## About The Pull Request
`update_mode_power_usage` updates the power usage variables for a
machine, so using that variable as the baseline in calculating new power
consumption, means that those calculations stack infinitely.
When this comes up elsewhere, the calculations are based off the
*initial* value, so this updates holodecks and holopads to use that
logic.

## About The Pull Request
1. Renames `NO_DECONSTRUCTION` -> `NO_DEBRIS_AFTER_DECONSTRUCTION`. As
the name suggests when the object is deconstructed it won't drop any
items/debris. After my last refactor for this flag it now serves a new
purpose so its name has been changed to match that
2. Fixes objects that are now using `NO_DECONSTRUCTION` incorrectly.
Some of these changes include
- Removing the flag in objects where there are no means to deconstruct
them (e.g. jukebox, hydroponics soil, flora etc)
- Replacing the flags old purpose by overriding its tool procs so that
it regains its old behaviour(e.g. You once again cannot deconstruct ctf
reinforced tables, survival pods, indestructible windows etc)
## Changelog
🆑
code: renamed `NO_DECONSTRUCTION` to `NO_DEBRIS_AFTER_DECONSTRUCTION` so
its name matches its intended purpose
fix: fixes some items that incorrectly used `NO_DECONSTRUCTION` prior to
its refactor, meaning makes some objects non deconstructable again
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
I've seen a few cases in the past where LateInitialize is done cause of
the init return value being set to do so for no real reason, I thought I
should try to avoid that by ensuring LateInitialize isn't ever called
without overriding.
This fixes a ton of machine's LateInitialize not calling parent
(mechpad, door buttons, message monitor, a lot of tram machines,
abductor console, holodeck computer & disposal bin), avoiding having to
set itself up to be connected to power. If they were intended to not
connect to power, they should be using ``NO_POWER_USE`` instead.
Also removes a ton of returns to LateInit when it's already getting it
from parent regardless (many cases of that in machine code).
## Why It's Good For The Game
I think this is better for coding standard reasons as well as just
making sure we're not calling this proc on things that does absolutely
nothing with them. A machine not using power can be seen evidently not
using power with ``NO_POWER_USE``, not so much if it's LateInitialize
not calling parent.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Mech pads, door buttons, message monitors, tram machines, abductor
consoles & holodeck computers now use power.

