This PR introduces a whole bunch of Coroner and Morbid related content.
Firstly, Morbid is now a mind trait, and specifically, coroners start
with it.
Coroners also have a liver trait that allows them to heal toxins (very
slowly) from eating pickles and drinking pickle juice. They also
can...drink formaldehyde. I guess. Dissections is thirsty work.
Coroners gain a whole set of special tools specifically for use in any
surgeries marked as interests of the Morbid. This is determined by the
``surgery_flag`` called ``SURGERY_MORBID_CURIOSITY``. Currently, these
surgeries are included;
dissections, autospies, revival surgery, plastic surgery, organ/feature
manipulations, amputations
To fit the theme, TRAIT_MORBID also applies the reduction to eye
snatchers.
While using their special tools, and the surgery is a morbid curiosity,
the coroner/anyone who is morbid gains a 30% speed boost! This stacks
with the dissection speed boost. Otherwise, the tools are just regular
tools with a special name (though the scalpel is better at killing
undead, because, you know, you're watching over the dead).
The coroner's special medkit, which is the only one you can get in a
round, can fit their autopsy scanners and tools. Anything that comes
standard with their kit can go back into it.
Anyone who is morbid can safely retrieve the secrets of the elephant
graveyard. The serrated shovel, notably, is a much better tool and
notably better at killing organics, but not inorganics (like the dead).
(Gives roboticists secure morgue access during skeleton crew pop totals)
adds the Vorpal Scythe, a special chaplain null rod variant, replacing
the Reaper Scythe, a not so special null rod variant.
When you choose the vorpal scythe, it comes as a shard that you implant
into your arm, similar to a cursed katana.
Once implanted, you can draw it at any time like an arm implant.
However, sheathing it again presents some problems. (Also, implanting
the organ gives you ``TRAIT_MORBID``, which I'll explain in a bit)
The Vorpal Scythe has 10 force, one of the weakest null rod variants for
force that isn't a joke null rod. However, it has exceptional armor pen
and also has 2 tiles of reach. So quite unique.
It also has a special beheading ability when you right-click someone.
This borrows some code from amputation shears, functioning pretty
similarly, except with a few additional ways to speed up the action and
restrictions. (It takes 15 seconds baseline to behead someone standing
and conscious, and speeds up or slows down based on factors such as
incapacitation and whether or not our scythe is already empowered)
When you successfully behead someone with a mind, the vorpal scythe
gains 20 force and can be safely stowed and drawn for 2 minutes.
Performing more death knells like this will reset the timer.
If it has not performed its 'death knell', or you haven't hit a living
mob, then it will cause severe damage to you if you ever try and stow it
(or its forced back into your arm). Just hitting a mob with the scythe
will sate it for 4 minutes. Unless it is a non-player monkey. Horrible
things. Just hitting mobs does not reset the timer on empowerment.
What this means is that the chaplain may be more hesitant to simply draw
their weapon on people. It also means that potentially, the chaplain
will not always have magic immunity, since they may end up stowing the
weapon away and be reluctant to draw it on a whim without either taking
damage for sheathing it without hitting something, or dealing with
having one less hand up until they can.
While empowerment only happens when you behead mobs with a mind,
beheading monkeyhumans and other mindless humans subtypes causes their
heads to become haunted! It's mostly harmless and largely just SpOoKy.
We don't want heads with actual players in them to go floating off to
space. (Does not work on monkey heads for sanity reasons)
When you have the Morbid trait, you think creepy stuff is cool and hate
saving peoples lives. You get a mood boost from graverobbing, autopsies,
dissections, amputations (including beheadings with the scythe and
amputations with the shears) and revival surgery. However, you get a
mood penalty when you tend wounds on the living, as well as a hefty
penalty when you perform CPR or defibrillate someone. I was thinking
Victor Frankenstein when I was choosing which actions had an associated
moodlet, so anything that I might have missed would be appreciated.
You also count as potentially cool with regards to haunted objects.
Ghosts think you're neat. (Revenants probably will still kill you if
they had the chance)
## 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.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Knocks another one off the list, just really light stuff. They're a bit
smarter now too, I think the intention was them for them to be pet-like
as well (according to the code). Should be really rather easy to give
them the pet-like behaviors and elements if someone really wants to in
the future, just sorta paving the way for more work to be done to make
mobs more intricate/interesting.

## About The Pull Request
On the tin. They have pretty much nothing in common with chickens, so no
subtyping. They are in the same folder to keep that whole thing tidy,
though.
Also includes fixes to `growth_and_differentiation` element that I made
for spiderlings, since some stuff was yorked without me realizing. It
pretty much worked flawlessly for these chicks otherwise though. It all
works fine now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More verbose naming scheme (instead of "holo", we get "permanent"
chicks), smarter AI for chicks, knocks them off the list, etc. etc.
One thing that I wanted to do was to have chicks recognize their mother
(if they had one), but that would be way out of scope for this simple
port PR. I'll dwell on adding something cool for that in the future.

