tralezab d86ae35931 Fish update just dropped. New fish, aquarium type, two traits and a research node. (#83508)
## About The Pull Request

### New fish

#### anxious zipzap
An incredibly anxiety-ridden and electroreceptive fish. Worried about
the walls of its tank closing in constantly. Both literally and as a
general metaphorical unease about life's direction.

It produces electricity, and HATES being with any other fish. One other
zipzap is allowed at most.

#### monocloning jumpercable
A surprisingly useful if nasty looking creation from the syndicate fish
labs. Drop one in a tank, and watch it self-feed and multiply. Generates
more and more power as a growing swarm!

A far better option for power generation than the zipzap, but it's a
syndicate fish. Get an emag or get very lucky!

### Aquarium type

Bioelectricity Generator! It boosts the power of electroreceptive fish
to very dangerous levels! But, uh, you put a tesla coil, and voila! Free
power! ...Free power if you keep the fish fed! More fish, more power!

You can convert an aquarium into a bioelectricity generator by
researching the new node, "Marine Utility", from bio processing. Then
you build the biogen upgrade kit and apply it to an already existing
aquarium.

### Fish Traits

#### Electrogenesis

Trait turns the fish into a shock weapon while it's alive, and every
time it feeds, it releases a weak tesla bolt to anyone close to the
tank.

#### Anxiety

anxious fish die when any other fish are in the tank. Please keep them
alone :[

## Why It's Good For The Game

Fish are great, but fish don't have anything to give back to the
station, right? Well, there's some small stuff, but I wanted to add a
bit of functionality towards being able to benefit from having fish.

The anxiety trait with the zipzap gives spessmen a bit of a challenge.
You can settle for one fish generating power per tank and do a
multi-tank generation setup, or you can do some crossbreeding to make a
fish WITH electroreceptive but WITHOUT anxiety. Neat!
