## About The Pull Request This PR adds some tweaks to make custom shuttles a bit easier to use, and more useful. - The station blueprints can be used to allow/forbid custom shuttle docking in station/custom areas. Custom areas allow shuttle docking by default, while station areas (apart from the asteroid) forbid it. - A station area that allows shuttle docking can have a shuttle built/expanded in it, as long as the area's APC isn't contained within the frame used to construct/expand the shuttle. - A shuttle frame does not need to contain the entirety of a custom area, unless that frame contains the area's APC. If the frame doesn't contain the entirety of the custom area, that section of the frame becomes part of the default area, instead of a separate area. - Custom shuttles will go off into the sunset at the end of the round, as long as they have a welded engine. - I think I saw a bug that caused engines to contribute twice the intended power to the attached shuttle, possibly creating an exploit in the case where the engine was broken while welded. I fixed that. - Custom shuttle docking computers can cross over to any z-level adjacent to the shuttle's z-level (or vertically-connected z-levels, because docking computers can traverse stacked z-levels freely). This is based on the new `zlink_range` var on all shuttle docking consoles, which can be var-edited to provide the same functionality. - Shuttle engines constructed from circuits now link to shuttles without needing to be unanchored and reanchored. ## Why It's Good For The Game The tweaks to shuttle construction and docking serve to address several gripes I heard about players not being able to build/dock custom shuttles in station areas. The means to do this have been locked behind possession of the station blueprints. I don't see what problem there would be with allowing custom shuttles to leave the station at the end of the round, but I could lock it behind a particular action (antag-exclusive or otherwise). Custom shuttles don't quite have as much utility if you have to manually travel to z-levels to drop off gigabeacons. Jumping to adjacent z-levels one at a time is a bit more useful for space exploration. ## Changelog 🆑 add: The station blueprints can be used to toggle whether custom shuttles can be built/expanded/docked within station areas. qol: Custom areas do not have to be completely contained within shuttle frames, as long as the APC isn't attached to the frame. add: Custom shuttles with functioning engines will fly off into the sunset when the emergency shuttle leaves. add: Custom shuttle navigation computers can view space levels adjacent to the one the shuttle is currently docked at. fix: Constructed shuttle engines no longer contribute twice as much engine power to shuttles, nor can they be used to add unlimited shuttle power. fix: Constructed shuttle engines now connect to shuttles when build, rather than needing to be unachored and then reanchored. /🆑