Let me know if the whole "COMPONENT_KILL" thing is cringe, I couldn't
figure out a better way to do it without abusing `GetComponent()` to
`qdel()` it that way.
## About The Pull Request
Currently, we don't have any such thing as a general ai_behavior flag
for behaviors that need a check for if the current_movement_target is
within reach or not. We could fix it case by case by slapping a
`CanReach()` check in the `performBehavior()` definition of every
`ai_behavior` datum that warrants it, the general issue will keep
resurfacing as long as new behaviors are added to the game anyhow, while
there's a lot less copypasta involved easier to apply solution to
current and future instances of such issue.
Worth mentioning not all ai_behaviors with required_range of 1 have this
flag. Some are fairly innocuous, such as the follow command, some others
kind of handle it already in a more peculiar or complex way, which is
also an argument against making it a hardcoded heck for when the
required_range is 1 or 0.
This has been tested, though there are some rough edges and oddities
also unrelated to his PR that might have evaded scrutiny.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This should fix#74823, fix#69254, and fix#74713 (I guess? it could
have been phrased better).
## Changelog

fix: basic mobs & co no longer indiscriminately perform close-range
actions in the presence of obstacles such as directional windows between
them and their target.

Just another lightweight PR porting over a simple animal to the basic
mob framework with zero additional AI implementation (it's a killer
tomato- it spawns into the world to maul you. how much more intricate
does it need to be?).
This was pretty simple since they didn't have too much custom behavior,
and whatever they did have already had AI behavior. I got really burned
out the last two times I wrote intricate AI action/decision behaviors so
I'm just taking it light and doing the bare minimum.
one day our shackles will be free of the simple animal scourge. they're
also a bit more intelligent, and i daresay a bit cuter too now.
also that lizard gib animation has been sitting there for god knows how
long completely unseen, so let's actually hook it into the mob.
If I could've made this more atomic, I would have in a heartbeat, trust
me.
## About The Pull Request
Hey there. People were mocking us for having spiderlings still be a
subtype of `/obj/structure`. I decided to take a lot of time to fix
that. A lot of behavior it was implementing was just pseudo-mob stuff,
so it was actually easier than it looked for the raw conversion. A lot
of the footwork on spider stuff in the basic framework was already done
previously by Jacquerel, so that was pretty nice.
However, there are two new things that weren't introduced in the code
that had to be put in.
A) A component to handle growth and differentiation into a mob. This may
have already existed, no clue. If it does (and it's NOT
evolutionary_leap), let me know.
B) AI Behavior to handle seeking out a vent, entering a vent, and then
exiting out of a different vent. I may have gone a bit wacky on the
code, but it certainly works as expected (spiderling goes in one vent,
exits the other). Let me know if you can think of a way it can be better
optimized, but it was deliberately written to be very failsafey in case
shit goes yonkers.
One fundamental difference between structure spiderlings and basic mob
spiderlings (beyond the AI and not just a random prob() check for
movement) is the fact that they had vent movement coded in... but we
_really_ don't need stuff like that for our intents and purposes. If the
range turns out to be too OP in the current framework, we can always
change it up a bit, but also there's a _lot_ of vents we can end up in
the station (my testing had one spiderling end up in the AI sat to get
obliterated).
## Why It's Good For The Game
Spiderlings aren't structures! They behave like a mob should! Players
can possess spiderlings! They work seamlessly with differentiating into
a giant spider! Better AI! More room for people to add into this very
under-utilized buggers!
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Spiderlings are now basic mobs, report any complete
weirdness/deviation from known behavior. They should be a lot more
intelligent now though.
add: AI Spiderlings are super fragile, but they're also super fast,
especially when they get into a vent. Once they're in circulation, they
could end up everywhere! Maybe in the armory, maybe in a locked closet
in maintenance. Be sure to be vigilant and splat them whenever you can
to save the station from a whole lotta heartache!

## About The Pull Request
deers only show up in the BEPIS but i decided that they would be easy
enough to turn into a basic mob (they were). it was so easy in fact that
i decided to dip my toes into coding AI behavior, and made them freeze
up whenever they see a vehicle. this required a lot of code in a bunch
of places that i was quite unfamiliar with before starting this project,
so do let me know if i glonked up anywhere and i can work on smoothing
it out.
## Why It's Good For The Game
one less simple animal on the list. deers staring at headlights is
pretty cool i think, neato interaction for when you do get them beyond
the joke the bepis makes
i'm also amenable to dropping the whole "deer in headlights" code if you
don't like that for w/e reason- just wanted to make them basic at the
very least

