* Basic Wizards (#79476)
## About The Pull Request
Makes NPC wizard mobs into basic mobs. These aren't actually used
anywhere, since their away mission was removed, so I figured I'd have
some fun with them.
Noteworthy changes are as follows:
- Wizard mobs can now wear any of the four basic colors of wizard robe
and hat. Rarely, they will wear the witch ("Marisa") outfit instead.
There was going to be a rare Tape Wizard spawn too, but the outfit
doesn't work correctly for some reason (see comments below).
- Wizard mobs no longer have a set spell loadout. Instead, they always
receive a random **targeted, primary spell**, a random **untargeted,
secondary spell**, and the spell **Blink**.
- Wizard subtypes (or var-edited wizards) can have any of the above
specified rather than random.
- Wizard AI will try to avoid ever being in melee, and will fire off
spells whenever possible with the priority order of primary > secondary
> blink. There is a mandatory 1-second waiting period between casts.
- Wizard mobs use "lesser" versions of Fireball and Blink. Lesser
Fireball does a little less damage and has a smaller explosion, though
it is still extremely dangerous. Lesser Blink simply has a smaller blink
radius so that wizard mobs don't just decide to leave.
Depending on their spell loadout, wizards can be _incredibly_ dangerous
mobs - stunning you with tesla blasts, shooting you with fireballs, and
more. Even weakened, fireball is the nastiest of these by far, able to
set you on fire or remove your limbs if you aren't properly protected.
Watch out!
The random lists have been kept pretty small, since I only wanted to use
spells that I know for sure work. Spell cards is pretty weak in AI
hands, since they don't take advantage of the fact that a human player
can spam it, but I wanted there to be a little variety in primary
attacks.
I included an UpdatePaths script here in case a downstream is using
these, but I doubt it was necessary.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Removes another simplemob.
The actual impact of this change is negligible, since this is an unused
mob, but it's possible that this lays the groundwork for these actually
being used - particularly since mappers can make them as powerful or
weak as they want by specifying a spell loadout. Wizards may make for a
tough boss challenge for a ruin or away mission, or a very mean surprise
for an admin to drop on an unsuspecting station.
## Changelog
As this is an unused mob, there are no player-facing changes.

* Spider Infestation Balance Rebalance Expansion Part 2 (#78705)
## About The Pull Request
Balances
1. Spiders now slow down equivalent to their health
2. Tarantulas can no longer put web passages or solid webs and destroy
walls outside of charge attack
3. Young spiders now cant pull objects do to being too weak and become
slower outside of webs as they should be
4. Makes pneumatic airlock seal unable to be destroyed by spiders
5. All Broodmother eggs now have a cooldown timer
Normal Eggs: 20 seconds
Abnormal Eggs: 180 Seconds
Enriched Eggs: 60 seconds
Expansions
1. Added a new abnormal egg category
2. Broodmothers can now lay abnormal eggs
3. 2 new spiders added
6. A new web type: Reflective silk screen
# Breacher
- Low damaging with High wound bonuses meant to debilitate enemies to
take ground for the nest
- Has the ability to breach areas by destroying walls with menson vision
to map out strategic breachings
- Immune to harsh environments with the ability to lay solid webs to
protect the nest environment
- Can send in warnings for the entire nest to hear
Will Help the nest get out of being closed off by small construction
attempts and fix some space breaches plus some back up by making enemies
slower and scarring them off with some bloodloss
# Tank
- Extremely low damaging build to absorb damage to hold ground for the
nest
- With the ability to lay down silk screen reflectors to protect the
nest from missile attacks
- Can heal itself at a slow rate
Will provide great support to keep the nest at bay from range attacks at
some extent and act as a damage absorber in dier situations
# Abnormal Eggs
- They can only be made once every 180 Seconds
- Hold the two new spider types
## Why It's Good For The Game
New spiders to contribute to the general spider antag team dynamic,
balances for spiders are always good making them funner to play against
and bringing up challenges on their gameplay making them act less like
murdering simple mobs and more like an actual nest trying to survive in
the station.
How?
1. **Cooldown egg laying:** broodmothers now have to be more strategic
on where they place their eggs with an average of 3 eggs per minute per
broodmother
2. **Spider slowdown on damage:** Spiders now will become slower the
longer they stay out of the nest in battle making them have to retreat
back to the nest shortening their time out murdering giving incentives
to expand the nest
3. **Spider More Brute Damage:** Gives a reason to use melee against
spiders although more dangerous it gives more reward due to the higher
damage outputs since spiders are pretty much big bugs with delicate
bodies no bones no good structural consistency equal more damage to
blunt attacks
4. **Tarantula Nerfs:** Tarantulas shouldnt be able to destroy this many
walls at this rate and be able to lay so many defensive webs I don't
know why they had this abilities but their strong enough as is
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added Abnormal Eggs
add: Added Two new spiders
del: Some Tarantula abilities
balance: Spiders speed are now connected to health
balance: Spiders now take more brute damage
balance: All egg laying now has a cooldown

