* Fix nuclear operative induction implants (#79554)
## About The Pull Request
Fixes#79547#78597 broke induction implants by replacing the "has antag datum" check
with a "does not have a fake antag datum" check which passes on a null
case. I added an `isnull()` check to cover this.
The introduced `antag_flags` var was by default set to
`FLAG_FAKE_ANTAG`, presumably in error as the only antag datums to
override this are ERT and Valentines and they just set it to
`FLAG_FAKE_ANTAG` anyways. This also means the induction implants ONLY
worked on non-antags and anybody with any antag datum would fail the
implant. I changed the default to `NONE`. This may have some knock-on
effects as `is_special_character()` was returning `FALSE` with any antag
datum (unless allow_fake_antags was passed) but no special role which
this also fixes.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Non-antags can no longer self-antag their way onto a nuclear operative
team and antags can now antag their way onto a nuclear operative team.
## Changelog

fix: Nuclear operative induction implants now work correctly on

* Basic Shades (#79469)
## About The Pull Request
Makes shades into basic mobs. As they are solely player-controller and
have no AI, this was a very simple conversion.
Things of note:
- I've made shades use the same "theme" system as constructs, to
determine their drops and coloration - as opposed to these things being
manually set by the type of soulstone they're held in.
- I've reorganized files slightly, putting both constructs and shades in
a new "cult" basic mob folder.
That's more or less it. As I said, shades are simple.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Basic-izes another mob and cleans up the code a little. Removes the last
cult-related simplemob, too.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Shades now use the basic mob framework. Please report any
bugs.

* Wall smashing > Wall tearing (#79432)
## About The Pull Request
This PR replaces a bunch of instances of mobs being able to smash walls
by clicking them once to being able to tear walls by standing next to
them for a few seconds while an animation occurs. Wall tearing is a
three-part animation and can be cancelled and resumed at any point from
the most recently completed step so it isn't _exactly_ a single two
second interaction, and is resultingly harder to interrupt.
Some mobs still destroy walls in a single click, such as Flesh Worms and
Star Gazers. Really whether I replaced this or not was largely down to
vibes.
It also deletes the `tear_walls` element because it was the same as
`wall_tearer` but without the fun visuals.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Deleting walls instantly with a single click is pretty obnoxious. This
method slows it down a _little_ bit but also looks visually cooler and
gives people on the _other_ side of the wall a warning that something is
about to bust through kool-aid man style.
## Changelog

* Changelings take much longer to revive when killed by Megafauna (#79439)
## About The Pull Request
Changelings take 8x as long to revive when felled by Megafauna. (5
minutes 20 seconds, rather than 40 seconds.)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Prior to #77731 , changeling miners had to be cautious around Megafauna
as anyone else.
This is fair, lings should be afraid of Megafauna. As with any other
antagonist, taking on a Megafauna for their loot presents option to
become a much stronger antagonist at risk of losing your antag round.
But now, a ling can just get up again and again until they win the war
of attrition. This is rather lame. It completely eliminates the risk
part of the risk reward, and makes clearing lavaland brain-dead.
I wanted to make them gib lings again, but this raises a big metagaming
issue that I would rather not tackle. ("Lol someone got gibbed, RIP ling
bozo")
I also considered making it so being gutted completely prevents ling
revival, so you need to be revived like any other miner, but I am
certain people would complain about how it makes no sense why a ling
just couldn't Get Up Lol.
So I thought to approach this with a compromise - making it take much
much longer to revive if you are gutted by a megafauna. This makes
clearing all of lavaland less of a brain-dead, risk free thing, as dying
forces you to sit out for a while, but you still have some ling safety
to fallback on.