## About The Pull Request
I'm not totally satisfied with the amount of random destruction caused
by space carp wandering around, they should certainly be dangerous and
annoying but the random nature of their spawning and pathfinding means
that they would trap themselves in random rooms and then smash all of
the machinery in there.
Because they could attack any dense object they perceived as being in
their way that could result in venting random gas canisters, breaking
terminals, or I even once saw them destroy the supermatter cooling loop
by eating the thermomachines.
While the latter is pretty funny, arbitrary destruction of machines
simply caused because a fish teleported into a room without you knowing
isn't really very engaging and doesn't create very interesting stories.
This ultimately isn't meant to be a heavily destructive event and its
probability to run isn't tuned as if it is.
So, a couple of changes:
I reduced both the range and cooldown of the carp teleporting ability.
This means that AI carp can use it to pathfind past obstacles pretty
reliably and don't spend so much time smashing things, and also reduces
the chances of them getting the drop on you from a location you can't
see.
I also added a short click cooldown to carp travelling through other
carp rifts so people being teleported _to_ have more of an advantage
over people ambushing them (this was already true for the carp creating
the rift).
Additionally I added an optional whitelist to the "attack obstacles to
your pathfinding" AI script, and heavily culled the kind of obstacles
that carp will attack to be ones which are mostly replaceable. They will
still cause a mess and might even vent a room, but they won't smash
vital infrastructure.
Finally I replaced a couple of instances of `get_ranged_target_turf`
with `get_ranged_target_turf_direct` for better precision, and player
carp using the ability can now just click anywhere on the screen and it
will jaunt in that rough direction. With the reduced range, having to
click within its radius was pretty annoying.
With these changes I ran the event 10 times in a row on kilo and then
watched JoJo's bizzarre adventure for 90 minutes and when I came back
the level of destruction seemed pretty reasonable (aside from the big
hole where one of them ran into the supermatter and delaminated it, but
if there were players around that wouldn't happen).
## Why It's Good For The Game
This event was still just a little bit _too_ annoying.
If something destroys important machines it should have happened on
purpose via an event which was supposed to do that, rather than through
chance. Or preferably just be player-driven.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Carp can't teleport as far, but can do it more frequently.
People who piggyback through their rifts will be blocked from attacking
for a short duration (the same as the normal attack cooldown).
balance: AI controlled carp will now be more selective about which
objects they smash. Player controlled carp (or carp directly instructed
to attack objects by people who have tamed them) can still attack
whatever they like.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new Cosmic Heretic.





Main Paths:
- Eternal Gate: Opens up the Path of Cosmos to you. Allows you to
transmute a sheet of plasma and a knife into an Cosmic Blade. You can
only create two at a time.
- Grasp of Cosmos: Your Mansus Grasp will give people a star mark
(cosmic ring) and create a cosmic field where you stand.
- Cosmic Runes: Grants you Cosmic Runes, a spell that creates two runes
linked with eachother for easy teleportation. Only the entity activating
the rune will get transported, and it can be used by anyone without a
star mark.
- Mark of Cosmos: Your Mansus Grasp now applies the Mark of Cosmos. The
mark is triggered from an attack with your Cosmic Blade. When triggered,
the victim transport back to the Cosmic Diamond, which is the location
your mark was applied to them. After getting transported they will be
paralyzed for 2 seconds.
- Star Touch: Grants you Star Touch, a spell that will give people a
star mark (cosmic ring) and create a cosmic field where you stand.
People that already have a star mark will be forced to sleep for 4
seconds. When the victim is hit it also creates a beam that deals a bit
of fire damage and damages the cells. The beam lasts a minute, until the
beam is obstructed or until a new target has been found. Can remove
Cosmig Runes and teleport you to your Star Gazer when used in hand.
- Star Blast: Fires a projectile that moves very slowly and create a
cosmic field on impact. Anyone hit by the projectile will recieve burn
damage, a knockdown and a star mark.
- Cosmic Blade: our blade now deals damage to peoples cells through
cosmic radiation.
- Cosmic Expansion: Grants you Cosmic Expansion, a spell that creates a
3x3 area of cosmic fields around you. Nearby beings will also receive a
star mark.
- Creators's Gift: The ascension ritual of the Path of Cosmos. Bring 3
corpses with bluespacedust in their body to a transmutation rune to
complete the ritual. When completed, you become the owner of a Star
Gazer. You will be able to command the Star Gazer with Alt+click. You
can also give it commands through speech. The Star Gazer is a strong mob
that can even break down reinforced walls. Star Touch can now teleport
you to your Star Gazer when Star Touch is used in hand."
Side Paths:
- Ash-Cosmic: Fire Fish: Allows you to transmute a pool of ash, eyes,
and a sheet of plasma into a Fire Shark. Fire Sharks are fast and strong
in groups, but are bad at combat.
- Ash-Cosmic: Curse of The Stars: Allows you to transmute a bluespace
crystal, a pool of ash, and a liver to cast a Curse of The Stars on a
crew member. While cursed, the victim will recieve a star mark that
lasts for at least 3 minutes. This star mark makes it so that the crew
member cannot enter cosmic carpet fields. The victim will also recieve a
cosmic carpet trail for at least 3 minutes.
- Ash-Cosmic: Eldritch Coin: Allows you to transmute a sheet of plasma,
a diamond and eyes to create an Eldritch Coin. The coin will heals when
landing on heads and damages when landing on tails. The coin will heal
for more, but only for heretics.
Extra ability information:
- Star Mark: This is a status effect that prevents people from walking
into cosmic fields.
- Cosmig Fields: Only block entities marked with a star mark,
projectiles or throwing items will still work. Lasts only 30 seconds and
5 seconds for the Cosmig Trail trait.
Some things I wanted to mention:
- Why the Star Gazer is balanced: It has 3000 health and can kill people
pretty fast, but at the same time, anyone can space the Star Gazer and
lead it away from the heretic if they do not pay attention.
- The Cosmic Heretics balancing has been carefully considered. It is
relatively weak in group situations but strong in one to one combat.
- Balance changes can also be made after the PR gets merged need be, or
it can be test merged first.
## Why It's Good For The Game
New heretic path means more choice and a different play style.