## About The Pull Request
When it comes to deconstructing an object we have `proc/deconstruct()` &
`NO_DECONSTRUCT`
Lets talk about the flag first.
**Problems with `NO_DECONSTRUCTION`**
I know what the comment says on what it should do
b5593bc693/code/__DEFINES/obj_flags.dm (L18)
But everywhere people have decided to give their own meaning/definition
to this flag. Here are some examples on how this flag is used
**1. Make the object just disappear(not drop anything) when
deconstructed**
This is by far the largest use case everywhere. If an object is
deconstructed(either via tools or smashed apart) then if it has this
flag it should not drop any of its contents but just disappear. You have
seen this code pattern used everywhere
b5593bc693/code/game/machinery/constructable_frame.dm (L26-L31)
This behaviour is then leveraged by 2 important components.
When an object is frozen, if it is deconstructed it should just
disappear without leaving any traces behind
b5593bc693/code/datums/elements/frozen.dm (L66-L67)
By hologram objects. Obviously if you destroy an hologram nothing real
should drop out
b5593bc693/code/modules/holodeck/computer.dm (L301-L304)
And there are other use cases as well but we won't go into them as they
aren't as significant as these.
**2. To stop an object from being wrenched ??**
Yeah this one is weird. Like why? I understand in some instances (chair,
table, rack etc) a wrench can be used to deconstruct a object so using
the flag there to stop it from happening makes sense but why can't we
even anchor an object just because of this flag?
b5593bc693/code/game/objects/objs.dm (L368-L369)
This is one of those instances where somebody just decided this
behaviour for their own convenience just like the above example with no
explanation as to why
**3. To stop using tools to deconstruct the object**
This was the original intent of the flag but it is enforced in few
places far & between. One example is when deconstructing the a machine
via crowbar.
b5593bc693/code/game/machinery/_machinery.dm (L811)
But machines are a special dual use case for this flag. Because if you
look at its deconstruct proc the flag also prevents the machine from
spawning a frame.
b5593bc693/code/game/machinery/_machinery.dm (L820-L822)
How can 1 flag serve 2 purposes within the same type?
**4. Simply forget to check for this flag altogether**
Yup if you find this flag not doing its job for some objects don't be
surprised. People & sometimes even maintainers just forget that it even
exists
b5593bc693/code/game/objects/items/piggy_bank.dm (L66-L67)
**Solution**
These are the main examples i found. As you can see the same flag can
perform 2 different functions within the same type and do something else
in a different object & in some instances don't even work cause people
just forget, etc.
In order to bring consistency to this flag we need to move it to the
atom level where it means the same thing everywhere. Where in the atom
you may ask? .Well, I'll just post what MrMelbert said in
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81656#discussion_r1503086862
> ...Ideally the .deconstruct call would handle NO_DECONSTRUCTION
handling as it wants,
Yup that's the ideal case now. This flag is checked directly in
`deconstruct()`. Now like i said we want to give a universal definition
to this flag and as you have seen from my examples it is used in 3 cases
1) Make an object disappear(doesn't dropping anything) when
deconstructed
2) Stop it from being wrenched
3) Stop it from being deconstructed via tools
We can't enforce points 2 & 3 inside `deconstruct()` which leaves us
with only case 1) i.e. make the object disappear. And that's what i have
done. Therefore after more than a decade or since this flag got
introduced `NO_DECONSTRUCT` now has a new definition as of 2024
_"Make an object disappear(don't dropping anything) when deconstructed
either via tools or forcefully smashed apart"_
Now i very well understand this will open up bugs in places where cases
2 & 3 are required but its worth it. In fact they could even be qol
changes for all we know so who knows it might even benefit us but for
now we need to give a universal definition to this flag to bring some
consistency & that's what this PR does.
**Problem with deconstruct()**
This proc actually sends out a signal which is currently used by the
material container but could be used by other objects later on.
3e84c3e6da/code/game/objects/obj_defense.dm (L160)
So objects that override this proc should call its parent. Sadly that
isn't the case in many instances like such
3e84c3e6da/code/game/machinery/deployable.dm (L20-L23)
Instead of `return ..()` which would delete the object & send the signal
it deletes the object directly thus the signal never gets sent.
**Solution**
Make this proc non overridable. For objects to add their own custom
deconstruction behaviour a new proc has been introduced
`atom_deconstruct()` Subtypes should now override this proc to handle
object deconstruction.
If objects have certain important stuff inside them (like mobs in
machines for example) they want to drop by handling `NO_DECONSTRUCT`
flag in a more carefully customized way they can do this by overriding
`handle_deconstruct()` which by default delegates to
`atom_deconstruct()` if the `NO_DECONSTRUCT` flag is absent. This proc
will allow you to handle the flag in a more customized way if you ever
need to.
## Why It's Good For The Game
1) I'm goanna post the full comment from MrMelbert
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81656#discussion_r1503086862
> ...Ideally the .deconstruct call would handle NO_DECONSTRUCTION
handling as it wants, but there's a shocking lack of consistency around
NO_DECONSTRUCTION, where some objects treat it as "allow deconstruction,
but make it drop no parts" and others simply "disallow deconstruction at
all"
This PR now makes `NO_DECONSTRUCTION` handled by `deconstruct()` & gives
this flag the consistency it deserves. Not to mention as shown in case 4
there are objects that simply forgot to check for this flag. Now it
applies for those missing instances as well.
2) No more copying pasting the most overused code pattern in this code
base history `if(obj_flags & NO_DECONSTRUCTION)`. Just makes code
cleaner everywhere
3) All objects now send the `COMSIG_OBJ_DECONSTRUCT` signal on object
deconstruction which is now available for use should you need it
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: refactors how objects are deconstructed in relation to the
`NO_DECONSTRUCTION` flag. Certain objects & machinery may display
different tool interactions & behaviours when destroyed/deconstructed.
Report these changes if you feel like they are bugs