* Nanotrasen basic mobs. (#78917)
## About The Pull Request
First and foremost, converts all Nanotrasen simplemobs into basic mobs.
To avoid messy and redundant code, or god forbid, making Nanotrasen mobs
a subtype of Syndicate ones, I've made Syndicate, Russian, and
Nanotrasen mobs all share a unified "Trooper" parent. This should have
no effect on their behaviors, but makes things much easier to extend
further in the future.
While most of this PR is pretty cut-and-dry, I've done a couple notable
things. For one, all types of ranged trooper will now avoid friendly
fire, instead of shooting their friends in the back. Even the Russians
have trigger discipline.
I've also created a new AI subtree that allows mobs to call for
reinforcements. I've hopefully made this easy to extend, but the
existing version works as follows:
- A mob with this subtree that gains a target that is also a mob will
call out to all mobs within 15 tiles.
- If they share a faction, mobs receiving the call will have the target
added to their retaliate list, and have a new key set targeting the
calling mob.
- If they have the correct subtree in their AI controller, called-to
mobs will then run over to help out.
Sadly, this behavior is currently used only by a few completely unused
Nanotrasen mobs, so in practice it will not yet be seen.
Finally, I've fixed a minor issue where melee Russian mobs punch people
to death despite holding a knife. They now use the proper effects for
stabbing instead of punching.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Removes 8 more simple animals from the list.
As said above, making all "trooper" type mobs share a common parent cuts
down on code reuse, ensures consistency of behavior, and makes it much
easier to add new troopers not affiliated with these groups. I expect
that I'll make pirates share this same parent next.
The new "reinforcements" behavior, though extremely powerful, opens up
exciting new opportunities in the future. There aren't many existing
behaviors that allow basic mobs to work _together_ in interesting ways,
and I think adding some enemy teamwork could be fun.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Hostile Nanotrasen mobs now use the basic mob framework. This
should make them a little smarter and more dangerous. Please report any
bugs.
fix: Russian mobs will now actually use those knives they're holding.

* Partially reverts ghost announcements (#79221)
## About The Pull Request
#79139 turned out to be quite annoying, it wasn't taken into account
that these alerts can stack (ie: spiders).
Of course, I poked around the code and found some inconsistencies in the
process. For instance, there were usages of Topic for custom action
behavior which could've been consolidated. There were other instances
where jump (the default action) doesn't give a link at all, which I
think it should anyway, since the screen toast gives you this.
I've standardized it more, meaning you can use "NOTIFY_PLAY" without
writing a custom link and topic handler (for instance, MMIs)

