atom

A grouping of tiles into a logical space, mostly used by map editors

Vars
active_alarms	Alarm type to count of sources. Not usable for ^ because we handle fires differently
airalarms	A list of all air alarms in this area
airlock_wires	Wire assignment for airlocks in this area
always_unpowered	This gets overridden to 1 for space in area/.
ambient_buzz	The background droning loop that plays 24/7
ambient_buzz_vol	The volume of the ambient buzz
ambientsounds	A list of sounds to pick from every so often to play to clients.
area_has_base_lighting	Whether this area has a currently active base lighting, bool
area_lighting	What type of lighting this area uses
area_limited_icon_smoothing	Typepath to limit the areas (subtypes included) that atoms in this area can smooth with. Used for shuttles.
areasize	Size of the area in open turfs, only calculated for indoors areas.
base_lighting_alpha	alpha 1-255 of lighting_effect and thus baselighting intensity. If you want this to be zero, use AREA_LIGHTING_NONE instead!
base_lighting_color	The colour of the light acting on this area
beauty	Beauty average per open turf in the area
beauty_threshold	If a room is too big it doesn't have beauty.
contained_turfs	List of all turfs currently inside this area. Acts as a filtered bersion of area.contents For faster lookup (area.contents is actually a filtered loop over world) Semi fragile, but it prevents stupid so I think it's worth it
fire_detect	A var for whether the area allows for detecting fires/etc. Disabled or enabled at a fire alarm.
firealarms	A list of all fire alarms in this area OR ADJACENT TO IT
firedoors	A list of all fire locks in this area and on the border of this area.
forced_ambience	Does this area immediately play an ambience track upon enter?
lighting_effect	The mutable appearance we underlay to show light
lights	All the lights in this area
map_generator	This datum, if set, allows terrain generation behavior to be ran on Initialize()
max_ambience_cooldown	Used to decide what the maximum time between ambience is
min_ambience_cooldown	Used to decide what the minimum time between ambience is
outdoors	For space, the asteroid, etc. Used with blueprints or with weather to determine if we are adding a new area (vs editing a station room)
requires_power	Will objects this area be needing power?
sound_environment	Used to decide what kind of reverb the area makes sound have
spook_level	Used by ghosts to grant new powers. See /datum/component/spook_factor
totalbeauty	All beauty in this area combined, only includes indoor area.
turfs_to_uncontain	Contained turfs is a MASSIVE list, so rather then adding/removing from it each time we have a problem turf We should instead store a list of turfs to REMOVE from it, then hook into a getter for it There is a risk of this and contained_turfs leaking, so a subsystem will run it down to 0 incrementally if it gets too large