## About The Pull Request

**This PR:**
- Reworks most* existing soup into reagents.
- Adds Stoves and Ranges. Ranges replace most* existing ovens.
- Adds soup pots, to cook soup
**How does it work?**
In the kitchen you will find a stove now.
Stoves act as a "reagent container heater", essentially a chem heater.
You can set a pot onto the stove.
To make soup, visit the cooking recipe book for a guide. Most recipes
are the same as before, just tweaked slightly - Add water to the pot (50
units for 1 batch generally), then add all the corresponding ingredients
to the pot. Set the pot out on the stove and right click it to turn it
on. If the recipe's correct, shortly it will start to mix and give you
soup!
One soup recipe will give you roughly 3 servings of soup. You can pour
our the soup into a bowl using a ladle or just by pouring it manually.
Of note: **All of the reagent contents of the ingredient are transferred
into the soup.** Better, more nutrient rich ingredients produces more
soup, and poisoned produce will pass it on.
If you place the soup into a chem master, you will notice it's roughly
half "soup reagent" and half a variety of reagents, including nutriments
/ proteins. This is your soup! It is recommended you serve your soup
with the reagents included, as they make up more nutrition for the
customer, however you can separate it out if you're picky.
**Todo:**
- [x] Fill out the PR body a bit more
- [x] Mapping (wait for big merge conflict pr to go past)
- [x] Soup colors
- [x] Balance pass over for soup recipes
- [x] TODOs
- [ ] Unit tests
- [x] Cullen Skink's recipe is invalid
- [x] Try to see if there's an easy way to prevent soup from fattening
you up too easy.
## Why it's good for the game
Adds some more depth to the kitchen and moves chef away from the
click-button-get-food style that exists.
Allows for inherently custom soups by the way of making it reagents, so
no need to support custom soup food items.

There's a couple of open issues which fix places where only simple

I decided to just go through every instance of `isanimal` or

should also affect basic mobs, and fix them.
I left out the two others which are already in PR, I'm not stealing your

Consistency, mostly.
As far as I can tell all of these things _should_ have effected basic

This fixes a fair number of bugs but also they're bugs that nobody
noticed or reported.
There are a couple of places I did not update which will need updating

- Dextrousness checks, because basic mobs don't have that yet.
- The Charge cooldown action, because frankly I couldn't tell what it

it doesn't remove mice).
Duct spiders are largely harmless to humans, actively hunt other
maintenance creatures (such as mice), and have only one _tiny_ downside.