* Abandoned Domains: Adds two new psyker-oriented virtual domains (#78892)
## About The Pull Request
_Really? Bitrunning maps are so simple you could do them with your eyes
closed? Hmmmmm..._
This adds two new medium-difficulty virtual domains to the pool -- Crate
Chaos and Infected Domain.
These two domains take you to neglected corners of the virtual world.
These are unstable, bizarre locales that do not support the bitrunning
machine's visual display, and must be traversed using echolocation.
**_These domains have been designed around you being a psyker, and will
turn your bitrunner avatar into a psyker until they leave the domain._**
_**Crate Chaos:** Low cost, medium reward._
Sneak into an abandoned virtual domain, where they store all of the loot
crates. There's about 40-ish crates in this space, and one of them
(RANDOM) is the encrypted cache we're looking for. The crates must be
manually inspected, requiring you to drop your weapon for a few moments,
but that shouldn't be a problem. There's no hostiles, just a bunch of
crates... right?
This one has very few shenanigans or threats in it. It's meant to be an
introductory experience to interfacing with things as a psyker, and
getting the rhythm down for moving between visual pulses.
_**Infected Domain:** Medium cost, high reward._
Enter another abandoned virtual domain. This one was sealed off from the
digital world after the cyber-police failed to contain a virus that
zombified its inhabitants, leaving it to grow unstable and full of
holes. Fortunately, you're provided with the single best tool for arming
yourself against zombies in any video game, ever -- Your very own
Mystery Box. Get armed with (basically) whatever gun you want, and go
put those wacky psyker abilities to use against those zombies.
This one is a lot meaner. Many chasms, landmines, and zombies. Walk
slowly, stay with your fellow bitrunners, and if it's too hard, there's
no shame in going back and rolling for a better gun!
The domains themselves are VERY simple, since there's little need for
decor or particularly complex layouts. The idea is that you should be
able to see everything you need to see in a given room/area with a
single vision pulse. Here's what one of the maps looks like:
Err, uh, I mean... This is what the maps look like:
<details>
<summary>SPOILERS BEWARE</summary>
<br>
(You wanna find out if there's something cool under those red lines? Go
there yourself!)
</details>
These two psyker maps come with their own psyker safehouse too -- The
Bathroom. It's gross, the medical supplies are kind of just sitting
there on the floor... It looks a little bit better when you're blind, I
guess.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I like psykers a lot more than I'm willing to admit. Unfortunately, the
jankiness of echolocation provides such a disadvantage at times, that
any "real" conflict is usually over before the psyker is even aware
they're taking damage.
Fortunately, the controlled environments that bitrunning maps are
perfect for psykers. They give the opportunity to craft an experience
around the player being blind, rather than forcing them to play blind
through a seeing mans world.
These two domains should present players with a unique challenge that is
designed around playing as a psyker, with slightly higher-than-usual
rewards for their trouble. More importantly -- They're fun!
## Changelog
🆑 Rhials
add: Two new psyker-oriented virtual domains -- Crate Chaos and Infected
Domain.
add: Map helper for cyber-police corpse spawn.
add: Map helper for swapping the encrypted crate in an area with a
random crate from that same area.

* Watcher Nest Lavaland Ruin (#78790)
## About The Pull Request
Adds a small new lavaland ruin, the Watchers' Grave.
You will need to figure out yourself how to find a way through the walls
surrounding it (it's not very hard).
This is mostly just atmospheric but also serves as a delivery vehicle
for a unique item; an orphaned Watcher egg.
(That's kind of it in terms of loot, unless you count a handful of
lavaland mob corpses and mushrooms).
You can either eat this (it's an egg), throw it at someone to spawn an
angry watcher, or keep hold of it for a while and see what happens.
<details>
That's right it's your very own baby watcher.
It orbits your head and shoots at lavaland creatures for unimpressive
damage. It won't ever intentionally shoot a player but they might walk
in front of it, as it doesn't hurt very much they will probably forgive
you.
If you die it will continue circling your corpse to guard it against
predation.
</details>
In creating this ruin I also added a new component called "corpse
description".
It provides some extra examine text to a corpse which is removed
permanently if the mob is revived.
There's a field you can varedit on corpse spawners (or make a subtype)
which will automatically apply it to spawned corpses.
You can use it for environmental storytelling. Or admins can use it to
make fun of how you died.
Also I fixed basic mobs runtiming when examined by ghosts.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More variety in map generation. It's cute.
Adds a tool that mappers might like.

add: Adds a new lavaland ruin where you can find a unique egg.

* venus human traps are basicmobs + ""balance"" (#78749)
## About The Pull Request
theyre basicmobs now, tangling is an ability and also applies a leash
for the duration of the beam
they now have 100 HP
also when theyre not within 2 tiles range of space vines every Life tick
they take 20 damage(they have 100 max hp)
if they are in range however they heal 10 damage
theyre slightly slower too, and they deal 10-20 damage, from the
previous guaranteed 20 damage
also their attack cooldown is 0.2 seconds slower
the tangling does not automatically pull people but for the duration of
the tangle the victim is leashed to you
which means they cannot go out of range of you, so you can move
backwards to pull them closer (as seen in video)

also fighting these dudes unprepared is a death sentence and being
caught unprepared is easy if kudzu decides to spawn in the middle of
fucking nowhere and rolls flowering, then absolutely does not listen to
the protect kudzu part and goes from the middle of nowhere to medbay to
murderbone
hopefully this should make them less proficient at shredding people and
make them actually defend kudzu instead of murderboning

* 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.
qol: As a Flesh Spider, the game now tells you how you can heal
yourself.

