Change ashwalkers to have custom lungs

[coiax]

Ashwalkers now have lungs that are specially adapted to Lavaland
environments. However, that specialisation comes at a cost at sometimes
not being able to operate in normal human air conditions.

• Ashwalker lungs take a gas sample of the default lavaland atmosphere
  on initialisation in order to customise themselves
• Currently, excess O2/N2 has no functional drawback, so no maximum
  value is set on the lungs. If Lavaland rolls a higher N2/O2 mole count
  than human air, they will still struggle however.
• Ashwalkers are no longer NOBREATH, bringing them closer
  to regular lizards.

🆑 coiax
balance: Ashwalkers now have lungs adapted for the atmosphere of Indecipheres,
and now breathe. However, if the Indecipheres
atmosphere has miasma, they are immune to it.

Shouldn't this have a changelog? Seems like something important for ghosts playing ashwalkers to know.

Would this make it possible to get an Ashwalker (not ghost-spawned) corpse from a legion, epi it and get those lungs transplanted to gain that benefit? Alternatively, could this open a path to OOC character customization, allowing lizard players to not only pick regular/digitigrade legs, but regular/ashwalker lungs as well?

You're completely right.

Don't they have VIRUSIMMUNE because they don't have any reasonable way to clean blood and gibs and as a result will get sick from walking around in it? I mean it should be miners and fauna killing ash walkers not random illness they can't cure.

[coiax]

As far as I understand, the sickness from gibs and blood comes from miasma buildup, which won't happen in the lavaland atmosphere, because it's constantly being reset to the normal air values.

And if miasma is normally part of the air, then they're immune to it.

as of #57957 , gibs / dead people no longer spit out miasma and instead try to infect you with diseases directly. Ashwalkers were given virus immunity a month or so ago because their tendril is often coated in gibs and dead bodies, which very often infected them with nasty viruses they had no means of curing or preventing.

Side question: If you take ash-walker mutation toxin on the station, will your lungs be functionally the same as normal lungs?

Did not know this, I will restore their virus immunity.

The lungs are "prototyped" on the ideal lavaland gas that the air controller stores, ie. it's not on "first breath" or anything. Ashwalkers (or more specifically, blackened frilled lungs) created anywhere will be based on lavaland atmosphere.
Hilariously, even if the map is icebox.

Oh well, seems like gone are the days of sipping ashwalker mutation toxin in botany for nobreath and virus immunity. Still a cool change, though. 👍

time to turn people into ash walkers as a changeling to make them suffocate 😎
