Add More Cloning Defects - BioFrequency - 10-03-2025

I think more Cloning Defects should be added to the pool of possible defects. 

Defects that have come to mind are as follows 
  • Currently there is a defect that gives you the Puritan trait - I think there should also be a defect that could give you the Cyber-Incompatible trait
  • A existing defect called "Allergic Reaction" gives the clone Histamine - how about a major defect that gives the clone Activated Plasma? (which causes the Plasma Lung virus) - the cloned individual would shortly develop a dependency on breathing plasma - and could either go get a plasma tank to breath from, or get emergency surgery to have the infected lungs removed and replaced. 

Thanks to the Discord group for providing some of the code for reference material URL: https://github.com/goonstation/goonstation/blob/19e9456878b4a76ffb15a996730ac49213afb041/code/WorkInProgress/cloner_defects.dm

Cloning defects are, in my opinion, one of the more interesting things to happen to cloning in recent years (outside the recent rack change). I'd be delighted to see what other variants people can come up with. Definitely agree with the cyber incompatible and plasmalung ones you mentioned

I'd also like to see more defects. Would it be possible to make it so being repeatedly cloned causes worse defects? A good trait you could take for 1+ would be Previously Cloned wherein if you have it you have a much higher risk of a debilitating defect when cloned.
