* Allows turbine parts to be made at off-station protolathes (#75651)
## About The Pull Request
smacks a ` | AWAY_LATHE` on the end of the turbine parts `build_type`
edit: Fixes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/74078 - thanks
to SyncIt21 for pointing that out. made this pr after finding out I
couldn't print the parts myself, wasn't aware there was an open issue
for it
## Why It's Good For The Game
The circuit boards for the turbine could be printed at ancient circuit
imprinters, but the actual parts needed for the turbine itself couldn't
be printed at the ancient protolathes. I assume this was an oversight
since there's not really any reason why off-station roles shouldn't be
able to make a functional turbine.

* Stabilized metal slime extract now properly add's a sheet to a random stack (#75685)
## About The Pull Request
`/obj/item/stack/sheet/add()` proc not only increments the `amount` var
but also
1. updates the stack's appearance
2. updates it's weight
3. inform's global material sniffer's about it's presense
4. also updates it's custom material's
So let the slime extract use this proc instead of doing a partial
incomplete job ourselves

it's appearance & weight are updated correctly & is picked up by

* Modular Shield Generators, Also Adds a new perimeter algorithm to _helpers/math_dm (#75328)
Disclaimer im mostly making this pr for the experience if anything.
Also anyone can replace the sprites if they want to I`m just making them
so itl be done, idk what a plasteel machine is supposed to look like.
The circuit boards to make these machines are unlocked by the advanced
power manipulation tech
The entire shield
- Has one big healthpool (base of 50)
- Has a configurable radius
- Takes damage from hot gas and emp
- Has regeneration (it gets nerfed by alot of things that I have to talk
about separately)
- When the shield is broken the generator must regenerate at 0.25x speed
before coming online again
- can be configured to either only generate a shield externally (in
space) or both internally and externally at the cost of half the regen
rate
- Regen rate is also reduced based on the ratio of the shield radius and
the max radius that the generator is capable of generating
- Alot more that im too tired to explain at the moment
The base stats of the shield (max health, regen rate, max radius) all
scale with the tier of parts used in the main generator.
4 other machines (3 are finished code-wise as of now) the charger (regen
rate), the relay (max radius) the well (max health) the node (allows for
more connections) can all be connected to the main generator to boost
its core stats based on their part tiers
In the future there is a possibility of specialization / modifications
to the forcefield at the cost to the core stats

This was pretty simple since they didn't have too much custom behavior,

out the last two times I wrote intricate AI action/decision behaviors so
I'm just taking it light and doing the bare minimum.
one day our shackles will be free of the simple animal scourge. they're
also a bit more intelligent, and i daresay a bit cuter too now.

R&D Monitoring console TGUI + Can see RD consoles (#72987)
## About The Pull Request
I wrote this while constantly rushing lol
This PR does many things, the largest is that the R&D Monitoring console
(the RD's one) is now TGUI
It also changes how researching loggings work, bringing the RD console
and NtosRD app on par with eachother
The type of person is also logged differently, instead of ``Cyborg:
[name]`` and ``User: [name]``, humans do not have a prefix and cyborgs
will say ``CYBORG [name]``. ``research_logs`` also works differently now
to make it easier to reference each needed data from the list.
Lastly, I added the ability to see R&D consoles from the console, and
the ability to remotely un/lock them down. This currently is pretty
useless as it can't control the tablet app variant, and anyone with
Science access can just unlock it, however with some minor future
changes I think this can be turned into a good way for the RD to get
control of their department.
Video demonstration, mostly (I made a few edits after this):
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/53777086/215005387-817106f4-5237-4f2e-b0ac-da28e6a17f9c.mp4
## Why It's Good For The Game
This console is overhyped by the game, being hidden behind an RD-locked
Command-colored door, in the same room as one of the most damaging theft
objectives, yet it is one of the most useless and forgotten consoles in
R&D if you don't count everything outside of researching, experiments
and robotics.
This adds a nice TGUI menu while making it a little more worthwhile to
use.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: The R&D monitoring console now shows R&D consoles and their
locations.
refactor: The R&D monitoring console now has a nice TGUI menu.

