AI can pick which laws to state, is there a way for robots to do that?

AIs and Cyborgs have the same "state laws" window

Under Robot Commands there's the State Laws command. Click that which opens a window, same as the AI's. By each Law is an Underlined YES/NO. Click the YES/NO to specify whether you should state that law or not. By default, antag status Laws are set to NO.

As far as i know you can't put them in bags, because everytime a miner brings a hugger to Xenobio it's in a locker

Use them like any other variable. $filters is a vector, though
$language = 1
$say = "hisses"
$filters = vector("robot","wacky")/whatever

What happens if you turn off the coolers/freezers in the server room/telecoms? Does it actually do anything such as making the machines overheat or is it just for fluff/to make it less griefable?
Also do the machines themselves create heat and radiate it to their surroundings?

The cooling is just fluff. The machines themselves don't produce heat, although if I remember correctly they did in the past, which is why it was supercooled.

Blowing it destroys the MMI; instead, lock it down, deconstruct it, then rebuild it again.

I'unno man, that's kinda going down the route of goon and their fuckin' "secret" chems.
If it's a balance issue or whatever then it should be fixed in code, not obfuscating the technique so only a secret cool club can know how to do it.

There are also two in the engineering entrance, so you don't even have to go into engineering to get them.
It's still one less door to go in from engineering maint, though.

If by "standard" you mean "use fuckhot plasma and fuckcold O2", no, that produces wet farts.

plasma of 1000 degrees celsius, oxygen of -100 degrees.
both tanks filled to the max

How do I make an actually worthwhile single-tank bomb without canisterbombing myself in the process?
900kPa of 500k plasma and 100kPa of room-temp oxygen was a fart.
Same ratio of 1000k plasma and 70k oxygen went off with a 3,6,13 as soon as I opened the valve on the oxygen canister.

It was already written above: Use a heater to get plasma up to 1000°C, a cooler to get oxygen down to -100°C.
Fill both tanks to the brim.
I had that mix fart on me once because lel bugs, but it went off just fine (maxcap) otherwise.

Yet here we literally have something that shits gold

Using a conveyor belt, it's easier than ever. Micro-manipulators are cheap and easy to produce, but they require a little pixel-hunting; I prefer basic matter bins.

Just build a conveyor belt under the protolathe so you don't have to click anything.

I don't think you are understanding what I am asking. The recycler was changed to not magically create materials - it now depends on the item that gets recycled.
https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/pull/11469
@Malkevin: I am all for research having to rely on mining. But the recycler did have its uses as a source for metal, glass and (frankly too much) gold and silver.
You need gold and silver in things like hyper cap cells for borgies, posibrains - and auto cloning.

My problem with it was that it made materials out of nothing, it was like alchemy making lead into gold.

Probably removes the restrictions on the settings page and decon analyzer.
