rscadd: Once the blob alert message is sent in the blob game mode, all mobs get to see how many tiles the blob has until it wins, via the Status tab.
rscdel: Removed/merged a bunch of blob chems, you probably don't care about the specifics.
tweak: The remaining blob chems should, overall, be more powerful.
tweak: Shield blobs soak brute damage less well.
tweak: Flashbangs do higher damage to blobs up close, but their damage falls off faster.
experiment: Shield blobs now cost 15 resources to make instead of 10. Node blobs now cost 50 resources to make instead of 60.
experiment: Expanding/attacking now costs 4 resources instead of 5, and blobs can now ATTACK DIAGONALLY. Diagonal attacks are weaker than normal attacks, especially against cyborgs(which may be entirely immune, depending), and they remain unable to expand diagonally.
rscadd: Shield blobs no longer block atmos while under half health. Shield blobs are still immune to fire, even if they can't block atmos.
tweak: Blobs should block explosions less well.
rscadd: Blob cores and nodes are no longer immune to fire and no longer block atmos.
rscadd: Blobs can only auto-expand one tile at a time per expanding thing, and should be easier to beat back in general.
tweak: Blobbernauts now attack faster.
tweak: Blob Overminds attack mobs slower but can attack non-mobs much faster.
rscadd: Blob Overminds start with some amount of resources; in the gamemode, it's 80 divided by the number of overminds, in the event, it's 20 plus the number of active players, and otherwise, it's 60.
bugfix: You can no longer move blob cores into space, onto the mining shuttle, white ship, gulag shuttle, or solars.
bugfix: Blob rounds might be less laggy, if they were laggy?
tweak: Blobs don't heal as fast, excluding the core.
experiment: Blobs are marginally less destructive to their environment.

Objective:
maybe possibly make blob something you can fight instead of wishing the blob didn't exist?
but also make the blob lethal enough that it can still deal with the crew if it knows what it's doing(and still lose if the crew is good instead of snowballing forever)
Repaths satchels so all the different ones are children of the normal satchel.
Allows angels to equip satchels since the satchels are on the side of the body instead of the back. Should help miners who find the potion out a bit.
Added two new materials, Titanium and plastitanium. Titanium is naturally occuring, and plastitanium is an alloy made of plasma and titanium.
These materials can be used to build shuttle walls and floors, though this serves no current purpose.
Before you yell "SNOWFLAKE" about the materials, I have definite planned purposes for them, not to mention what else they could be potentially used for (mechs, R&D, etc.)
You can use titanium to make white shuttle walls that smooth (like the ones of the escape shuttle), and plastitanium to make the grey syndie shuttle walls. You can also make floor tiles out of each material for the different shuttle floors. This PR itself doesn't change any of the paths on the map to use smoothed shuttlewalls and I'll save that for a seperate PR.
Also this PR makes ORM code better and allows people to easily add new alloys

Hardsuit jetpack upgrade item is replaced by an actual jetpack - the same as the one that exists inside the upgraded suit. It still can't be used separately.
Hardsuit jetpack has hardsuit jetpack sprites instead of voidsuit pack.
You can remove jetpack from hardsuit by using screwdriver on it.
Unrelated:
Fixes mining vendor UI a bit: items with long names no longer take two lines.
Changes staff of storms path to actual staff.
*can fit five people
*can take a lot of punishment before breaking
*slow as garbage to move in
*only exist near the syndicate drop pods
*became utterly required once STEEL RAIN was added

rscadd: Nuke ops can now harness the power of METAL BOXES: special versions of cardboard boxes that can take a lot of abuse and can fit the whole team if need be. They're not nearly as light as their cardboard brothers though...

Added priority overlays to atoms, which will not be removed when overlays are cut and will always remain on top when new overlays are added. This requires everyone to use add_overlay() and cut_overlays() instead of overlays += and overlays.Cut(). These procs are found in __HELPERS/icons.dm, and the priority overlay list is found in game/atoms.dm. Everything else is replacing deprecated overlay manipulation.
