About The Pull Request
Adds an ammo system and printable ammunition to most mech weapons with a "rearm" function. Replaces the old system of generating ammo at a power cost. With the exception of the missile launcher and clusterbang launcher, all affected weapons have a storage capacity of ammunition equal to four-times the amount of ammo that the weapon can load (though the storage cache starts with only one full reload when printed from the mechfab). Ammo boxes are printed from the mechfab and also are available in the Sec protolathe, and each box will carry exactly one full reload. Ammo boxes are not terribly expensive, but reloading requires either an ally on foot to pop the ammo box in, or for you to hop out and do it yourself.
Missile tubes and the clusterbang launcher do not have an ammo storage cache, and so reloading them will reload the tubes directly. This is not the full extent of nerfs that the missiles need (I will do those in a separate PR since I suspect this one will be controversial) (read below), but removing the ability to reload missile pods without an ally or exiting the mech may help a bit.
The SRM-8 has been replaced with the new BRM-6 in tech webs. The BRM carries a smaller explosion and does not explode unless hitting a wall, door, shutter, or another mech, and only has six shots. The SRM-8 remains on the Mauler mech. If the BRM missile does not explode, it will deal 30 brute damage instead, and break.
Why It's Good For The Game
Currently, mech ballistic weapons function like reloadable lasers. You have an ammo counter, but it's one hundred percent based on your energy cell. This gives some flavor to ballistic weapons, making them actually feel different, and gives them a mini-niche in the form of good choices to use alongside an energy-draining mech ability (like the Gygax speed).
Use lasers when you won't need to worry about power and/or need burn damage.
Use ballistics when you want to save power and/or need brute damage.
The SRM-8 to BRM-6 change is being done here so that I don't have to wait until this PR is merged before starting it. The idea is to keep the reasons why you'd want to build a missile launcher (wall breaking and mech fighting) without also outclassing most other weapons burst damage potential. I'm not truly happy that the explosions deal zero damage to surrounding people even one tile away, but dealing no damage is better than the massive damage + stun that the current missile launcher does. Nuke Mauler has the old launcher, since I believe the consensus is that Nukie Mechs are already not generally worth the money.
Changelog
cl
balance: Mecha ballistics weapons now require ammo created from an Exosuit Fabricator or the Security Protolathe, though they will start with a full magazine and in most cases enough for one full reload. Reloading these weapons no longer chunks your power cell. Clown (and mime) mecha equipment have not changed.
balance: The SRM-8 Missile Launcher has been replaced with the BRM-6 Breaching Missile Launcher in techwebs (Nukie Mauler remains equipped with the SRM-8).
balance: Both Missile Launchers and the Clusterbang Launcher do not have an ammo cache, and cannot be reloaded by the pilot. Once the initial loaded ammo has been spent, you can use the appropriate ammo box to load the weapon directly.
add: Utility mechs that have a clamp equipped can load ammo from their own cargo hold into other mechs.
add: Nuke Ops can purchase spare ammo duffel bags for their mecha weapons, should they run low.
/cl
To-Do:
Add ammo to security protolathe
Get better ammo box sprites (hopefully)
Possibly adjust ammo counts for balance. Might make the flashbang launcher and/or cluster launcher behave like the missile pod.
Add functionality for the utility mechs to use clamps to load ammo from their cargo hold into another mech.
Ammo counts, for anyone wondering:
Weapon Magazine Size Total ammo at start* Maximum total ammo*
Scattershot† 40 (10) 80 (20) 200 (50)
Hades 24 48 120
Ultra AC 2† 300 (100) 600 (200) 1500 (500)
BRM-6 Missile Rack 6 6 6
SRM-8 Missile Rack 8 8 8
Flashbang Launcher 6 12 30
Cluster Launcher 3 3 3
*Total ammo is the amount in the weapon's magazine plus the stored ammo.
†The Scattershot lists its ammo as 40, but uses four per shot. So in reality, a single full reload gives you ten shots. Similarly, the UAC2 fires in three-round bursts, and so 300 rounds is 100 bursts.
Clown weapons (and the mime weapon) are all unaffected by this change.
Cables now autoconnect on cardinal directions. All cable placement has been completely stripped out and replaced with simple single cable per tile logic.
Low effort demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXp8s6ORWbA
Yes I am aware that cutting it is not dropping wire, that version was bugged.
Cables no longer need a knot specifically placed to link to power objects. The sprite is automatically changed to represent this.
The only exception to this logic is that on smes units, due to the terminal being next to the output, they will not link there.
On a technical powernet side, this is the same as old cables once actually placed. They still use the existing powernet system, just the placement and connection works differently.
Old cables have been turned into "pipe cleaners" for wire art purposes. they work just like the old ones, just missing all the powernet functionality, and also you can put them on top of the floor.
Why It's Good For The Game
How obnoxious cables were to both map and work with in game has been something that has annoyed me for a really long time now.
This is both easier for new players to learn, and easier for experienced players to work with.
Along with making in game much more intuitive and easier, it makes mapping much easier as well. Mad lad wjohn was able to rip out all the mapping conversion in one day because of how much faster it is to work with.
cl actioninja and wjohn
add: Cables have been completely reworked. Simple per tile connection logic, automatically connects to things above it. Think minecraft redstone.
add: Old cables have been kept as pipe cleaner. They are non-functional in terms of power, but otherwise have the same connection logic. Also can go on top of tiles.
remove: mech cable layer has been removed because it was terrible shitcode nobody used
tweak: (sort of balance) cable stack sized has been reduced to 15.

- All combat mechs now start with a tracking beacon pre-installed.
Tracking beacons no longer self-destruct when EMPing a mech from the console.
Tracking beacons now do an EMP_HEAVY instead of an EMP_LIGHT.
Taking any EMP damage now disables mech equipment/weapons for three seconds (refreshes on further - EMP damage, does not stack). During this time, if the user is in a combat mech, their mouse circle changes from green to red, and an error message from the mech is given to the pilot. At the end of the duration, the mouse swaps back to green and a sound beep is played.
Why It's Good For The Game
Adds some counter-play against mechs without making them nearly impossible to build. Hostile mechs can, of course, remove the console, but this is an obviously deliberate action, and more consoles can be created by printing the boards from any of the three circuit imprinters. Additionally, the weapons disable time means that fighting one with an ion rifle is a lot less dangerous if you can get a shot in before getting killed.
Non-combat mechs are not automatically beacon'd to allow traitor roboticists a workaround in the form of the Hidden Weapons Bay. They do, however, still temporarily lose use of their equipment when getting ion'd/EMP'd.
Changelog
cl
balance: Utility mechs no longer automatically get beacons.
balance: Tracking beacons no longer delete themselves when EMPing a mech, and instead have a ten-second cooldown in-between EMPs. They also now do heavy EMP damage rather than light.
balance: Mechs that take EMP damage lose the use of their weapons and equipment temporarily. Movement and abilities are not effected.
balance: Mechs taking EMP damage no longer roll for a random malfunction.
/cl
I'm not done with mechs yet, I have plans for changing how weapons work (specifically physical projectile weapons). But this is a good starting place, and hopefully makes rogue mechs less of a pain in the ass while not restricting their creation and use against blobs/xenos/whatever.
