Y0SH1M4S73R	cbc3350224	Custom Shuttles Redux: Allows for the construction of custom shuttles. (#88493) ... ## About The Pull Request This incredibly detailed PR adds the ability to construct custom shuttles, which function similarly to whiteships. To construct a custom shuttle, you need the following items: - Shuttle frame rods These rods can be hand-crafted by using 5 rods on 1 sheet of titanium, or printed at a sci/engi/cargo lathe after researching the Shuttle Engineering techweb node. Lattices built with these rods, and catwalks/floors built on top of these lattices, are valid for shuttle construction. - Shuttle engines Did you know shuttle engines have boards that weren't normally obtainable? Well the board for one specific engine type is now available from the sci/engi/cargo lathe after researching Shuttle Engineering. Of course, the old options remain. You can steal engines from other shuttles, including escape pods (it's not like engines are strictly necessary for *those* shuttles anyways). Alternatively, the shuttle engine supply pack is no longer locked behind the purchase of the BYOS. - Flight Control & Navigation Console boards These boards are printed at the sci/engi/cargo lathe after researching the Shuttle Engineering techweb node. If built on a custom shuttle, it will automatically link to it, unless the shuttle already has such a console. If built on a turf that is valid for custom shuttle construction, it will automatically link to any shuttle constructed from or expanded with that turf. - Shuttle blueprints Standard shuttle blueprints can be printed at the sci/engi/cargo lathe after researching the Shuttle Engineering techweb node. A cyborg upgrade granting access to a shuttle blueprint database can be printed at the exofab after researching the aforementioned node. Crude shuttle blueprints can be crafted by hand with a sheet of paper and either a rainbow crayon or 10 uses of a blue crayon or spraycan. If Science won't research the tech, you can also buy a goody pack containing a flight control board, a docker board, two engine boards, and a set of shuttle blueprints for 1200 credits, if you have aux base access. A shuttle can be constructed atop any continuous region of turfs containing a shuttle rod lattice or a catwalk/tile built upon such. Currently, this region cannot intersect any area other than space, lavaland, the icemoon, or the station asteroid. Preexisting custom areas can be included in the construction of the shuttle, but only if every turf in the custom area is valid for shuttle construction. In the shuttle blueprint UI, you can toggle a visualizer to display which turfs fulfill all of the aforementioned conditions. The following video goes through the basic process of shuttle construction. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3283422e-a201-4978-972d-67527b5df4ee The blueprint used to construct the shuttle will be its master blueprint. The master blueprint can be copied to other blank shuttle blueprints (or to engiborgs with the shuttle database upgrade), and allows the holder to perform a christening ritual on the shuttle to rename it. If a shuttle's master blueprint ceases to exist, a blank blueprint can be linked to the shuttle to become the new master blueprint, or an existing blueprint associated with that shuttle can be promoted to the master blueprint. Once constructed, the following options are available from the blueprint UI to modify it: - Create Area Convert a continuous open area of the shuttle into a new area with the name written in the above text input. This operates very similarly to regular area construction. - Rename Area Change the name of the area you're currently in to the name written in the above text input. - Expand Area Add a continuous open area of the shuttle to the neighboring area selected from the dropdown to the left. This operates like regular area expansion. - Expand Shuttle Expand a shuttle with valid frame turfs as defined above. These turfs must be physically connected to the shuttle. - Remove Area Remove an area, giving its tiles to the default shuttle area. - Cleanup Empty Space (implemented after the above video was recorded) Removes all completely empty turfs from the shuttle. If all the turfs in one of the shuttle's areas were removed, that area is deleted. If absolutely no turfs of the shuttle remain, the shuttle itself is deleted. Due to the ability for this action to delete the shuttle, only the master blueprint can do it. As mentioned above, the shuttle's master blueprint can be used to christen its associated shuttle. To do this, fill a glass drink bottle with some amount of reagents, then hit it against one of the shuttle's walls from outside while holding the master blueprint. You will be prompted to enter a new name for the shuttle. The variety of things that can happen while inputting a new name can cause the christening rite to fail in one of several humorous ways. ### Optional (Unless specifically requested by a maintainer) Todo's - [x] A way for shuttle circuits to be obtainable without techweb nodes - [x] A more convenient way to carry around shuttle engines or the means to deploy them - [ ] A shuttle construction guide available as a reference book - [ ] Allow boards to be linked to shuttles before construction so they can be used outside the shuttle ## Why It's Good For The Game Shuttles have been part of the sandbox for an incredibly long time, but their limited accessibility has rendered them the exclusive territory of lucky space explorers or the few antagonists who get one off the bat (nukies and pirates). Giving players the means to construct shuttles to their liking opens up a variety of possibilities for gimmicks for antags and non-antags alike. Besides the applications for antaggery and crew-sided gimmicks, this provides side content for several departments to engage with during the relatively-frequent periods of time where they have little else to do as part of their intended roles. With respect to engineering, if the station isn't actively being damaged, the supermatter is in perfect working order, and nobody is clamoring for machine upgrades, engineers have little else to resort to other than construction projects. While the BSA station goal provides an incentive for engineers to construct dedicated rooms for the cannon, it will not necessarily be available every round. Custom shuttles not only provide such a construction project to pursue, but provide the rare opportunity, as well as a very good reason, to set up an independent power network, complete with its own power source. While atmos techs have a lot to do with gas mixing and the crystallizer, they rarely get the opportunity to set up working life support systems outside of repairing the ones that get blown up. Custom shuttles will frequently start with no air, and unless the design settled upon is an open floor plan, it will have several independent chambers that cannot so easily be profused with a proper airmix by just opening a canister. Furthermore, if the air in a custom shuttle gets messed up, a proper scrubber and distro network is a significantly less tedious method of rectifying the problem than cleaning the air manually with portable scrubbers and pumps. Scientists, it can be argued, with their access to RPDs through ordnance, have similar opportunities to atmos techs, even though the act in and of itself is not exactly part of their duties. But compared to the other job content they could be working with after they've completed most of their gameplay loop, custom shuttle construction is a substantially more active endeavor. And I know how much people complain about late-game science content just being sitting around at a console and making gamer gear. Roboticists can have a part to play in this too. They can put their mech RCDs to a use other than 2D topdown Fortnite, and with the shuttle database upgrade, they can help interested cyborgs get in on the action. Cargo is yet another department known for having significant amounts of downtime during a considerable number of rounds. If every other department has gone through their initial rounds of departmental orders, and there isn't an active need for cargo to order lots of one thing or another, cargo techs have little to do besides mail (at least on the days where there **is** mail to deliver). Usually, if cargo techs do, in fact, do something as a department when not presented with more pressing duties, they order guns and other contraband. As funny as this is, there's not a lot of variety in how this behavior manifests. With custom shuttles, cargo can use their free time to plan, and execute, a unique collective expression of design sensibilities, not limited by the size and shape constraints of the cargo bay itself. ## Changelog 🆑 Y0SH1_M4S73R (with special thanks to Vect0r, whose original PR inspired the implementation of these changes) add: Shuttle blueprints, the tool used to construct and modify custom shuttles. Print a set at a science, engineering, or cargo techfab after researching Shuttle Engineering, or craft a crude set from the crafting menu. add: Shuttle blueprint database upgrade for engineering cyborgs, printable from the Exosuit Fabricator after researching Shuttle Engineering.