## About The Pull Request
The protection from allowing a possessing mob to lay changeling eggs of
the dead headslug corpses present in the meateor ruin was a
post-creation variable edit rather than an immutable property of the
typepath, so if for instance you had some kind of item of clothing which
allows you to turn yourself into an instance of a mob via its typepath
you could use them to turn into a headslug, bite a monkeyman, commit
suicide, and then become a changeling.
An unintended consequene of two things added by the same developer?
Starting to stop looking like a coincidence, someone should investigate
this guy...
## Why It's Good For The Game

## Why It's Good For The Game
Consistency: There's no more ash walker corpses in legions on Icemoon,

Fluff: Eskimos that replace them make much more sense.

* Add policy for sentient mobs that were revived by lazarus injector (#77515)
## About The Pull Request
There's two policies:
* Normal lazarus injector gives you the 'friendly revived mob' policy
since it normally makes mobs friendly to everyone,
* Default text: "The lazarus injector has brought you back to life! You
are now friendly to everyone."
* EMPed lazarus injector gives you the 'slaved revived mob' policy since
it normally makes mobs only friendly to you,
* Default text: "You have been revived by a malfunctioning lazarus
injector! You are now enslaved by whoever revived you."
* The EMPed lazarus injector now also enslaves the mob to the person who
revived them, giving them the text: "Serve [reviver], and assist
[reviver.p_them()] in completing [reviver.p_their()] goals at any cost."
Suggestions for default text welcome,
## Why It's Good For The Game
There's currently no policy for lazarus revived mobs, so can be
confusing. See https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=34538

* More Suits resprites (Bonus: Chef/Bartender updates!) (#77558)
## About The Pull Request
Finally, my ultimate goal:
All Lawyer suits are now under suits.dmi. Having some suits in suits.dmi
and some in civilian.dmi was just really really weird and confusing.
Also updated some more Service stuff, specifically the Chef and
Bartender. Their uniform is the generic Service Buttondown, and their
other gear has been updated. The Bartender, notably, now has a new item,
the bowtie!
Full changelog:
- Adds Bowtie (and yes, it's in relevant vendors)
- Adds a greyscale Formal Jacket (the lawyer jackets but greyscaled)
- Removes `/obj/item/clothing/under/rank/civilian/chef` and
`/obj/item/clothing/under/rank/civilian/bartender`; replaces them with
`/obj/item/clothing/under/costume/buttondown/slacks/service`
- **Moves all Lawyer suit sprites to the suits.dmi**
- Converted `/obj/item/clothing/under/rank/civilian/lawyer/bluesuit` to
use the same GAGS configs as the buttondown (path unchanged)
- Resprited all Lawyer suits (except galaxy ones)
- Resprited the Lawyer jackets to match (including a currently unused
GAGS-palette one)
- Resprited the Chef Apron-Jacket and Hat
- Resprited the Botanist Overalls (and made them Greyscale)
- Updated the shirt on the Cook Jorts to be more up-to-date instead of
being new pants on a super crusty old shirt sprite.
- Puts stuff into vendors
## Why It's Good For The Game
Sprote updates yahoo!
Chef/Bartender showed their age, and essentially had the same uniform.
Now they look much more at home.
GAGS Suit jacket yippee!
This jacket was put into to the Bartender's vendor for the sake of
allowing them their own gimmicks, such as this:
New greyscale overalls wahooo! Since they're greyscaled they're also in
the clothesmate for anybody who really wants them.
The Lawyer suits just used an entirely different type of shading and it
made them stick out weird... I'm not quite sure on reshaping their
jackets but figured it's better to start with this and update them if
requested.
As for moving Lawyer suits to suits.dmi... I just don't like them being
split up. It makes it annoying to prevent duplicates or keep them all
updated.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added the Bowtie! Bartenders start with one on, but they can also
be found in the Bardrobe, Autodrobe, and Clothesmate. No need to tie it
either, it's just a clip-on.
add: Added a Greyscale "Formal Jacket" of the style that most suits use,
for crew who want to make their own using the buttondown shirt.
del: Removed the generic Cook/Bartender uniforms and changed them to use
the Service buttondown w/ slacks.
image: updated the majority of Lawyer suit sprites, along with the
Cook's Apron-Jacket and Hat, and updated/greyscaled Botany's Overalls!
Also the Overalls are available in the clothesmate, and the Cook Jorts'
shirt is less crusty.

