## About The Pull Request
it's - conjunction of "it" and "is"
its - possessive form of "it"
grammar is hard, and there were a lot of places where "it's" was used
where it shouldn't have been. i went and painstakingly searched the
entire repository for these instances, spending a few hours on it. i
completely ignored the changelog archive, and i may have missed some
outliers. most player-facing ones should be corrected, though
## Why It's Good For The Game
proper grammar is good

## About The Pull Request
As the title says. A standard power cell now only stores 10 KJ and
drains power similar to how it did before the refactor to all power
appliances.
The new standard megacell stock part stores 1 MJ (what cells store right
now). APCs and SMESs have had their power cells replaced with these
megacell stock parts instead. Megacells can only be used in APCs and
SMESs. It shouldn't be possible to use megacells in any typical
appliance.
This shouldn't change anything about how much 'use' you can get out of a
power cell in regular practice. Most should operate the same and you
should still get the same amount of shots out of a laser gun, and we can
look at expanding what can be switched over to megacells, e.g. if we
want mechs to require significantly more power than a typical appliance.
Thanks to Meyhazah for the megacell icon sprites.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Power cell consumption is way too high ever since the power appliance
refactor that converted most things to be in joules. It's a bit
ridiculous for most of our machinery to drain the station's power supply
this early on.
The reason it's like this is because regular appliances (laser guns,
borgs, lights) all have a cell type that is identical to the APC/SMES
cell type. And it means that if we want to provide an easy way to charge
these appliances without making it easy to charge APCs/SMESs through a
power bug exploit, we need to introduce a new cell type to differentiate
between what supplies power and regular appliances that use power. This
is primarily what the megacell stock part does.
This moves us back to what it was originally like before the power
refactor, where recharging power cells wouldn't drain an exorbitant
amount of energy. However, it maintains the goal of the original
refactor which was to prevent people from cheesing power generation to
produce an infinite amount of power, as the power that APCs and SMESs
operate at is drastically different from the power that a regular
appliance uses.
## Changelog
🆑 Watermelon, Mayhazah
balance: Drastically reduces the power consumption and max charge of
power cells
balance: Added a new stock part called the battery, used primarily in
the construction of APCs and SMESs.
add: Suiciding with a cell/battery will shock you and potentially dust
you/shock the people around you if the charge is great enough.

## About The Pull Request
Sooooooooo I was recently notified of an issue (#84185) that popped up
from me replacing the `attackby(...)` chain on id cards, where it's no
longer possible to put money into IDs inside of PDAs by slapping it
against the PDA.
As I expected, this is because modular computers both still use
`attackby(...)`, and would call `attackby(...)` on the ID they contained
if hit with cash.
24a23009e8/code/modules/modular_computers/computers/item/computer.dm (L799)
Now this could've been an easy one line no-gbp fix where I just replace
it with a direct call to `insert_money(...)` on the ID and call it a
day!
But hey. Might as well get rid of the `attackby(...)` altogether while
we're at it.
First off, because the `attackby(...)` proc was getting quite bloated,
we split off all the specific item behaviours into `[X]_act(...)` type
procs to clean it up.
We then make those return item interaction flags, so we can call them on
`item_interaction(...)` after the right typecheck passes and immediately
return their results.
This also involves replacing the `application_attackby(...)` on
applications with an `application_item_interaction(...)`, and making it
return the item interaction flags too.
The code of each subsection isn't significantly different, though
reorganized a bit in some cases.
Like inserting a computer disks now tries to move it into the computer
_first_ before swapping out whichever disk is already in there, so it
doesn't swap out the disk if putting the new one in fails.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes#84185.
Having more stuff be updated to the proper `item_interaction(...)`
system is cool and good.

## About The Pull Request
Same idea as #82656 but for ctrl click & ctrl shift click cause why not
- Does your signal & `can_perform_action()` checks using
`interaction_flags_click` flags before delegating the event down to
`ctrl_click()` proc.
- The one new change now is that `ctrl_click()` proc is now blocking,
meaning returning `CLICK_ACTION_SUCCESS` or `CLICK_ACTION_BLOCKING` will
stop the object from getting grabbed/pulled. So remember to return these
values if you want to stop the grab action or return `NONE` if you want
to process the click but still want the object to get grabbed as well