These mobs can also sometimes be spawned by a minor scrubber clog event.
As a side note, all spider basic mobs with AI (except Araneus) will now
try to automatically fill a small area around them with webs.
Also I made it so that mobs will ignore their random_walking behaviour
if they're engaged in a `do_after`, just in case.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Adds a little bit of variety to things which can slightly annoy you in
maintenance.
Spiders will automatically make places they live in look like spiders
live there.
## Changelog
🆑
add: A station trait which sometimes populates maintenance with small
spiders. You can wear them as a hat if you wanted to have a spider on
your head for some reason.
add: Spider mobs will automatically start webbing up their environment.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#72677 and also converted the "Wumborian Fugu" mob to a basic mob
rather than a simple one.
I will be totally honest: I didn't need to do that in order to fix the
bug. I just didn't like looking at the rest of the code in that file.
Also I have some kind of sickness which makes me do this.
This ended up being one of those "see something related and fix it as
well" ones so there's a couple of only tangentially related changes in
here. If you want me to split it up I will but I think this one is
_probably_ fine because the wide-ranging changes are pretty simple ones?
So what this PR does is:
- Refactors simple mob into basic mob.
- Cleans up its really ugly ability to work in a hopefully nicer way.
- A one line fix to the linked issue above.
- Modifies the default cooldown on `basic_melee_attack` and
`attack_obstructions` to be a widely used cooldown rather than a random
value used by no mob that we have.
- Renamed behaviour "try_mob_ability" to "targeted_mob_ability" and
added a new AI behaviour called "use_mob_ability", the difference
between the two being that the former requires a target and the latter
does not. I... don't actually use this because I realised after adding
it that I still want a target for this mob, but someone will need it
eventually.
- Change everywhere that is passing references to abilities to actions
to pass weak references instead.
- Adds an element to handle "spawn this stuff when a related mob dies".
- Found a few places where people were setting `environment_smash ` as
if it did anything (including me) and replaced them with the proper
ai_controller implementation instead, updated the comment to make it
clearer although that won't prevent copy/paste errors.
- Registered to the "movement speed updated" signal to ensure that basic
mobs actually notice that you have applied a movement speed modifier.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes a linked issue.
Refactors some code which made me sad whenever I saw it.
Restores some mob behaviour which nobody noticed was missing, but was.
Fixes some apparently unreliable code I added in a recent PR reliant on
basic mobs using movespeed modifiers.
Adds element we will definitely need again in the future.

This PR converts giant spiders into basic mobs and resultingly fixes
#37793
They _should_ have the same behaviour as their simple mob versions
although I can't verify that their movement speeds are _exactly_ the
same. It should at least be pretty close.
A quirk of spiders is that they had a pretty large `move_to_delay` which
made them slow in the hands of AI (because it would just pause for ages
between taking steps) and faster in the hands of players, and they often
appear in both forms so I had to implement this as a speed modifier
based on player control.
Additionally this is the first basic mob which can be set on fire.
This is currently implemented as a var on `mob/living/basic` but I know
there was some annoyance at adding the environment tolerances as vars on
there so if desired I can try and extract it out, I'm just not sure how
easy it will be.
Something else I noticed is that spiders seem to take stamina damage
from bug spray... but stamina damage does nothing to either simple _or_
basic mobs. I have left it in for now in case I am missing something,
and rebalancing it to do something else would be more like a balance
change.
Oh also I killed the `mob/basic/retaliate` folder because that isn't a
classification that needs to exist or makes sense.
## Why It's Good For The Game
We don't want to use simple mobs any more.
Sergeant Araneus can finally actually be a spider, instead of being a

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#73237
So, this seems to be an interaction between targetting and the flag
`AI_BEHAVIOR_CAN_PLAN_DURING_EXECUTION`.
When a mob starts the melee attack action it sets up its attack target
as its movement target.
Once it is in range of its movement target then it starts running
attacks on its attack target.
If a mob puts a target into crit then it ceases to be a valid target.
If `AI_BEHAVIOR_CAN_PLAN_DURING_EXECUTION` is set on a behaviour then it
will continue to plan and run other actions.
The targetting action will notice that our current attack target is
invalid and retarget it _between_ executions of the attack action.
The attack action _doesn't_ call setup again at this point, so it does
not set the new target as its movement target.
The attack action executes, is still next to the current movement
target, so continue to attack the attack target even though that target
has changed.
Result: Carp can attack you from the other side of a room if they have
first empowered themselves by consuming the soul of your coworker.
There's a few fixes for this but none of them seem... precisely clean. I
have gone with the one which I think is most "robust" in that it should
fix this case in all future scenarios, but it has its own downsides.
That is: Whenever the targetting action acquires a new target it will
manually cancel all further queued actions, which forces everything
following to call setup again.
The obvious downside here is that this means that the AI will acquire a
target and not immediately act on it within the same processing loop. It
will now have to wait until its turn comes around again to do anything
with a newly acquired target, making them slightly slower to react to
things based on how often the subsystem is acting.
This might be beneficial to players in some ways in that it gives you a
moment of grace to react to an AI acquiring you as a target which was
present in simple mobs and not basic mobs but probably we do just want
them to act as responsively as possible.
Alternate ideas were:
- Validate the target and range again in the `perform` action. I didn't
go with this because it feels like it _should_ be redundant with the
controller validating the distance to the movement target already, is
much more fragile and easy to miss on an extended or new action, and
would need to be done individually in all actions which require a
movement target.
- I could replace `CancelActions()` here with a new proc which cancels
actions and then instantly reruns this mob's behaviour selection and
runs the new list of actions. That sounds a little bit scary to me, and
might risk a loop?
- Refactor movement target to be more tightly controlled by actions and
not a property of the AI controller at all. This would be some work,
reduce future possibilities (we have some flags to preserve movement
target between actions which are just... not currently used) and might
not actually solve the bug anyway.
- Investigate `AI_BEHAVIOR_CAN_PLAN_DURING_EXECUTION` and figure out if
there is some way to ensure it calls setup at an appropriate time. I
cannot figure out how this would be possible, because the trigger is
essentially "an arbitrary blackboard key has changed value" and the
result would probably have the same downside as the current
implementation anyway. Being able to change blackboard keys while
executing other actions is kind of the point of
`AI_BEHAVIOR_CAN_PLAN_DURING_EXECUTION` really.
- Remove `AI_BEHAVIOR_CAN_PLAN_DURING_EXECUTION` from the attack
behaviour. This would fix it for attacks but potentially remain for
other future actions. It would mean that behaviour which relies on this
(such as carp fleeing, I think? I don't remember precisely why it's on
there only that we wanted to be able to change our minds and stop
attacking without coding that specifically into `perform`) would have to
be adjusted to add more checks to the attack action, and might result in
an eventual proliferation of specific attack actions which exist only to
track specific circumstances to interrupt the attack loop, which doesn't
seem ideal.
If you have any better ideas than this or those listed let me know.

