* Water tiles now put out burning atoms (#82735) ## About The Pull Request This adds a new "watery tile" element, currently used for (you guessed it) water turfs. This makes a tile extinguish any atom that passes through it. It also makes mobs wet!  This required a minor amount of under-the-hood work regarding firestacks. Essentially, they now get put out when the atom-level `extinguish()` proc is called, as they are now receptive to the `COMSIG_ATOM_EXTINGUISH` signal. ## Why It's Good For The Game It makes sense to me! If I was playing another simulation game and dived into a pool of water on fire, only to remain on fire, I would be very confused and disturbed. Also, it's good for immersion. Get it? Like, because water tiles also have the immerse element? ## Changelog :cl: Rhials qol: Water tiles now extinguish fires on items and people. /:cl: * Water tiles now put out burning atoms --------- Co-authored-by: Rhials <[email protected]>

About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new line reel, which speeds up the baiting phase of the fishing minigame and skips the biting phase, thus starting the minigame without the initial input from the player.
The auto-reel line will also throw items (or other people/things, if you have the right hook) in your direction when snagged, with the added bonus of catching the item mid-air. Turn your fishing rod into a discount meat hook.