## About The Pull Request
Mouse drag & drop has been refactored into its own attack chain. The
flowchart below summarizes it
Brief summary of each proc is as follows
**1. `atom/MouseDrop()`**
- It is now non overridable. No subtype should ever touch this proc
because it performs 2 basic checks
a) Measures the time between mouse down & mouse release. If its less
than `LENIENCY_TIME`(0.1 seconds) then the operation is not considered a
drag but a simple click
b) Measures the distance squared between the drag start & end point. If
its less than `LENIENCY_DISTANCE`(16 pixels screen space) then the drag
is considered too small and is discarded
- These 2 sanity checks for drag & drop are applied across all
operations without fail
**2. `atom/base_mouse_drop_handler()`**
- This is where atoms handle mouse drag & drop inside the world. Ideally
it is non overridable in most cases because it also performs 2 checks
- Is the dragged object & the drop target adjacent to the player?.
Screen elements always return true for this case
- Additional checks can be enforced by `can_perform_action()` done only
on the dragged object. It uses the combined flags of
`interaction_flags_mouse_drop` for both the dragged object & drop target
to determine if the operation is feasible.
We do this only on the dragged object because if both the dragged object
& drop target are adjacent to the player then `can_perform_action()`
will return the same results when done on either object so it makes no
difference.
Checks can be bypassed via the `IGNORE_MOUSE_DROP_CHECKS` which is used
by huds & screen elements or in case you want to implement your own
unique checks
**3. `atom/mouse_drop_dragged()`**
- Called on the object that is being dragged, drop target passed here as
well, subtypes do their stuff here
- `COMSIG_MOUSEDROP_ONTO` is sent afterwards. It does not require
subtypes to call their parent proc
**4. `atom/mouse_drop_receive()`**
- Called on the drop target that is receiving the dragged object,
subtypes do their stuff here
- `COMSIG_MOUSEDROPPED_ONTO` is sent afterwards. It does not require
subtypes to call their parent proc
## Why It's Good For The Game
Implements basic sanity checks across all drag & drop operations. Allows
us to reduce code like this
8c8311e624/code/game/machinery/dna_scanner.dm (L144-L145)
Into this
```
if(!iscarbon(target))
return
```
I'm tired of seeing this code pattern `!Adjacent(user) ||
!user.Adjacent(target)` copy pasted all over the place. Let's just write
that at the atom level & be done with it

## About The Pull Request
This PR makes the computer console's print feature work on a signal
instead of wasting paper every string update, changes the flashlight
color change to do the same, fixes the on/off signal not turning the
console on, and fixes the signal for the console turning off not
functioning.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Besides the bug fixes, this makes the console components more consistent
with every other circuit component. The refactor is to prevent worrying
about nulls for colors or errors because of early returns.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: computers with no lights can now turn on using the on/off signal

## About The Pull Request
This adds a span notice on examine to PDAs containing a power cell that
the cell can be removed by right clicking
Discussed this morning in coder general:
* Lots of functions have been moved to PDAs, but their batteries deplete
obnoxiously quickly
* Dedicated PDA chargers are not wanted per Mothblocks, and would be map
clutter
* Existing rechargers cannot be made more available because they
recharge guns, but are the only 'obvious' way to recharge PDAs.
* PDA batteries can actually be removed and externally recharged - but
there is nothing in game telling players this.
* There is also nothing on the wiki telling players this.
* Left click w/ screwdriver = nothing, but right click removes cell is
completely non-intuitive and inconsistent with all other tool use.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Actually telling players about an interaction is good and the
description of this PR is already longer than the code change.
## Changelog

fix: On examine PDAs will now inform players that the power cell can be
removed for recharging or replacement, and how to do so.

`click_alt($1)` (yes I am aware this only copies the first arg. there
are no other args!)
### Obj reskins
No reason for obj reskin to check on every single alt click for every
object. It applies to only a few items.
- Moved to obj/item
- Made into signal
- Added screentips
### Ventcrawling

For players:
- Alt clicking should work more logically, not causing double actions
like eject disk and open item window
- Added context menus for reskinnable items
- Removed adjacency restriction on loot panel