* Basic Constructs: Proteon (#79425)
## About The Pull Request
Last one! Makes proteons into a basic mob, and completely removes the
simple_animal construct supertype.
Proteons aren't really designed to be played by a player, instead being
a nuisance mapped into various ruins and traps. As such, they don't
really have any special abilities. Instead, the hostile variant has a
somewhat unique behavior. They'll viciously attack anyone who comes
close, but, being frail little cowards, if a proteon takes damage it
will immediately flee. After a random period between 2 and 4 seconds, it
will stop fleeing and come back for more.
In addition to this, a few other things have been done, some only
related because they're in files I touched.
- Moved proteons from the file for the Cleric's Den to their own file in
the basic constructs folder. Given that they're used in several
different ruins, they might as well not just be in the file for one.
- Simple constructs have been cut, and with them the procs for
healing/repairing on shades and cult structures, as those are no longer
needed.
- Because I was touching it anyway, I touched up the file for trap
structures. They no longer use any one-letter variable names, and time
is now universally listed in seconds rather than deciseconds in that
file.
- I removed a completely unused blackboard key from ice demons. This is
something I noticed due to a change I ended up not making while working
on proteon AI, but I figured I might as well leave it gone.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Kills the last three simple construct typepaths, bringing us to the
destined 19 removed. Huzzah!
The proteon AI routine should inject a little spice into fighting
proteons, especially for the unprepared - unlike many mobs, they won't
stand there and take it if you decide to fight back, but you can never
safely ignore them when they run away. They still aren't particularly
dangerous.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Proteon constructs now use the basic mob framework. The ones
encountered in ruins are a bit flightier now, and will briefly flee
combat if attacked - only so that they can return and menace you again
soon after. Please report any bugs.

* Changes the Malf Ability "Robotics Factory" to be purchasable multiple times. (#79303)
## About The Pull Request
- Removes the line that prevents multiple purchases of the Robotics
Factory ability.
- Adds a check to prevent the same message being given to the AI about
being unable to shunt after the first use.
- Sets Active to False at the end of the activation proc, to properly
handle having multiple charges of the ability.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The robotics factory is powerful, but has some pretty hard drawbacks.
The main being a removal of the ability to shunt. But you also
inevitably and permanently change the shift into being Crew vs Silicon.
The robotics factory itself isn't super tanky, and it's not hard for it
to be destroyed through any number of means (not to mention it requires
a powered APC). Losing the factory doesn't undo any of the downsides,
which can feel terrible if you get blindsighted.
This give the AI a way to recover and continue after a factory loss.
You'll still need another 100 points (which is ten APCs, hacked over the
course of ten minutes).

* [NO GBP]Fixes tesla zaps. (#79398)
## About The Pull Request
Closes#79297Closes#79312
Due to the new cutoff parameter being added to tesla_zap() (from
#78310), and most callers used positional arguments instead of keywords,
the zap flags was getting fed the shocked_targets list and maybe other
junk. This caused a bunch of unusual phenomena. This is fixed by using
keyword arguments.
Tesla zaps that use the grid were significantly weaker in terms of
damage than they're supposed to be. This was a byproduct of trying to
convert everything to joules and removing unnecessary power multipliers.
This is fixed by reverting the damage scaling and zap power of zap
sources that aren't based on grid. Technically this will cause the zaps
from other sources to have less power, but these tend to not be able to
put power on grid, so this wouldn't have any change other than what a
grounding rod displays. Doesn't really matter.
Logs machine explosions from zap_act. Not the most helpful log (would
take a lot of effort to add an extra parameter to pass the source), but
better than nothing.
Probably other stuff I did, lol.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Stops zap fuckery. Admins can now find the explosions when a 9GeV engine