## About The Pull Request
Removes all arbitrary energy and power units in the codebase. Everything
is replaced with the joule and watt, with 1 = 1 joule, or 1 watt if you
are going to multiply by time. This is a visible change, where all
arbitrary energy units you see in the game will get proper prefixed
units of energy.
With power cells being converted to the joule, charging one joule of a
power cell will require one joule of energy.
The grid will now store energy, instead of power. When an energy usage
is described as using the watt, a power to energy conversion based on
the relevant subsystem's timing (usually multiplying by seconds_per_tick
or applying power_to_energy()) is needed before adding or removing from
the grid. Power usages that are described as the watt is really anything
you would scale by time before applying the load. If it's described as a
joule, no time conversion is needed. Players will still read the grid as
power, having no visible change.
Machines that dynamically use power with the use_power() proc will
directly drain from the grid (and apc cell if there isn't enough)
instead of just tallying it up on the dynamic power usages for the area.
This should be more robust at conserving energy as the surplus is
updated on the go, preventing charging cells from nothing.
APCs no longer consume power for the dynamic power usage channels. APCs
will consume power for static power usages. Because static power usages
are added up without checking surplus, static power consumption will be
applied before any machine processes. This will give a more truthful
surplus for dynamic power consumers.
APCs will display how much power it is using for charging the cell. APC
cell charging applies power in its own channel, which gets added up to
the total. This will prevent invisible power usage you see when looking
at the power monitoring console.
After testing in MetaStation, I found roundstart power consumption to be
around 406kW after all APCs get fully charged. During the roundstart APC
charge rush, the power consumption can get as high as over 2MW (up to
25kW per roundstart APC charging) as long as there's that much
available.
Because of the absurd potential power consumption of charging APCs near
roundstart, I have changed how APCs decide to charge. APCs will now
charge only after all other machines have processed in the machines
processing subsystem. This will make sure APC charging won't disrupt
machines taking from the grid, and should stop APCs getting their power
drained due to others demanding too much power while charging. I have
removed the delays for APC charging too, so they start charging
immediately whenever there's excess power. It also stops them turning
red when a small amount of cell gets drained (airlocks opening and shit
during APC charge rush), as they immediately become fully charged
(unless too much energy got drained somehow) before changing icon.
Engineering SMES now start at 100% charge instead of 75%. I noticed
cells were draining earlier than usual after these changes, so I am
making them start maxed to try and combat that.
These changes will fix all conservation of energy issues relating to
charging powercells.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes#73438Closes#75789Closes#80634Closes#82031
Makes it much easier to interface with the power system in the codebase.
It's more intuitive. Removes a bunch of conservation of energy issues,
making energy and power much more meaningful. It will help the
simulation remain immersive as players won't encounter energy
duplication so easily. Arbitrary energy units getting replaced with the
joule will also tell people more meaningful information when reading it.
APC charging will feel more snappy.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fixes conservation of energy issues relating to charging
powercells.
qol: APCs will display how much power they are using to charge their
cell. This is accounted for in the power monitoring console.
qol: All arbitrary power cell energy units you see are replaced with
prefixed joules.
balance: As a consequence of the conservation of energy issues getting
fixed, the power consumption for charging cells is now very significant.
balance: APCs only use surplus power from the grid after every machine
processes when charging, preventing APCs from causing others to
discharge while charging.
balance: Engineering SMES start at max charge to combat the increased
energy loss due to conservation of energy fixes.

## About The Pull Request
Situation: areas have a list of all turfs in their area.
Problem: `/area/space` is an area and has a 6 to 7 digit count of turfs
that has to be traversed for every turf we need to remove from it. This
can take multiple byond ticks just to preform this action for a single
space rune
Solution: split the list by zlevel, and only search the right zlevel
list when removing turfs from areas.
replaces `area.get_contained_turfs()` with a few new procs:
* `get_highest_zlevel()` - returns the highest zlevel the area contains
turfs in. useful for use with `get_turfs_by_zlevel`
* `get_turfs_by_zlevel(zlevel)` - returns a list of turfs in the area in
a given zlevel. Useful for code that only cares about a specific zlevel
or changes behavior based on zlevel like lighting init.
* `get_turfs_from_all_zlevels()` - the replacement for
`get_contained_turfs()`, renamed as such so anybody copying/cargo
culting code gets a hint that a zlevel specific version might exist.
Still used in for loops that type checked so byond would do that all at
once
* `get_zlevel_turf_lists()` - returns the area's zlevel lists of lists
but only for non-empty zlevels. very useful for for loops.
The area contents unit test has been rewritten to ensure any improper
data triggers failures or runtimes by not having it use the helpers
above (some of which ensure a list is always returned) and access the
lists directly.

## About The Pull Request
Implements half of this (with some minor changes):
The ultimate goal of this is to split our attack chain in two:
- One for non-combat item interactions
- Health analyzer scanning
- using tools on stuff
- surgery
- Niche other interactions
- One for combat attacking
- Item hit thing, item deal damage.
- Special effects on attack would go here.
This PR begins this by broadining tool act into item interact.
Item interact is a catch-all proc ran at the beginning of attack chain,
before `pre_attack` and such, that handles the first part of the chain.
This allows us to easily catch item interaction and cancel the attack
part of the chain by using deliberate bitflag return values, rather than
`TRUE` / `FALSE`*.
*Because right now, `TRUE` = `cancel attack`, no matter what, which is
unclear to people.
Instead of moving as much as possible to the new proc in this PR, I
started by doing some easy, obvious things. More things can be moved in
the future, or technically they don't even need to move in a lot of
cases.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Refactored some methods of items interacting with other
objects or mobs, such as surgery and health analzyers. Report if

This flag only worked on the `/obj/structure` and `/obj/machinery`
level, so let's rescope it from `flags_1` and put it where it belongs -
`obj_flags`.
Bitflag operators should be scoped to their subtype specific bitfield,
not really useful to have this take up a spot on the `/atom` level if
absolutely nothing other than `/obj`s use it.

it to kittens, and kittens will eat them.
if a kitten sees you holding food, it will point at you and meow loudly

becareful when putting male cats near each other, there is a small

until one of them flees.
also added a new small cat house for cats. cats will use these homes if
u build one near them (using 5 wood planks)

