Its a relatively small refactor that changes the previous machinery "can_interact()" proc that literally did a full override despite half of their checks already existing in not one, but TWO parent procs, so i removed the redundant checks, added callbacks to its parents and then added the cyborg range check on the can_interact_with() itself. in doing so i also moved the interaction range var from silicons only, to mobs as a whole and defaulted it to a single tile, silicons override it to 7 (so pAIs and borgs like before) but then set AI and AI.eye to "null", because i have a check in can_interact that if there is no range set, then the range is effectively unlimited. and i even added code for when AI is carded and their wireless transmission is disabled it sets their range to "0" aka, it has no range to do anything even if it could
this was really complicated for me so despite my extensive testing it probably would be a bad thing if any of you want to test my code yourself to ensure there isnt a bug with this (theres no runtimes ive come across)
note: i did a lot of searching and going through machinery to ensure i caught all the little snowflake overrides and added can_interact() checks to them, but i may have missed one or two things, especially maybe a altclick or ctrlclick somewhere, however i believe i caught most of them
one nice side effect of this refactor is that you can actually set another mobs range to something other than 1 tile and they can interact at range, rather than only silicons getting this ability, an admin could VV a human to have a 3 tile arm reach as a meme if they want
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.
This PR unifies all Station Alert menus into one datum system.
This also means that the old html menus will be converted to tgui, which is a case for cyborg and AI menus. All menus above differ very little, practically only by amount of type of alerts they show except for the AI menu, which also has access to cameras in the alert areas and knows number of the alert sources.
Repaths everything referring to "toxins" while actually meaning either the room in science or plasma gas. While this PR might be disrespectful to our forefathers, given this is (I believe) a holdover from as far back as the Exadv1 days, this has constantly irked me since I started working with the code. None of the player-facing stuff has referred to plasma as toxin since before 4407 hit, besides the Toxins Lab, and yet all of the type-paths are still pointing at toxins, making it a nightmare to search for in a map editor, and making the code needlessly easy to confuse with that of toxin damage. So this just fires it into the sun.
Anything relating to Toxins, the science subdepartment, now makes reference to Ordnance instead. This felt fitting enough given the focus of the subdepartment is around the creation of and testing of explosives.
Anything relating to plasma gas has, fittingly, been made to refer to plasma gas.
Edit: Ah yes, I feel I should probably apologise off the bat for the size of this PR- the code touched is mostly atmos machinery and simplemobs, a few sprites here and there, and of course the station maps + a few offstation maps.
Makes the code more legible and makes mapping less painful.

Quality of life; it spares us from having to walk all the way around or destroy them with either a wirecutter (faster) or any impromptu weapon (slower, as they currently have 300 maximum integrity, despite taking only three iron rods - one more than grilles - to make) in certain occasions, and it's already a thing on other codebases that have railing objects.