* Basic Constructs: Wraith (#79235)
## About The Pull Request
Converts wraith constructs to basic mobs. The last of the "mainline"
constructs, though there's still one to go after this.
Wraiths are pretty much the same as they've always been - speedy
constructs that pack a bit of a punch, built around doing hit-and-run
tactics with their ability to ethereal jaunt. Notably, I've converted
their ability to recharge their jaunts with attacks into a new
component, `recharging_attacks`. This can be placed on any basic mob to
let them recharge a cooldown action by landing hits, which could
possibly be useful in the future.
NPC wraiths are pretty straightforward, with a twist - they will always
chase down and beat to death the lowest-hp mob they can see. Happening
upon one of these while wounded will end very badly! While I originally
wanted them to be more flighty and use hit-and-run tactics, I couldn't
figure out a way to do this that didn't look kind of silly and make them
less effective overall.
In addition to the wraiths, I've done some much-needed cleanup to basic
constructs as a whole, improving some things and covering some things I
missed along the way.
- Ectoplasm drop types from constructs is now properly based on their
theme. I _believe_ I've done this in a way that will pass unit tests
this time, but we'll see if my local tests were being honest with me.
- Player-controlled constructs now attack faster. I didn't realize that
being basic mobs capped them to attacking once every 2 seconds, which is
a gigantic nerf over the simple animal version. I cut this to just 1
second, which should be much closer to how it originally was.
- Artificers actually seek out and heal the most damaged ally they can
find, instead of the least damaged. Turns out the sort was doing the
exact opposite order from what I thought, which became much more obvious
when using the same targeting behavior on wraiths.
- I put the PR number in the juggernaut update script, which I somehow
missed on that one.
- Removed the extraneous "noncult" construct subtypes that didn't do
anything. The Artificer one, which does something, is still around.
## Why It's Good For The Game
For the same reasons as the previous three. 5 more simple animals gone,
and only one construct to go until I can nuke simple constructs from the
codebase entirely. Other than that, the new component could possibly
come in handy in future designs, and the NPC behavior should hopefully
be a little scary - even if just a little.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Wraith constructs have been converted to the basic mob
framework. NPC wraiths are now extra cruel and will attack the
lowest-health mob they can see at any given time. Make sure this isn't

* Light-Eaten objects can no longer emit light after being turned off and then back on (#79240)
## About The Pull Request
#67676 described a bug where PDAs can apparently emit a small amount of
light after being affected by the light eater. As it turns out, the bug
is even worse than that. It doesn't work for just PDAs, it works for
basically any light source that can be turned off and on. Even
flashlights. In the following pictures, a flashlight has been
light-eaten and then turned off and on again:
Observe how the nightmare jaunt is available, as it should be. However,
one step closer to the flashlight:
The nightmare jaunt can no longer be used, because the flashlight is
still emitting light.
This PR just fixes that behavior. Light-eaten objects will now be
totally dark again, even after being power cycled. Closes#67676.

* Basic Constructs: Juggernaut (#79170)
## About The Pull Request
Converts juggernaut constructs to basic mobs. These guys are really
simple, so this is a pretty straightforward one.
The one notable thing about this PR is that I got annoyed that
projectile reflection code was copy-pasted in two different places (the
main one for things like the ablative trenchcoat, and right here on the
juggernaut). So, trenchcoat-style reflection is now a proc on
`/obj/projectile`, which is used in both places.
AI-controlled juggernauts are as simple as befits these big lugs, doing
nothing but slowly walking toward mobs and beating them to death with
their giant fists.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Removes another 5 simple animals.
Not too much else to say about this one, but it's easier to make
projectiles bounce off of things now if anyone wants to do that.

* Basic skeletons (#79206)
## About The Pull Request
Turns skeletons (the simple animal version) into basic mobs. This was
another incredibly simple conversion, since skeletons don't really do
anything but walk at you and beat you to death.
Because I thought it was funny, though, skeletons will now seek out
cartons of milk and drink them. Real milk will heal them for a
significant amount, but soymilk, being false milk, will deal them
grievous injury instead! Skeletons beware... I didn't add any other
sorts of milk due to limited ability with existing AI behaviors to
identify milk containers (they actually only look for the carton items).
Other than that, I've done some flavor adjustment for skeletons' attacks
- their effects and sounds will now suit the weapon they're actually
holding - for example, skeleton templars now actually use their swords
instead of slashing you with their horrible fingers. Along with this I
gave the basic skeletons a normal slashing sound, instead of the weird,
impactless hallucination sound they used to use for some reason. I never
liked that sound.
Finally, I've reflavored the spear-wielding skeleton mobs to "undead
settlers", following the naming of the corpses dropped by snow legions
as of #76898, rather than being named after an offensive term for Inuit
people. These skeletons do, after all, appear in settlements on alien
worlds.
To enable the flavor of milk drinking, I expanded the `basic_eating`
component to allow drinking rather than eating flavor, with a different
sound and its own set of verbs. This deletes whatever they drink from,
but c'est la vie.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ticks 6 more entries off the simple animal freeze. While skeletons are
still extremely simple, being largely-identical mobs that only exist to
beat you to death, being basic mobs should make them slightly better at
this job. Also, again, I think it's really funny that you can distract
skeleton mobs with milk, or even hurt them.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Hostile skeleton NPCs now use the basic mob framework. They're
a little smarter, and they also have a slightly improved set of attack
effects and sounds. They love to drink milk, but will be harmed greatly
if any heartless spaceman tricks them into drinking soymilk instead.
Please report any bugs.