Old holodeck monkeys weren't even a subtype of simple animal monkeys, so
this really just got swept under the floor in the sweeping monkey
species refactors. Anyways, let's just spin up a quick species datum+mob
subtype that will have all the traits we wanted from old holodeck
monkeys (no meat, no organs, etc.) but reaping all of the benefits of
modern monkeys (better AI, etc.)
## Why It's Good For The Game
One more refactor done, very simple too. l'm not the greatest at carbon
code so let me know if something is wack, but I'm fond of the way
everything turned out (especially since I don't have to spam seven
billion subtypes of every organ and bodypart). If you're concerned about
the cost keep in mind people can spam monkeys through cubes, having a
max of three more (that are virtually useless) via the holodeck will not
kill us.
Also the fact that slimes could eat holodeck monkeys irked me so I also
touched that up. I swore there was something for it in the code but I
was mistaken, it's codified now.
## Changelog

monkeys, and should retain the similar "ephermeal" behavior, while being

Adds a new Wizard Ritual Finale effect which makes everything immortal.
By this I mean, 10 seconds after death a ghostly image of them will
appear somewhere near where the corpse was and then 50 seconds after
that the mob will return to life at that location.
This applies to every mob, everywhere.
This is likely to cause a little bit of disruption to the rest of the
round, so you can only do it after at least 30 minutes have passed.
After that the crew will have to figure out how to deal with their new
gift of immortality. It will involve throwing people into chasms and
lava, probably.
Here's a gif sped up for example purposes.
You can escape from the cycle of death and rebirth via suicide, purely
because it's pointless to try and force people to play the video game if
they don't want to.
Also I split all of these effects into their own files, the only new

a folder while you see shit like podperson hair and golem in the main
folder
the icon for human is replaced by the new sprites instead of the old
yellow guy with green eyes
Listing the changes, off the top of my head:
- Resprited fishing rods, hooks, and the worm bait!
- Added a new, telescopic fishing rod, that can be bought as a goodie.
The master rod is also telescopic now.
- Added a couple hooks. One that lets you move the bait up and down,
otherwise keeping it in place, and another that stops the fish from
escaping, but slowly kills it. The former from the bepis fishing tech
node, the latter frm the black market.
- Added a fishing skill and relative legendary reward: A fishing hat,
like the one that recites "women fear me, fish fear me"
- You can now stop fishing by activating the fishing rod in your hand,
and stops it from stealing all clicks on other things if it isn't in
your active hand.
- Reworked fishing traits into fish traits, which can apply to fish
after it has been caught.
- Expanded the fish breeding system. Traits may be passed down to
offsprings, and offsprings may evolve (mutate?) into different kind of
fishes if conditions when conditions are met.
- Added half a dozen new fishes, each with its own traits: lubefish,
sludgefish (and its purple variant), slimefish, unmarine bonemass and
unmarine mastodon. Also, holodeck fish, as a joke.
- New traits: lubed skin, parthenogenesis, toxic (new reagent), toxin
immunity, predator, necrophage, no mating, crossbreeder, aggressive and
revival. Converted Emulsijack's ability and Donkfish's yuckiness into
traits as well.
- Added a fish analyzer that you can scan aquariums and fishes with.
- Fish can now be blended if you really want to. The number of reagents
from blending, w_class, and the number of fillets you get from cutting
fish now scale with size and weight.
- fish feed is no longer infinite (but it should still be plenty).
- Implemented temperature requirements for aquarium fish.
- You can now buy (dead) fish from the black market for dirt cheap.
- Last but now least, toilets are now valid fishing spots.

## About The Pull Request
New malf AI upgrade
Remote safety overrides: Mid-cost, Mid-supply. Allows the AI to remotely
emag things it can see and can access.
1. Very useful for psychological warfare (Emagging APCs to throw the
crew off their trail)
2. Logically makes sense - why, of all things, can the AI not emag
anything when it's fundumentally integrated with the station's
electronics?
3. Generally speaking can only access things that make sense for it to
access - it cannot emag ethereals, sadly
In order for this to work, emag_act now returns a boolean, designating
if the emag had any effect.
While I was in there, I also added args to every single emag_act I could
find and added far more feedback/converted a lot of things to balloon
alerts to allow the AI to see if its emag had any effect.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It just makes sense that the AI, the most electronically-sensitive
entity in the game, would be able to emag things. Plus, more options
given to malf that aren't strictly MURDER KILL MURDER are always a plus,
especially if they allow for fancier plays.

- Generalizes dogtags. Now dogtags will show their string on
examine_more if examining the mob wearing it, so you can see the
contents of someone's Allergy Dogtag without removing their clothes.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Accessories are a surprisingly contentious slot for something supposed
to be entirely cosmetic, so I've decided to address that.
This turns accessories into almost entirely cosmetic, with some minor
effects like mood boosts or pen storage.
People will no longer have to choose between showing off a pride pen or
getting a medal from the HoP, or between wearing sick lavaland drip
items, while also letting us stretch our legs a bit without worrying
about clothing balance.