## About The Pull Request
When it comes to deconstructing an object we have `proc/deconstruct()` &
`NO_DECONSTRUCT`
Lets talk about the flag first.
**Problems with `NO_DECONSTRUCTION`**
I know what the comment says on what it should do
b5593bc693/code/__DEFINES/obj_flags.dm (L18)
But everywhere people have decided to give their own meaning/definition
to this flag. Here are some examples on how this flag is used
**1. Make the object just disappear(not drop anything) when
deconstructed**
This is by far the largest use case everywhere. If an object is
deconstructed(either via tools or smashed apart) then if it has this
flag it should not drop any of its contents but just disappear. You have
seen this code pattern used everywhere
b5593bc693/code/game/machinery/constructable_frame.dm (L26-L31)
This behaviour is then leveraged by 2 important components.
When an object is frozen, if it is deconstructed it should just
disappear without leaving any traces behind
b5593bc693/code/datums/elements/frozen.dm (L66-L67)
By hologram objects. Obviously if you destroy an hologram nothing real
should drop out
b5593bc693/code/modules/holodeck/computer.dm (L301-L304)
And there are other use cases as well but we won't go into them as they
aren't as significant as these.
**2. To stop an object from being wrenched ??**
Yeah this one is weird. Like why? I understand in some instances (chair,
table, rack etc) a wrench can be used to deconstruct a object so using
the flag there to stop it from happening makes sense but why can't we
even anchor an object just because of this flag?
b5593bc693/code/game/objects/objs.dm (L368-L369)
This is one of those instances where somebody just decided this
behaviour for their own convenience just like the above example with no
explanation as to why
**3. To stop using tools to deconstruct the object**
This was the original intent of the flag but it is enforced in few
places far & between. One example is when deconstructing the a machine
via crowbar.
b5593bc693/code/game/machinery/_machinery.dm (L811)
But machines are a special dual use case for this flag. Because if you
look at its deconstruct proc the flag also prevents the machine from
spawning a frame.
b5593bc693/code/game/machinery/_machinery.dm (L820-L822)
How can 1 flag serve 2 purposes within the same type?
**4. Simply forget to check for this flag altogether**
Yup if you find this flag not doing its job for some objects don't be
surprised. People & sometimes even maintainers just forget that it even
exists
b5593bc693/code/game/objects/items/piggy_bank.dm (L66-L67)
**Solution**
These are the main examples i found. As you can see the same flag can
perform 2 different functions within the same type and do something else
in a different object & in some instances don't even work cause people
just forget, etc.
In order to bring consistency to this flag we need to move it to the
atom level where it means the same thing everywhere. Where in the atom
you may ask? .Well, I'll just post what MrMelbert said in
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81656#discussion_r1503086862
> ...Ideally the .deconstruct call would handle NO_DECONSTRUCTION
handling as it wants,
Yup that's the ideal case now. This flag is checked directly in
`deconstruct()`. Now like i said we want to give a universal definition
to this flag and as you have seen from my examples it is used in 3 cases
1) Make an object disappear(doesn't dropping anything) when
deconstructed
2) Stop it from being wrenched
3) Stop it from being deconstructed via tools
We can't enforce points 2 & 3 inside `deconstruct()` which leaves us
with only case 1) i.e. make the object disappear. And that's what i have
done. Therefore after more than a decade or since this flag got
introduced `NO_DECONSTRUCT` now has a new definition as of 2024
_"Make an object disappear(don't dropping anything) when deconstructed
either via tools or forcefully smashed apart"_
Now i very well understand this will open up bugs in places where cases
2 & 3 are required but its worth it. In fact they could even be qol
changes for all we know so who knows it might even benefit us but for
now we need to give a universal definition to this flag to bring some
consistency & that's what this PR does.
**Problem with deconstruct()**
This proc actually sends out a signal which is currently used by the
material container but could be used by other objects later on.
3e84c3e6da/code/game/objects/obj_defense.dm (L160)
So objects that override this proc should call its parent. Sadly that
isn't the case in many instances like such
3e84c3e6da/code/game/machinery/deployable.dm (L20-L23)
Instead of `return ..()` which would delete the object & send the signal
it deletes the object directly thus the signal never gets sent.
**Solution**
Make this proc non overridable. For objects to add their own custom
deconstruction behaviour a new proc has been introduced
`atom_deconstruct()` Subtypes should now override this proc to handle
object deconstruction.
If objects have certain important stuff inside them (like mobs in
machines for example) they want to drop by handling `NO_DECONSTRUCT`
flag in a more carefully customized way they can do this by overriding
`handle_deconstruct()` which by default delegates to
`atom_deconstruct()` if the `NO_DECONSTRUCT` flag is absent. This proc
will allow you to handle the flag in a more customized way if you ever
need to.
## Why It's Good For The Game
1) I'm goanna post the full comment from MrMelbert
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81656#discussion_r1503086862
> ...Ideally the .deconstruct call would handle NO_DECONSTRUCTION
handling as it wants, but there's a shocking lack of consistency around
NO_DECONSTRUCTION, where some objects treat it as "allow deconstruction,
but make it drop no parts" and others simply "disallow deconstruction at
all"
This PR now makes `NO_DECONSTRUCTION` handled by `deconstruct()` & gives
this flag the consistency it deserves. Not to mention as shown in case 4
there are objects that simply forgot to check for this flag. Now it
applies for those missing instances as well.
2) No more copying pasting the most overused code pattern in this code
base history `if(obj_flags & NO_DECONSTRUCTION)`. Just makes code
cleaner everywhere
3) All objects now send the `COMSIG_OBJ_DECONSTRUCT` signal on object
deconstruction which is now available for use should you need it
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: refactors how objects are deconstructed in relation to the
`NO_DECONSTRUCTION` flag. Certain objects & machinery may display
different tool interactions & behaviours when destroyed/deconstructed.

