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.
