About The Pull Request
dreamseeker_2020-06-01_03-34-53.png
A while ago I read a book about people and robots and emotions, Alone Together by Sherry Turkle, and there's one passage that talks about people's reactions to robots simulating distress, specifically with how Furbies cry when you hold them upside down.
A person is asked to invert three creatures: a Barbie doll, a Furby, and a biological gerbil. [Freedom] Baird's question is simple: "How long can you hold the object upside down before your emotions make you turn it back?"
People are surprised by how upset they get in this theater of distress. And then they get upset that they are upset. They often try to reassure themselves, saying things like, “Chill, chill, it’s only a toy!” They are experiencing something new: you can feel bad about yourself for how you behave with a computer program. Adults come to the upside-down test knowing two things: the Furby is a machine and they are not torturers. By the end, with a whimpering Furby in tow, they are on new ethical terrain.
Ethics memes aside, the idea off people being caught off guard at their guilt for causing harm to inanimate objects is really funny to me, and feels extra relevant to SS13. Considering people already regularly get in fights and maim each other over harming station pets, I picture this being a great source of arguments and fights ICly over what torturing a cute lil' medbot says about you.
tl;dr this PR lets you tip over medbots which prevents them from moving or healing, and they'll slowly get more and more distressed and desperate asking for help from people around them. After a few minutes, if no one helps right them, they'll manage to right themselves up and snitch on whoever tipped them over to medical so the psychologist can keep an eye on them.

Why It's Good For The Game
Gives the psychologist more ammo to call people crazy, gives bored assistants another way to seek attention, provides source of minor IC conflict

I'd like to get voicelines for these as well, but I wasn't sure of a good TTS generator, and also wanted to see if people think this is worth doing before devoting too much time to it.
About The Pull Request
Medbots now only heal brute unless they are built with a special medkit. Thanks to tlal for the simpler alternative.
Brute kits heal 10% more brute than normal medbots.
Advanced kits can be used to build pre-nerf variants of the medbots (they heal all damage types). What they heal each iteration is random though (if you could be treated for brute/tox, you may get tox healed first).
This is specific to the craftable medbots, derelict medbots and beserk medbots will heal "normally" (see above since order has been randomized).
Why It's Good For The Game
Makes the bots hyperspecified to a function which is in line with how other bots function without having to revamp how people use the medbot.

About The Pull Request
It simply adds a new Modular Console Preset to the existing ones, fully outfitted to replace the current Identification Console in the Head of Personnel's Office and in the Bridge, and in most of the maps' Customs desks. Note that it doesn't replace them, it's just an asset right now so we can replace them with another PR, at the pace the map maintainers feel confident with. It has the ID Card Modification, Job Manager and Crew Manifest softwares on it by default, alongside the regular Chat Client.
The new Modular Console Preset can be found under /obj/machinery/modular_computer/console/preset/id, for all your map editing needs.
I'm planning to see if I can't make changes to the Departmental Consoles later on as well, so we basically can get rid of a console in every Head of Staff's office (except the HoP because there's only one), but that will require some additional coding to make it so it's not straight up some Identification Consoles that people with All-Access could use to print even more All-Access cards.
Why It's Good For The Game
I've basically just implemented something that I feel was meant to be implemented a while ago through the use of TGUI and Modular Computers, but never actually got done. The console doesn't have the glitches of the current Identification console, when you remove your ID after logging in and it just goes to a page saying that the address couldn't be found. The UI is much simpler, looks a lot better and is just overall an improvement.
Here's what the new UI looks like, for those of you that don't feel like checking out the PR in-game to know what it looks like:

About The Pull Request
This is a three-part PR:
Firstly, it fixes bugs for hygienebot construction. There were two present that mostly cancelled each other out: first, temporarilyRemoveItemFromInventory expects that the item passed to it will be deleted shortly after. It removes the item from mob's hands but keeps loc in the mob. Hygienebots are using a stack in their construction, so the assumption was not correct. The tubing stack appeared deleted (it was actually hidden). Second, do_after was written wrongly and would allow people to build hygienebots without consuming any tubing, if not for the first bug removing it. Their sprites were also moved to other bots.
Secondly, I added a proximity sensor into construction. I know bots are powered by magic and coder tears, but building it out of two metal sheets, a hole, and a tube is ridiculous even for those standards. Also literally every single bot uses proximity sensors. This change will make them less spammable, because I've seen upwards of 10 being build for the funzies.
Thirdly, I nerfed the hygienebots themselves. First, they no longer start slipping everything in their path when they're chasing someone for 5 seconds. This is stupid, no other bot is as disruptive as that, it doesn't make sense to give them slipping everything in their path as a part of normal operation. Combined with hygienebot spam, this was just shitty all-around. They still slip the tile they clean, but no more than that. Second, I made them less spammy; instead of a flat 60% chance to yell at people, it slowly increases to that number. I removed the vasectomy line (WTF?). Finally, they will now drop their target if it gets too far; previously they'd chase it forever.
Fixes#50159#50191 - not fully fixed
Fixes#50339
Why It's Good For The Game
It requires about 0.7 brain cells and autolathe access to make slipper go brr, and there's no abundance of greyshirts in bloody shoes running around and turning station's hallways into a mass slip'n'slide.
Changelog
🆑
fix: Hygienebot construction has been fixed.
balance: Hygienebots now require a proximity sensor between welding and tubing.
balance: Hygienebots no longer slip their path while chasing someone.
balance: Hygienebots are less spammy.

About The Pull Request
Re-PR of #51027 due to a git hiccup.
Adds tarot cards, for business and pleasure. The tarot deck consists of 78 cards, split into 56 Minor Arcana cards (each suit consists of 10 number cards, and 4 face cards) and 22 Major Arcana cards. The deck has new art:
minorarcana
majorarcana
Special thanks to Fikou for deciding which jobs should correspond to each of the Major Arcana.
Why It's Good For The Game
It's a fun distraction from the dull humdrum of station life, and opens up some good RP opportunities.
Changelog
cl Inept
add: The Nanotrasen Entertainment Division has released a new product: Tarot cards! They're available from the Fun vendor for all your divination needs.
/cl
update_static_data now passes user to push_data().
I'm pretty sure no UIs currently use user in ui_static_data for... Anything. So that's why no one noticed this before. Well, better to pass it than not.
cl
refactor: BSQL has been replaced with rust-g, improving SQL reliability and safety.
/cl
Queries were parameterized as much as possible. Careful code read by someone else also versed in SQL would be a good idea. Things seemed fine spot-testing roundstart, library, bans, and polls, but more stress-testing may be useful.
Also updates rust-g to v0.4.5:
Improved Linux .so detection
Perlin noise functions
Also updates Travis script to bionic.