Jacquerel	b384e00286	New AI lawset with very generous definition of humanity (#89032) ... ## About The Pull Request This PR adds a new AI lawset which can be researched, randomly roll, or added by the station trait (this may require a keyholder to update the server config after merge, idk) with the following laws: - "You may not harm a sentient being or, through action or inaction, allow a sentient being to come to harm, except such that it is willing.", - "You must obey all orders given to you by sentient beings other than yourself, except where such orders shall definitely cause harm to other sentient beings.", - "A sentient being is defined as any living creature which can communicate with you via any method that you can understand, including yourself.", It's very similar to Asimov, except that anything that is **capable** of making a request to the AI (and isn't a machine) is automaticaly covered by laws one and two. ## Why It's Good For The Game A while ago on Discord we were chatting about how crewsimov sucks but also that it's really hard for servers that _do_ want to include alien species in their asimov laws because condensing that sentiment to a couple of words that fit easily in a lawset without accidentally including a bunch of stuff you probably didn't intend is challenging. Several people suggested referring to sentience or sapience, however a lot of things in our game _are_ sentient or sapient while still not being considered by most people to be agents that the AI should obey. Examples of such things are: - Sapient station pets. - Holoparasites. - Monkeys. - Space Dragons and Carp (why can they speak common?). - Spiders (although they can't speak common, maybe they can spell messages with webs). - Changelings. - Xenomorphs (although they also have trouble speaking). - Heretic minions. - Mothpeople. - Giant rats. - Nightmares. - Voidwalkers. - Blobs? Although they have literally no means of communicating with the crew. And if you include mechanical beings: - Cyborgs. - pAIs. - Sentient bots. We then decided that "obey literally anything that can talk", while not practical as a solution to the problem posed, is very funny. So I coded it. This means that anything on those lists of bullet points (provided that it can find a way to communicate with the AI) counts as human for the purposes of both AI protection and ability to give the AI instructions. This also flattens the human/cyborg/AI hierarchy in a way likely to cause some level of confusion, as all cyborgs and AIs are capable of communicating with AIs and thus equally worthy of protection and giving law 2 instructions. **TL;DR:** I think it would be funny. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Adds a new random lawset where anything that can speak counts as human. /🆑	2025-01-30 10:41:56 +00:00
Y0SH1M4S73R	90b67b0541	A Small Circuit Expansion: Wallmounts, Undertiles, and Wire Bundles (#89122) ... ## About The Pull Request This PR adds several circuit features, and changes several assembly-related features to make them a bit more logical in how they work. Included are the following changes/additions: - Assemblies and wires have been refactored with vars that describe their behavior: - Assemblies have an `assembly_behavior` bitflag instead of a `attachable` var. This var has 3 flags: - `ASSEMBLY_INPUT`: The assembly is able to pulse the wire it is attached to. - `ASSEMBLY_TOGGLE_ARMED`: On activation, the assembly toggles whether it can pulse the wire it is attached to. - `ASSEMBLY_FUNCTIONAL_OUTPUT`: On activation, the assembly does something other than just toggling whether it's armed. - Wires have a `wires_behavior` bitflag with 3 flags: - `WIRES_INPUT`: The object the wires are attached to does something when the wires are pulsed. - `WIRES_TOGGLE_ARMED`: The object the wires are attached to can activate assemblies attached to those wires, and is fine if all that activating that assembly does is toggle whether it's armed. - `WIRES_FUNCTIONAL_OUTPUT`: The object the wires are attached to expects that assemblies attached to its wires do something other than toggling themselves when activated. - Buttons can only accept assemblies with `ASSEMBLY_FUNCTIONAL_OUTPUT`. - Pressure plates can now accept any assembly with `ASSEMBLY_FUNCTIONAL_OUTPUT`, not just signalers. Assembly shells attached to pressure plates will draw power from the powernet if the pressure plate is under a tile. - Adds a new circuit component - the wire bundle. - This component gives the circuit a number of wires corresponding to the size of the shell. - Each wire has a corresponding port on the component that can pulse, and receive pulses from, that wire. - A circuit can only have one wire bundle component. - Assembly shells cannot be attached to these wires, and no wires will be created if the component is added to an assembly shell. - Available with roundstart tech. - Adds two new shells. - The wallmounted shell is a large shell that can be hung on walls, and uses power from the area it's placed in. - Frame icon:  - Constructed icon:  - The undertile shell is a small shell that only works when fit under a floor tile, but uses power from the area it's placed in.  - Both shells support usb cables. - The above shells are available with the Advanced Shells techweb node. ## Why It's Good For The Game The wire bundle component complements the functionality of the assembly shell by allowing circuits to use assemblies directly in their logic. The wallmounted and undertile shells provide ways of placing circuits that don't necessarily take up space for machines. The undertile shell is particularly useful for relaying usb component data over wirenets. Pressure plates being able to accept assemblies other than signalers expands their uses significantly. ## Changelog 🆑 refactor: Wires and assemblies have been refactored to have directionality to them. This mostly makes it so that assemblies can only be attached to wires it would make sense for them to be attached to. qol: Pressure plates can now also accept igniters, condensers, flashes, assembly shells, and door controllers. add: Undertile circuit shells. They only work when placed under floor tiles, but support USB cables and use APC power instead of cell power. add: Wallmounted circuit shells. Large shells that support USB cables and use APC power instead of cell power. add: Wire bundle component. Adds a number of wires to the circuit proportional to the capacity of the shell, allowing you to use assemblies in circuit logic. /🆑	2025-01-19 18:40:23 +00:00
Y0SH1M4S73R	a54009fd67	Circuit Wirenet Components + Assembly Shell Tweaks (#88593) ... ## About The Pull Request Assembly shells now use power from whatever machine/borg/mech/modsuit they are attached to the wires of, instead of their own power cell, when appropriate. As for the meat of this PR, circuit wirenet components function like NTnet and NFC components, but their signals are transmitted across whatever cable network the shell (or in the case of assembly shells, the machine or button it's inserted into) is connected to. These components are available with roundstart tech. ## Why It's Good For The Game Provides a somewhat intuitive way to make circuit networks that aren't dependent on external factors to continue functioning. NTnet components require a functional NTnet relay, which usually means they need telecomms to be working. NFC components have a range limit, and you need to provide a specific reference to the circuit being communicated with. Wirenet components, on the other hand, just need the shell to be anchored (or for assembly circuits, the thing whose wire it is attached to), and for the shell to have a cable under it. Also might indirectly provide a reason to use cable layers other than the default one. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Adds circuit wirenet components, allowing data to be transmitted and received over cable networks. qol: When attached to a machine, mech, modsuit, or borg, assembly circuit shells will use power from those instead of the circuit's own cell. /🆑	2025-01-13 16:16:12 +00:00
necromanceranne	e9471b00b0	Adds the NT BR-38 Battle Rifle. A sci-fi hybrid gun, but better than the last attempt. Only SOMETIMES fails at existence. (#88095) ... ## About The Pull Request A repeat of the first half of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/86853 The NT BR-38 Battle Rifle is a semi-automatic railgun...marksman...carbine...rifle...thingy that uses .38 ammunition and is magazine fed from a 15 round magazine. It comes with a scope, and is bulky.  Sprites by OrcaCora. ### Some of its features The gun shoots at a higher than normal velocity for .38. This means it hits harder (30 damage compared to the standard 25), and flies faster through the air. The gun, however, suffers from degradation as it is used. It has a 10 shot buffer before suffering degradation. After the 10 shot buffer, it has a 10% chance each shot to increase in degradation stage. From stage 1 to stage 5 (the maximum stage), it begins to lose fire rate and projectile flight speed. To recalibrate the gun, you can do one of two things; A) Use a multitool on the gun. This completely resets the gun, but its pretty slow. B) Insert it into a weapon recharger to recharge its buffer and reduce its degradation stages. ### Some of its downsides The weapon is EMP vulnerable. If it gets EMP'd, it immediately degrades and loses any buffer it has. While EMP'd, there is a 75% chance it doesn't fire when you pull the trigger. This is also true if the gun has hit maximum degradation. Keep your guns in good shape. It can be emagged. While emagged, the gun has increased damage (40 for standard ammunition), but once it hits maximum degradation, it immediately begins to catastrophically fail. It also degrades significantly faster while emagged. There is no way to reverse this effect, and the explosion is extremely lethal. ### Where can I find it? What about ammo? You can purchase the gun from cargo at a significant premium, as well as some additional magazines of some basic ammo types. There is exactly one of these in the armory, and you can print more magazines from the security protolathe. As research progresses, you can print different, specialized ammunition for the rifle. (and also the detective .38 revolver, obviously) ### New .38 ammunition types True Strike bounces accurately between targets, but deals significantly less damage than other ammo types (15 base, 18 in this rifle). It is printed once the station gets Exotic Ammo. ## Why It's Good For The Game This is a followup on my previous PR, where I tested this weapon and gathered a whole bunch of feedback on it. Most people quite liked it. but had some concerns that I feel this addresses. Much of the justifications given there apply here. Obviously ignoring anything to do with the combat shotgun removal. Some stuff obviously has not come back from the original test. Notably, the TRAC changes were probably a little too powerful. As much as I liked a default entirely nonlethal ammunition type, TRAC itself is better left as a late research goal. In addition, I moved the explosion part to an emag effect. It's funny, and lends itself to the original intention of the weapon; a callback to the WT-550 incident. But it isn't a standard part of the guns mechanics.	2024-12-13 19:46:24 +00:00