## About The Pull Request
As the title says, foxes are now basic mobs.
Foxes have a few new behaviors now, rather than the zero behaviors they
had before. Foxes, being very skittish animals, will flee from anything
that damages them. Additionally, they now have hunting behavior,
tracking down and killing anything of their size or smaller - regardless
of faction. They will not, however, hunt as long as someone is watching
them - which is to say, if any living humans are within 7 tiles of them.
Don't leave a fox and a chicken together while you're transporting your
grain to Lavaland! Also, make sure you don't leave Renault and Ian on
their play date unsupervised...
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gets rid of another simple animal. We grow ever closer to ascension.
Also, makes foxes a little more interesting rather than simply another
animal that does literally nothing. Renault will now flee from anyone
trying to kill her, for instance. Also opens up unique avenues of pet
murder if you want to make it look like an accident.
## Changelog
🆑

More verbose naming scheme (instead of "holo", we get "permanent"
chicks), smarter AI for chicks, knocks them off the list, etc. etc.

## About The Pull Request
New DLC bout to drop.
Lots of new things included:
- New basketball minigame that can be played between 2-7 players
- Crafting recipe for basketballs using leather sheets
- Crafting recipe for basketball hoops using metal, rods, and durathread
- New basketball sounds for the ball and hoops
- New scorecard that can be reset using CtrlClick
- Basketball hoops can be rotated using a wrench and AltClick
- Dunking and shooting animations.
### New basketball mechanics that now utilize stamina:
- Dunking costs large stamina and you must be directly adjacent to the
hoop and click on it.
- Shooting costs medium stamina and uses RMB. Shooting lets you aim the
ball over peoples heads, meaning anyone obstructing your path will be
bypassed. There is a half second delay during shooting where someone can
bump or push to prevent the shot from succeeding.
- Shooting from further away results in less accuracy. If you do not
click directly on the hoop, there is also an accuracy penalty!
- Passing costs no stamina and uses LMB. Trying to score into the hoop
via passing results in a reduced chance.
- Spinning costs medium stamina while holding the ball. It gives a
reduced chance for the ball to be stolen but decreases accuracy for
shooting.
- Pushing a player using RMB will attempt to steal the ball and drain
their stamina.
- The chance to steal the ball is based on the stamina of both players
and the direction they are facing. If the person with the ball is at low
stamina, and the person stealing is at full stamina, they will have a
higher chance. Likewise, if the person with the ball is face to face
with the stealer, then there is a higher chance for the ball to be
stolen. If the person has their back to the stealer, then it's a lower
chance.
- Shooting from more than 2 tiles away, results in 3 points. See below
picture to know the distance.
### Now to introduce the teams:

## About The Pull Request
- Improves duplication code significantly
- Removes 'perfectcopy', 'newloc', 'nerf' and 'holoitem' args. These
were made for holodeck items, but holodeck items do not use this proc so
it's since been unused.
- Adds many things to duplicate forbidden vars, such as external organs
(and fixes internal organs), overlays, and signals. The signal part is
what broke basic things for duplicated mobs, such as dying, huds, and
lying down.
- Duplicated mobs now properly carry over the identity of the old mob
without losing anything in the process, and now actually work as a mob,
with visible HUDs and everything. They also carry implants over now.
- Duplicated mobs also now no longer cut all their contents and rebuild
the entire mob, they don't carry overlays at all (so we don't have the
problems that come along with it, like clothing sprites from clothes
that don't exist).
- As a minor detail, makes DuplicateObject use snake_case instead, and
makes duplicate_forbidden_vars protected.
- Removes copy_contents_to because it's unused. It was originally meant
for Holodeck, but holodecks now use map templates so it's no longer used
in-game.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/42212

inspecting cards to check.

## About The Pull Request
Wow we're finally here. This turns carp into Basic Mobs instead of
Simple Animals.
They use a variety of behaviours added in previous PRs to act in a
marginally more interesting way than they used to.
But don't worry there's still 2 or 3 PRs to follow this one until I'm
done with space fish.
Changes in this PR:
Carp will try to run away if they get below 50% health, to make use of
their "regenerate if not attacked" component.
Magicarp have different targetting behaviour for spells depending on
their spell;
- Ressurecting Carp will try to ressurect allied mobs.
- Animating Carp will try to animate nearby objects.
- Door-creating Carp will try to turn nearby walls into doors.
You can order Magicarp to cast their spell on something if you happen to
manage to tame one.
The eating element now has support for "getting hurt" when you eat
something. Carp eating can rings and hating it was too soulful not to
continue supporting.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Carp are iconic beasts and I think they should be more interesting.
Also we just want to turn mobs into basic mobs anyway.

add: Tame Magicarp can be ordered to use their spells on things.
refactor: Carp are now "Basic Mobs" instead of "Simple Mobs"
fix: Dehydrated carp no longer give you a bad feeling when they're your
friend and a good feeling when they're going to attack you.
balance: Tamed carp are now friendly only to their tamer rather than
their whole faction, which should make dehydrated carp more active.
Order them to stay or follow you if you want them to behave around your
friends.