* Fixes burning black slime spell skipping some of the cast chain (#75335)
## About The Pull Request
Shapeshift needs to go through `before_cast` to select the shapeshift
type.
So, instead of just doing `cast`, we do `Activate`, to go through the
entire cast chain.
At first I was going to run `Trigger`, but by using `Activate` we can
skip some checks. Likely makes it a bit more consistent and less likely
to fail.

* Turns Deer into Basic Mob - They Freeze At The Sight of Vehicles (#74784)
## About The Pull Request
deers only show up in the BEPIS but i decided that they would be easy
enough to turn into a basic mob (they were). it was so easy in fact that
i decided to dip my toes into coding AI behavior, and made them freeze
up whenever they see a vehicle. this required a lot of code in a bunch
of places that i was quite unfamiliar with before starting this project,
so do let me know if i glonked up anywhere and i can work on smoothing
it out.
## Why It's Good For The Game
one less simple animal on the list. deers staring at headlights is
pretty cool i think, neato interaction for when you do get them beyond
the joke the bepis makes
i'm also amenable to dropping the whole "deer in headlights" code if you
don't like that for w/e reason- just wanted to make them basic at the
very least

* Updates paper biscuits and the paper cutter (#74473)
## About The Pull Request
Well this started as a PR updating some of the spelling and grammar on
the biscuits... though spilled out a little into other aspects of the
relevant code.
There are a few things I've done here.
**Paper biscuits:**
- Updated spelling and grammar for paper biscuits. Confidental ->
confidential, that sort of thing.
- A little reorganisation and cleanup of the code itself.
- Preset slips are now generated on init on the parent from a var,
rather than each having its own init proc.
- Early returns, clearer vars, etc
**Paper Cutters**
Ended up doing more here, even though it wasn't the original reason I
started looking at this code.
- Added one (1) paper cutter blade to the paper cutters cargo crate.
Raised the price a little. This is just a reskinned hatchet, so I don't
think it's much of a balance concern.
- Clarifies and docs vars
- Cleans up refs on destroy
- Many `to_chat`s to `balloon_alert`s
- Removed single-letter vars
- Cancelled attack chains when trying to actually use the cutter. You
now pick it up either by having the blade secured and no paper inside,
or by dragging it into your hand.
## Changelog
🆑
spellcheck: Paper biscuits now have more proper spelling and grammar
qol: You now get one spare paper cutter blade in the paper cutter cargo
crate.
tweak: You now use right click to cut paper with a paper cutter
fix: You can now remove paper from a paper cutter if you change your
mind.

* "Biscuit" cards, and also now slip papers are actually paper! (#74329)
## About The Pull Request
**This is not a literal biscuit which you eat. "Biscuit" is just a
nickname of this kind of snap-cards.**
Slip paper is now actually paper, before that, it was just literally
nothing, an object which does nothing. Because of that, the paper cutter
was useless as well, as it turned normal paper into useless paper slips.
Because of this now paper cutters are placed at:
- Bridge
- HoP office
- Warden office
- Cargo
Also adds biscuit cards. If you have no idea what it is, it's a kind of
card placed around a piece of paper usually to conceal some document and
it can be opened by cracking it with a crunchy sound (that's why it's
named a biscuit). Those are usually only opened in certain situations or
emergencies (The most famous example is the US president's nuclear
biscuit, which contains nuclear codes)
There are 2 biscuits: Normal and Confidential.
Normal is a plain biscuit with nothing really special, can be coloured
if you want as it's white.
The confidential biscuit is blue and has "NT" on it.
There is a not-sealed biscuit you can print in autolathe, it starts open
so you can put paper in and seal later making it a normal crackable one.
Now spare ID safe code automatically spawns in a confidential biscuit in
a new paper slip subtype - corporate slip paper. It's a plastic card
which is sturdier than the normal paper clip.
You can also create the corporate paper slip paper using - normal paper
slip, plastic, and captain rubber stamp (making this paper having a rare
status)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Paper slips being not paper is stupid and has no point in being that
way. This also made the paper cutter useless; hence, it was never placed
on any map (and never used).
This PR makes it paper, so it's usable when crew members need a paper
slip instead of a full-size sheet.
Placing paper cutters around the station makes it so the crew can
produce paper slips when they need them, this also gives it finally a
use and place on the station.
The 'biscuits' are cool and give more flavour to the spare ID safe
codes, as well as to other documents people might put in future PRs.
This also makes those paranoid captains which are scared of their spare
ID safe code being stolen and read can sleep tight, as now if someone
opens it up it's really obvious. Now also you can really make sure if
that head is lying about "not touching the spare ID", _but not as anyone
cares really._
**Okay, it's draft for now just so I can add some new things, and fix
the dupe bug:**
- [x] Being able to fax the paper biscuits
- [x] Make it impossible to cut paper slips into paper slips
- [x] Make corporate paper slips craftable or printable
- [x] Make confidential biscuits craftable or printable
- [x] Make paper cutters orderable at the cargo
_CRUNCH_
## Changelog
🆑 DrDiasyl aka DrTuxedo#0931
add: Added 'biscuit' cards! They can contain documents and can only be
accessed by cracking them open, you can't close them back. Nanotrasen
now stores spare ID safe codes in them.
add: Placed paper cutters around the station. They're in Bridge, HoP
office, Warden office, and Cargo.
add: Now you can order paper cutters at cargo.