* Spiders don't automatically grant an antag datum (#77523)
## About The Pull Request
Fixes#77501
Spider egg ghost role spawners grant the spider antag datum, rather than
the act of being a spider.
This means that gold core, mapstart, polymorph belt, and other spiders
will not have an antagonist datum.
While doing this I also made a new abstract `mob/living/basic/spider`
type which all three kinds of spider life stage (`spiderling`, `young`,
`giant`) extend from, because there was a gross amount of copied code.
Now there isn't.
Also the Flesh Spider and Event Midwife eggs now simply hatch adult
spiders instead of child ones.
This is because there is no reason for either of these to have a two
minute wait time before they get going. Midwife spiders spawned by the
event should just start spidering immediately, and Flesh Spiders are
made by changelings and shouldn't be effected by measures introduced to
balance the spider gamemode.
Eggs which are laid during a round and _can_ hatch into midwife spiders
still hatch baby spiders.
Also I swapped some white pixels on the animation of the ambush
spiderling for a different colour because they looked bad.
## Why It's Good For The Game
While the policy is always "if you turn yourself into something, you're
not an antagonist" the presence of the antag datum still confuses
people. Plus that code was gross and I didn't like it.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Giant Spiders only have an antag datum if created by the round
event.
balance: Flesh spider eggs hatch into adult spiders instead of baby
spiders.
balance: The eggs spawned by the start of the spider infestation event
hatch into adult Midwife spiders instead of baby ones.

* Spider Evolution - Young Spiders [Ready] (#76692)
## About The Pull Request
This pr adds a young spiders that appear between spiderlings and adult
spiders. Now spiders have a stage where they are squishy but can also
spin webs and do some other things early depending on the spider type.
Spiderling stage takes 40 seconds and young spider stage take 1 minute,
ealier for spiderling this was 1 minute. Also adds a new wizard spider
sprite and makes the spider form usable.
Gives Wizard Spider version has better immunity against fire since it
can kill a wizard very fast it they are not paying attention.
Makes tangle spider get more health but makes the self-healing worse.
This is done because spider is a team antag except for the flesh
(changeling spider), making it so solo-playing as tangle is less
encouraged.
Scout spiderling gets thermal vision also. It cannot communicate, but it
can already start scouting now.
Viper deals bonus damage when an enemy is on low health. Toxins don't
kill humans anymore, and since the viper spider only deals 5 damage now
it deals more so it can actually take down enemies at low health. They
also have a little more health since they always die very fast. Viper
can also change between a defensive/slow mode with more armor or a
offensive/speed mode with less armor.
Nurse spider heals for 25 instead of 20, since 25 is one laser shot, it
makes more sense for the nurse spider to be able to heal that amount.
Flesh spider grows faster since they are a solo antag and spawn killing
isn't cool.
Tarantula spider can now tear down walls by clicking them instead of
needing to use their charge attack. They can also build wall webs and
passage webs. Their damage coeffs also got the regular burn factor for
spider so their health also increased a bit.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Now there is a smooth transition between the tiny spiderling and the
bigger spider stage. This will promote people to help the hive at an
earlier stage while not being too powerful yet. It is also realistic and
adds extra flavor to the spider antag. The other balance changes are
improvements to the game.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Young Spiders that appear between spiderlings and adult spiders.
balance: Wizard Spider version has better immunity against temp damage
and can lay webs faster.
balance: Tangle Spider sucks more with self-healing but has more health.
balance: Scout spiderling gets thermal vision.
balance: Viper deals bonus damage when an enemy is below 20% health.

