Waterpig 6f62b50f15 Waterpig's events pt. 0 - Space dolphins! (#5157)
## About The Pull Request

Inspired by the space dolphins of yogstation, resprited and rewritten
for your gaming pleasure.

Introduces two new neutral mobs - Space Dolphins and Space Manatees

Introduces new event that spawns these mobs. A new TAG_NEUTRAL was
introduced to storyteller, and aurora caelus was moved to it.

### Space Dolphins
- 25 health
- 10 damage
- Fast movement

AI is aggressive against space carp, but otherwise neutral until
attacked.

### Space Manatees
- 150 health
- 10 damage
- Slow movement
- Doubles the speed of a vehicle when driving it:

/>

- Can't be gold extracted

AI is the same as dolphins

### Space Dolphin event
- Severity: Low/None
- Track: Moderate

Functionally identical to the space carp event, except dolphins don't
pathfind onto station. Shares the same weight and track as said event.
95% of spawns will be dolphins, with a 5% rare manatee.

The announcement message is the same as the space carp event. Reasoning
for this below.

## Why It's Good For The Game

I kept saying this back when I was maintainer, but we severely lack
event variety, both of the environmental and of the regular dangerous
kind. More events make rounds more interesting and diverse, and also
make us feel less like TG by giving our rounds a unique identity. (It
also means that in the future we can have unique storytellers that make
use of the TAG system in a cool way)

Also using meta knowledge on event announcements messes with the entire
paranoia aspect of the game, so this event fills in one possible hole of
"Oh it's space carps" and replaces it with "Shit is it space carps or
dolphins"

I have more stuff planned to expand the event pool, this is just a small
teaser. Next up will be an actual full set of 3-4 themed events of the
*magical variety*. Actual danger included. Probably in a month or
something idk [give me money](https://ko-fi.com/waterpig) to make me
work faster and maybe add an extra event :3 (I'm a sellout)

## Changelog
🆑
add: Space dolphins and space manatees might make their way to the
station. These silly space mammals are neutral, but might attack carp
they see.
image: Space dolphin and Space manatee icons
balance: Aurora caelus is now a Neutral event instead of a Positive one
inside storyteller

This folder is full of #define statements. They are similar to constants, but must come before any code that references them, and they do not take up memory the way constants do.

The values in this folder are NOT options. They are not for hosts to play with. Some of the values are arbitrary and only need to be different from similar constants; for example, the genetic mutation numbers in genetics.dm mean nothing, but MUST be distinct.

It is wise not to touch them unless you understand what they do, where they're used, and most importantly, how to undo your changes if you screw it up.