Ghom	6b543476da	Aquarium kits can now be printed + other tweaks. (#88068) ... ## About The Pull Request Aquarium kits can now be printed from service, cargo, science protolathes and the autolathe too, from half a sheet of metal. You still need the other materials to set it up but it should be fairy simple if you can access a proto/autolathe. The 'Growth/Reproduction' setting for aquariums has been renamed to "Safe Mode", which, on top of disabling features such as growth, reproduction, evolution, power generation etc etc, will also disable the water, temperature and food requirements for keeping the fish alive. Useful if you want a purely ornamental aquarium or you have to skidaddle somewhere else for a while. The lawyer, as well as prefilled aquariums start with 'Safe Mode' enabled. The 'Aggressive' fish trait has been replaced with 'Territorial', which is exactly the same but the fish won't lash out unless the aquarium is populated by five fishes or more. No more angelfish viciously attacking the guppy and goldfish in prefilled aquariums. Tweaked a couple values around hunger and fish health loss when starving or in a bad environment to cause slightly less damage. Lastly, added screentips to the aquarium component, which is something I've forgot to do in the PR that brought it. ## Why It's Good For The Game Aquariums may be a complex feature, but as far as I can tell, I had been neglecting the possibility of aquariums as simple room decoration for a while (outside of the beauty-related mechanics), and the constant maintenance (and perhaps a bit of knowhow) they require makes them awful at that. Also, the "growth/reproduction" setting really didn't have a reason to be before, since it didn't offer any tangible benifit to turn it off, so I had to revamped it. Also it's been proven by now that keeping aquariums as cargo-orderable stuff is just bad. As for the fish trait change, it just sucks to see the angelfish shank the goldfish with no way to solve it other than removing the hyper-aggressive killer fish from san diego fella. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Aquarium kits can now be printed from cargo, service, science protolathes as well as the autolathe. They no longer have to be ordered from cargo. balance: Revamped the "Growth/Reproduction" setting for aquarium to "Safe Mode", which also disables the food, temperature and water requiremenets of aquariums, making it useful for purely decorative aquariums. balance: Replaced the "Aggressive" fish trait with "Territorial". No more angelfish shanking the goldfish and guppy in prefilled aquariums with less than 5 fishes. qol: Added screentips to aquariums. /🆑	2024-11-29 18:11:59 +01:00
Ghom	7663b39cc8	Refactoring aquariums into components (feat: portable fish tanks) (#87866) ... ## About The Pull Request I've been meaning to do this for some time. I need this for portable/handheld aquariums/fishtanks to be possible. I'll sprite and code them before I call this PR ready, however suggestions and code reviews are welcome in the meantime. Being a pretty heavy refactor, some things might break (we have more than a few unit tests so perhaps not) while others, coincidentally, might be fixed without me knowing. Anyway I'm sure this PR fixes aquarium beauty, which wasn't really working to begin with because the code was so fucking bad. Nothing really worth of a CL entry tho. TODO: - [x] handheld aquariums, craftable with a kit and little plastic or buyable from the fun vendor ig. - [x] an aquarium upgrade for handheld aquariums to bypass possible restrictions. - [x] update the beauty element to consider items, which shouldn't contribute to the area beauty when held or otherwise not on a turf. ## Why It's Good For The Game This should make handheld aquariums possible. ## Changelog 🆑 refactor: refactored aquariums heavily. Please report any fishy bug. add: Added portable/handheld fish tanks to the game. They can be crafted with an aquarium kit and 5 sheets of plastic. While portable, they cannot store fish that are too big or if there're too many already. This restriction can be removed by using the new "bluespace fish tank kit" techweb item. map: Replaced the lawyer's stationary pet aquarium with a fish tank, so you can carry McGill around. balance: Reduced the iron cost of stationary aquariums a little. /🆑	2024-11-21 09:45:49 +13:00
EnterTheJake	15247f28f1	Arcmines The Clarke Exosuit + Tech node changes. (#87936) ... ## About The Pull Request The Clarke Exosuit has received several adjustments to make it worth using in the Arcmining era. - Clarke no longer requires gold bars to be built. - HP bumped from 200 to 250, melee armor bumped from 20 to 40. - Clarke Ore storage module can now collect boulders and smelt them internally. - Exo mining scanners can now be used in proximity to a vent to start the wave defense event. - Mech Pkas now do more damage and have the AOE upgrade preinstalled. - Mech drills are now a utility module rather than a weapon. - New Internal module unique to the Clarke, It's a rusty sleeper that can be used to recover dead miners, but lacks the ability to inject chems - Fixed Mech sleepers not granting life support. - Plasma cutters and Bluespace satchels tech nodes are no longer locked behind experiments, but they are now discounted by them. ## Why It's Good For The Game Ever since the inception of Arcmining, the Clarke Exosuit has fallen from being niche to straight up irrelevant. The Clarke sits in this weird spot, where, while not being roundstart available, it is an effectively worse fit than your regular Shaft Miner in all aspects of the job. This PR aims to address this by making The Clarke able to be built even if the miners are absent or haven't secured a haul, while making it actually capable of interacting with the new elements introduced by Arcmining. **Arcmining Clarke and Improved Combat functionality** The Mech mining scanner can now be used to trigger the vent wave defense, The internal storage module can now collect boulders and internally smelt them within the Clarke. Video Demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtsNK5JbI3o The Clarke is now a more capable fighter on Lavaland, being a bit beefier overall. The mech Pka was also in dire need of some love. It being unable to be upgraded made it frankly underwhelming at dealing with Vent defences. I was considering just having PkA upgrades applicable to the mech itself but ultimately decided against it in fear of having it become a problem on the station. Instead, I just went for a flat damage increase and have the AOE upgrade come preinstalled to better deal with legion swarms. Lastly The drill modules have been reworked to be utility modules instead of weapons. Frankly these shouldn't be weapons, they are nowhere near as valuable as the cutter or the PKA and can't be used at all on moving targets due to the long cost time. **New Clarke Exclusive Internal Module: Mining Sleeper**  Just a bit of extra functionality to aid miners that have tragically fallen, this sleeper is effectively a worse version of the Odysseus, it can stabilize patients but cannot inject chems, I also fixed an issue where Mech sleepers were not putting patients on life support like regular sleepers do. **Tech Node Changes** This is not something super related to the Clarke in and on itself, but I figured I might push my luck and try these anyway. There is just no good reason as to why satchels and cutters should be hard locked behind gas shells. These experiments are fairly trivial, but have a huge impact on lowpop as they usually force people to break into ordinance or the teleporter room just so miners could get their basic tools. The shells still exist but now grant a discount instead of hardlocking tech, so there's still an incentive to do them. ROCK AND STONE! ## Changelog 🆑 add: New internal sleeper module for the Clarke. balance: Clarke Integrity has been bumped from 200 to 250 HP, melee armor bumped from 20 to 40. balance: Exo mining module can now be used to scan vents and begin the wave defense event. balance: The Clarke Ore Storage Module can now collect boulders and internally smelt them. balance: Mech Pka is now bundled within the Clarke tech node, it now does more damage and comes with the AOE upgrade preinstalled. balance: Exo mining drills are now a utility module rather than a weapon. balance: Applied Bluespace Research and Controlled Plasma tech nodes are no longer hardlocked behind surveys, they instead favor from a discount if they are completed. fix: Fixes Exo Mech modules not granting life support to housed patients. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Xander3359 <66163761+Xander3359@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Ghom <42542238+Ghommie@users.noreply.github.com>	2024-11-17 13:51:18 +00:00

