The dish drive is a neat little machine but it has a few quirks that makes it a bit of a pain to use, so that's what I'm looking to fix.
Dish drive will still collect but no longer throw away your still perfectly usable dinnerware. Glasses are not disposable, despite what your average bar patron would like you to believe.
The bardrobe now sells a premium box with all the parts you need to build the dish drive (the board alone can still be found in the free category). Saves you the trouble of running around the station looking for parts instead of serving your patrons, but it's quite expensive. Make sure to tip your bartender.

add: DIY Dish Drive Kit now available at your local bardrobe. Start saving those tips!
tweak: The Dish Drive no longer sends reusable items into the disposal bin

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.
I wanted to get this up next day but I kept falling asleep before finishing what I wanted to

The guillotine is a funny item, but you can only repair it with a
whetstone (used or unused). Since the whetstone is rare this leads to
odd situations where the easiest way to sharpen your guillotine is to
make a second one. This lets you repair the guillotine with plasteel,
each piece restores 30% durability (it costs 3 plasteel to make) and
takes 10 seconds.

This PR ports Baystation color carps. In short, normal carps can now spawn in variety of colors,
This only affects normal carps, not special ones like magicarps or megacarps, these retain their own unique sprite. There are also some pretty rare color variant for carps and our friendly Syndicate carp Cayenne has increased chance to get it.
Why It's Good For The Game
Better aesthetics and immersion.

Jokes aside, since its addition quantum teleportation has always had a rapidly-changing-rainbow motif, i thought that making the sparks behave in the same way would be cool now that we have teleport flags.
Side change: non-bluespace teleportation no longer makes sparks by default.

About The Pull Request
Adds two new mime spells to the game. Both work like the invisible wall, i.e. they spawn an invisible item for a limited amount of time:
Invisible Chair: Summons a chair and has the mime sit in it. Perfect for crowded shuttles or staying put.
Invisible Box: Everyone's favorite stock mime routine! The mime summons a box (invisible to everyone but him, although you do get the message once spawned) that can store small items. When it disappears, the items are dropped.
To prevent massively overpowered mimes, the mime gets a spellbook at roundstart from which he can choose only one out of the three mime spells.
Why It's Good For The Game
The mime doesn't get nearly as much cool stuff as the clown, and these are pretty common pantomime routines to riff off.
Changelog
cl
add: After receiving many complaints about mimes who never pantomime, Nanotrasen has liquidated its mime personnel and hired new mimes who know more routines.
add: The mime gets the choice of two new spells: Invisible Chair and Invisible Box. They work much like the Invisible Wall spell does and disappear after a short span of time. The invisible chair can be buckled to like usual chairs; the box works like a standard inventory box item.
tweak: Mime spells are now granted via a spellbook that starts out in the mime's inventory. Mimes can choose one of these three.

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.

Fixes a few issues I was not aware of with my initial PR
* Being agender is now a distinct DNA value (fixes agender spessmen
turning female when having their DNA referenced, like during cloning
and some rudimentary transformations)
* Neatens up preference code, more in line with previous code, fixes
an issue with male underwear not surviving preference loading and
defaulting to female underwear
* Allows agender spessmen to change their facial hair with mirrors
* Change medical, personnel, and security records from sex to gender
and add "Other" option (they currently display "plural" even for
agendered species like ethereals)
* The -san honorific now applies to plural gender instead of just
neuter with the Chinese Cartoons admin secret (highly important)
I have never really played genetics and only tested the DNA code with
cloning and rudimentary transformations while still in a body (which
causes it to reference the old body's DNA, like with cloning). Please
let me know if there's a better way to do this and/or if this is apt
to create issues.

About The Pull Request
Adds a rake (reskinned cultivator) and a wooden hatchet to the ashwalker base. Replaces their bucket with a wooden bucket.
