These have players behind them. Much different from mass murdering monkeys, etc.

## About The Pull Request
Adds maintenance drones and their dispensers back i… nto the maps with restrictions to access and the suppression of previously noted aggression circuits.
Requires changes to config for hour restrictions (10h in silicon was what Ruko originally asked for but up to staff)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gives ghosts something extra to do in their downtime or those wishing to learn engineering without the pressures of the round weighing them down. ~~Or just people who are insane like me and just like being a drone.~~
## Testing Photographs and Procedure
-Drones no longer have built in Captain ID. A hand selected list has been compiled in its place, see removal document below.
-Drones have been pacified, Their laws prevent any form of harm so those playing in good faith will not see a change.
-Snowflake drone dispensers have been placed on all maps, generally somewhere in science maints
-Cogscarabs and (Badass)Syndrones have the trait removed in their own initialize and thus are left un-pacified
All issues that I pointed out here: https://forums.beestation13.com/t/re-add-station-drones-with-a-massive-barrier-to-entry/13603/39
have been addressed and tested to confirm they work. (Can no longer use Robo console. Can no longer open Head lockers. Can no longer open AI upload terminals. They CAN still ventcrawl the armory but at least can't use them anymore)

Sorry for the delay… I am indeed. still inept.
Anti-Shitter measures deployed. Shouldn’t affect those playing in good faith too much tho :>
TLDR: Pacifist drones and command level access revoked (plus a couple other problematic acess)

I need the drone love back
Ill do what I can but it looks like sacrifices must be made before anything can be done with them (Drone doors, minor expansion to Access, etc)
IF that is greenlit I can look into doing such. I think most of the criticism about drone access was letting others in the room… not so much the drone getting in (Outside of those capable of grief)
Speaking of, Access has been revoked almost fully down to:
I have the feeling Air alarm access (Atmos) would be shut down… Ways around if pressing enough

Wouldn’t restricting access mess with the whole fix the station? Like what if a room is destroyed on another side of a wall and it has no way in?
Drones can ventcrawl. Maints are really the only place you cant crawl into, external airlocks too I guess…*
Forgot to update this topic. Drone PR was shut down a week ago.spam Ahelp if you want to play drone tho. Admin spawned are still allowed apparently.
