Please report anything which seems like it shouldn't be
happening.
add: Lobstrosities will now only opportunistically attack things they
have knocked over with their charge, and are otherwise timid.
add: Lobstrosities are hungry for fingers and will steal one of your
arms if they defeat you in combat, although this gives you time to crawl
away.
sprite: New sprites for Lobstrosities.

Listing the changes, off the top of my head:
- Resprited fishing rods, hooks, and the worm bait!
- Added a new, telescopic fishing rod, that can be bought as a goodie.
The master rod is also telescopic now.
- Added a couple hooks. One that lets you move the bait up and down,
otherwise keeping it in place, and another that stops the fish from
escaping, but slowly kills it. The former from the bepis fishing tech
node, the latter frm the black market.
- Added a fishing skill and relative legendary reward: A fishing hat,
like the one that recites "women fear me, fish fear me"
- You can now stop fishing by activating the fishing rod in your hand,
and stops it from stealing all clicks on other things if it isn't in
your active hand.
- Reworked fishing traits into fish traits, which can apply to fish
after it has been caught.
- Expanded the fish breeding system. Traits may be passed down to
offsprings, and offsprings may evolve (mutate?) into different kind of
fishes if conditions when conditions are met.
- Added half a dozen new fishes, each with its own traits: lubefish,
sludgefish (and its purple variant), slimefish, unmarine bonemass and
unmarine mastodon. Also, holodeck fish, as a joke.
- New traits: lubed skin, parthenogenesis, toxic (new reagent), toxin
immunity, predator, necrophage, no mating, crossbreeder, aggressive and
revival. Converted Emulsijack's ability and Donkfish's yuckiness into
traits as well.
- Added a fish analyzer that you can scan aquariums and fishes with.
- Fish can now be blended if you really want to. The number of reagents
from blending, w_class, and the number of fillets you get from cutting
fish now scale with size and weight.
- fish feed is no longer infinite (but it should still be plenty).
- Implemented temperature requirements for aquarium fish.
- You can now buy (dead) fish from the black market for dirt cheap.
- Last but now least, toilets are now valid fishing spots.

## About The Pull Request
This PR introduces a signal sent to the target when a lazarus injector
is being used on them, hence read the title.
EDIT: I've forgotten to add that Tom no longer counts toward the mice
population cap now, being unique.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Being items rather than simple/basic mobs, dead mice (without a mind
datum), bees and fishes cannot be revived by the lazarus injector. While
I agree that spending one for this may be an egregious waste of mining
points, it's still fleshing out the feature a bit.

## About The Pull Request
Signals were initially only usable with component listeners, which while
no longer the case has lead to outdated documentation, names, and a
similar location in code.
This pr pulls the two apart. Partially because mso thinks we should, but
also because they really aren't directly linked anymore, and having them
in this midstate just confuses people.