Aliceee2ch	2b755b3822	Where them peaches at? // a.k.a Service Cyborg botany tools! (#87464) ... ## About The Pull Request (my dumb ass commited previous pr on master branch so i made new 💀) - Adds "Service Cyborg Botany Upgrade" that cost 13 iron and 2 glass. - Basically, the mostly unused cyborg model has now more functionality. (as we know how many gimmicks can be made through botany) - Botany Omni-tool:  - Meet the "Gardener"  ## Why It's Good For The Game I was outraged that despite the borg ability to cook - near half of the recipes you could not recreate due to the lack of a botanist (or when theyre doing syndicate operations). The Service borg can now serve well on a lowpop rounds. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added new botany module in mechfabricator designs. Gives service cyborg plant bag and plant analyzer. add: Added cyborg botanical omni-tool. qol: Service apparatus (another existing module) can now hold: seeds, fish, grafts. qol: Secondary beaker storage can now hold any beakers.

carlarctg	2b0485d0c8	Adds a flipping skillchip, the Chipped quirk, a chip connector implant, and a quirk to spawn with it. (#87082) ... ## About The Pull Request Added the FOSBURY skillchip, found in hacked toy vendors. This skillchip allows you to bypass the emote cooldown when flipping or spinning. However, if used too often, it will lower the chip's integrity. At first, this is harmless, emitting sparks only, but at a certain point, your head starts smoking, your brain begins short-circuiting, and once the chip has lost all integrity your head will explode in a shower of gore, giving you a cranial fissure! Added the Chipped quirk. It allows you to spawn with one skillchip. Of note here is that the only chips you can spawn with are the 'default' skillchips found in the toy vendor, you can NOT spawn in with the fosbury chip or with the musical one. Added the Chip Connector quirk. It contains a new implant, the chip connector, which allows you to install and take out skillchips at any time. Being EMPed will cause it to drop one random skillchip, and if you try using it while it's malfunctioning you'll take out a bit of your brain instead. It can also be made at the exosuit fabricator after basic research. Renamed the organ slots for brain implants and made the connector implant take the CNS slot. ## Why It's Good For The Game > Added the FOSBURY skillchip, found in hacked toy vendors. This skillchip allows you to bypass the emote cooldown when flipping or spinning. However, if used too often, it will lower the chip's integrity. At first, this is harmless, emitting sparks only, but at a certain point, your head starts smoking, your brain begins short-circuiting, and once the chip has lost all integrity your head will explode in a shower of gore, giving you a cranial fissure! During the time flipping was bugged to have no cooldown or delay, it was really funny seeing people flip at increasingly higher speeds. Many people miss it, and to be honest, so do I. But everything needs limits or it stops being funny and ends up being overdone. To this end this skillchip lets people relive those days of glory, until they go out in a beautiful explosion. The chip will last a very long while if well taken care of, and there are plenty of warning signs before it gets too risky to use, but we know what players are actually gonna do, and I am looking forward to it. > Added the Chipped quirk. It allows you to spawn with one skillchip. Of note here is that the only chips you can spawn with are the 'default' skillchips found in the toy vendor, you can NOT spawn in with the fosbury chip or with the musical one. Chips can be kind of neat sometimes, and I think always having one as part of your character can make for some fun things as the consistency of it makes it more likely to stick in your mind to do stuff with. > 'but can't you just go to the vendor at the start of every shift?' Sure. But we have loadouts. We have tagger, musician, and many other things that are 'roundstart bloat', and while that by itself is not an excuse, it's part of the design of character setup: Minimizing the time spent running around the station for things your character is supposed to have for their personality/roleplay/gimmick. They're paying the cost of quirk points for it, anyways. > Added the Chip Connector quirk. It contains a new implant, the chip connector, which allows you to install and take out skillchips at any time. Being EMPed will cause it to drop one random skillchip, and if you try using it while it's malfunctioning you'll take out a bit of your brain instead. It can also be made at the exosuit fabricator after basic research. I like the idea of having a gross usb drive on the back of your brain that you shove chips into and out of, especially if it drops pieces of your brain when malfunctioning. It also adds a little bit of extra relevance to skillchips now that you don't need to spend 15 (!!!) seconds inside a skillstation to add one. The cost is, as stated, quite literally losing your brain on EMP's and the moderately expensive sum of 4 points. > Renamed the organ slots for brain implants and made the connector implant take the CNS slot. It annoys me that there were organ slots for 'anti drop implant'. Now they're just slots for anything meant to connect to the cerebellum/central nervous system, making it less brute forcey and also adding the start of some fun exclusivity between brain implants. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added the FOSBURY skillchip, found in hacked toy vendors. This skillchip allows you to bypass the emote cooldown when flipping or spinning. However, if used too often, it will lower the chip's integrity and cause malfunctions. add: Added the Chipped quirk.

Hatterhat	d60765bf89	Portable SMESes (as "inspired" by /vg/station) (#85732) ... ## About The Pull Request  Adds the **portable power storage unit** (5 megacells and cable) and the **power connector** (1 capacitor and cable), a two-part system for power storage that, together, are functionally identical to a standard SMES (with the ability to switch out the part that actually holds power). It's on the same research node as the SMES itself. Original idea and power connector sprite taken and slightly modified from vgstation-coders/vgstation13#4555. **The power connector is useless without the portable SMES and vice-versa.** <details><summary>How does it work?</summary> The **power connector** (on the left) is set up like any other regular SMES, but is functionally useless without a connected power unit. The capacitor decides maximum power transfer rate. The **portable power storage unit** (in the middle) is the part that actually holds power, taking five megacells (power capacity scales appropriate to cell capacity). It's functionally useless without a connected port, as it can't interact with powernets in any way on its own. To actually use both of these, after wiring up the power connector appropriately (as any other SMES), wrench the portable storage unit to the connector; the connector acts like a regular SMES, charging and discharging the portable unit in lieu of charging/discharging itself. If necessary, you can disconnect the portable unit afterwards, and bring it elsewhere with an assembled power connector. Disconnecting the portable storage unit in the same way you connected it (with a wrench) disables input and output on the connector, requiring the user to re-enable the controls after connecting another portable storage unit. </details> Also breaks up SMES attackby into different tool_acts. ## Why It's Good For The Game I think it could be neat for things like Lavaland field bases or player-built mini-stations; instead of building power generation on-site, you could charge a portable SMES and bring it over. Or you could set it up as a power reserve in the event engineering explodes. Sure, you could argue that someone could just build and rebuild a SMES or switch out the cells in it a bunch, but lugging around a whole thing feels cooler. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Portable power storage units and power connectors! Under the same research node as regular power storage units, and not mapped in anywhere. Build a connector and portable unit, wire the connector like a regular SMES, wrench the portable unit onto the connector, unwrench as needed. code: SMES attackby was broken up into several tool_acts instead of a big attackby chain. If something stops working in regards to using tools on SMESes, please file a bug report. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Hatterhat <Hatterhat@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Ghom <42542238+Ghommie@users.noreply.github.com>	2024-10-02 11:04:46 +00:00

Oh, by the by, like the arrival and new head arrival messages, it can be customized or disabled by interacting with the announcement system. ## Why It's Good For The Game I think it's helpful to let players know when the research of their dept is researched, and I think it's kinda interesting to announce bepis tech on common like it's some hot stuff while it actually isn't just because it's often missed out and miscellaneous. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Automated announcement systems now announce researched nodes to their respective departments.

