Original PR: NovaSector/NovaSector#4563
About The Pull Request
Removes Nova's (or rather, the older server's) old analgesic speed bonus in favor of TG's (NovaSector/NovaSector#957) and turns the speedup modifier into a calm environment modifier, also reducing it's speed bonus from 50% down to 20%
Calm environment modifier itself is mostly left untouched aside from some wording changes in the code and making it a bit more clear to what it is.
Videos of how this impacts surgery speed are in proof of testing.
How This Contributes To The Nova Sector Roleplay Experience
Currently, surgeries are so fast that they nearly match alien tools with really little effort. This is mostly a result of our modular speedup bonus being faster than even TG's surgery speed modifiers, as well as Nova's and TG's analgesics bonus co-existing which results into them stacking into a boost of 70%.
For reference; Miner's salve boosts surgery speed by 10%, TG's analgesia, dissection and sterilizine all boost the surgery speed by 20% and can all be stacked together while our modular speedup just boosts it up to 50% with very little effort just by being in an empty room and easily can be stacked into 100% (120% with TG analgesia modifier) speed boost if you drug your patient with painkillers or have them in a stasis bed (which would then be reduced down to 110% due to it having a debuff of 10%).
Medical players are meant to be awarded for the effort they spend into getting their patient prepared for surgery rather than a flat 50% speed bonus with very little effort, this should also discourage doctors from doing basic surgeries on a stasis bed.

Changelog
🆑 Hardly
balance: Removes the 50% speedup surgery speed bonus from being in a calm environments and numb/dead patients
balance: Calm environment instead now boosts surgery speed by 20%
remove: Removed Nova's modular numb surgery speed boost due to it conflicting with TG's
