Station-Allied Mobs Seem to Hate Medibots/Floorbots/Whateverbots: A Baffling Issue in the TGStation Universe

In the vast and complex world of TGStation, a peculiar issue has been observed, leaving many players perplexed and concerned. It appears that station-allied mobs, including those that have been lazarus'd or are mining drones, have a peculiar hatred for medibots, floorbots, and other helpful drones. These mobs seem to attack these drones without any provocation, causing chaos and destruction throughout the station. In this article, we will delve into the details of this issue, explore possible causes, and discuss potential solutions.

The issue in question is not a new one, and it has been reported by several players across various rounds. The problem seems to be that station-allied mobs, which are typically friendly and non-aggressive, have a strange affinity for attacking medibots, floorbots, and other drones that are designed to assist and aid the players. This behavior is not only frustrating but also poses a significant threat to the players, as these mobs can cause significant damage to the station and its inhabitants.

To reproduce this issue, players can follow these simple steps:

Get a lazarus'd mob or a mining drone: Players can obtain a lazarus'd mob or a mining drone by using the lazarus device or by finding one in the game world.
Walk around the station with them: Once the mob or drone is obtained, players can walk around the station with it, observing its behavior.
Watch in horror as they begin striking the helpful drones down: As the mob or drone moves around the station, it will eventually begin attacking the medibots, floorbots, and other drones, causing chaos and destruction.

There are several possible causes for this issue, and it is likely that the problem is complex and multifaceted. Some possible causes include:

Game mechanics: The game mechanics may be flawed, causing the mobs to behave in an unexpected manner.
Code refactoring: Recent code refactoring may have introduced a bug or changed the behavior of the mobs.
Balance changes: Balance changes may have been made to the game, affecting the behavior of the mobs.

To address this issue, several potential solutions can be explored:

Game mechanics changes: The game mechanics can be modified to prevent the mobs from attacking the medibots, floorbots, and other drones.
Code refactoring: The code can be refactored to fix any bugs or issues that may be causing the problem.
Balance changes: Balance changes can be made to the game to ensure that the mobs behave in a more predictable and friendly manner.

The issue of station-allied mobs attacking medibots, floorbots, and other drones is a complex and multifaceted problem that requires a thorough investigation and analysis. By understanding the possible causes and exploring potential solutions, we can work towards resolving this issue and creating a more enjoyable and balanced gaming experience for all players.