that to mean that it will attack things that are next to it.

- Reduced the subsystem wait for the pathfinder subsystem from 2 seconds
to 0.1 seconds. @LemonInTheDark told me that this is better, I'll update
this with a better explanation once I squeeze it out of him :D

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#72404
The Lazarus Injector doesn't currently work on basic mobs, but should.
Problem:
The EMPed state of the Lazarus Injector is intended to make a revived
mob hostile to everyone except you, including other mobs you have
revived wtih an EMPed Lazarus Injector.
This is trivial to achieve for Simple Mobs which essentially all share
the same AI, but I could not think of a single workable solution for
Basic Mobs which don't, or at least any which didn't come with a tedious
requirement to closely consider this niche item when programming any
additional AI.
Solution:
Change the default behaviour of the Lazarus Injector so this is not a
problem.
If all it does it make the mob loyal to you _and_ friendly to other mobs
which are loyal to you, then it's pretty easy because we can just use
the existing faction flags.
This is unambiguously a buff to using the item for nefarious purposes as
now if you revive four ice drakes and fulton them onto the station they
won't kill each other until only one is left, but is the only workable
solution I could really think of.
A lot of the very dangerous mining fauna can't be dragged so
transporting your army to the station still poses a question.
The alternate solution was just to replace the AI controller of any
emp-revived basic mob with a "zombie" AI controller, but this has the
problem that
A- It would now make things like cows and dogs into hostile creatures
when they previously weren't.
B- It loses any interesting behaviour the mob previously had and for
cases like Bileworms doesn't even make any sense (they'd try to walk and
just get stuck in place).
This ultimately leads to needing to make bespoke versions for various
mobs, which doesn't seem desirable from a maintainability standpoint.
As a side note it's still not a great idea to revive Bileworms _anyway_
as, their ability to move is tied to their ability to attack so once
they don't have a target they will just kind of sit there and if they
_do_ get a target their attempts to help you fight are difficult to
distinguish from attempts to kill you... but at least being able to
revive them makes it easier to make one sapient if you really want to
trap a player's mind inside a body which is incapable of leaving
lavaland.
Additional edit:
At Fikou's suggestion I've also added a sentience comparison proc to
`mob/living` and removed some code duplication which dealt with this
problem in the sentience/mind transfer potions, as well as added it to
the Dominate spell.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This device is meant to revive mobs and it shouldn't be required for
players to memorise an arbitrary list of which mobs it does and doesn't
work on.
Especially as the goal is eventually that all simple mobs should be
basic mobs.
This way of working is more intuitive, even if it is also stronger. I
was surprised when I used EMPed injectors and my "new minions" just
killed each other.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: You can now revive 'basic mobs' with a Lazarus Injector, such as
dogs, cows, axolotls, or carp.
fix: The same category of mobs can also now be effected by the Runic
Golem Dominate spell.
fix: Basic Mobs will switch target if they can no longer attack their
current target; meaning that if you become a Bileworm's friend it will
stop attacking you.
balance: Mobs injected with the Lazarus Injector while it is EMPed will
no longer attack other mobs revived by EMPed Lazarus Injectors.

