Time-Green a915c7167e Refactors species stomach code, makes ethereal charge inherent to their stomach (#59801)
A stomach would literally just ask the species datum how to be hungry and made a bunch of exceptions for ethereals. I mostly just moved code around so that hunger is handled by a persons stomach, thus shrinking the species.dm bloat.

This also makes it so ethereal's charge mechanic is unique to their stomache, instead of this really weird inbetween where just nothing happens and you kinda starve to death. You can stick an ethereal stomach in a human and this will replace their hunger mechanic with the charge mechanic and lets them absorb power from APCs and everything. You can also give ethereals a normal stomach and they'll use the normal hunger mechanics

Datum Component System (DCS)

Concept

Loosely adapted from /vg/. This is an entity component system for adding behaviours to datums when inheritance doesn't quite cut it. By using signals and events instead of direct inheritance, you can inject behaviours without hacky overloads. It requires a different method of thinking, but is not hard to use correctly. If a behaviour can have application across more than one thing. Make it generic, make it a component. Atom/mob/obj event? Give it a signal, and forward it's arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.