## About The Pull Request
Removes all arbitrary energy and power units in the codebase. Everything
is replaced with the joule and watt, with 1 = 1 joule, or 1 watt if you
are going to multiply by time. This is a visible change, where all
arbitrary energy units you see in the game will get proper prefixed
units of energy.
With power cells being converted to the joule, charging one joule of a
power cell will require one joule of energy.
The grid will now store energy, instead of power. When an energy usage
is described as using the watt, a power to energy conversion based on
the relevant subsystem's timing (usually multiplying by seconds_per_tick
or applying power_to_energy()) is needed before adding or removing from
the grid. Power usages that are described as the watt is really anything
you would scale by time before applying the load. If it's described as a
joule, no time conversion is needed. Players will still read the grid as
power, having no visible change.
Machines that dynamically use power with the use_power() proc will
directly drain from the grid (and apc cell if there isn't enough)
instead of just tallying it up on the dynamic power usages for the area.
This should be more robust at conserving energy as the surplus is
updated on the go, preventing charging cells from nothing.
APCs no longer consume power for the dynamic power usage channels. APCs
will consume power for static power usages. Because static power usages
are added up without checking surplus, static power consumption will be
applied before any machine processes. This will give a more truthful
surplus for dynamic power consumers.
APCs will display how much power it is using for charging the cell. APC
cell charging applies power in its own channel, which gets added up to
the total. This will prevent invisible power usage you see when looking
at the power monitoring console.
After testing in MetaStation, I found roundstart power consumption to be
around 406kW after all APCs get fully charged. During the roundstart APC
charge rush, the power consumption can get as high as over 2MW (up to
25kW per roundstart APC charging) as long as there's that much
available.
Because of the absurd potential power consumption of charging APCs near
roundstart, I have changed how APCs decide to charge. APCs will now
charge only after all other machines have processed in the machines
processing subsystem. This will make sure APC charging won't disrupt
machines taking from the grid, and should stop APCs getting their power
drained due to others demanding too much power while charging. I have
removed the delays for APC charging too, so they start charging
immediately whenever there's excess power. It also stops them turning
red when a small amount of cell gets drained (airlocks opening and shit
during APC charge rush), as they immediately become fully charged
(unless too much energy got drained somehow) before changing icon.
Engineering SMES now start at 100% charge instead of 75%. I noticed
cells were draining earlier than usual after these changes, so I am
making them start maxed to try and combat that.
These changes will fix all conservation of energy issues relating to
charging powercells.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes#73438Closes#75789Closes#80634Closes#82031
Makes it much easier to interface with the power system in the codebase.
It's more intuitive. Removes a bunch of conservation of energy issues,
making energy and power much more meaningful. It will help the
simulation remain immersive as players won't encounter energy
duplication so easily. Arbitrary energy units getting replaced with the
joule will also tell people more meaningful information when reading it.
APC charging will feel more snappy.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fixes conservation of energy issues relating to charging
powercells.
qol: APCs will display how much power they are using to charge their
cell. This is accounted for in the power monitoring console.
qol: All arbitrary power cell energy units you see are replaced with
prefixed joules.
balance: As a consequence of the conservation of energy issues getting
fixed, the power consumption for charging cells is now very significant.
balance: APCs only use surplus power from the grid after every machine
processes when charging, preventing APCs from causing others to
discharge while charging.
balance: Engineering SMES start at max charge to combat the increased
energy loss due to conservation of energy fixes.

## 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
It turns out the messenger circuit wasn't working as intended, because
list components tend to convert datum keys into weakrefs, creating
incoherence between composite datum/atom and simple datum/atom
datatypes, which at least just spares us from the headache of clearing
the refs on del from lists too.
So, taking the shortest path, I decided to adapt the messenger to the
weak ref usage.
Another thing, instead of refusing altogether to send message that
trigger the pda filter regexes, the messenger circuit will instead
replace the matches with grawlix, since we have no way to inform
whoever's responsible for said message about the filters in an orthodox
way.
Beside that, I've noticed several of the circuits from my PR were
lacking trigger outputs or similar when needed, pretty making them only
as half as functional, at least to a noob like me.
And another small issue with missing ports from the status display
circuit.
One more suggestion from moocow is to add a cooldown to the ringtone
trigger for the messenger circuit, because he said it's pretty spammy
and some admins are fickle.