## About The Pull Request
Basic mobs using the generic ranged attack behaviour will now not
attempt to shoot a target which they can no longer see.
If they can still see you through a window that's fine because shooting
in your direction will probably break the window eventually, but a mob
knowing you're on the other side of a wall and pointlessly firing at it
isn't useful.
Additionally, adds a component to bullet casings fired by basic mobs
which deletes them after 30 seconds.
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7483112/211012442-027455c7-2846-426e-89fb-c8c89d891e4f.mp4
Here's a demonstration but sped up so they vanish after 5 seconds
instead.
## Why It's Good For The Game

We're not actually sure that's where these 75,000 bullet casings came
from (it's probably related to that pAI down there) but it's one way it
could happen.
Players with limited ammo leaving persistent bullet casings should
rarely be a problem, mobs have infinite ammo and so should not be able
to generate infinite debris. Having them just sort of disappear after 30
seconds is... less than immersive, but I feel like it's better than the
alternative.
You can attach the element to other things to thanos snap them if you
want.
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
Mice running away behaviour wasn't working quite how it was supposed to
due to a couple of bugs.
First of all, the action was written as if it would `perform` every
tick, which it doesn't. This means that the code checking if you had
left line of sight didn't function, meaning mobs would continue fleeing
you even when they couldn't see you any more.
Secondly, mobs spent an awful lot of time pathing into walls which was
especially noticeable on mice who just would _not_ stop repeatedly
squeaking in a way that is kind of funny but gets old when you keep
hearing it. Now the pathing stops if it hits a barrier.
I'm not... totally fond of this solution because it has a few
assumptions baked in (that we want to try and path through doors even if
they're dense for one) but I can't for the moment think of a better
"path away from" implementation that isn't way more complicated, and
this doesn't really need to be complicated.
For good measure I noticed a couple of other actions weren't passing a
`source_atom` into `is_blocked_turf` so rats were potentially attacking
"obstacles" they could simply walk over.
Additionally a couple of places were setting
`controller.movement_target` directly instead of using the helper method
which has a minor risk of runtiming under certain conditions.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mice will stop constantly screaming if they can see someone, and should
repath once they have a different escape route more quickly rather than
dedicating themselves to trying to burrow through an iron wall.
Rats won't bite at tables and racks they can just climb over.

## About The Pull Request
In #72260 what was previously a var became a flag, which was a sensible
change, however this inverted the default behaviour.
In virtually all cases we want dead mobs to _stop_ being dense, this
added a requirement for the flag to be present for that to happen and
then didn't add the flag to any mobs.
Rather than add this to every mob I inverted the function of the flag.
My reasoning here is that _simple_ mobs seemingly never required this
behaviour, basic mobs are probably going to need it rarely if ever, and
including it in `basic_mob_flags` by default seems messy and easy to
leave off when setting other flags (plus #72524 implies to me we want to
avoid adding more default values).
Setting this manually on each mob seems kind of silly as a requirement
going forward and I can't think of a way we'd unit test for people
forgetting.
For the same reason I did the same thing with the
`STOP_ACTING_WHILE_DEAD` flag I added to the AI controller in a recent
PR, the flag should denote unusual behaviour not the default.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It looks really odd when you're constantly shuffling places with dead
mobs, they're not supposed to do that.
It's tedious to add `STOP_ACTING_WHILE_DEAD` to every AI controller when
that should be an obvious default assumption.

## About The Pull Request
The almost-final part of the much larger PR I tried to make a month ago
(there's actually one more thing but I'm waiting on a dog PR to get
merged first).
This adds _new_ behaviour and abilities to carp.
Now when a Carp Migration occurs, all of the space carp who are spawned
are given a path through the station.
Specifically, each carp which shares a z level will try to path to a
specific station area, then back out into space.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KtTI4_7a0c
Here in this video we follow one carp and its friends as it attempts to
navigate "Kilo Station" in order to return to its ancestral spawning
grounds, via the dormitories.
Why are there walls underneath those windows? That's a question nature
has no answer for.
In order to ensure that they don't destroy Arrivals, Departures, and
anywhere else with windows in the process of trying to get inside they
have also gained a new "Lesser Carp Rift" ability.
This allows carp to teleport a short distance once per minute, leaving a
rift at their exit point. Any other mob can enter the rift to travel to
a similar location to the space carp (within the same 3x3 area).
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7483112/209584254-afb5839b-a1cd-4c5a-b701-dbb47a024272.mp4
Teleporting puts their attack on a one second cooldown so you won't be
_immediately_ bitten for 20 damage out of nowhere.
Their AI has been updated appropriately and they will use these
abilities:
- If they're trying to migrate through the station and encounter an
obstacle.
- If they're trying to atack something and encounter an obstacle.
- If they're trying to run away, as soon as possible.
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7483112/209584287-4402bf5b-3c41-4603-9205-5c4da8b4cd1c.mp4
That last point includes the HoS's pet Lia, who is an occasional target
of traitor objectives, which can either work in your favour (scaring her
to a less secure location) or against it (wait, where did she go?).
Also this fixes an embarassing bug where space carp weren't spaceproof
but I am going to pull that out into its own PR so it can be merged
without also needing to review this.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Carp are an iconic space animal but also quite boring, which this
hopefully remedies.
In the current game the Carp Migration event announces itself to the
crew and usually advertises to ghosts that a cool shark mob has spawned
and this changes essentially nothing about the round, the only people
Carp will usually attack are people who go out to set up the solars, and
the occasional wandering curator or lone operative.
This should make the announcement mean something, as suddenly it means a
belligerent animal might unexpectedly try to pass through your
workplace.
Non-magical space carp are weak enough that even an unarmed spaceman can
take on one or two at a time (and even being mildly armed with makeshift
weapons you have around makes them fairly non-threatening) but it can
give you a bit of excitement.
The ability for Carp to teleport allows them to do this without causing
_too much_ property damage or breaching the station, in my tests they
will _generally_ find a way in which doesn't involve them busting
windows open en masse. Also it just makes them a bit more interesting.
Traitors with dehydrated carp are not much able to make use of the Carp
Rift ability as there isn't any way to get them to do it on demand, but
you could spawn one which is not allied to you and then try to scare it
in an appropriate direction which I think is a fun use of the item.
This undoubtedly will make Space Dragon player-controlled carp more
dangerous in a way which is difficult to predict, but it also makes
playing as them more fun and might encourage some guerilla tactics and
cooperation which wasn't previously possible.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Space Carp seem to have begun associating the station with food and
attempting to enter from the outside, rather than simply congregating
around solar panels. Employees are advised that these are wild animals,
and should not be fed.
add: Space Carp can intermittently teleport short distances, leaving a
short lived rift which other nearby carp will be attracted to follow
them through.