* Audits usage of isanimal() vs isanimal_or_basic_mob() (#74029)
## About The Pull Request
There's a couple of open issues which fix places where only simple
animals were considered, but they are doing it piecemeal.
I decided to just go through every instance of `isanimal` or
`subtypesof(mob/living/simple_animal)` I could find, identify which
should also affect basic mobs, and fix them.
I left out the two others which are already in PR, I'm not stealing your
GBP.
Fixes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/68881
## Why It's Good For The Game
Consistency, mostly.
As far as I can tell all of these things _should_ have effected basic
mobs, but didn't.
This fixes a fair number of bugs but also they're bugs that nobody
noticed or reported.
There are a couple of places I did not update which will need updating
in future. These are:
- Dextrousness checks, because basic mobs don't have that yet.
- The Charge cooldown action, because frankly I couldn't tell what it
was trying to do.

* More stuff to construct & destroy (#73942)
## About The Pull Request
**1. Suit Storage Units**
- What about them?
1. You can print "suit storage unit" circuit boards from engineering &
science circuit printer's after research to make more suit storage
units, now since they behave like regular constructable machines you can
deconstruct them via screwdriver & crowbar.
2. You can upgrade its capacitor to get faster charging speeds
- Why its good for the game?
1. You can rebuild these in the event they get destroyed
2. Better tier capacitors = faster charging speeds
3. More storage units = More places to decontaminate your equipment +
Recharge more mod suits made in robotics
4. If you decide to leave the game or your done using a mod suit e.g. a
mining mod suit rather than keeping it to yourself or throwing it away,
just build a suit storage unit and hang it there so other players can
use it i.e., sharing is caring.
**2. Freezer Cabinet**
- What about them?
1. They are now craftable
3. You can deconstruct them with a welding tool.
- Why its good for the game?
1. You can now make more of them if they get stolen/destroyed
2. More places to store food, dead bodies, whatever
**3. Flood Lights**
- What about them?
They can now be fully deconstructed in the exact opposite sequence you
constructed them.
- First use screwdriver to open its panel
- Then use empty hand to remove light
- Then use screwdriver to unscrew the wiring from frame
- Use wire cutter to remove wiring completely
- Finally use wrench to completely deconstruct frame
- Why it's good for the game?
Reclaim used material to build flood light else where . Also much more
clean than what the wiki is suggesting.
## Changelog
🆑