## About The Pull Request
This makes a new ghost poll system which doesn't give TGUI popups -
instead, users are prompted to follow the POI and one of the orbiters is

This gives two things:
1. A deadchat notification:
2. A screen alert:
## Why It's Good For The Game
As stated in #76507, popups are pretty annoying. This is halfway between

* It is now possible to survive the Mansus (#79131)
## About The Pull Request
Fixes#79113
There were a handful of bugs with the Mansus realm, this PR fixes them.
Firstly an most importantly, a refactor to damage handling touched the
"unholy determination" effect incorrectly (and I'm not even sure why?),
causing it to damage you instead of healing you most of the time. This
damage was not avoidable, so most people would be crit shortly after
entering the area and stay there.
Secondly, some of the heretic realms were unlit. A change to when
lazyloaded template atmosphere initialises means that the bonfires were
trying to light themselves with no air. Now they do this in
late_initialize instead, giving time for air to arrive.
Thirdly, the spooky hands were runtiming when passing through transit
tiles outside of the bounds of the heretic map. They shouldn't be
effected by shuttle drag anyway, so now they aren't.
Fourthly, I removed a row of empty space at the edge of the heretic map,
just because it annoyed me slightly.
Finally, while I was touching the heretic buff I made it heal you 1/4 as
much as it originally did. This is a balance change rather than a fix,
I'll atomise it out if it is controversial but I don't really expect it
to be.
In the future I would like to come back to these and make each realm
more specific to the path, because I think we could make these both more
exciting and more characterful.
## Why It's Good For The Game

* Mafia can be played on your PDA (#78576)
## 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
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/75879
- Adds more suspense and teamwork in the minigame.

Really getting into the meat of the constructs now. Artificers have
become basic mobs.
On the whole, this was a pretty rote conversion, with no significant
gameplay changes other than the switch to using healing hands rather
than a unique heal ability. The player experience as an artificer is
more or less identical.
The _interesting_ part comes with the AI for the seldom-used "hostile"
variant. Hostile artificers, being squishy and laughably weak, are now a
dedicated "medic" role for constructs. They will perform triage, always
seeking the most wounded construct (or shade!) to give healing to. They
will not attack at all, but they _will_ flee with great speed if
attacked and not busy healing. If they are healing another construct,
they will remain even if they are beaten to death.
I've added some more AI functionality that may come in handy in the
future, and done some refactoring to keep things from getting out of
hand:
- A planning subtree for finding targets that will always select the
most heavily wounded living target that the mob can see (or rather, the
one with the least health). Useful again for medical triage, or for
making a particularly cruel mob that always attacks whoever is easiest
to kill. I plan to use this for NPC wraith constructs when I convert
them.
- Targeting datums can now check a blackboard key to see if they should
only target wounded mobs. This is particularly useful for "medic" type
mobs such as this one.
- I've refactored the "minimum stat" behavior of targeting datums to be
stored in a blackboard key. This removes the need to have unique
subtypes for each different minimum stat we might want. Which... for the
most part, weren't even used, leading to proliferation of several
completely identical targeting datums in a bunch of different files.
Hopefully this change will make things cleaner.
In addition, this PR fixes a pair of bugs from #78807 that I didn't
catch:
- Healing constructs can now actually heal shades. Turns out I forgot to
add the correct biotype.
- Healing hands, when set to print the target's remaining health, no
longer does so as a visible message.
The one thing I didn't do that I kind of wanted to is make NPC
artificers heal themselves when wounded and not busy doing something
else, but it ended up being kind of annoying to make a mob willingly
target itself. NPC artificers never had this behavior before, so I
consider it okay, but maybe I'll circle back to it later.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Another basic conversion, another 5 items off the checklist. Very little
should change in-game, though I think the new NPC AI could make for
interesting challenges in ruins or bitrunning or something.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Artificer constructs have been converted to the basic mob
framework. This should change very little about them, but please report
any bugs. NPC artificers are now smarter, and will focus on healing
nearby wounded constructs - if you see them, take them out first!

