The default "threaten" timer was 3 seconds, meaning that as soon as world.time advanced beyond that, the merc would shoot you. If there's TIDI/lag or other issues, you'd immediately end up getting shot.
30 seconds is more reasonable, allows you time to back away from the merc without being shot at, and it keeps the mercs from being cheesed easily.
This also fixes the merc aggression sounds. Actual voicelines incoming once I get help from a contributor!
Mercs are also SMART now and will not move if confused/disoriented.
* Adds Spice Mod to species.dm, Makes Frost Oil COLD
~~Spice Resistance traits in the same flavor as Booze traits.
3x, 2x, 1.5x, 0.75x, 0.5x, 0.25x resistance to the effects of capsaicin and frost oil.~~
^ Above changes inapplicable, but you can add traits yourselves if you're interested. Not sure how Polaris does their traits vs Virgo.
- Frost Oil and Capsaicin will now **lower/increase your body temperature by a random amount** during the ingest step if you're over the danger threshold.
- var/spice_mod is added to the species datums, much like alcohol mod.
- Frost Oil will now remove 5 capsaicin on affect_ingest much like capsaicin would remove 5 frostoil.
Not much else to say.
* Forgot the M.Species.
* Removes IS_ALRAUNE from Frostoil
Adds a Random Ambience Frequency and Ambience Chance Setting under Global, underneath Client FPS. Images here:



Self-explanatory. Random-Ambience-Frequency controls how long before it checks if it can play ambience to you again. Setting it to 0 disables the random re-play of ambience.
Ambience Chance affects the % chance to play ambience to your client. It defaults to 35%, but can be set from 0 to 100 to disable it or always play every time you move into an area or have the Random Ambience check called.

* Mulebot and vehicle updates - they now run over mobs!
* Remove unneeded safety check, and lying check
* Fix Mulebots running over themselves, fix runtime with blood.dm
Fixes mice having no melee damage stats, meaning they just inherited the default values, which are apparently enough to one-click delete lockers and crates and stuff like that.
* Begins work on internal exosuit components, similar to Borgs.
* Large volume of work on exosuit components, Durand is tweaked to be higher cost in time and resources, since it requires AP to damage, without ions or explosives.
* Component Sprites
* Actually implement component repair, I knew I missed something.
* Magic numbers, properly typed lists, and indentations oh my