## About The Pull Request
I had made the bad assumption that a pAI card always had a pAI mob in
it, which is not the case.
This fixes the runtime error, thus allowing people to eject a pAI card
that doesn't have a pAI in it.
I've also added a check in the pAI's Initialize to give them the ability
to use the modPC if they are made in it, so you don't have to eject and
reinsert the pAI, fixing another issue.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/81043
Fixes inconsistency and runtime.

fix: pAIs downloaded while in a PDA now gets the action button to
control said PDA.
fix: pAI cards can now be ejected from a PDA when there is no pAI
inhabiting it.

## About The Pull Request
This PR integrates circuits for modular computers and a good bits of
their programs.
The peculiarity here is that modular computers have no fixed amount of
unremovable components (except the base one with just a couple ports for
now), instead, they're added and removed along with programs. With a few
exceptions (such as the messenger and signaler), for these program
circuits to work, their associated program has to be either open or in
the background.
For a reason or another, not all programs have a circuit associated to
them, still, however the programs with a circuit are still a handful.
They are:
- Nanotrasen Pay System
- Notepad
- SiliConnect
- WireCarp
- MODsuit Control
- Spectre Meter
- Direct Messenger*
- LifeConnect
- Custodial Locator
- Fission360
- Camera
- Status Display
- SignalCommander
*By the by, sending messages has a cooldown, so it shouldn't be as
spammy. If it turns out to not be enough, I can make it so messages from
circuit will be ignored by other messenger circuits.
The PR is no longer WIP.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I believe modular computers could make for some interesting setups with
circuits, since they're fairly flexible and stocked with features unlike
many other appliances, therefore also a speck more abusable, though
limits, cooldowns, logging and sanitization have been implemented to
keep it in check.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Modular Computers now support integrated circuits. What can be done
with them depends on the programs installed and whether they're running
(open or background).
add: Modular Consoles (the machinery) now have a small backup cell they
draw power from if the power goes out.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
This PR adds in a new app that scans the nearby area for "spookiness"
(e.g. presence of ghosts, mobs with the spirit biotype, objects made
with hauntium or containing hauntium). A bit clunky by all means. It's a
maintenance app, and as such is more often found in the rare maintenance
computer disks, or downloadable from emagged PDAs (IIRC), or perhaps the
black market item which I've also added here as well, that might contain
it amongst other things.
Oh, if you also have the camera app, it'll let you take pictures of
ghosts like the 'camera obscura' does.
Oh, and there's also a maintenance version of the arcade program too;
just , like, lazier and easier.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mostly a shower thought, 'cause I felt the idea maintenance disks to be
quite interesting yet lackluster, almost too niche. As for the remote
thought of using the app for validhunting, it isn't something you can
reliably get every and every other round, and if someone's got enough
ghosts circling them, chances are they're some big, loud antag or doing
something so cheeky, that they kinda deserve it.
Also, yeah, more black market stuff. Except for the misc section, it's
pretty lacking in uniqueness.

## Changelog
🆑
add: The Spectre-Meter modular computer app. A little, amatuerishly
coded app that, as the name implies, scan an area for spectral presence.
It can be found amongst other apps in maintenance computer disks.
add: An easier, lazier version of the Arcade app, also found in
maintenance.
add: Black market computer disks, which contains programs not readily
available to the average assistant.

## About The Pull Request
This is an update that touches many more things all at once (compared to
my other PRs) meant to make PDAs in general feel more consistent and not
take away from one of the experiences we want to encourage: interaction
between players.
1. Replaced all checks of a 'pda' with a 'modular pc'. This means
technically (though not done in-game currently) other modpcs can hold an
uplink, and microwaves can charge laptops.
2. Speaking of microwave, they now don't break and require
deconstruction if the cell is removed mid-charge.
3. When a Mod PC is out of power, it will now allow the Messenger to
work (which now also doesn't consume any additional power), if the app
exists on the PC. Here's a video demonstration
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/53777086/7ae12f81-a271-49b8-95fa-2ba54d2e2d1f
4. Flashlights can't be turned on while the cell is dead
5. I replaced a bunch of program vars with ``program_flags`` and renamed
``usage_flags`` to ``can_run_on_flags``.
6. Added a debug modPC that has every app installed by default. Mafia
had some issues in the past that were unknown because Mafia wasn't
preinstalled with any tablet so was never in create & destroy nor in any
other unit test. This was just an easy solution I had, but PDAs should
get more in-depth unit tests in the future for running apps n stuff- I
just wanted to make sure no other apps were broken/harddeling.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Currently when a PDA dies, its only use is to reply to PDA messages sent
to you, since you can still reply to them. Instead of just fixing it and
telling players to cope, I thought it would be nice to allow PDA
Messenger to still work, as it is a vital app.
You can call it some emergency power mode or whatever, I don't really
mind the reason behind why it is this way.
When I made cells used more on PDAs, my main goal was to encourage
upgrading your PDA and/or limiting how many apps you use at once, I did
not want this to hit on players who use it as a form of interaction.
This is the best of both worlds, I think.
The rest of the changes is just for modularity, if some downstream wants
to add tablets, phone computers, or whatever the hell else, they can
still get just as far as PDAs should be able to get to, hopefully.
## Changelog
🆑
add: PDAs with a dead power cell are now limited to using their
Messenger app.
fix: Microwaves now stop charging PDAs if the cell was removed
mid-charge.
fix: Microwaves can now charge laptops.
fix: PDA Flashlights can't be turned on while the PDA is dead.
fix: You can now hold a laptop up to a camera (if it has a notekeeper
app installed) like PDAs already could.