* Removes progression from midround and latejoin traitor, renames reputation to threat level (#79020)
## About The Pull Request
Reputation has been renamed to 'Threat Level' to more accurately
represent what it means.
Midround and latejoin traitors no longer have access to secondary
objectives, the ones which give TC and objectives.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Midround antagonists, like traitor, shouldn't really have the
progression system that is meant for roundstart. Final objectives in
particular are only suited for traitors who have worked towards it from
the start.
Reputation wasn't really a good name for the player-facing progression
system of traitors as you'd passively gain progression which didn't make
since if it was supposed to be your reputation.
## Changelog

balance: Removed secondary objectives from midround and latejoin
traitors.

* A comprehensive refactor / cleanup of `bullet_hit` and `on_hit` to cut out a single bad species / mob proc (#79024)
## About The Pull Request
- Refactored `bullet_act`. Adds `should_call_parent` and refactors
associated children to support that.
- Fixes silicons sparking off when hit by disabler fire.
- Desnowflakes firing range target integrity and cleans up its
bullet-hole code a bit.
- Cleans up changeling tentacle code a fair bit and fixes it not taking
off throw mode if you fail to catch something.
- The Sleeping Carp deflection is now signalized
- Nightmare projectile dodging is now signalized and sourced from the
Nightmare's brain rather than species
- Refactored how cardboard cutouts get knocked over to be less
snowflaked / use integrity
- Also adds projectile `on_hit` `should_call_parent` and cleans up a bit
of that, particularly their arguments.
- On hit arguments were passed wrong this entire time, it's a good thing
nothing relied on that.

* Heretic summon name fixes (#79055)
## About The Pull Request
Fixes#79049.
The ghost poll for heretic summons used the `real_name` field to display
the mob's name. However, for some reason, a couple of the heretic
summons have jokey nicknames as their real names ("Ashy" for ash
walkers, "Rusty" for rust walkers). I've opted to take the simple option
of making the ghost text just use the `name` field instead - it's used
for the admin logs around summoning, so it should be fine for the poll
too.
Also, I've capitalized "Fire Shark" and set its real name to also be
"Fire Shark". For consistency.
Finally, I've made heretic summon names not proper nouns, so examining
them will display "That's a Rust Walker" rather than "That's Rust
Walker". The Lord of the Night did not receive this treatment due to
being a unique thing.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's good when ghosts know what they're actually signing up to be.
Most heretic summons aren't unique entities, so it makes sense for them
to not be proper nouns.
## Changelog

fix: Heretic summons should now display the correct name when polling
ghosts to play as them.