* Goliath basic mob (#76754)
## About The Pull Request
Converts Goliaths to the basic mob framework and gives them some new
moves because I can't leave things well enough alone.
I am planning on touching all the lavaland fauna and then maybe even the
icebox ones if I haven't got bored. The Golaith is the first because it
is iconic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNcKvMwT4-Q
Here's me getting killed by one as a demonstration. Despite my poor
performance I would contend that they aren't a _lot_ more dangerous, but
they are a little more dangerous.
The chief difference here is that they have two new attacks which they
will only use in response to being attacked.
If fired at from range, they will target the attacker with a line of
tentacles (it doesn't track you, so is easily sidestepped).
If attacked in melee, they will surround _themselves_ with tentacles, on
a longer cooldown.
Something else you may notice in this video: I discovered that basic
mobs are actually _too smart_ to be Lavaland fauna.
Typically (unlike their old form) a mob on our new AI system is smart
enough to attack someone _the moment they come into range_ rather than
only checking on predictable ticks, which would make using the Crusher
an essentially unviable prospect.
To counteract this, Goliaths now have a delayed attack component which
gives you a visual warning and short duration to get out of range before
they swing at you. I will probably put this on all mining fauna that get
reworked, it wouldn't be a terrible thing to put on other mobs to be
honest.
Other changes: The goliath stun is now a status effect with _buckles_
you to the tentacle as if grabbed, as well as its previous effects.
While this seems purely worse, any nearby helpers can now help-click on
you to instantly remove the debuff.
Experiencing the effect of a Lobstrosity Rush Gland makes you immune to
being grabbed by tentacles and an implanted one will automatically
trigger and free you if you are hit, and the explosive effect of
Brimdust also causes the tentacle to retract (although you'd need to
take damage for this to happen). Using the tools of the land, you can
make these creatures less threatening.
The ability for a Goliath to chain-apply the ability has now also been
reduced, it won't refresh its duration if you are hit when already
buckled.
When not occupied hounding miners, Goliaths will intermittently dig up
the asteroid sand and eat any worms that this produces.
I also made some new sprites for riding a Goliath because they've been
broken since the Lavaland mob update and also kind of were ugly before
then anyway:
Other code changes:
- I made an element which only lets an attached object move every x
seconds. This is because Goliaths are far too slow to use the speed
system (the glide just looks bugged as hell) but one thing I am invested
in when converting these is to make sure that they share the same
behaviour when player or AI controlled. This is disabled while you're
riding them because it was interminably slow.
- The Goliath tentacle trail uses a supertype object now shared with the
Meteor Heart which did something kind of similar.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It begins the process of moving one of our larger subsets of NPCs onto
the newer framework for NPC behaviour.
It adds a little bit more life to an iconic but slightly uninteresting
foe which mostly just walked at you slowly.
This PR contains a few components I expect to apply more widely to other
mobs in the future.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Goliaths now use the Basic Mob framework, please report any
unusual behaviour.
add: Goliaths learned a couple of new attacks which they will use in
self-defence.
balance: Help-clicking a miner grabbed by Goliath tentacles will
immediately free them, as will the effect of several items you can
scavenge from around Lavaland.
image: New sprites for the Goliath saddle.

Various spider fixes (#76528)
## About The Pull Request
Fixes#76484
Then I noticed some weird stuff which slipped through the PR and poked
at that too.
- Spiderlings and Spiders once more have names ending in (###)
- Removed an unused property on Spiderlings.
- Rewrote the descriptions for a bunch of web-abilities and web-objects
to be clearer and have better capitalisation.
- Refactored the "Web Carcass" ability to not extend from "lay web" as
it didn't need to perform most of that behaviour.
- Also I renamed it and made the description give you a hint about why
you would want to instantly spawn a statue.
- The web effigy now despawns at the same rate as the ability cools down
so you're not dumping spider statues all over the place.
- I made spiderlings move at about the same speed as humans except if
they're on webs in which case they're still pretty fast.
To be honest I am not certain an instant statue spawning button is great
to begin with and I didn't even know it was added to the game but I am
not interested in messing much with the balance for now.
This made me look at spiderlings enough that I'm going to try and make a
new sprite for them that isn't awful.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Lets you differentiate individual spiders a little bit.
Makes usage of abilities clearer.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Guard spider web statues despawn as the ability comes back off
cooldown.
balance: Spiderlings now only move at light speed if they're on webs,
stay safe little guys.
fix: Spiders once again have random numbers after their names.