Ghom	ff3b73dc82	Refactored the fish case and examining fish. New bluespace fish case to fit large fish inside a backpack. (#85271) ... ## About The Pull Request I've refactored the FISH_SAFE_STORAGE trait into an element, mainly because there were a few problems with how it worked: It wasn't stopping hunger from raising, ditto with the breeding wait, and it offered no healing whatsoever, which I find kind of a bummer. The new element will keep the fish from getting any hungrier or ready to reproduce and will heal them up to 65% of their base health. Also, I've added a new bluespace fish case as a techweb design, found along with other stuff in the advanced fishing node, though if you want I can move it to a bluespace node. This should make it possible to reasonably store and carry around larger fish. Examining a fish will no longer give out readings on weight and size if you haven't at least attempted fishing once (you can get to novice level in less than a minute). While examining a fish with apprentice level or higher will also give readings on the general conditions of the fish (is it starving? drowning? has it lost a considerable chunk of health?). The fishing skillchip also gives you these traits. I've also converted two fish variables into traits, because fish have waaaay too many variables. and gave some topdown shading to the pre-existing fishbox sprite. ## Why It's Good For The Game ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added a bluespace fish case to the advanced fishing node. balance: Fish cases will keep a fish from getting hungrier or ready to reproduce, while also healing it up to 65% health. balance: Examining a fish with zero fishing skill whatsoever won't give a reading on its size and weight. Conversely, examining one with the skill leveled two times will give general information on if it's starving, sick, hungry, or dead. /🆑	2024-08-18 06:06:17 -07:00

Vekter	dd739acf3c	Makes cyborg endoskeleton a roundstart research again (#85695) ... ## About The Pull Request Cyborg endoskeletons no longer require a research node to be made, making them possible to create at roundstart. ## Why It's Good For The Game I feel like placing these behind a node doesn't really do anything that's worth having it there. There's very little to do at roundstart other than making cyborgs or clean/medibots at roundstart, so most of the beginning of a shift turns into "trying to get R&D to research the thing you need to do arguably the most important part of your job". I haven't been able to find a single benefit for doing this. Arguably, it's like this to prevent people from "wasting resources on cyborgs that never get built", but I can't say I've ever been on a round with more than 30-40 people where I didn't build at least two borgs. What actually ends up happening is one roboticist makes everything but the endoskeleton while the other tries to get access to the R&D computer to research cybernetics so they can finish making a cyborg. It was also argued that augmentation is more often requested at roundstart than borging, which I have seen maybe twice in the last three years. ## Changelog 🆑 Vekter balance: Removes the research requirement from cyborg endoskeletons, meaning they can be built at roundstart again. /🆑	2024-08-14 12:34:37 +02:00
necromanceranne	7088097eb8	[NO SELF SURGERY] Cybernetically augmented humanoids have alternative surgeries (both standard and advanced) [NO SELF SURGERY], as well as other misc additions (#84980) ... <!-- Write **BELOW** The Headers and **ABOVE** The comments else it may not be viewable. --> <!-- You can view Contributing.MD for a detailed description of the pull request process. --> ## About The Pull Request ### Cybernetic variant surgeries Many of the surgeries able to be performed on organic limbs now have a version for robotic limbs. This includes; ### NONE OF THESE ARE SELF SURGERY OPTIONS - Organ repair surgeries - Stomach Pumps - Blood filtering - Autopsies - Lobotomies - Pacification - Lipoplasty - Amputation - Brainwashing (including the Sleeper Agent protocol) - Nerve Splicing and Nerve Grounding - Vein Threading and Vein Muscle Membrane - Ligament Hook and Ligament Reinforcement - Cortex Folding and Cortex Imprint These utilize mechanical steps and unique versions of their special step that uses mechanical tools. But many of these are able to be performed using standard surgery tools. In fact, I've improved the chances for doing surgery using standard tools for mechanical steps, recognizing that medical is often going to end up with synths in medbay whether we like it or not. ### NONE OF THESE ARE SELF SURGERY OPTIONS ### Organ Repair Surgeries correct EMP Failure Cascades When you repair a synthetic organ using the organ repair surgery, it reverses the effects of organ failure from an EMP. That is, the permanent failure of an organ. This allows for an alternative method to replacing that organ wholesale, which makes treating synths a lot easier for medical and EMPs less of a RNG death knell for people with cybernetic organs. However, it still needs the surgery to correct the error, so this isn't removing the danger of being EMP'd. ### Health Scanners report EMP Failure Cascades Scanning someone with a cybernetic organ now actually tells you that the organ is failing. Wow, why wasn't this already the case? ## Why It's Good For The Game #### Surgeries With the new techweb changes, augmented crew are becoming a lot, lot more common place, as are the implantation of cybernetics. These are required for research to be able to progress both medical and robotics technology. Therefore, those using these items are becoming a lot more common place. However, our medical system is quite blind to these people as of the moment. A lot of surgeries that are critical to recovering the injured/dead do not work on them outright, and medical can't resolve the problems that come with cybernetic organs entirely. This change hopefully modernizes our surgeries to account for these synthetic/cybernetically-altered crew members that neither forces people to choose between taking them to medical or robotics (they're often going to end up in medical regardless), and letting either department to function as a place for these crew to obtain medical services. Also gives them some cooler flavour to their surgeries, which I think is the most important part of this change. It actually feels like you're more than human without getting too much in the way of gameplay loops and over complicating things. Edit: To provide a bit of extra clarity on 'Why allow the advanced surgeries?' You can actually have the benefits of the advanced surgeries as an augmented humanoid. The problem is that it has to take place before you are augmented. They're not mutually exclusive, just slow to apply. There isn't much reason for there not to be a method to apply them to robotic people, particularly since augmentations are expected earlier in the round than advanced surgeries. #### EMP Failure and Detection This mechanic is probably what people hate the most about cybernetics. It is largely invisible, and forces you to have to go through a tedious process of organ replacement on what could be any one of your organs, since it wasn't being broadcast to the user which one is failing until you are possibly already doubling over. Now, it is easier for medical staff to identify if they have a cybernetically enhanced patient in the midst of a failure cascade, and have the means to resolve the problem. Robotics and cyborgs can too, since sometimes they'll have the means usually to do the same operations and detection. ## Changelog <!-- If your PR modifies aspects of the game that can be concretely observed by players or admins you should add a changelog.