## About The Pull Request
i did this with #59355 to fix a bug but it breaks guarantees with
baseturfs. now they arent broken.
## Why It's Good For The Game
this probably causes bugs under some conditions
This one is fun.
On every /turf/Initialize and /atom/Initialize, we try to set
`smoothing_groups` and `canSmoothWith` to a cached list of bitfields. At
the type level, these are specified as lists of IDs, which are then
`Join`ed in Initialize, and retrieved from the cache (or built from
there).
The problem is that the cache only misses about 60 times, but the cache
hits more than a hundred thousand times. This means we eat the cost of
`Join` (which is very very slow, because strings + BYOND), as well as
the preliminary `length` checks, for every single atom.
Furthermore, as you might remember, if you have any list variable set on
a type, it'll create a hidden `(init)` proc to create the list. On
turfs, that costs us about 60ms.
This PR does a cool trick where we can completely eliminate the `Join`
*and* the lists at the cost of a little more work when building the
cache.
The trick is that we replace the current type definitions with this:
```patch
- smoothing_groups = list(SMOOTH_GROUP_TURF_OPEN, SMOOTH_GROUP_FLOOR_ASH)
- canSmoothWith = list(SMOOTH_GROUP_FLOOR_ASH, SMOOTH_GROUP_CLOSED_TURFS)
+ smoothing_groups = SMOOTH_GROUP_TURF_OPEN + SMOOTH_GROUP_FLOOR_ASH
+ canSmoothWith = SMOOTH_GROUP_FLOOR_ASH + SMOOTH_GROUP_CLOSED_TURFS
```
These defines, instead of being numbers, are now segments of a string,
delimited by commas.
For instance, if ASH used to be 13, and CLOSED_TURFS used to be 37, this
used to equal `list(13, 37)`. Now, it equals `"13,37,"`.
Then, when the cache misses, we take that string, and treat it as part
of a JSON list, and decode it from there. Meaning:
```java
// Starting value
"13,37,"
// We have a trailing comma, so add a dummy value
"13,37,0"
// Make it an array
"[13,37,0]"
// Decode
list(13, 37, 0)
// Chop off the dummy value
list(13, 37) // Done!
```
This on its own eliminates 265ms *without space ruins*, with the
combined savings of turf/Initialize, atom/Initialize, and the hidden
(init) procs that no longer exist.
Furthermore, there's some other fun stuff we gain from this approach
emergently.
We previously had a difference between `S_TURF` and `S_OBJ`. The idea is
that if you have any smoothing groups with `S_OBJ`, then you will gain
the `SMOOTH_OBJ` bitflag (though note to self, I need to check that the
cost of adding this is actually worth it). This is achieved by the fact
that `S_OBJ` simply takes the last turf, and adds onto that, meaning
that if the biggest value in the sorting groups is greater than that,
then we know we're going to be smoothing to objects.
This new method provides a limitation here. BYOND has no way of
converting a number to a string at compile time, meaning that we can't
evaluate `MAX_S_TURF + offset` into a string. Instead, in order to
preserve the nice UX, `S_OBJ` now instead opts to make the numbers
negative. This means that what used to be something like:
```dm
smoothing_groups = list(SMOOTH_GROUP_ALIEN_RESIN, SMOOTH_GROUP_ALIEN_WEEDS)
```
...which may have been represented as
```dm
smoothing_groups = list(15, MAX_S_TURF + 3)
```
...will now become, at compile time:
```dm
smoothing_groups = "15,-3,"
```
Except! Because we guarantee smoothing groups are sorted through unit
testing, this is actually going to look like:
```dm
smoothing_groups = "-3,15,"
```
Meaning that we can now check if we're smoothing with objects just by
checking if `smoothing_groups[1] == "-"`, as that's the only way that is
possible. Neat!
Furthermore, though much simpler, what used to be `if
(length(smoothing_groups))` (and canSmoothWith) on every single
atom/Initialize and turf/Initialize can now be `if (smoothing_groups)`,
since empty strings are falsy. `length` is about 15% slower than doing
nothing, so in procs as hot as this, this gives some nice gains just on
its own.
For developers, very little changes. Instead of using `list`, you now
use `+`. The order might change, as `S_OBJ` now needs to come first, but
unit tests will catch you if you mess up. Also, you will notice that all
`S_OBJ` have been increased by one. This is because we used to have
`S_TURF(0)` and `S_OBJ(0)`, but with this new trick, -0 == 0, and so
they conflicted and needed to be changed.
del: Removed icon_state randomization (all but one states) from space turfs to shave a bit of time when initializing maps. This only affects those who have parallax disabled!
About The Pull Request
Made a basic version of the pet base called /mob/living/basic/pet. It's significantly more stripped down from the old simple_animal one, because its half collar stuff and...
Made the collar slot a component that you could theoretically remove from a pet to disable the behavior, or add to any other living mob as long as you set up the icon states for the collar (or not, the visuals are optional).
The corgi's collar strippable slot is now generally the pet collar slot, and in theory could be used for other pet stripping screens.
I also gutted the extra access card code from /mob/living/basic/pet as it's only being used by corgis. Having a physical ID is now just inherent to corgis, as they're the only ones that could equip it anyway.
Ported the make_babies() function from simple_animals to a new subtree and associated behavior, called /datum/ai_planning_subtree/make_babies that uses blackboards to know the animal-specific info.
Note that it's marginally improved, as the female walks to the male first instead of bluespace reproduction.
Tweaked and improved the dog AI to work as a basic mob, including making /datum/idle_behavior/idle_dog fully functional.
Made a /datum/ai_planning_subtree/random_speech/dog that pulls the dynamic speech and emotes to support dog fashion.
I've tested base collars across multiple pet types.
For dogs, I've tested general behavior, fetching, reproduction, dog fashion, and deadchat_plays, covering all the oddities I'm aware of.

