Dissection tweaks: I'm tired of the corpse pile (shiptest-ss13#2722)
<!-- Write **BELOW** The Headers and **ABOVE** The comments else it may not be viewable. --> <!-- You can view Contributing.MD for a detailed description of the pull request process. --> ## About The Pull Request Problem: people are dissecting well-documented life like common animals and, distressingly, _human corpses._ Not only is this behavior odd, cadaver disposal methods can end up being quite concerning. Or quite concerningly non-instanced. Solution: Dissections no longer provide points as a default for animal/humanoid corpses, massively shortening the list of dissectable things. Pod and jellypeople have also been removed from the modified dissections table as people since they are both playable (pods less but still) and slimes can show up as legion corpses. In their place, crystal mobs, ancient goliaths, and elites/megafauna can be dissected, since they are both unique and rare (relatively) I also switched the dissection variant scaling to be fractional of the expected maximum at advanced surgery/experimental tier dissection, since that's what is going to be used throughout the majority of a round and having the commonly used numbers more directly present makes for easier balance checks. New dissectable things at experimental dissection research outputs, halve and quarter for thorough and base outputs respectively: Megafauna: 60k, on par with xeno bodies. Since you can't drag these, a clinic would have to be prepared on-site for the ones that leave a body (dragon) to extract the full value, and they are both rare and more than capable of killing a crew Elites: 12k, uncommon spawn on some planets, can be lethal crystal goliath: 10k, likely less lethal than the crystal legion but still dangerous mega arachnid, 8k, Appears in one ruin as a miniboss, rare enough it'd be something to peek at forgotten watcher: 6k, rare but relatively harmless compared to the other crystal mobs (unless I'm missing something) watcher variants: 4k, uncommon subspecies of watchers ancient goliath: 4k, it's a remarkably old goliath, probably some value there ## Why It's Good For The Game Five. Hundred. Human bodies. In my medbay. ## Changelog :cl: add: ancient goliaths, crystal fauna (aside from legion), elites and megafauna now have boosted dissection outputs del: human corpses, podpeople, jellypeople and animal corpses can no longer be dissected. What did you expect to find, an extra pair of lungs? /:cl: <!-- Both :cl:'s are required for the changelog to work! You can put your name to the right of the first :cl: if you want to overwrite your GitHub username as author ingame. --> <!-- You can use multiple of the same prefix (they're only used for the icon ingame) and delete the unneeded ones. Despite some of the tags, changelogs should generally represent how a player might be affected by the changes rather than a summary of the PR's contents. --> --------- Signed-off-by: Theos <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Mark Suckerberg <[email protected]>
