* Machines can't be used by clowns.
The old system was unfair, only the carbons or the silicons amongst us were allowed to use computers or see the internet. Or adjust the thermostat. But no longer. But changing this area here, it lets any mob with "has_hands = TRUE" use the objects they should be allowed to..
* simple_mob Revolution
Allows simple mobs to interact with nanoUI if they have "have_hands = TRUE".
* Revert "Machines can't be used by clowns."
This reverts commit 3cb16f57c0986e492c8f247598fc74773cebea63.
* Moves patch.
Moves Patch to default_vr.dm
* Adds missing part to machinery fix.
Fixes my dummy mistake and effectively unreverts the original commit.
- Instead of using auto_use_power to re-tally up machinery's power usage every cycle, track the steady "static" load separately from the transient "oneoff" usage. Machines then only need to inform the area when they use oneoff power or *change* their steady usage.
- Remove auto_use_power and stop SSmachines from calling it.
- Add vars to track "static" usage for each of the three power channels to /area
- Rename the existing three vars to "oneoff" so its clear what they mean (and to catch people accidentally updating them directly)
- Update area power procs and APCs to use the new variables.
- Rename /area/proc/use_power() to use_power_oneoff() to make it clear what it is doing.
- Deprecate /obj/machinery/use_power() in favor of use_power_oneoff() but don't delete yet. Can transition gradually.
- Add logic to the update_power procs on machines to calculate the deltas and update static area power whenever their usage changes.
- Add logic to machines to update area power when they are created, destroyed, or move.
- Moved /obj/machinery procs related to area power usage into machinery_power.dm to make them easier to find.
- Added or updated comments in several places to explain what is going on and how to use it.
- Adds the update_idle_power_usage() and update_active_power_usage() procs for the respective vars.
- Switches all places modifying those vars directly to call the procs instead.
- This will let us react to the change appropriately, paving the way towards static area power.
- Adds update_power_channel proc for the sake of completeness, but no machines actually modify it so far.
* Renaming local var 'machines' to avoid confusion with the global var of same name.
* Delete the unused process scheduler machinery.dm file. Long since replaced with SSmachines
* Split and clarify global lists of processing vs non-processing machinery.
- Renamed the list of processing machinery from "machines" to "processing_machines"
- Added new global list "machines" to be a list of all machines.
- Since nearly every reference to machines actually wanted to iterate over all machines anyway, this works out great.