* Gives Fugitive Hunters credible IDs, access restricts the hunter shuttles, minor hunter shuttle improvements (#75913)
## About The Pull Request
This standardizes fugitive hunter IDs, making all hunter packs use the
same subtype and giving them to hunters who would spawn with no ID at
all.
The badass flaming ID color that the OG Bounty Hunter team got are now
the standard for fugitive hunter IDs. Additionally, these IDs now come
with a radical skull trim.
(Spacepol Officers don't get the badass flaming skull ID, and instead
get a more modest Police Officer ID).
**These IDs come with access, too. Airlocks, bolt buttons, shuttle
controls, and shutters on all of the hunter shuttles now require a
hunter's ID to operate.**
While I was in the area doing mapping stuff to get the accesses in
place, I made a few other very minor changes to the shuttles. These
include:
- The Bounty Hunter shuttle now has an oxygen dispenser. Two walls have
been moved to make space.
- The Russian Hunter shuttle now gets enough oxygen tanks to share with
everyone.
- The Psyker Hunter spawners now have proper spawner menu text. This was
due to duplicate-but-not-really subtypes existing, and me mistakenly
putting the wrong ones there in a previous PR.
- The cut ai wire helpers from the Russian/Psyker shuttles have been
extended to the Bounty/Spacepol shuttles.
- Every hunter shuttle now has a shuttle pinpointer on it somewhere, and
is no longer exclusive to a single Bounty Hunter's loadout.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Some of the hunter IDs would spawn without trims or coloration, and some
hunters wouldn't spawn with IDs at all. Now, everyone gets a credible,
cool-looking ID that lets everyone know what you're here to do at a
glance.
One of these is a crazed larper with an unregistered firearm, the other
is a certified bounty hunter.
As for the hunter access, it's pretty nonsensical that anyone can just
walk into the hunter ship and set up shop. At least the pirates get
turrets! Not to mention, it's hard to balance or give hunters new
equipment in good conscience when their entire domain is public-access
and anything they can't carry is considered forfeit to the crew. Now it
can be used as a base of operations, storage area, etc. more securely.
Locking down the shuttle with accesses isn't going to stop a determined
gamer with a toolset, but it'll at least make it more interesting and an
actual risk. If the fugitives want to try and loot/hijack the shuttle,
it will require the effort of taking down one of their hunters first.
While hunters stand out for the differences/imbalances between each
group, I don't see the shuttle pinpointer as something that contributes
positively to the OG bounty hunter's uniqueness. There's no reason why
the other hunters shouldn't also be able to track their ship.

## About The Pull Request
This adds ghost orbit popups for the following:

- HFR Meltdowns.
- Living players about to be gored by an emagged organ harvester.
- Nuclear devices being armed.

* Fugitive hunters gather candidates with a deadchat poll (#75485)
## About The Pull Request
Fugitive Hunter spawning now works a lot more like it does for Pirates.
Rather than just using the spawners, it collects candidates from a ghost
poll, and leaves the remaining spawners to be used if any are left.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The only way this event gathered candidates was through the
notify_ghosts that hunter spawners threw on Initialize(). This easily
flies under the radar (and I think also stopped working after
lazyloading was implemented??), contributing to how infrequently hunter
rolls are taken.
The hunters are an important part of fugitives as a whole, so making
sure they're properly filled out is good.
Closes#74625.

* Replaces the syndicate corpse Legions can drop with one without a MODSuit (#75700)
## About The Pull Request
This is part of a pass I'm working on doing where I go through and
remove instances of antag gear outside of their normal context. This is
mostly going to involve replacing space/Lavaland ruin gear with
something close to the same power level but not distinctly something
only antags should be able to get. I want to keep ruins rewarding but I
don't want explicit antag gear to be something you can obtain without
needing an uplink.
The first part of this is me removing the MODSuit from the syndicate
operative corpse. The new one drops a turtleneck, a syndicate gas mask,
and gripper gloves.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's my opinion that antag gear should probably stay in antag hands
unless you manage to kill one or steal an uplink. The main impetus for
this was a discussion I had a while back about how blood red hardsuits
used to _just_ be an antag thing. I kind of miss that general feeling of
paranoia that came from seeing someone wearing it, as opposed to seeing
it these days and just thinking "Yeah, it's probably someone who got it
from space".
In this specific instance, Syndicate MODSuits are pretty strong anyway
and, regardless of the low odds of getting one, I really don't think it
should be available as loot off a fairly easy-to-kill mob.