woke up today with a ridiculous idea of semi-automatic compile time loop unrolling, wasnt worth the complexity in the least but it made the basis of this PR which i then continued work on. makes area_sensitive_contents into a more general system of important_recursive_contents where we can define reasonable uses to replace recursive contents iteration of the type found in get_hearers_in_view() as long as everything that uses it isnt something incredibly common to the point that it noticeably increases memory usage.
Implements appropriate signal handlers for /obj/item/proc/attack_secondary() - Secondary item attacks now send signals and signal handlers can now cancel the attack chain, continue it or move to the primary attack chain.
Adds a kneecapping element.
Kneecapping element replaces the item's secondary attack with an aimed attack at the kneecaps under certain circumstances. If these circumstances are not met, the secondary attack chain will continue as normal with the item's normal secondary attack.
Element is incompatible with non-items. Requires the parent item to have a force equal to or greater than WOUND_MINIMUM_DAMAGE. Also requires that the parent can actually get past pre_secondary_attack without the attack chain cancelling. Funnily enough, the Element doesn't require a blunt weapon. If admins add it to sharp or pointy weapons, they get the same aimed attack but with sharp and pointy wounds instead - Because all the Element does is add a hefty wounding modifier.
Kneecapping attacks have a wounding bonus between severe and critical+10 wound thresholds. Without some serious wound protecting armour this all but guarantees a wound of some sort. The attack is directed specifically at a limb and the limb takes the damage.
Requires the attacker to be aiming for either leg zone, which will be targetted specifically. They will than have a 3-second do_mob before executing the attack.
Kneecapping requires the target to either be on the floor, immobilised or buckled to something.
Passing all the checks will cancel the entire attack chain for the Element to handle attacking logic.
This Element has been added to the baseball bat. Any other items that wish to implement its functionality in the future are free to.
Strips out the existing right click code - Due to the myriad of ways right clicking has been implemented, dedicated signals and procs for right clicking without modifiers are fundamentally incompatible with our system of primary and secondary attacks.
Adds additional signals to attacking code. These signals allow atoms to cancel the attack chain early on secondary attacks, or override the standard procs and not send signals to prevent any undesired behaviour from signal handlers.
Items that used RightClick procs have been converted to attack_hand_secondary.
The slaughter demon, having its own set of snowflake code as poor OOP principles have been applied in UnarmedAttack() procs with lacking calls to parent procs and arbitrary redefinition of behaviour, checks for a right click in its own UnarmedAttack() and performs a bodyslam off that.
Storage components now hijack the secondary attackby stage via signals to handle their opening and closing shortcuts on right click. When you right click a storage component equipped item with an object in your active hand, the object has an opportunity to perform its logic in pre secondary attack code and cancel the attack chain. If it does not cancel the attack chain in pre-attack, then the storage component takes over for attackby and, if possible, opens the relevant inventory and ends the attack chain.
The forensic scanner is a proof-of-concept of this working in action. With its scan logic moved from afterattack code to pre attack code for right clicking, right clicking with the scanner will now perform a scan where previously one was impossible. Left clicking still does what it always does - Scans at the very end of the attack chain.
The logic still isn't perfect - For example, you still can't attack containers in melee even in combat mode (you'll either open them or put your weapon into them regardless of which option you choose) - But this is a better setup overall which allows for items to at least override this behaviour in pre-attack if needed.
This animate wouldn't run if the jump was too big, meaning we were only ever animating 1 or 2 pixels of parallax, and i do not believe the cost on the server nor the client is warranted for how unnoticeable this animation is.
This PR cleans up and improves Swarmer HUD:
They are now a subtype of a generic living HUD, which brings them a generic living healthdoll and pull icon (should they be able to pull).
Swarmers will now show severity of their injuries as a red screen overlay to the user.
Swarmer's abilities now have tooltips to clarify their use upon mouse hover. Abilities names and descriptions were slightly changed and cleaned up to accomodate for this change and to be more useful to the player.
Converts most spans into span procs. Mostly used regex for this and sorted out any compile time errors afterwards so there could be some bugs.
Was initially going to do defines, but ninja said to make it into a proc, and if there's any overhead, they can easily be changed to defines.
Makes it easier to control the formatting and prevents typos when creating spans as it'll runtime if you misspell instead of silently failing.
Reduces the code you need to write when writing spans, as you don't need to close the span as that's automatically handled by the proc.
(Note from Lemon: This should be converted to defines once we update the minimum version to 514. Didn't do it now because byond pain and such)
This PR fixes radial info boxes, like blob strains or spider clusters have. Since some layer changes sometime ago, these little boxes layer behind the rest of radial button - so they are quite hard to spot and click. Now they will once again properly layer over the radial button, like they used to and how are they supposed to.
credit to zewaka for the idea of using underlays
turns the lighting object movables that were unnecessary and increased maptick into a datum which then applies and removes an underlay in update(). also applies a lot of general lighting clean ups (mostly using as anything in loops and fixing single letter var names).
multiz is a little different by necessity, now only the bottom turf's lighting matters in the brightness of the top turf unlike master where the bottom turf's lighting object is hidden from the vis_contents of the top turf. there are still some kinks to iron out here though, since currently objects suspended in openspace (like tram platforms) look bad and glass floors look bad too
only thing i have left to do is make multiz work (well)
UPDATE: multiz now appears the same as far as i can tell, its possible there are other situations in which its different but datum mats work and it automatically updates if the turf below changes. now i just need to make the system less finnicky if at all possible (and possibly merge managed_turf_vis_content with managed_overlays maybe?)
new update: its basically equivalent to normal multiz as far as i can tell (visually at least, in the circumstances ive tested so far)
NEW NEW UPDATE: turfs no longer have the VIS_HIDE vis_flag and multiz works without stacking the lighting from the floor below! so this shouldnt have any overt drawbacks to master anymore
1 needless movable per tile is terrible for maptick. this is probably a larger improvement than my emissive blocker change in terms of maptick. im guessing we'd get around 0.6 average maptick per player after this where currently we get 0.85 or so
Edit: according to lemon, sybil reached 0.71 maptick per person when tm'd with this
if this is a big enough improvement i might finally be able to get rid of the Gone discord avatar
Sourced from #59118 and a cursed project I'll pr later, This pr contains a lot of harddel fixes for stuff that pops up after a player interacts with something. I'm not gonna list them all here because there's something like 60 130, check the commit log if you're curious
Oh and I moved ref tracking screaming to a separate define, and made some optimizations to the thing in general. I think that's it, this pr is a bit of a frankenstine
Mousing over an inventory slot with an item in-hand can trigger a call to equip_delay_self_check.
If the item has an equip_delay_self and bypass_equip_delay_self is FALSE, then it acts like it's going to equip the item and starts a do_after.
I think the only two items that do this are /obj/item/clothing/gloves/cargo_gauntlet and /obj/item/clothing/suit/straight_jacket
I make sure the call to can_equip back in the /atom/movable/screen/inventory/add_overlays section of the call stack calls with bypass_equip_delay_self = TRUE to prevent this.
Right-clicking a reagent container in your active hand will pick the previous transfer amount instead of the next one

