Gives grubs a 20% change to emp a synth weakly. This is supposed to give grubs a leg up on synths that are usually quite robust when it comes to fighting mobs in general, especially when it comes to spiders.
-Yeah now the resting action should only happen in idle stance to begin with.
-Also now enemy detection contains a call to get up if resting.
-"Friendly" mail order oties now come pre-tamed kinda like the guard version.
-They still don't like actions that trigger mob retaliation in general so only pet with a friendly hand lmao
-With the lack of any in-depth borkage documentation, I felt like staying with my earlier point of the big issues being likely caused by vast numbers of these feature heavy snowflake mobs being spawned for wilderness cannonfodder en masse, which the current wildernessless build would rule out for better troubleshooting.
-People had been missing these in IC near my chars in multiple occasions recently and I didn't have the heart to tell em they were gone lmao.
-Only available via cargo orders now.
Positronic brains are already printable, so why not electronic brains? Requires a bit less research to make than posibrains, and uses no phoron or diamonds.
Mostly because the old radio-enabled MMIs were almost never used. Changes all MMIs and their subtypes (posi and drone brains) to have a radio inside of them, which can only be used when the brain is outside of a body. This radio can be used to talk over the common channel, in case you get left on a table somewhere by an absent-minded roboticist. However, the radio can also be disabled, in case an antag has you and doesn't want to to scream for help.
Since this makes the old radio-enabled MMIs obsolete, they're no longer printable(although it's still defined in the code so I don't have to touch the map file). Also fixes a telecomms runtime with brains talking over the radio.
This is being done because of the problem of MMI-type brains suddenly having access to a secure channel they can spy on when removed from a body - something they couldn't access before without a binary communication device or similar. This has been used several times against antags, usually antag AIs.
