rscadd: Once the blob alert message is sent in the blob game mode, all mobs get to see how many tiles the blob has until it wins, via the Status tab.
rscdel: Removed/merged a bunch of blob chems, you probably don't care about the specifics.
tweak: The remaining blob chems should, overall, be more powerful.
tweak: Shield blobs soak brute damage less well.
tweak: Flashbangs do higher damage to blobs up close, but their damage falls off faster.
experiment: Shield blobs now cost 15 resources to make instead of 10. Node blobs now cost 50 resources to make instead of 60.
experiment: Expanding/attacking now costs 4 resources instead of 5, and blobs can now ATTACK DIAGONALLY. Diagonal attacks are weaker than normal attacks, especially against cyborgs(which may be entirely immune, depending), and they remain unable to expand diagonally.
rscadd: Shield blobs no longer block atmos while under half health. Shield blobs are still immune to fire, even if they can't block atmos.
tweak: Blobs should block explosions less well.
rscadd: Blob cores and nodes are no longer immune to fire and no longer block atmos.
rscadd: Blobs can only auto-expand one tile at a time per expanding thing, and should be easier to beat back in general.
tweak: Blobbernauts now attack faster.
tweak: Blob Overminds attack mobs slower but can attack non-mobs much faster.
rscadd: Blob Overminds start with some amount of resources; in the gamemode, it's 80 divided by the number of overminds, in the event, it's 20 plus the number of active players, and otherwise, it's 60.
bugfix: You can no longer move blob cores into space, onto the mining shuttle, white ship, gulag shuttle, or solars.
bugfix: Blob rounds might be less laggy, if they were laggy?
tweak: Blobs don't heal as fast, excluding the core.
experiment: Blobs are marginally less destructive to their environment.

Objective:
maybe possibly make blob something you can fight instead of wishing the blob didn't exist?
but also make the blob lethal enough that it can still deal with the crew if it knows what it's doing(and still lose if the crew is good instead of snowballing forever)

add: A giant wad of paper has been seen hurling through the nearby sector of SS13, officials deny existence of giant paper ball hurling through space because 'thats really fucking stupid'.

Mjor the Creative, a wizard with the taste for the arts, has used his magical craft to form a home made of papier-mâché hurling through space because hes a wizard he can do whatever the fuck he wants. He uses his 'artistic' skill to conjure up minions to assist him when nosy people try to steal his priceless art.
He has two abilities he can use during a fight, one will summon copies of himself as mimics. Attacking a mimic does 50 brute to everyone around him and attacking him destroys all active mimics. The other ability lets him summon his crudely-drawn creations, bringing them to life to fight for him.
Killing him gives you access to his papier-mâché robe, a special collector's edition paper, and his priceless range of artwork. What more could you ask for?
The wizard's robe, when equipped, will allow the wearer to summon their own stickman allies. They are only loyal to who summoned them and will attack everything else. Ability has a cooldown between each use.
Boss code credit majority to @RemieRichards as it is a modified version of what she wrote up a couple months ago for one of my unfinished away missions.
All shuttles now use proper smoothing paths, I had to update them all by hand
I have a few more things to fix for titanium in this PR aswell
Also all syndie shuttles are now consistent with each other. (Added some more turrets since they aren't indestructible now)
(I was exaggerating/joking when I said its like 50 files changed but it turns out it actually is)
add: Titanium now spawns in mining again.
add: It has uses in R&D and robotics production.
add: All shuttle walls are now using a new proper smoothing path. Mappers please make sure to use this path correctly in the future. (along with tiles)
Repaths satchels so all the different ones are children of the normal satchel.
Allows angels to equip satchels since the satchels are on the side of the body instead of the back. Should help miners who find the potion out a bit.
* Adds an aesthetic new space ruin with original content (hi bawhoppen)
* do you understand its all in your hands its your move
* i made up my mind
time is running out
Added two new materials, Titanium and plastitanium. Titanium is naturally occuring, and plastitanium is an alloy made of plasma and titanium.
These materials can be used to build shuttle walls and floors, though this serves no current purpose.
Before you yell "SNOWFLAKE" about the materials, I have definite planned purposes for them, not to mention what else they could be potentially used for (mechs, R&D, etc.)
You can use titanium to make white shuttle walls that smooth (like the ones of the escape shuttle), and plastitanium to make the grey syndie shuttle walls. You can also make floor tiles out of each material for the different shuttle floors. This PR itself doesn't change any of the paths on the map to use smoothed shuttlewalls and I'll save that for a seperate PR.
Also this PR makes ORM code better and allows people to easily add new alloys
Sprites by WJ
blocks_air is getting phased out, this is the last thing that uses it that isn't a closed turf
In another pr when I have more time, i'll remove the var flat out.
Added dextrous guardians to the code, able to hold and use items and store a single item within themselves.
Dextrous guardians do low damage on punches, have medium damage resist, and recalling or leashing will force them to drop any items in their hands.
Fixes Alternate Appearances clobbering each other
Fixes Viewed Alternate Appearances not being cleared out during an atom's Destroy()
Fixes Kor's AA plants.
properly removes viewing_alternate_appearances AAs
Fixed locker access. Some slight visual changes to turfs as well as a small theatre-ish stage to the open bar/kitchen area. The front desk now has pamphlets to give to arriving guests as a short description of the place they just teleported to.
Also, all hotel staff now spawn in with mindshield implants (vigorous background checks to ensure any subconscious bloodlust urges are contained), as well as the energy shotgun being given a mindshield pin due to complaints about some people bumrushing the hotel for it.
