## About The Pull Request
This PR gives a small update to the patch of eden lav… aland ruin, and adds a new item that can be used as an upgrade to the plasma mod core. The idea around this item is that it's a flower that has absorbed all the plasma and bad-vibes in the small area around the ruin, leaving an area full of plants, and a flower full of energy. This flower can be taken from the oasis and turned into a functional MOD core using some wires. As a MOD core, it is the same as the plasma mod core, but has a higher energy capacity, being equivalent to a super power cell. It also gives you a cool pollen effect, and spawns butterflies around you while your suit is active. These butterflies disappear when they get too far away, or if the suit deactivates. They also don't leave corpses, so they shouldn't cause too much clutter.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Secondary, more concrete reason: The patch of eden ruin is overall pretty boring for what it could be, and adding a cool thing like this could spice it up imo. I also think the plasma mod core is cool, and so making it possible to get it outside of cannibalizing a mining MODsuit would be nice.
Now, the main motivation behind this PR, and my future PRs, is that I want to improve the interactions between Robotics and the rest of the station, starting with miners. By and large, interacting with robotics as another department usually sucks. Something I believe to be a major contributor to this is the fact that there's nothing for the rest of the crew to really help robotics with. Robotics gains basically nothing from interacting with the rest of the crew. The idea is that a miner finds this core on lavaland, brings it to robotics, and robotics gets a cool new mod core. Obviously the miners can use the core themselves, but in my experience, most miners don't really use the MODsuit. I'm trying to appeal to the basic feeling of "This person brought me something, I'll do something for them". Obviously this is a pretty minor step, but hey, gotta start somewhere.

## About The Pull Request
This PR makes it so that when a gas mask of any type … (normal, explorer, mime, etc) has isn't holding any filters, and isn't covering the mouth, you can jam a cigarette in there and smoke it like normal. Cigs placed in a mask can be lit by using the lighting implement on the mask as you would a normal cig. The gas mask can't be adjusted while holding a cig (if the gas mask can be adjusted at all). Whether or not internals can be used depends on the mask and its adjusted state.

## Why It's Good For The Game
First off, I just find the idea of replacing an air filter in a gas mask, something meant to protect you from harmful gasses and fumes, with a cancer-inducing burning stick of chemicals, to be really funny.
Secondly, and the reason that was the initial inspiration for this PR, is it allows mimes and clowns to smoke without removing their masks. This opens the door for mimes and clowns to use smoking as part of their character gimmick, without losing a pretty big part of their identity.
## Changelog
:cl:
add: Cigarettes can now be placed in and smoked through gas masks, so long as the mask has no filters installed and is not covering the mouth.