## 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.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Refactored some methods of items interacting with other
objects or mobs, such as surgery and health analzyers. Report if
anything seems wrong
/🆑
This flag only worked on the `/obj/structure` and `/obj/machinery`
level, so let's rescope it from `flags_1` and put it where it belongs -
`obj_flags`.
Bitflag operators should be scoped to their subtype specific bitfield,
not really useful to have this take up a spot on the `/atom` level if
absolutely nothing other than `/obj`s use it.

## About The Pull Request
I deleted the documentation file of ModPCs because it was barebones and

this isn't a net-negative, I improved on much of the autodoc and
comments in general around ModPC code to help people understand easier
what's going on around it.
I also renamed vars that were too easily confused with other var names,
and reworked the ntnet downloader a little;
- it now has a search bar
- it now has more sections to scroll through, hopefully making it more
accurate and easy to find what you need.
- also organized the apps that were previously shoved in 'other'.
- i also upgraded it to a .tsx because why not

## About The Pull Request
Currently, every time you open/close a program, that activity is logged
for the RD to see. This includes Nukies opening their disk tracking app.
Now, emagged PDAs will no longer log activities to Wirecarp, but I did
replace it with a log when the PDA is first emagged.
Basically, nukies are undetected, but Traitors can still be figured out.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/77201
I thought this would be better as it makes more sense to stop logging
when you're emagged, but as you are being emagged it will report the
modification instead.
## Changelog

fix: PDAs now log that they've been emagged, but will no longer log any
further programs they open beyond that. This means Nukies don't sell
themselves out by opening their disk tracking app.

## About The Pull Request
Mafia is now friggin playable from the PDA, I also changed other stuff
too
- You can't use abilities on dead people if you're not supposed to (cant
kill the same person over and over)
- Changelings cant kill other Changelings
- Changelings can now only talk to eachother at night, rather than using
:j
- Everyone starts spawned in the center of the map, since people playing
on PDA can't move their characters. This is so everyone can hear PDA
users in person, as I don't want the chat log to be mandatory.
To do this, all messages you are meant to be able to see, is now logged
for you to see in your Mafia panel. This essentially means that people
playing through the PDA get a downgraded version of it, but I don't know
how much larger I want this UI to be.
Playing Mafia through the PDA will not tell you of other players ahead
of time when signing up (as it shows ckeys + pdas), but they can see the
names in-game. Unfortunately this means we'll have to remove your
customization coming with you, to prevent using it to tell who is dead
in round.
Things I am missing
- Program overlays on PDA/Laptop/Computer
- Icon for the app's header while a game is active
I'm not a spriter and can't make either of these
This is the new UI
I also fixed alert calls for PDAs and stuff
and removed the X at the top on computers since they had no battery
Looks a little better now hopefully 👍
## Why It's Good For The Game
- The current Arcade app sucks, and is a solo game. This is much more
entertaining and you can talk to others in it, which is swag as fuck.
- There's a larger potential playerbase for the Minigame making it more
likely to be played.
- Sets groundwork for a better version of

- Adds more suspense and teamwork in the minigame.

