ore_vent

Vars
artifact_chance	Percent chance that this vent will produce an artifact boulder.
boulder_icon_state	What base icon_state do we use for this vent's boulders?
boulder_size	What size boulders does this vent produce?
defending_mobs	A list of mobs that can be spawned by this vent during a wave defense event.
discovered	Has this vent been scanned by a mining scanner? Cannot be scanned again. Adds ores to the vent's description.
excavation_warning	What string do we use to warn the player about the excavation event?
icon_state_tapped	What icon_state do we use when the ore vent has been tapped?
manual_vent_cooldown	We use a cooldown to prevent players from tapping boulders rapidly from vents.
mineral_breakdown	A weighted list of what minerals are contained in this vent, with weight determining how likely each mineral is to be picked in produced boulders.
node	Reference to this ore vent's NODE drone, to track wave success.
ore_string	String containing the formatted list of ores that this vent can produce, and who first discovered this vent.
ore_vent_options	Associated list of vent size weights to pick from.
scanning_equipment	What items can be used to scan a vent?
spawn_drone_on_tap	Does this vent spawn a node drone when tapped? Currently unique to boss vents so try not to VV it.
tapped	Has this vent been tapped to produce boulders? Cannot be untapped.
unique_vent	Is this type of vent exempt from the map's vent budget/limit? Think the free iron/glass vent or boss vents. This also causes it to not roll for random mineral breakdown.
wave_cooldown	We use a cooldown to prevent the wave defense from being started multiple times.
Procs
add_mineral_overlays	Adds floating temp_visual overlays to the vent, showcasing what minerals are contained within it. If undiscovered, adds a single overlay with the icon_state "unknown".
generate_description	Generates a description of the ore vent to ore_string, based on the minerals contained within it. Ore_string is passed to examine().
generate_mineral_breakdown	This proc is called when the ore vent is initialized, in order to determine what minerals boulders it spawns can contain. The materials available are determined by SSore_generation.ore_vent_minerals, which is a list of all minerals that can be contained in ore vents for a given cave generation. As a result, minerals use a weighted list as seen by ore_vent_minerals_lavaland, which is then copied to ore_vent_minerals. Once a material is picked from the weighted list, it's removed from ore_vent_minerals, so that it can't be picked again and provided it's own internal weight used when assigning minerals to boulders spawned by this vent. May also be called after the fact, as seen in SSore_generation's initialize, to add more minerals to an existing vent.
handle_wave_conclusion	Called when the wave defense event ends, after a variable amount of time in start_wave_defense.
ore_quantity_function	Returns the quantity of mineral sheets in each ore vent's boulder contents roll. First roll can produce the most ore, with subsequent rolls scaling lower logarithmically. Inversely scales with ore_floor, so that the first roll is the largest, and subsequent rolls are smaller. (1 -> from 16 to 7 sheets of materials, and 3 -> from 8 to 6 sheets of materials on a small vent) This also means a large boulder can highroll a boulder with a full stack of 50 sheets of material. @params ore_floor The number of minerals already rolled. Used to scale the logarithmic function.
pre_wave_defense	This confirms that the user wants to start the wave defense event, and that they can start it.
produce_boulder	Here is where we handle producing a new boulder, based on the qualities of this ore vent. Returns the boulder produced. @params apply_cooldown Should we apply a cooldown to producing boulders? Default's false, used by manual boulder production (goldgrubs, golems, etc).
scan_and_confirm	The Node Drone has survived the wave defense, and the ore vent is tapped. Called when the ore vent is tapped by a scanning device. Gives a readout of the ores available in the vent that gets added to the description, then asks the user if they want to start wave defense if it's already been discovered. @params user The user who tapped the vent. @params scan_only If TRUE, the vent will only scan, and not prompt to start wave defense. Used by the mech mineral scanner.
start_wave_defense	Starts the wave defense event, which will spawn a number of lavaland mobs based on the size of the ore vent. Called after the vent has been tapped by a scanning device. Will summon a number of waves of mobs, ending in the vent being tapped after the final wave.

Proc Details

proc
add_mineral_overlays
()

Adds floating temp_visual overlays to the vent, showcasing what minerals are contained within it. If undiscovered, adds a single overlay with the icon_state "unknown".

proc
generate_description
(/mob/user)

Generates a description of the ore vent to ore_string, based on the minerals contained within it. Ore_string is passed to examine().

proc
generate_mineral_breakdown
(new_minerals, map_loading)

This proc is called when the ore vent is initialized, in order to determine what minerals boulders it spawns can contain. The materials available are determined by SSore_generation.ore_vent_minerals, which is a list of all minerals that can be contained in ore vents for a given cave generation. As a result, minerals use a weighted list as seen by ore_vent_minerals_lavaland, which is then copied to ore_vent_minerals. Once a material is picked from the weighted list, it's removed from ore_vent_minerals, so that it can't be picked again and provided it's own internal weight used when assigning minerals to boulders spawned by this vent. May also be called after the fact, as seen in SSore_generation's initialize, to add more minerals to an existing vent.

The above applies only when spawning in at mapload, otherwise we pick randomly from ore_vent_minerals_lavaland.

@params new_minerals How many minerals should be added to this vent? Defaults to MINERAL_TYPE_OPTIONS_RANDOM, which is 4. @params map_loading Is this vent being spawned in at mapload? If so, we use the ore_generation subsystem's ore_vent_minerals list to pick minerals. Otherwise, we pick randomly from ore_vent_minerals_lavaland.

proc
handle_wave_conclusion
()

Called when the wave defense event ends, after a variable amount of time in start_wave_defense.

If the node drone is still alive, the ore vent is tapped and the ore vent will begin generating boulders. If the node drone is dead, the ore vent is not tapped and the wave defense can be reattempted.

Also gives xp and mining points to all nearby miners in equal measure.

proc
ore_quantity_function
(ore_floor)

Returns the quantity of mineral sheets in each ore vent's boulder contents roll. First roll can produce the most ore, with subsequent rolls scaling lower logarithmically. Inversely scales with ore_floor, so that the first roll is the largest, and subsequent rolls are smaller. (1 -> from 16 to 7 sheets of materials, and 3 -> from 8 to 6 sheets of materials on a small vent) This also means a large boulder can highroll a boulder with a full stack of 50 sheets of material. @params ore_floor The number of minerals already rolled. Used to scale the logarithmic function.

proc
pre_wave_defense
(/mob/user, spawn_drone)

This confirms that the user wants to start the wave defense event, and that they can start it.

proc
produce_boulder
(apply_cooldown)

Here is where we handle producing a new boulder, based on the qualities of this ore vent. Returns the boulder produced. @params apply_cooldown Should we apply a cooldown to producing boulders? Default's false, used by manual boulder production (goldgrubs, golems, etc).

proc
scan_and_confirm
(/mob/living/user, scan_only)

The Node Drone has survived the wave defense, and the ore vent is tapped. Called when the ore vent is tapped by a scanning device. Gives a readout of the ores available in the vent that gets added to the description, then asks the user if they want to start wave defense if it's already been discovered. @params user The user who tapped the vent. @params scan_only If TRUE, the vent will only scan, and not prompt to start wave defense. Used by the mech mineral scanner.

proc
start_wave_defense
()

Starts the wave defense event, which will spawn a number of lavaland mobs based on the size of the ore vent. Called after the vent has been tapped by a scanning device. Will summon a number of waves of mobs, ending in the vent being tapped after the final wave.