Fixes the hierophont causing its beacon to harddel
Removes the M variable from megafauna actions, it was used like a typed owner and caused harddels, so I burned it
Fixes target and targets_from harddels, replaces all setters of target with LoseTarget and GiveTarget, which should help maintain behavior. I'm not sure if this breaks anything, but if it does we should fix the assumptions that code makes instead of reverting this change
Fixes more area_senstive_contents related harddels, we need to allow the mob to move before clearing out its list.
Fixes marked object harddels (I'm coming for you admin team)

Fixes bot core harddels, I hate the fact that this exists but it has no reason to know who its owner is
Adds a walk(src, 0) to simple_animal destroy, it's the best bang for the buck in terms of stopping spurious harddels. Walk related harddels aren't that expensive in the first place, since byond does the same thing I'm doing here, but this makes finding mob harddels easier, so let's go with it
I fixed another source of part harddels, I hate fullupgrade so much

The emissives system is the system that both lets computer screens and vendors glow in the dark and lets mobs and items block those glows. The current implementation relies on using filters to let mobs and items mask out the glow in the dark overlays on some structures. This is difficult to extend properly without massively increasing maptick. This PR changes the emissives system to use BYONDs native image layering to mask emissive overlays. This should prove to be a more extensible option.
tldr; There exists a system that lets computer screens glow on the dark and lets mobs and items block the glow. It isn't very extensible and this PR attempts to make it more extensible.
How emissive overlays used to work
Currently emissive overlays and the emissive blockers that mask those overlays are handled using a system of inter-masking planes. The emissive overlays and the emissive blockers are placed on separate, hidden plane masters. These are essentially rendering layers and groups. The emissive blocker plane is then used to mask the emissive overlay plane which effectively allows the emissive blockers to block the emissive overlays from being seen. After is has been masked the emissive overlay plane is used to mask the lighting plane, essentially creating holes in the shadows wherever an unblocked glowing thing exists.
Why this is a potential problem
This system works fine. In fact it works great! The computer screens glow, any person or item that winds up on a computer blocks the glow, and everything just works. However, this system runs into some issues when you try to extend it to work on things other than structures. Namely, the current system only supports emissive overlays on structures and emissive overlays that are completely unblockable by any means. As a result, several interesting uses to the system require extending the system.
As a result, if you want to apply emissive overlays to items (which exist between structures and mobs) or emissive overlays to turfs (which exist below structures) you must extend the emissives system to get the emissive overlays and emissive blockers to properly function. Doing this naively, by adding extra emissive overlay and emissive blocker planes and applying all of the relevant masking filters, is not exactly performant.
Maptick is a major contributor to lag and the higher the maptick the more free lag you, the player, get delivered fresh to your client. Trying the naive method resulted in #55782 (1f1b58bb26), an attempt to add glowing carpet to the game. Since the PR revolved around adding glowing carpet it had to extend the emissives system to allow for emissive turfs and emissive blocking structures. Extending the system was done naively as described above and you can see the results. 1.5 times the maptick across the board. Ouch.
So, we know that extending the system in it's current form is impractical. At least if done naively. Thus we are stuck.
tldr; The emissive system currently uses inter-plane masking to allow for emissive blockers to function. This is difficult to reasonably extend without murdering maptick. See #56496 (1f1b58bb26) for the results of naively extending this system.
How emissive overlays are going to work
Alright, so we know that the current system of using planes to let the emissive blockers mask the emissive overlays is difficult to extend in it's current form. The solution is to change how the system works so that it can be extended in a more efficient manner. What we want is a system that allows one set of images to be out masked by another set of images and for the first set of images to be capable of masking the light plane. Preferably, we would also like the ability to interleave the masking effect between emissives and emissive blockers with almost arbitrary layering.
Conveniently, this layering and masking is something BYOND already does to normal items and objects. If we put the emissive overlays and the emissive blockers on the same plane we can use their layers to interleave them almost arbitrarily like any normal structures and items! All we need is a way to mask away the emissive blockers from the resulting rendered plane and we can mask the lighting plane with the remaining emissive overlays.
Luckily, BYOND has provided a single filter that is capable of this task. The color matrix filter. This filter can be used to apply a color matrix to an image! Provided that the emissive overlays and the emissive blockers are different colors we can use a color matrix filter to effectively mask out the emissive blockers from the plane! The resulting emissive plane can be applied as an alpha mask to the lighting plane as it used to, to the same effect. The best part is, we get layering practically for free!
This is exactly what this PR does. It converts the emissives system from the old plane and masking based blocking to a new layer-based system which uses BYONDs native layer handling to mask the emissive overlays.
Moves eyestabbing off from an item flag that is checked on every item attack to an element.