Improved engineering tools patch 2: Bolter Wrench (#72445)
This adds a new wrench that can be printed after Advanced Engineering is
researched or as a rare mail gift for engineers.
The Bolter Wrench is medium sized (fits on toolbelts and bags but not on
boxes) and can grab into the bolting system of airlocks, raising it's
bolts after a 5 second `do_after`, even if the airlock has no power or
the wires are cut, as long as you can access the inner wires. (Won't
work if the panel is closed or has it's wires reinforced.)
Codersprite blatantly inspired by Iconoclast's wrench and looks like
this:
Right now, the only way to fix a powerless bolted down airlock is by
fixing the power first, this becomes an issue if the APC is behind the
airlock.
If that is the case, the only way in is to break through walls/windows
or destroy the airlock if you can, both add more things you need to
repair, making reconstruction times longer and longer...
Or you use an RCD to delete the airlock in 5 seconds, while faster than
the above method still is another thing to the repair list...
Repairing damaged and bolted down airlocks is such a hassle that
doormag'd airlocks bypass the default deconstruction system and just let
you deconstruct them directly without the steps of unbolting and
welding, something that could be removed with this tool but I won't
defend the pros and cons of it now.
Reconstruction is slow and cumbersome without an RCD. (And even with
one...)
I've been trying to make it smoother without using RCDs or a future RAT
on previous PRs and future ones to come, this tool is part of those
plans.
🆑 Guillaume Prata
add: Bolter Wrench as a new tool, it can raise the bolts of airlocks
regardless of it's power status to smoother station repairs. It can be
printed and is unlocked on the same tier as RCD. It can also rarely be a
mail gift for engineers.

cable pieces lying around
3. Right click on it to dispense a custom amount of cable
4. Refill with cable
5. Alt click to change cable layer
6. Available in autolathe & engineering protolathe round start

1. Clean up cable pieces bitten by rats and lay fresh cable in
maintenance very quickly.
2. For big construction projects. Carrying one big roll of 7 stacks of
cable is much more storage efficient than carrying 7 separate stacks
individually.
3. For wiring Solars very quickly
Also, I'm pretty sure something like this exists in real life so why
not. It's just the rapid pipe cleaner but for cables.

* Completing experiments after their associated nodes have been researched gives back a partial refund of the discount lost (#73814)
## About The Pull Request
So we're like simultaneously moving two vague directions with research.
One being "experisci grants discounts for prohibitively expensive nodes
so you want to do the experiments to discount them" and the other being
"Let's give Heads of Staff a way to research anything they want without
any communication to the research department, including the very
expensive nodes that scientists may be working on"
You already see the issue, right? You can't have your cake and eat it
too.
It sucks for scientists to be working on a complex experiment like
weapons tech for that huge 90% discount only for the HoS to stumble onto
the bridge and research it anyways. Your time is wasted and RND is
slowed down massively.
We can do something to assuage that.
This PR makes it so completing an experiment which discounts already
completed nodes will refund a partial amount of the discount that
would've applied.
For example, researching industrial engineering without scanning the
iron toilets will refund ~5000 points.
This can only apply once per experiment, so if an experiment discounts
multiple technologies, they will only get a refund based on the first
technology researched.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This accomplishes the following:
- Expensive research nodes with difficult experiments remain expensive
without completing the experiments. If no one does the experiment, they
act the same as before.
- Expensive research nodes with very easy experiments (but time
consuming) no longer put RND on a time crunch to beat the itchy trigger
finger of the Heads of Staff. Stuff like scanning lathes allow the
scientists to work more at their own pace: they can talk to people or
maybe stop at the bar or kitchen between departments without feeling
pressure to get it done urgently.
- Scientists are able to complete experiments which previously were no
longer deemed relevant if they need a point injection. Experiments left
behind are no longer completely useless bricks. Maybe even gives
latejoin scientists something to do.
- Scientists mid experiment can still complete it to not feel like their
time is wasted.
Overall I think this has many benefits to the current science system
where many have complaints.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
qol: Completing an experiment which discounts a researched tech node
will give a partial refund of the discount lost. For example,
researching the industrial engineering research without scanning iron
toilets will refund ~5000 points if you complete it afterwards. This
only applies once per experiment, so experiments which discount multiple
nodes only refund the first researched.