## About The Pull Request
So one aspect of PDAs that I quite liked previously was managing and
upgrading your power.
This was lost when all cell parts got removed, mostly, and now I'd like
to re-add it.
PDAs and Tablets now use more power each second it's on
Programs being active/idle now take charge too.
And all this now takes ``seconds_per_tick`` into account.
Screenshots of APC use before and after having 6 programs open at once
PDA default power cells have a max charge of 1000, each cell use is
around ``1.00970340315`` power, which is ``1.01013789399`` w/ 2 programs
in idle and 1 active program (which is what PDAs are capable of). This
means it takes about 990 ticks to fully drain your power, or about 50
minutes, at max use.
This is completely blasted away the moment you put anything beyond a t1
cell inside of it, which is unfortunate but what can you do about tiered
parts being so poor.
The problem of no public PDA chargers are alleviated by
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78600
### Update
The PDA flashlight being on now also drains the battery 25% times
faster. PDA running out of charge now also turns the flashlight off.
## Why It's Good For The Game
You may or may not have to actually charge your PDA once in a round now,
maybe. I liked this part of tablets and would like to see it brought
back, managing your power to use your apps is important to ensure you're
not just using all apps 24/7
Because this also adds the functionality to add/remove power cells
again, it opens up to some minor little pranks/messing with people that
isn't completely destroying their tools, as well as some minor
upgradeability.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: You can now remove and replace power cells from PDAs (with
screwdriver).
balance: PDAs now drain their power cells harder, and also take into
account active programs & their flashlight being on.

## About The Pull Request
This PR lets pAIs inserted into a PDA to control the PDA of their owner.
They can see their own pAI configurations but cannot edit any of it.
They also can't eject themselves from it.
This means they can receive and send PDA messages as their owner, acting
like a personal secretary
This also adds support for multiple people using a PDA and its UI
updating for all of them and PDA messages being received and responded
to from multiple people under the same PDA
It also removes pAI camera in favor of using siliconcamera, which is the
same thing; this just cuts down on some copy paste.
I also reverted PDA's ringer being off preventing messages from being
sent to your chat, silent mode was meant to prevent only the ringing
sound.
## Why It's Good For The Game
pAIs can now do a little bit more to help their owners on a personal
level, and adds support for more stuff like this in the future (an idea
I had was being able to hack into PDAs in the same way the CE can hack
into APCs remotely)
This is a re-PR of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/76445 but
it's a little better this time and does not remove the PDA Messenger app
from pAIs.
## Changelog
🆑

Removes all of the duplicate global lists for specific machine types

Adds machine tracking to SSmachines in the form of a list for all
machines, and then an associative list for machines by their type.
Previously we have machines in multiple global lists, such as airlocks
being in GLOB.doors, GLOB.airlocks, GLOB.machines.
This makes that not a thing, and also means that iterating through
GLOB.machines looking for a specific type is no longer as expensive.
## About The Pull Request
New malf AI upgrade
Remote safety overrides: Mid-cost, Mid-supply. Allows the AI to remotely
emag things it can see and can access.
1. Very useful for psychological warfare (Emagging APCs to throw the
crew off their trail)
2. Logically makes sense - why, of all things, can the AI not emag
anything when it's fundumentally integrated with the station's
electronics?
3. Generally speaking can only access things that make sense for it to
access - it cannot emag ethereals, sadly
In order for this to work, emag_act now returns a boolean, designating
if the emag had any effect.
While I was in there, I also added args to every single emag_act I could
find and added far more feedback/converted a lot of things to balloon
alerts to allow the AI to see if its emag had any effect.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It just makes sense that the AI, the most electronically-sensitive
entity in the game, would be able to emag things. Plus, more options
given to malf that aren't strictly MURDER KILL MURDER are always a plus,
especially if they allow for fancier plays.
## Changelog
🆑
add: New malf ability: Remote safety overrides. Allows the AI to
remotely emag things it has access to.
code: emag_act() now returns a boolean designating it's success in

Remove welder fuel usage from all actions except attacking and leaving
it on
most welder tasks require a minimum of 1u of fuel, some longer tasks
require a minimum of 2 or 3u welders now drain 1u every 5 seconds
they're active
## About The Pull Request
Prior to this PR welder fuel usage was random, a lot of tasks didn't use
any welder fuel and welders were basically near infinite so long as you
didn't use them for combat, it took 26 seconds of activity to drain 1u
of fuel, that means an emergency welder alone could run for 5 minutes
straight before needing a refuel
After this PR all welders will drain 1u every 5 seconds instead of every
26 seconds, but welding objects won't require extra fuel anymore, making
the fuel usage much more consistent.
resolves#55018
## Why It's Good For The Game
Actually makes fuel tanks useful and relevant without making it
obnoxious to do repetitive quick tasks like turn rods into plates,

their UI every process tick, but since we now do this event based, this
is no longer needed, which is good.
- Replaces the 'forced' arg from kill_program as it was completely
unused, with ``reload_ui``, which is now used to open the UI on close,