About The Pull Request
Chiefly this refactors dogs to use the newer component/datum system for "pet which follows instructions". It also refactors it a little bit because I had better ideas while working on this than I had last week. Specifically, instead of passing around keys we just stick a weakref to our currently active behaviour in the blackboard. Basically the same but skipping an unecessary step.
Additionally it adds a component for the previous "befriending a mob by clicking it repeatedly" behaviour which hopefully we won't use too much because it's not very exciting (I am planning on replacing it for dogs some time after Christmas).
The biggest effort in here was making the Fetch command more generic, which includes multiple behaviours (which might be used on their own?) and another component (for holding an item without hands).
Additionally I noticed that dogs would keep following my instructions after they died.
This seems unideal, and would be unideal for virtually any AI controller, so I added it as an AI_flag just in case there's some circumstance where you do want to process AI on a dead mob.
Finally this should replicate all behaviour Ian already had plus "follow" (from rats) and a new bonus easter egg reaction, however I noticed that the fetch command is supposed to have Ian eat any food that you try to get him to fetch.
This has been broken for some time and I will be away from my desk for a couple weeks pretty soon, so I wrote the behaviour for this but left it unused. I will come back to this in the future, once I figure out a way to implement it which does not require adding the "you can hit this" flag to every edible item.
Also I had to refit the recent addition of dogs barking at felinids to fit into this, with a side effect that now dogs won't get mad at a Felinid they are friends with. This... feels like intended behaviour anyway?
Why It's Good For The Game
It's good for these to work the same way instead of reimplementing the same behaviour in multiple files.
Being able to have Ian (or other dogs) follow you around the station is both fun and cute, and also makes him significantly more vulnerable to being murdered.

## About The Pull Request
AI dogs can now rarely bark and paw at nearby felinids and people
wearing mailman clothing. Also fixes dog harass/attack AI to now only
close within 3 tiles of a target before stopping, and only attacking if
the target approaches them (or the dog is pushed into them I guess) like
originally intended.
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
Wow we're finally here. This turns carp into Basic Mobs instead of
Simple Animals.
They use a variety of behaviours added in previous PRs to act in a
marginally more interesting way than they used to.
But don't worry there's still 2 or 3 PRs to follow this one until I'm
done with space fish.
Changes in this PR:
Carp will try to run away if they get below 50% health, to make use of
their "regenerate if not attacked" component.
Magicarp have different targetting behaviour for spells depending on
their spell;
- Ressurecting Carp will try to ressurect allied mobs.
- Animating Carp will try to animate nearby objects.
- Door-creating Carp will try to turn nearby walls into doors.
You can order Magicarp to cast their spell on something if you happen to
manage to tame one.
The eating element now has support for "getting hurt" when you eat
something. Carp eating can rings and hating it was too soulful not to
continue supporting.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Carp are iconic beasts and I think they should be more interesting.
Also we just want to turn mobs into basic mobs anyway.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Carp will now run away if their health gets low, meaning they may
have a chance to regenerate.
add: Lia will now fight back if attacked instead of letting herself get
killed, watch out!
balance: Magicarp will now aim their spells more intelligently.
add: Tame Magicarp can be ordered to use their spells on things.
refactor: Carp are now "Basic Mobs" instead of "Simple Mobs"
fix: Dehydrated carp no longer give you a bad feeling when they're your
friend and a good feeling when they're going to attack you.
balance: Tamed carp are now friendly only to their tamer rather than
their whole faction, which should make dehydrated carp more active.
Order them to stay or follow you if you want them to behave around your
friends.
