Because starting money is pretty much all it affects, anyway. Instead of just being used to measure NT's opinion of you, you now choose income categories to fall under. This still affects how much money you start with, with the highest category giving a 1.3x modifier, but the lowest has been lowered to 0.5 times. Now you can start with even less money than before.
Currently doesn't change the "this person might be willing to help you" message for traitors, but it would be easy to do something different with that if requested.
Melee weapons can now potentially attack from farther away.
Obstacles are taken into account, so you cannot hit people through windows, but you can attack over specific things such as tables, or other people.
Currently only the spear can do this, with a range of two tiles, however the attack speed for the spear was reduced, so it may remain a situational weapon.
The intention for this is to make specific weapons feel different to each other besides 'does more damage', and I got ideas on other kinds of weapon adjustments later to make them feel a bit more unique.
Simple animals now use the base health system that most other mobs use.
Fixes a bunch of Destroy()s so that they should qdel properly.
Mend Synthetic can heal synthetic simple animals.
Adds attack and spellcast animations to the golem.
Adds system to manually flick because byond is stupid sometimes.
Removes shield and reflect spells from the golem since SAs can't use shields at the moment.
Adds more helpful spells to the golem.
Golem and the Lost Drone now use the 'synthetic_evil' speech bubble.
Pink Slime Aura and Mend Synthetic (technomancer) should now fix FBPs again.
Adds procs to get the 'real' number of damage from humans, including limb damage on prosthetic limbs.
Slime following made a bit more robust, slimes (and other simple animals) stop wandering when following.
Slimes following a leader that passes the can_command() check will refrain from attacking things if not attacked first.
Slime kill command implemented, requires the slime to be in your faction or be the slime's friend, and not just obedient. This can be accomplished with end-game slime agents.
Slimes require three 'free' tiles to split, which should prevent super overcrowed cells and by extension avoid Amber Tide from crashing the mob controller.
Dark Blue Cold Aura now properly adjusts temperature based on protection gradually instead of instantly setting to the lowest value.