## About The Pull Request
This is a continuation of
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/74085 - I announced in the
comments there that this would be my next PR, and this is it.
Removes SSnetwork, ``/datum/ntnet``,
``/datum/component/ntnet_interface``, ``var/network_root_id``, the
network unit test, and a lot of other things related to networks.
- NTNet circuits now check for an Ntnet relay, and uses signals to
operate.
- Logs in Wirecarp is now only for PDA and Ntnet Relay things, so you
can no longer see what ruins exist using it (why should Wirecarp know
that Oldstation spawned? The flavor is that they dont know its there).
- Removed it from MULEbots entirely, I don't think it even did anything
for them? Botkeeper seems to work without it, so it's possibly there
from pre-tgui PDAs.
- Moves assigning random names to a base proc instead of being tied to
network, this is things like random-naming scrubbers/vents. The behavior
hasn't changed at all.
- Makes Ntos work for consoles when relays are down, as the comments
said they're supposed to (because they're wired). I think this was an
accidental change on my part, so this is a revert of that.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ntnet is ancient code that hasn't given us much that we can't do with
already existing alternatives, we've been slowly moving away from it for
init times, and though a large portion of that was limited to airlocks,
I still don't think this is a system worth keeping around.
It's way too complex to expect feature coders to do anything with it,
and too old with better alternatives for anyone to want to improve any
of it.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Computers are now properly connected to Ethernet, and can use Ntos
when Relays are down.
refactor: Removes Ntnet and Ntnet interfaces, which was only used by
Ntnet circuits (which now directly checks for a Relay to work) and
MULEbots, which did nothing with it.
balance: Wirecarp no longer tells you what ruins spawned in a round,
instead it's limited to PDA logs, and tells you the source too. This
means the RD can catch someone running illegal programs if they don't
make any attempt at hiding it.
qol: Wirecarp logs is now set to save 300 at once, instead of 100 and
being increased to 300 by the RD during the round. This is pretty
insignificant, since there's no reason to NOT want as many logs as
possible.

in-game (just being visible to Wirecarp), once NtNet is deleted from
everything else then we can move it to ModPCs and limit logging to only
ModPC actions.
Fixes shutting off ntnet relays from Wirecarp, now you can properly shut
off Ntnet, and the warning that it kicks you out of the program is now
true.
Gives the Holodeck it's own network root define and fixes Syndicate
network showing up on Wirecarp
Wirecarp's PDA logs now shows the source of an action
## Why It's Good For The Game
Moves ModPCs further from NTNet so we can move towards deleting it
entirely
Makes Wirecarp more responsible and trustworthy
Removes useless stuff that never gets used, simplifying a overthought
overcomplicated system.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Wirecarp now properly shuts off NtNet remotely.
balance: Wirecarp now shows the source of a PDA that does an action.
fix: Wirecarp can no longer be used to see if Nukies exist through their
networks.
del: Removes Software downloading and communication Ntnet networks, as
they were pretty worthless.

## About The Pull Request
- Tablets now refresh their page when changing programs, this means the
UI will no longer close and reopen itself several times (or even have
several UIs open if shit broke hard enough).
- Removed tablet's attack self because interact already does everything
it had to do.
- Header programs now close when minimized (as there's no button to
close them in the main menu.
- Removed a lot of program UI stuff, it's now handled by the PC itself,
such as header data and ui host.
- Cut off asset sending from TGUI into it's own proc so I can re-send
assets when changing programs
- Added an ejection button for machine computers
- Fixed ID not ejecting into the user's hand when using 'Eject ID'
- Fixes a minor runtime when opening the MODsuit application without a
MODsuit already connected.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes some bugs that I found with tablets
UIS now won't be flickering as bad in front of them, or have
inconsistent placement (like when you move your main menu UI, go to
Messenger, then it's back to the center of the screen).

## Changelog
🆑
fix: Being in an application now properly uses the tablet's battery.
fix: Messenger and Themify apps now close when minimized, so don't count
towards the running app limit.
fix: Tablet UIs will now no longer spam open/close the UI when changing
applications
fix: Using the Eject ID button on tablets now ejects into your hand.
fix: Computers now have an Eject ID button
refactor: Cut down a lot of copy paste in tablet & program code, now
it's mostly done by the tablet.

This builds on what #69790 did and improved the code even further.
Notable things:
- `Topic()` is a deprecated proc in our codebase (replaced with
Javascript tgui) so it makes sense to rename `canUseTopic` to
`can_perform_action` which is more straightforward in what it does.
- Positional and named arguments have been converted into a easier to
use `action_bitflag`
- The bitflags adds some new checks you can use like: `NEED_GRAVITY |
NEED_LITERACY | NEED_LIGHT` when you want to perform an action.
- Redundant, duplicate, or dead code has been removed.
- Fixes several runtimes where `canUseTopic` was being called without a
proper target (IV drips, gibber, food processor)
- Better documentation for the proc and bitflags with examples