Drones are little robots inspired by Keepers from the Mass Effect games. With laws to maintain both the station, and their distance from the matters of others, they were a great ghost role that let you fix up the station when you were otherwise out of the round. They were in the game for quite a while, but were abused. The abusive players completely ignored the laws and did whatever they wanted. Being tiny ventcrawlers, this became a huge issue for admins.
I attempted to bring them back, this time with some gameplay restrictions to enforce their laws a bit better. It seemed to go well, but I required headmin approval, and this all happened near a headmin election, so the project died.
Recently, some people have wanted to bring drones back. So, they gave me a ring, and I started a discussion with the admin team to see what other changes they would want in addition to the previous ones.
Here are those changes:
They can't interact at all when close to another being, living or dead
Their binary chat has been removed to separate them from AI and borgs
They can only hold a whitelist of items necessary to do their job
They can only interact with machines necessary to do their job
The drone satchel is gone, and drones now have built in basic tools
They also can't interact in some blacklisted high risk areas
Finally, you must play 40 hours total as a Silicon role in order to play as a drone
Additionally, the drone dispenser is not mapped, and the drones must be researched to be constructed.
Why It's Good For The Game
Drones are a fun way to pass the time, and this time they have a lot less freedom. You can still perform the basic function of maintaining the station, but not without difficulty and tedium. This will allow other station roles to perform much better than the drones, while still letting them chug along at their slower pace.
Emergency meetings work now
This loop shouldn't give up so quickly

## About The Pull Request
Changes up some layer and plane defines for no particular reason lol
## Why It's Good For The Game
Planes actually override layers, and layers control ordering within planes. A lot of the usage of plane and layer was wholly unnecessary. This refactor helps future maintainability while also being needed staging for _future features._
Adds the High-performance liquid chromatography machine - a new roundstart method of detecting purity, as well as a method of partially purifying reagents.
A single machine has been added to each of the 4(5) maps - this lets people determine their purity based off the size of the green (pure portion) to the orange (impure portion) of a reagent's peak shown on the mas spectroscopy display. If a reagent is impure - it will be displayed as red.
In addition to this function, the HPLC can purify reagents by selecting a range of them and pressing the purify button. This will cost some time depending on the mass of the reagent and will purify it up it's default purity (in the tweaked reagent cases - 75%, for the reagents I've yet to get to - 100%). It will also reduce the volume accordingly (so in essence you are reducing the volume of the impure parts).
The sprite itself will indicate when it's running, so you don't need to be nearby it or use the UI to know when it's done
