- In short, delamination changed to more or less mirror effects it has on Bay.
- All of the new delamination effects can be easily tweaked in the future using set of defines.
- In general, aim is to make supermatter delamination a more or less "recoverable" event with enough materials and manpower. Before it was just a mangled irrepairable mess of scuttled steel.
- This brings a LOT of performance improvements and runtime error fixes (grav pull of anchored items which were never meant to move tends to cause runtimes)
Detailed changes:
- Supermatter (and also S5/S6 singularity in the event someone manages to build one, they share the proc) no longer pull anchored items. This brings a MASSIVE reduction in delamination lag (from few second freezes to quite smooth) and prevents things from breaking (i saw dozens of various runtimes when delamination occured as it forcibly dragged things around that weren't supposed to be dragged).
- Delamination crashes the station's power grid, shutting down all APCs for few minutes. Critical areas get shut down only for fraction of that time (we don't want to one-hit the AI). This includes healthcare facilities, which are likely to be very important given the other effects.
- Delamination irradiates and briefly weakens all mobs on the station (not only on the same Z level). I have verified that this is enough to kill an unprotected human if no kind of medical care (at least dylovene, ideally something against rads) is administered.
- Delamination will break a bunch of lights. Nuisance, but easily repairable. Adds to the atmosphere.
- Delamination breaks part of the solar arrays, reducing their output by roughly 60%. This is way less than required to run the station. Puts more emphasis on delamination being engineering-centric emergency, with power rationing being a necessity until solars can be fixed, or other power source secured. Rewards engineering if they managed to stockpile some energy in the SMESes around the station.
- Delamination's explosion is quite weaker than it used to be. It should still be enough to pretty much destroy the engine room (see attached screenshots below), and cause some minor damage in adjacent rooms. It should still, however, be repairable with enough resources and some time.
- Supermatter no longer has additional 99% flat modifier to miss a station Z level when ejected. Emergency core ejection is a last resort measure. It does have its risks. With other changes in this PR, delamination on outer hull is significantly less dangerous than it would be before. It still has various secondary risks, however, such as the radiation or temporary power outage, but with considerably mitigated damage (explosion in space, mostly on outer grilles is generally weaker)

- This mirrors original sources from Bay. Nano file was apparently moved from there, but code file was not.
- As for intent of this function (i coded it originally on Bay), EPR can be considered "Amount of canisters worth of gas in the core chamber", hence the weird 23.1 constant. Unlike pressure reading, this does not change with temperature, so it can be used to accurately monitor actual amount of gas in the chamber without having to take temperature in effect.
- I know the constant is kind of shady. It could possibly be recalculated using atmos constants, but i suck at math too much to do that. If anyone who knows atmos math can find a better alternative, i will gladly toss it in instead.
- This will let us react to the change appropriately.
- While we're here, lets define some constants so we can stop using bare numbers.
- Always use those constants when calling update_use_power()

Removes a very large amount of world loops.
Adds a macro to painlessly generate a global list, and the needed code to modify the list when an object is made or deleted automatically.
Cleans up some commented out code.
* Fixes#4632.