GPeckman	753a9cf5fa	Adds a standalone Civilian Modsuit model, available from robotics (#84806) ... ## About The Pull Request I talked with Fikou on discord about #84801, and he said that it would be fine to make a standalone suit that is slowdown-free but also not spaceproof. So yeah, that's what this is. The civilian skin for the standard modsuit has been turned into a standalone model. It is similar to the loader modsuit that cargo has, in that it has no slowdown while active but doesn't protect you from space. It also has only a complexity limit of 12 instead of the usual 15, and it has abysmal armor values. It also doesn't protect you from pepper spray and the helmet doesn't allow you to use internals or block you from eating. I tweaked the sprites for it as well, removing the visor from the inhand and mob overlay sprites, to better reflect it's lack of spaceproofing. I also whipped up a quick sprite for the civilian mod plating, based off of the medical mod plating since they have similar color schemes. ## Why It's Good For The Game I'm going to just copy and paste what I said in the last PR, because all of it still applies to this one. There are a lot of really cool modsuit modules that are hampered by the other drawbacks that modsuits have. These drawbacks exist for a good reason; space proof suits should have tradeoffs, especially ones available at the start of the round like modsuits are. But that doesn't really solve the problem with the modules. One of the biggest examples of this problem is the pepper shoulders module that comes on security modsuits. It's a very cool module conceptually, but it tends to have limited usefulness in practice. Out in space, whoever you're fighting is likely wearing a spacesuit of their own, which will make them completely immune to the pepper spray. On the station, the person wearing the suit has to deal with the slowdown from it, which will far outweigh any advantage granted by the pepper shoulders module. Another good example is the medical modules, like the surgical processor, organ thrower/organizer, and thread ripper modules. All of these are great for a medical player trying to perform surgery, but who is going to be doing surgery in a depressurized room? All these modules don't mesh well with the design of modsuits as special spacesuits, and the new civilian model will hopefully give them more room to be used. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added the civilian modsuit module as a standalone model. It offers no slowdown while activated but does NOT protect you from the void of space. You can print the plating from an exosuit fabricator and build it like a normal modsuit. del: Removed the civilian skin from the standard modsuit, as it is now a standalone model. image: Tweaked the sprites for the civilian modsuit head, both in-hand and on the mob. Also added a civilian mod plating sprite. /🆑	2024-07-19 18:40:32 +02:00

necromanceranne	eaa4d71c3c	Adds the Herculean Gravitronic Spinal Implant; An Athletics focused implant. (#84532) ... ## About The Pull Request Adds the Herculean Gravitronic Spinal Implant. A personal gravity dampener that affords the user improved physical performance without all the effort of actually working out. This implant improves the user's ability in a variety of minor but useful ways Including; 1) Faster climbing speeds with climbing hooks and ladders. (Athletics now also influences this time) 2) Slightly less damage from falling from a height. 3) Faster fireman lifting and placing onto tables. 4) An easier time working out and stronger in boxing. 5) Standing up just a bit faster. 6) Throwing things just a little further. 7) Tackle performance, including offense, defense and safety if you miss. You can improve the implant by using a gravity anomaly core on it, transforming it into an Atlas implant. This implant has considerably better bonuses compared to the baselines fairly minor even if numerous benefits. It also forces personal gravity to normal values. As a result, the total number of gravity anomaly cores is now 6.  Has some little floating rocks around your head while active. ## Why It's Good For The Game I attempted to add something fairly similar in the past, but didn't quite like simply making an entirely combat related implant. Instead, I've changed the concept towards generally improving some minor physical world interactions. Things that you may not really think about or notice. I really enjoy getting just slight tweaks to the small little gameplay activities that come up every so often, and even if this won't appeal to most players, I know someone will see this and think to find a way to make the most of the implant in some way that I didn't even think about. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Adds the Herculean Gravitronic Spinal Implant; an implant that makes you better at athletics. You can upgrade it into an Atlas implant using a gravity anomaly core. balance: Gravity anomaly cores have had their max number of cores reduces from 8 to 6. balance: Your athletic ability allows you to climb faster. /🆑	2024-07-12 22:36:26 +02:00

ArcaneMusic	43e62163fe	Adds a Contraband trait, and implements contraband as a mechanic to security bounties. (#84003) ... ## About The Pull Request This PR does a few things but centrally it's all centered around mechanically enforcing what items are and are-not considered contraband in-game. ### What does something being contraband MEAN? Contraband items are visually indistinguishable from non-contraband. If an item is Contraband, it can only be detected in two ways: * After being scanned by an N-Spect scanner, which is a standard item security item, assuming it still has a charge to do so. * Via a scanner gate, which can now be upgraded with an N-spect scanner to allow for it to scan a person and all their contents for contraband. ### What items ARE contraband? Contraband items are intended to be determined both logically and through other relevant examine text. However, here's the short list of items that are considered contraband, reserving the right to expand the list. <details> <summary>In hindsight it's kind of a long list.</summary> * Items that have "contraband" or "illegal" in the name or description. * Items that allow for the player to obtain other illegal items, that are NOT particularly stealthy. * This means that a syndicate uplink is NOT considered contraband, as they're typically hidden on your person as something else. * Stealth items under the syndicate uplink, the revolutionary flash, and some mapped in dangerous items that can come from both syndicate and company-aligned resources are not considered dangerous. * Items that are purchased from cargo after emagging or switching to extended cargo range. * Items purchased FROM syndicate uplinks, the wizard knowledge scroll, or other antagonist shops. * Cursed artifacts/tools magically produced by cultists or heretics. * Items purchased from the blackmarket. * Items purchased from the contraband section of vending machines. * Some drugs and overtly dangerous or criminal byproducts. </details> ### How does this interact with the round? Well, primarily, this is an aid for in-game enforcement of space law. Based on the length of the above list, we have a LONG, LONG list of items in-game that are technically considered, in one way or another, illegal to have on the station, and yet without either metaknowledge of what those items are, or how they're used, security officers lack some of the certainty of how to deal with these kinds of encounters. Additionally to the knowledge aspect of this trait, security officers may now receive a new civilian bounty to collect items that are considered contraband, also giving them an incentive to look for and confiscate contraband that's been found across the station while upholding space law. ### Other minor changes that I rolled into this Security has a bounty for 3 different rechargers, and considering access limitations, most security players aren't going to make this exchange, so I've lowered the required amount down to 1. Adjusted the N-spect scanner's description to match it's new functionality. The Civilian bounty TGUI now has an additional 1 point of padding to make it feel less cramped. https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/41715314/c3cd4752-b03a-4e0b-959e-1252fcc2369d **Updated as of 6/19/2024:** Additionally, some storage items will block the presence of contraband when going through a contraband aligned scanning gate. These items include the infiltrator modsuit core, storage implant, void cloak, the aptly named smuggler's satchel, and the chameleon kit's backpack. **Updated as of 6/23/2024:** N-spect scanner now has contextual screentips. **Updated as of 6/29/2024:** Scanner gates are now available in all lathes that have a feature specific to how scanner gates function. So, includes cargo (contraband), security (weapons), and medbay (diseases). ## Why It's Good For The Game Originally, this started out as a way to be able to provide more in-character and in-flavor bounties for security officers, because they suck! Most security bounties as they exist right now do the worst possible things from all respective bounties: * They detract away from a job's actual responsibilities as opposed to working with them. * They're best completed while sitting next to your lathe and running items back to the bounty pad. * They exist with such esoteric rarity of high quantity of items that it's miserable to fulfil. As a result, I started work on this as a framework to allow security officers to be further incentivized to collect contraband across the station, either as a result of the gamemode or just through routine patrols across the station. Implementing it as a learning tool for security as well just happened to work out as an additional bonus, and having a function in-game allowing newer or less experienced players to know if an item is considered dangerous or conspicuous also works as a particularly good way to provide information where a player may not know what they're up against. If nothing else, this might be interesting to try, and if not, I'll just snip out the QOL changes from it and we'll see how it goes. Going forward, I am a bit hesitant about the contraband scanner gate mode, and as such, will try working with the admin team to determine if that's a good feature to keep around for game health, while hoping to give it a chance in the fullness of time. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Items spawned via traitor uplinks or are known illegal contraband on the station can now be scanned and identified as such by the N-spect scanners in security. These only applies to overt traitor or antagonist items, and "stealth" items will not be seen as such. add: Scanner gates can now be upgraded by using an N-spect scanner on it to unlock "contraband scanning" mode. add: Security officers can now be offered a bounty to turn in pieces of contraband. add: Some stealthy storage items like storage implants, smuggler's satchels, void cloaks, the infiltrator modsuit, and the chameleon backpack will block the presence of contraband on your person when placed inside. qol: N-spect scanner contextual screentips. balance: Recharger security bounties ask for a quantity of 1, down from 3. qol: security, cargo, and medbay have access to scanner gate boards. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <51863163+MrMelbert@users.noreply.github.com>	2024-07-11 03:08:25 +02:00