So i left over some basic `/whatever/proc/format` uses in the original
PR this fixes it.
Notable exceptions to the rule:
- Paths in add_verb/remove_verb, we need full path instead of a name
there to access verb metadata so we can't use proc ref macros there.
- regex.Replace, found out that it does not accept call by name. Instead
i added new REGEX_REPLACE_HANDLER so we can at least try to mark these.
There's still leftover global procs that do not use GLOBAL_PROC_REF but
they functionally equivalent so that's for later.
I don't see any reasonable way to grep for this. But if you got any
ideas please share.
We're getting into the less than 0.1s realm of low hanging fruits now.
Decks of cards were initializing thousands of cards at once, not unlike
[paper bins](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/69586) or
[circuit components](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/69664).
Cards are more complicated than paper bins since we can't just keep a
count, and managing individual card object lifetimes is significantly
more complicated than incrementing/decrementing a number. Thus, the
logic here is slightly different.
Decks now have an `initial_cards` variable which can take card names
(which is most implementers), and for special decks, can specify an
interface that is basically a lazy function for creating a card atom.
When anything needs any real card atom, we just generate them all. The
runtime cost of this is extremely small, and affects neither dev cycles
(the motivation for the change) or ongoing rounds.
Similar vein to #37116
This is supposed to be standard, yet here we are.
SHOULDN'T change anything, but there's likely something out there that's

## About The Pull Request
Back in #64175, I reworked rabbits such that their base behavior was
just a cute fluffy snuggle monster, and not have the "easter" variant be
the default. Now that we're transitioning everything from simple_animal
to basic, I figured now was the time to shift that over too.
Pretty much everything should be the same as it was before, I even took
some time to add behavior to some elements to allow it to work (let me
know if I should handle it a different way) but rabbits as a
simple_animal and rabbits as a basic mob should now not be very
distinguishable (beyond the fact that they only speak via subtrees).
I also got rid of the single-letter icon_states in the DMI and
accomodated the code to fix because I finally got irritated enough to do
something about that.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Although I didn't really have any pressing urge to add more complex AI
behavior to rabbits than just pretty much re-implementing what they had
as a simple_animal, this is an excellent first-step to allowing much
more extensible behaviors to these fuzzy creatures.
Also, it takes three more mobs off "the frozen list". Whoopie!

The UpdatePaths is useless for the maps we have on our repository
(holodecks use a spawner code-side), but I'm going to be nice to
downstreams who need it.
Makes the code compatible with 515.1594+
Few simple changes and one very painful one.
Let's start with the easy:
* puts call behind `LIBCALL` define, so call_ext is properly used in 515
* Adds `NAMEOF_STATIC(_,X)` macro for nameof in static definitions since
src is now invalid there.
* Fixes tgui and devserver. From 515 onward the tmp3333{procid} cache
directory is not appened to base path in browser controls so we don't
check for it in base js and put the dev server dummy window file in
actual directory not the byond root.
* Renames the few things that had /final/ in typepath to ultimate since
final is a new keyword
And the very painful change:
`.proc/whatever` format is no longer valid, so we're replacing it with
new nameof() function. All this wrapped in three new macros.
`PROC_REF(X)`,`TYPE_PROC_REF(TYPE,X)`,`GLOBAL_PROC_REF(X)`. Global is
not actually necessary but if we get nameof that does not allow globals
it would be nice validation.
This is pretty unwieldy but there's no real alternative.
If you notice anything weird in the commits let me know because majority
was done with regex replace.
@tgstation/commit-access Since the .proc/stuff is pretty big change.