* Starlight Control (Aurora works now, space gas doesn't touch starlight, narsie ending effects) (#78877)
## About The Pull Request
[Implements a setter for starlight
variables](af34f06b41)
I want to start to modify starlight more, and that means I need a way to
hook into everything that uses it and update it, so we can modify it on
the fly.
This does that, alongside removing space overlays from nearspace (too
many false positives) and making the aurora modify all turfs projecting
starlight, rather then all turfs in an area.
Do still need to figure out handling for the starlight color usage in
turf underlays tho (I gave up, we just keep it static. I'll fix it
someday but the render_relay strategy just doesn't work with its masking
setup)
[Reworks how starlight overlays
work](9da4bc38e2)
Instead of setting color on the overlays directly, we instead store an
object with our current settings in every mob's screen, and
render_target it down onto our overlays.
This lets us update overlay colors VERY trivially. Just need to set
color on the overlay var. Makes modifying starlight a lot cheaper.
It doesn't work on area overlays, because suffering, and it MIGHT induce
extra cost on clients. if it does we can do something about that, we'll
play it by ear
[Removes parallax starlight
coloring.](5f701a1b13)
I'm sorta iffy on the color, the effect can be real oppressive in some
cases, and I'd like to use starlight color for more events in world, and
having it vary can make that looking nice hard.
[Adds some visual effects to narsie being
summoned](a423cfcb2b)
As the rune drawing progresses space (starlight and parallax) go from
normal to greyscale. Then, right about when narsie shows up, starlight
becomes vibrant red.
It's a nice effect. I wanna do more shit like this, I think it'll
improve vibes significantly.

This gives us more pretty starlight shit, and the ABILITY to do more
pretty starlight shit. I'm pretty jazzed, and I hope people use this
proc more (keeping in mind that it's pretty hard on the lighting system,
and needs significant delay between changes)

* Bladists can now use silver *or* titanium while creating their blades (#78701)
## About The Pull Request
Blade Heretics can now use silver *or* titanium while creating their
blades.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Silver quite literally *only* exists on surgery tables. Being a blade
heretic with shit miners/roundstart means one of several things.
1. Wait for miners to come back with enough silver (They might never
come back or they might have not gotten any silver)
2. Go to lavaland to dig your own silver (Extremely time-consuming on
the antagonist role that has most downtime, death knell for latejoin
heretics)
All that is not even to mention that for some reason it takes two sheets
rather than one, and surgery tables give one silver when scavenged.
This all combined makes obtaining blades super annoying as the BLADE
path.
Now we can farm titanium off shuttles if the miners are jacking off or
dead, or if we joined 9 minutes to roundend.

* Manifest Rune/Capture the Flag no longer DNR you. Blocks suicides in CTF areas (#78957)
## About The Pull Request
You can return to your old body after playing CTF or being summoned as a
manifest rune cult ghost. This is done by slapping the temporary_body
component onto cult rune summons and CTF bodies. This also extends to
Medisim Shuttle knights.
This also blocks suicides from being performed in CTF areas. Ghosting
and "manually" suiciding is, of course, still an option.
## Why It's Good For The Game
There's no reason these two cases should lock you out of being revived.
They both also dust bodies on death or after their job is done, making
them a perfect fit for this component.
Blocking suicides ensures that all bodies are properly "cleaned up" by
the death dusting process. Gun suicides, for instance, would remove the
brain from the body and bypass cleanup. This not only prevents the user
from being returned to their old body, but likely has other unforeseen
problems that leaving a body behind might cause.

* Basic Mob Gorillas (#78918)
## About The Pull Request
Now we can make basic mobs with hands easily so I did, they don't
actually use their hands for anything with AI.
In the future we can come back and share the monkey AI where they pick
up items to hit people with, but frankly few weapons are more deadly
than a gorilla's fists.
IIRC I didn't really change their behaviour much, this is mostly just a
straight conversion. Main difference is that they will prioritise eating
nearby bananas and fruit salads over punching people.
When I make these conversions nowadays I need to decide between "does
this attack at the speed that it did as an NPC mob or the speed it did
as a player?"
I am arbitrarily deciding that gorillas are usually not players and
electing for the former, but tell me if you disagree.
I also made "show basic inhand sprites" into a component shared by
Gorillas, Drones, and Dextrous Guardians (all also now available to
become basic, once I get around to it),
And I added an AI behaviour to run a basic emote. This is similar but
different to "random speech", which kind of sucks and needs rewriting
anyway.
Gorillas don't speak, only ooga.

