## About The Pull Request Now comes with a Hackmd: https://hackmd.io/ImTe5FLeTgmI7spTWKBaFQ?view In-game screenshots:    Removes the old Mining vendor console and all its bad code. Instead, the chef produce console was generalized and a NEW mining vendor is a subtype of it. If they try to Express this console, it will be 1.5x the mining points (compared to 2x for the Chef produce console atm), so it is technically possible, but it is still better to order it through Cargo. Different to the Kitchen crate, this one is a private order by the Shaft Miner, using mining points instead of Credits. Cargo CAN emitter it open, but I think that's an acceptable risk with all crates. As shown in the screenshot, Cargo will immediately know who ordered the items so knows who to call to pick it up when needed. This also means Shaft Miner's vendor is now categorized somewhat. I tried my best to make sense out of it but some items really don't make sense (laser pointer, soap...) I split the different sections of orderable items into different files for better management, and de-hardcoded it and its TGUI to make it easier for anyone who wants to add more to it. I also made the produce console use paths and added ways 'categories' to produce consoles, which indicates which sections you should and shouldn't be allowed to see. https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/71007 already did part of this but it isn't merged yet so :/ Free golems are mostly unaffected by this. Their console only works in express mode and doesn't increase the prices for it. The only downside is the cooldown. I still have some things to finish on this PR so it'll be left as draft until at least tomorrow. ## Why It's Good For The Game https://hackmd.io/ImTe5FLeTgmI7spTWKBaFQ?view 1. A large problem currently with Miners is that they don't interact with the station, this will at least help integrate them more into their own department, by making the cost of their equipment cheaper if they bother to actually go through Cargo for their gear. 2. It also means that a non functional Cargo would affect Shaft Miners too, and as they have access to the shuttle, maybe we can expect some Miners to pick up the slack if needed. 3. The old mining vendor was the ONLY vendor in the game that had infinite stock. It doesn't need a refill or anything like any other vendor, and every other vendor uses credits, mining points is just shaft miner credits. Why are they an exception? At least being ordered through the shuttle makes sense. 4. It opens the QM being able to see easier what Miners are doing, and prevents miners from hiding on Lavaland to do nothing but hunt fauna if they were meant to be demoted or something by the QM. Basically, gives the QM more control over the people working in their department. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Shaft Miner's equipment vendor now orders their equipment through the Cargo shuttle, though you can spend 1.5x the points to express it, making it a Mining version of the Chef's produce console, with a weakened express tax. /🆑