* Frees free golems (#75249)
## About The Pull Request
The autolathe free golem shells created on the free golem ruin now
create free golems rather than servant golems.
On the backend, this was done by delegating the responsbility for what
to do with the "owner" to the spawned subtype.
Now the three golem ghost spawners are:
- Default, which creates a normal free golem.
- Adamantine, the "leaders" on the free golem ruin, who get special
vocal cords.
- Servant, which enslaves itself to whoever finished building the shell.
Previously the servant subtype did not do anything at all, but now it
holds all of the relevant behaviour and the other two simply don't care
who their creator was.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes item does what it was supposed to, not sure how long it has been
broken but it has been a while.
Makes raiding free golem ruin for autolathe design create free rather
than loyal golems, which could backfire.
Free golems constructed in the ruin by other free golems are no longer
forced into a hierarchy, which can be a good or bad thing depending on
the temperament of whoever made them but might reduce the incidence of
one guy ordering everyone else to tide cargo.

* Demotes Psyker Pirates to Bounty Hunter Duty (#75031)
This PR demotes the Psyker-gang from a pirate team to a fugitive hunting
team. For more information on Psyker pirates, please refer to #71650.
Stuff this also does in the process:
- Gives fugitive hunters their own subfolder in the fugitives antagonist
folder, moves some of their stuff into hunter-specific files rather than
interlacing it with the rest of the fugitive code.
- Moves the hunter backstories to defines, to make reading things easier
while I made this change.
- Exhaustively moves everything related to psykers from being
pirate-oriented to hunter-oriented (typepaths, locations where stuff is
defined, etc. There should be nothing left behind related to psykers in
anything pirate related). (Tell me if I missed anything somehow).
They still get their ship (they even get their own custom
psyker-friendly prisoner capsule). They still have a bunch of lethally
chambered firearms. They're the same gunrunning nutcases they were
before, just as bounty hunters.
To assist with basic tasks such as "getting to the station" or "figuring
out who the fuck we're supposed to be kidnapping", the psykers have
"acquired" a Seer to assist them. They can _try_ to coordinate the
psykers and lead them through situations where their impairments put
them at too great a disadvantage. If you're one of the psykers, make
sure to keep this guy alive at all costs!
Why are they called Shikaris instead of hunters? Mariam-Webster says
it's a Hindi word for some kind of hunter/tracker, and it sounded like
something a bunch of space-junkies would call themselves because they
think it sounds cool.
They now also come with a slightly different motivation, now that they
can't directly threaten the crew for money. Psyker hunters now arrive
tasked with a dirty kidnapping job, payment rendered in GORE.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Psykers aren't up to the challenge of being pirates. They're bogged down
by a number of fundamental issues that render them unable to do anything
expected of pirates. As it currently stands, they present about as much
threat as you would expect from three blind junkies with guns.
Removing them wholesale would be kind of lame. They can function as a
bunch of chaotic-neutral gun-toting space-maniacs, but for the purposes
of gameplay, keeping them as pirates would be a waste of their talents.
Moving them to a lower-stakes role not only moves them to a niche they
are more capable of filling, but gives players a more lax environment to
get a grip on playing psyker without being overwhelmed.
Giving them a seeing-eye role should bring a more unique dynamic to how
psykers are played (that is, some semblance of organization rather than
blind flailing), and should help get over the mechanical hurdles of
being a psyker until better solutions can be made. It shouldn't be too
big of an impact on balance considering the psyker gang only has three
spawns, while most hunter packs have 4+.

A mob being enslaved to another is now logged in game logs. This hits
sentience potions, guardians, and Golems. This helps admins know through
logs who made/used what.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I was told that it's pretty hard to tell who made Golems because this
type of info isn't logged, so you can't check it post-round. This should
help admins with that.
## Changelog
