Add Bloodstream to Goliaths

[Vexerot]

About the PR

Adds a bloodstream to Goliaths; now they can bleed.

Why / Balance

Currently, Goliaths do not have a bloodstream and this means that they can not bleed. Intuitively, this does not make sense and thus, this PR aims to better align game mechanics with player expectations. Ultimately, Goliaths can now take bloodloss damage over time as as result of being shot - a minor nerf to Goliaths.

P.S. Goliaths can now be cogni'd.

Technical details

• Added MobBloodstream as a parent of MobGoliath
• Set bloodMaxVolume to 350, in-line with the health to blood ratios of other mobs.

I was pitched the idea of having them bleed something unique, if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears!

Lead. We need a source of it after all.

Make them bleed meds or something

Make them bleed meds or something

Maybe kelo? They are originally from lavaland, so cheap burn chem would fit and won't make salvs just take their helmets off to sip on the goliath juice in between killing more, nor make it reasonable to raise then harvest stationside due to compared risk-reward not being worth it. Or cryox since they don't breathe and seems like all space animals have cryox for blood...

[thebadman4662]

Cryox would not be unique at all, plenty of mobs have it as blood already, bunch of them even spawn on station from vent events.

Opporozidone, the cryo chem that regenerates rotting.

Why would they bleed opporozidone that makes less sense than them not bleeding at all

oh god
this means you can have a zombified goliath
insert thousand yard stare

Valuable chem as a reward for killing them, needs cryo to work so incentivizes salv to bring one back for med

Trivializing the act of obtaining opporozidone is not a good idea. Goliaths are not hard to kill.

I'm not 100% committed to the idea, I just think it's a neat underused chem, and the impact of it is not huge. It's only for rotten bodies that have souls, which isn't a common occurrence. And I wouldn't call it trivial if vgroid is intended to be lategame. It does require getting out there and getting back. Maybe adding goliath blood with another expensive regeant could give opporozidone. But oppo is rarely made because most people would just rather have cognizine.

[thebadman4662]

Opp is rarely made cause good chunk of botany players hates growing plants for other departments in my experience, others that do not grow are usually new players that were told botany is unimportant job and nobody will bother them(clueless). I rarely lack cogni from salv or sci carps/roundstart sashimi. HoPs not willing to take care of their department do not help either.

A single harvest of galaxythistle and aloe is unironically more than enough to unrot all humanoid bodies you will have on average shift, assuming you are doctoring too as chemist so at least one person in medbay is using bodybags/stasis/morgue. Partially because Opp is so potent at unrotting, partially because thats assumes someone did not give up on life after 10 minutes in warm environment.

Necrozol that can undo permadeath to poison is so trivial to make that you could make it in less than 1 minute since shift start if you spedran it on bunch of stations.