* 'optimizes' space transitions by like 0.06 seconds, makes them easier to read tho, so that's an upside
* ''''optimizes'''' parsed map loading
I'm honestly not sure how big a difference this makes, looked like small
percentage points if anything
It's a bit more internally concistent at least, which is nice. Also I
understand the system now.
I'd like to think it helped but I think this is kinda a "do you think
it's easier to read" sort of situation. if it did help it was by the
skin of its teeth
* Saves 0.6 seconds off loading meta and lavaland's map files
This is just a lot of micro stuff.
1: Bound checks don't need to be inside for loops, we can instead bound the iteration counts
2: TGM and DMM are parsed differently. in dmm a grid_set is one z level,
in tgm it's one collumn. Realizing this allows you to skip copytexts and
other such silly in the tgm implemenentation, saving a good bit of time
3: Min/max bounds do not need to be checked inside for loops, and can
instead be handled outside of them, because we know the order of x
and y iteration. This saves 0.2 seconds
I may or may not have made the code harder to read, if so let me know
and I'll check it over.
* Micro ops key caching significantly. Fixes macros bug
inserting \ into a dmm with no valid target would just less then loop
the string. Dumb
Anyway, optimizations. I save a LOT of time by not needing to call
find_next_delimiter_position for every entry and var set. (like maybe 0.5
seconds, not totally sure)
I save this by using splittext, which is significantly faster. this
would cause parsing issues if you could embed \n into dmms, but you
can't, so I'm safe.
Lemme see uh, lots of little things, stuff that's suboptimal or could be
done cheaper. Some "hey you and I both know a \" is 2 chars long sort of
stuff
I removed trim_text because the quote trimming was never actually used,
and the space trimming was slower then using the code in trim. I also
micro'd trim to save a bit of time. this saves another maybe 0.5.
Few other things, I think that's the main of it. Gives me the fuzzy
feelings
* Saves 50% of build_coordinate's time
Micro optimizing go brrrrr
I made turf_blacklist an assoc list rather then just a normal one, so
lookups are O(log n) instead of O(n). Also it's faster for the base case
of loading mostly space.
Instead of toggling the map loader right before and right after New()
calls, we toggle at the start of mapload, and disable then reenable if
we check tick. This saves like 0.3 seconds
Rather then tracking an area cache ourselves, and needing to pass it
around, we use a locally static list to reference the global list of
area -> type. This is much faster, if slightly fragile.
Rather then checking for a null turf at every line, we do it at the
start of the proc and not after. Faster this way, tho it can in theory
drop area vvs.
Avoids calling world.preloader_setup unless we actually have a unique
set of attributes. We use another static list to make this comparison
cheap. This saves another 0.3
Rather then checking for area paths in the turf logic, or vis versa, we
assume we are creating the type implied by the index we're reading off.
So only the last type entry will be loaded like a turf, etc.
This is slightly unsafe but saves a good bit of time, and will properly
error on fucked maps.
Also, rather then using a datum to hold preloader vars, we use 2 global
variables. This is faster.
This marks the end of my optimizations for direct maploading. I've
reduced the cost of loading a map by more then 50% now. Get owned.
* Adds a define for maploading tick check
* makes shuttles load again, removes some of the hard limits I had on the reader for profiling
* Macro ops cave generation
Cave generation was insanely more expensive then it had any right to be.
Maybe 0.5 seconds was saved off not doing a range(12) for EVERY SPAWNED
MOB.
0.14 was saved off using expanded weighted lists (A new idea of mine)
This is useful because I can take a weighted list, and condense it into
weight * path count. This is more memory heavy, and costs more to
create, but is so much faster then the proc.
I also added a naive implementation of gcd to make this a bit less bad.
It's not great, but it'll do for this usecase.
Oh and I changed some ChangeTurfs into New()s. I'm still not entirely
sure what the core difference between the two is, but it seems to work
fine.
I believe it's safe because the turf below us hasn't init'd yet, there's
nothing to take from them. It's like 3 seconds faster too so I'll be sad
when it turns out I'm being dumb
* Micros river spawning
This uses the same sort of concepts as the last change, mostly New being
preferable to ChangeTurf at this level of code.
This bit isn't nearly as detailed as the last few, I honestly got a bit
tired. It's still like 0.4 seconds saved tho
* Micros ruin loading
Turns out it saves time if you don't check area type for every tile on a
ruin. Not a whole ton faster, like 0.03, but faster.
Saves even more time (0.1) to not iterate all your ruin's turfs 3 times
to clear away lavaland mobs, when you're IN SPACE who wrote this.
Oh it also saves time to only pull your turf list once, rather then 3
times
