Replaces some lockers and racks in maintenance with trash piles. They are presistent loot piles for people who just can't help but greytide. It allows people who join later in the shift to still get goodies. Each is searchable once per shift by each ckey.
They have three loot lists: alpha, beta, and gamma.
Alpha has the highest chance and just random maint stuff. All usable items (no random empty beer cans) but nothing you couldn't find elsewhere.
Beta has a lower chance of spawning and is usually contraband, mechaically useful stuff. Radio jammers and the like.
Gamma is dangerous or highly illegal contraband, and is unique. Guns (nonlethal!), teleporters, syndicate IDs, etc.
Gamma items have special handling: all of the trash piles share a gamma list, and when an item is given out from the gamma list to someone, it's de-pooled so that another trash pile won't hand it out. The pile-collective maintains a reference to it as an 'allocated' gamma item though. Then, when the gamma list runs out, it reviews allocated gamma items to find any that it might be able to 're'-distribute. Namely ones that have been deleted, or are in cryopod computers because the user left with them. It can then hand that item out again. If it cannot hand out a new gamma item, it gives beta instead.
You can also just manually put gamma-list items back into the piles if you're leaving. Or, if you find a translocator, but already made yourself one in R&D (or later make one), or you're the RD and find a bluespace harpoon, you can stuff the translocator/whatever back into any trash pile and it'll be re-pooled into all of them. You can only return gamma items this way, not beta/alpha.
Additionally, if you find yourself playing a simple animal mob for an event (or you're a mouse), you can hide in trash piles by clicking them. There's a 50% chance you're revealed if the pile is searched. You can climb out by clicking the pile again. I dunno if that'll ever get used but it was easy to code, so eh.
s = Speedloaders. (Functionally the same as clips, but they're not
_really_ the same thing, just in case we change these later.)
c = Clips. (Can also be used to fill other magazines.)
m = Magazine. (Holds ammo rounds.)
a = Ammo. (Individual rounds of ammo.)
* Swapped our loot drops and guns to keep the damage of loot and guns the same.
* Edited the c762 magazine definition back to keep the same ammo count in each magazine type as before.

My reasoning behind this request is because, aside from a small armor
pen value, a puny little .45 pistol is better in every other way to a
bolt _rifle_, and that just doesn't make any sense, and isn't very fun.
It basically just exists as a lousy gimmick right now.
This PR makes it slightly less of a gimmick and more of a weapon people
might actually use if they don't have many options. This weapon is
especially popular during cult rounds when Cargo needs some kind of
guns.
ToDo: Fix the Lever rifle to not have speedloader ability. Also, why
does the Lever rifle already use 7.62 ammo? Did anyone know this?
* Creating new objects is cheap, in fact comparable to the cost of getting it out of the pool, so it doesn't help there.
* Placing items in the pool is far more expensive than letting them garbage collect due to the resetting of vars and such.
While I was rooting around in hydroponics code, I saw that a list was being regenerated with UI interaction, so I threw the list into the plant controller.
No proper sprites for the Floral Somatoray's new mode yet, but it uses the gun sprite from mutate mode, and the projectile sprite from yield mode.
Adds a fairly simple system that allows adjusting various numbers like max health, incoming damage, outgoing melee damage, etc. The nice part is that changing certain variables this way (like max health) is a lot safer than manually setting the max health var directly.
Changes a lot of short lines of code to point towards a variable's getter or setter helper instead of reading the var directly so the modifiers can work.
Endoarmor, delayed toxin sting, Enfeebling sting, and recursive adrenaline overdose now use the modifier system.
Enfeebling sting now only lasts two minutes, from five minutes, however it now also reduces the victim's melee damage by 25%/50%, and increases the damage they suffer by 10%/35%, for normal and recursive respectively.
Delayed Toxin Sting's effects are now felt all at once instead of over the course of a few minutes.
Dual mode stun-beam and net launcher, craftable in R&D. Would be legal for security to have on green since it's non-lethal. The stun beam has 10 shots like the taser, and the net launcher has 2 (uses the same energy). So basically 5 stun+1 net, or 2 nets, or 10 stuns.
Uses a new overlay system for updating it's icon rather than the "have one state for every possible combination" to prevent a huge mess of iconstates. Maybe Joan could look at this and use it sometime.