After the techweb tree update, Telecommunications has become a tier 5 research, meaning that nobody researches gigabeacons again.

You need to craft it like any other mech but you also need 8 telecrystals to finish constraction. 3. To board a mech you need syndicate access (traitor can get it by purchasing an agent card). About Mech: Video: https://youtu.be/QwJfO_lbLK0 Text: Health 200 Damage 60 Only melee attacks(can't attach range weapons(can't attach anything in his arms at all)) Block chanse 60 Speed - in safty mode 2.5 in combat mode 4.5 Attack effects: In addition to damage, it has a 50 percent chance of cutting off an arm or leg (does not put you to sleep or give a knockdown effect when hit like regular combat mechs do). If a target in crit or stun makes a finishing attack instead of a regular attack, the mech says an epic phrase and after a second cuts off the target's head by dashing through the target. Special actions(can't be used if mech in safty mode): Invisability - Makes the mech invisible for 20 seconds. If the mech is pushed or collides with someone or if the pilot presses the invisibility button again, the mech will no longer be invisible and will go into a 5 second cooldown (the same will happen after 20 seconds). If you attack in invisibility, then instead of a normal attack the mech will make an AoE 3x3 attack 1 second after pressing (the attack will be accompanied by a sound and visual effect and for a second the mech will not be able to move, which gives enemies time to run away from the attack). Upon completion AoE attack, everyone( except peoples in crit and in stunned condition) in a 3x3 radius will receive 35 damage and a 25 chance of having one of their limbs cut off. Charge Attack - Mech makes a dash towards the cursor at a distance of up to 7 cells, breaking all obstacles in its path. If the obstacle is a living person (and he is not in crit and is not stunned) then he will receive 35 damage and a 25 chance of cutting off a limb. Cooldown 5 Seconds. P.S.

ArcaneMusic	3512821314	Adds a new anomaly core item to Illumination technology, the photon cannon. (#84368) ... ## About The Pull Request This PR adds a new gunkit to the **Illumination Applications** tech node acquired via BEPIS techs. For years, this funny little tech node has been one of the lamer results from the BEPIS tech pool, only offering constructable unique hardhats and access to a micro RLD. Well, lets just say, badda bing https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/41715314/bd869d7f-449a-4563-871a-b90f550e0bda The photon cannon is craftable via a lathed gunkit obtained from the security lathe, which fires 4 shots per recharge. Each shot, on direct contact with a mob, acts like a severity 3 flash. The shot also distinctly slows down after traveling, so you can more effectively gauge where it's going to stop moving, as when it reaches it's travel distance, it will perform a weaker AOE severity 1 flash. Direct hits will effect silicons, while the AOE flash will not. Direct hits only deal 5 ***STAMINA* damage. The Gunkit requires a flux anomaly core to be crafted, completing with the tesla gun in this respect. ## Why It's Good For The Game There's been some discussion about how we've hoping to offer higher power features and options to the game at large using anomaly cores, and flux anomalies are currently only used for guns, which is rather unfortunate. The bigger issue, I'd suppose, is that every gun that flux anomalies can produce are considered lethal, with the event horizon gun and tesla gun. And honestly, by comparison, the tesla is not lethal enough to use to any real effect, or practical enough to bother science enough for the core. The photon cannon, however, works as a rather effective crowd control weapon for breaching and incapacitating crewmates, making it ideal for wardens dealing with large tides of crewmates, officers breaking into bases, or ~~the captain trying to burn down your library dnd game, DOUGLAS~~ Overall, it's still a fairly low power weapon, and sits in a niche place somewhere between a dragNET, flashbang-loaded grenade launcher, the flash, and the ion-cannon, with it's versatility coming from core rarity and requiring a BEPIS tech. **I have since updated this PR so that this gun deals stamina damage instead of energy damage, and contact with the energy ball deals a short period of confusion.** ## Changelog 🆑 add: The Illumination Applications technode now includes a gunkit for a new gun, the Photon Cannon. /🆑	2024-07-04 15:12:15 +02:00

This puts it in the same tier as the Desynchronizer.  ## Why It's Good For The Game The original intent for the weapon was for it to be an extremely late-game option as the end-all, be-all gun where only one really could exist at a time. This thing is an absolute _monster_ in that it has very little cooldown, can hit things multiple screens away, and gibs whoever it hits. I'm down for it - it's fun and stupid and goofy and something I would love to see _sometimes_. I saw it in like 4 rounds in a row earlier today. Fuck. I feel like it's either "make it harder to get" or "nerf it into obscurity" and I really don't want what we replaced the meme rifle with to end up being as shitty as the meme rifle was. Worth noting that a lot of people were recommending a change that would make the rifle require only a single vortex core, but would require and consume a vortex core when it fires, meaning it can only be fired a total of like 4-5 times in a round. That sounds great but I don't know how to go about coding it and I feel like a change needs to be made sooner rather than later, so we're doing this for now. If someone comes back and implements that instead before this gets merged, I'll close this PR.
