area_spawn

Area spawn datums

Use these to spawn atoms in areas instead of placing them on a map. It will select any available open and entering turf.

Vars
amount_to_spawn	The amount we want to spawn
blacklisted_stations	Map blacklist, this is used to determine what maps we should not spawn on.
desired_atom	The atom that we want to spawn
mode	See code/__DEFINES/~skyrat_defines/automapper.dm
optional	If failing to find a suitable area is OK, then this should be TRUE or CI will fail. Should probably be true if the target_areas are random, such as ruins.
target_areas	The target area for us to spawn the desired atom, the list is formatted, highest priority first.
Procs
try_spawn	Attempts to find a location using an algorithm to spawn the desired atom.
