* Adds support for non-science techwebs (+Config) (#71070) ## About The Pull Request This is an expanding of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/69708 Adds a config to not connect machines to a techweb at the start of a round Adds the ability to multitool a server to get its techweb in its buffer, which can then be used on machines to sync them. Adds support for some machines to not cry when they don't have a techweb linked to it, in case they actually don't. If the config to not have machines connected to the science server is enabled, research servers will make their own techwebs instead. This is barebones though and would need more work if this option is used. For misc stuff: - I replaced checking ``GLOB.machines`` for research servers, to instead check ``SSresearch.servers``, where we can use ``as anything``. - Removed unused vars on the RD server control - I renamed the operating computer's .dm file to remove the capitalized letter from it. It's now operating_computer instead of Operations. ## Why It's Good For The Game This is adding support for 2 different cases that can be used in the future: 1. Off-station roles, we can make roles like Oldstation have their own techweb so they don't ruin science's efforts, or use their advanced research to get things we don't want, or even possibly have some blacklist webs for ghost roles (like teleporters) so that way we don't need to have this dance where we have to give them a very specific amount of materials for them to do things while not being able to get a teleporter and leaving. I heard discussions that people wanted this a while back, and one of the main things preventing this from happening is the lack of support. Hopefully this is encouragement to make it a reality, because I think it would be a really cool expansion of ghost roles and a good way to prevent them from messing with the round in progress. 2. Downstreams who want to do different things with Science. Personally I made this PR with voidcrew(shiptest) in mind and think this would make their lives easier. I didn't expand too much on this because I'm leaving up mostly to the downstreams to figure out what they want to do with these systems. ## Changelog This generally isn't really player facing, since most of the changes would only come into effect if the config is enabled?? 🆑 fix: Research servers now only show servers connected to their techweb. /🆑 * Adds support for non-science techwebs (+Config) Co-authored-by: John Willard <53777086+JohnFulpWillard@users.noreply.github.com>