* Flesh Spiders Regenerate + QoL (#78704)
## About The Pull Request
Replaces the Healing Touch component on Changeling-spawned Flesh Spiders
with the Regenerator component, as the comment helpfully suggests.
Flesh Spiders can no longer touch themselves to heal, instead they
automatically begin regenerating their health if they go four seconds
without taking damage. It takes 6 seconds to fully regenerate, so 10
seconds to fully heal from the edge of death (less if you're not that
injured).
Also I changed the sprite for flesh spider eggs to a different one we
already had rather than regular spider eggs tinted red, just because I
felt like it.
Would be cool to give the spiders their own sprite some time, but that's
for another PR.
_Additionally_ the flavour text for flesh spiders was kind of messed up
by being shoved into the objectives box and claiming that it was a
directive from a spider queen you don't have, so I gave them their own
slightly different antag datum to compensate.
It also actually mentions how you heal yourself, which previously was
down to trial and error or codediving.
In the course of doing this I decided to just... move flesh spiders to
their own type path. It _sort of_ made sense for them to be part of the
giant spider typepath, but they keep being modified by changes targetted
at "balancing the Giant Spiders antagonist" which this mob isn't related
to and doesn't have any reason to follow. The fact that a mob has
similar stats to another one isn't automatically a reason to share a
typepath, and now that I have looked a little at this mob I'm sort of
interested in branching it further away from "it's a spider mob but
spawned a different way" in the future.
Finally, this spider egg cluster and the midwife one would prompt ghosts
with a radial menu with a single option on it... that's a bit pointless,
so we'll bypass that menu if there is only one possible outcome.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Currently Flesh Spiders heal by clicking on themselves and standing
still for two seconds, restoring 50% of their HP. This means they can
fully regenerate over 4 seconds unless you stun them, and with 90 HP
you're not _that_ likely to kill one during the channel time.
This just feels like an odd way for the creature to operate,
regenerating instead gives it a hit-and-run strategy and adds more use
to their webs (maybe we should give them meatier or bloody webs at some
point? Might be cool).
Also clicking yourself to heal is just unintuitive and I suspect several
players just didn't realise they could do it in the first place.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Flesh Spiders heal automatically over time if they go a short
time without taking damage, instead of healing large chunks by clicking
themselves and waiting two seconds.
qol: Spider egg clusters which only hatch into one kind of spider don't
ask you to select that one type from a radial menu with one option on
it.

yourself.

* Replaces the changeling spacesuit with a passive ability (#78763)
## About The Pull Request
Fixes#74168
I was going to make changes to the changeling spacesuit so that it works
on Icebox but then I thought, why not _not_ do that.
This isn't a commonly picked adaption so why don't we make it a little
better.
What's more spooky, hearing a knock on the window and seeing a fat suit
outside? Or this?
Picking Void Adaption will now make you immune to low temperature and
pressure (but not high temperature and pressure) and you will stop
breathing. If you enter an area with low temperature or pressure then
your chemical regeneration rate will decrease until you leave that area.
Because it doesn't put a suit on you, it now also works during Lesser
Form.
While testing this I noticed that we weren't calling `Grant` on passive
changeling abilities for some reason, I replaced that with the
already-written interface for making "an action which doesn't give you a
button".
If people really _really_ miss the fat suit I guess I'll rework that
instead, but I think I like this more.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes a niche-pick ability more useful and easier to use.
Meteor Changelings who land on Icebox now don't roll a dice to see if
they get instantly knocked out by the atmosphere there.

* Fix outdated research connections from the Lionhunter's Rifle and Rust Charge (#78880)
## About The Pull Request
So I've been diving into the code for heretic research tree, and I think
that, thematically, my mind was broken a little by the mess I've seen.
So here's something I think should not be the way it is: I found out
that [this old PR](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/76720),
while changing correctly what research the lionhunter rifle and rust
charge are unlocked by, did _not_ change what knowledge is in turn
unlocked by these nodes. So the rifle would still unlock the final tier
of knowledge and allow you to skip a bit of the tree if researched after
the earlier tier, whereas the charge did not unlock anything and so
couldn't be used to transfer paths.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Pretty sure this behavior was not intended. Heretic tree is already a
bit convoluted and I think the connections should make sense.
