## About The Pull Request
On the tin. No new fancy AI wheels or anything, just a simple port.
## 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.
## Changelog

refactor: Giant ants are now more capable of distinguishing friend and
foe.

## 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.

refactor: Chicks are now a bit smarter, be careful not to squish them!

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.
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.
## 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
## Changelog

add: If you ever happen upon a wild deer, try not to ride your fancy
vehicles too close to it as it'll freeze up like a... you know where I'm
going with this.

## About The Pull Request
refactors poles and trees into basic mobs. If trees now see you holding
a chainsaw, hatchet, or some wood they will get angry and knock you out
for longer. Poles will run around giving some of their charge to APCs
they find along the way. i did them both in this PR coz poles were a
subtype of trees.

This tracks the seconds per tick of a subsystem, however note that it is
not completely accurate, as subsystems can be delayed, however it's
useful to have this number as a multiplier or ratio, so that if in
future someone changes the subsystem wait time code correctly adjusts
how fast it applies effects

## About The Pull Request
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
bat.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Spider code has been refactored and AI-controlled spiders may
have slightly different movement or reaction times.
fix: Basic mobs can now be slowed when they take stamina damage, however
currently only spiders actually _can_ take stamina damage.
fix: Spiders should now more reliably disable their AI when controlled
by a player.
fix: Araneus is no longer considered to be a bat and so cannot fly.
fix: Araneus is no longer considered to be a bat and so is no longer
frightening to people who are scared of the supernatural.

## About The Pull Request
Garden gnomes can go into the ground when they stand still for a while.
If they are damaged and underground they will heal. If they are
underground they will also gain damage resistance. They can make people
trip when underground and deal some damage. They are available through
golden slime cores or you can collect them from cargo with an emag. If
one of them gets damaged they will all retaliate against the attacker.
They have a very realistic colour pallet based on online gathered data.
Depending on their colour pallets some of them have a very low chance of
spawning.
## Why It's Good For The Game
These new garden gnomes come with expanding the world building of space
station 13. These gnomes will add more variety to the game play and use
an interesting AI and behavior that interacts with the player.

About The Pull Request
Made a basic version of the pet base called /mob/living/basic/pet. It's significantly more stripped down from the old simple_animal one, because its half collar stuff and...
Made the collar slot a component that you could theoretically remove from a pet to disable the behavior, or add to any other living mob as long as you set up the icon states for the collar (or not, the visuals are optional).
The corgi's collar strippable slot is now generally the pet collar slot, and in theory could be used for other pet stripping screens.
I also gutted the extra access card code from /mob/living/basic/pet as it's only being used by corgis. Having a physical ID is now just inherent to corgis, as they're the only ones that could equip it anyway.
Ported the make_babies() function from simple_animals to a new subtree and associated behavior, called /datum/ai_planning_subtree/make_babies that uses blackboards to know the animal-specific info.
Note that it's marginally improved, as the female walks to the male first instead of bluespace reproduction.
Tweaked and improved the dog AI to work as a basic mob, including making /datum/idle_behavior/idle_dog fully functional.
Made a /datum/ai_planning_subtree/random_speech/dog that pulls the dynamic speech and emotes to support dog fashion.
I've tested base collars across multiple pet types.
For dogs, I've tested general behavior, fetching, reproduction, dog fashion, and deadchat_plays, covering all the oddities I'm aware of.

## About The Pull Request
Back in #64175, I reworked rabbits such that their base behavior was
just a cute fluffy snuggle monster, and not have the "easter" variant be
the default. Now that we're transitioning everything from simple_animal
to basic, I figured now was the time to shift that over too.
Pretty much everything should be the same as it was before, I even took
some time to add behavior to some elements to allow it to work (let me
know if I should handle it a different way) but rabbits as a
simple_animal and rabbits as a basic mob should now not be very
distinguishable (beyond the fact that they only speak via subtrees).
I also got rid of the single-letter icon_states in the DMI and
accomodated the code to fix because I finally got irritated enough to do
something about that.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Although I didn't really have any pressing urge to add more complex AI
behavior to rabbits than just pretty much re-implementing what they had
as a simple_animal, this is an excellent first-step to allowing much
more extensible behaviors to these fuzzy creatures.
Also, it takes three more mobs off "the frozen list". Whoopie!

About The Pull Request
Alphabetized several long lists of strings so its easier for us to look through them, just code polish, nothing the players would see.
Fixed some minor spelling errors as well.
Clarified door bolt state to be less ambiguous in the door wiring gui.
Originally it would say the door bolts have fallen, and the door bolts "Look up". i dont know about you but that was very not clear for me to read. Like where are the bolts? In the door or the frame? Arnt there bolts on top and bottom? Just didn't make sense to me.
Now it says "Have engaged!" & "Have disengaged"
hopefully that makes the state clearer at a glance.
I also added a small handful of funny texts to some string files. See changelog

About The Pull Request
Yup. That's pretty much it. This PR adds the Mothroach to the game, described as "An ancient ancestor of the moth that surprisingly looks like the crossbreed of a moth and a cockroach."
Do you love the Mothroach? Then you can cuddle with it and pat it, as well as place it on your head for extra cuteness.
What if you hate it, though? You can always kill and butcher Mothroaches in order to mass produce moth plushes for your own profit... How fun!
Either way, you win!
The Mothroach can be picked up and has a special on-head sprite (which looks really cute). It is able to vent-crawl and you may get one by randomly summoning a friendly mob through the gold slime extracts, or by ordering one through the Cargo Requests. After butchered, you may use its hide, a heart, and some cloth to craft a moth plushie, the most devilish of Devil's designs.

In-hand, on-head, and grounded Mothroach sprite credits go to ValuedEmployee.
I did the Mothroach hide sprite though!
Why It's Good For The Game
The Mothroach is incredibly cute and a neat, fresh, new piece of content. Although it could use some future repurposing, right now it's simply a cute exotic pet with a few interactions.
These cute sprites are just too good to go to waste...
I keep seeing people complain about the lack of new content. Well, here's something niche that won't break the whole balance of the game and that will be cute. I seriously cannot see a motive not to add this to the game. Just because it isn't a powergaming tool or something that is seen every shift, that doesn't mean that it won't have a positive influence on the game. As I have stated, right now the Mothroaches are underperforming in terms of interactions and ways of getting them, but adding them is the first step to later improve them.

Simple_animals / mobs are the biggest lie in this code-base. They're far from simple and have an extreme god-object problem. Especially when you get to /hostile, where there is so many procs, vars, and what not, that you can't make any interesting additions without snowflaking the hell out of the code.
This PR hopes to help kill this problem by introducing a new /living subtype, /living/basic. The idea of this refactor is to slowly start moving all old simple_animals to this new system, moving over behaviors like charging and more extravagant mobs like megafauna over bit by bit similar to how newfood was implemented.
One of the other big goals of this refactor is to move many of the fringe simple animal behaviors into either AI datums, or components/elements. (Some of which still needs to be done in this PR).
As a proof of concept, I created the base mob/living/basic, and moved cockroaches over to the system. Since cockroaches have both a passive, melee and ranged mob.
This PR does slightly affect balance as the behavior isn't 1-on-1 due to it no longer running on the janky /hostile behavior, but I tried to keep the effects to a minimum, and the glockroach and hauberoach are not spawnable through many means as far as I know.
