deciding to leave it here since the steps are fairly convoluted
found while fixing #36252, admin deleting mimics also causes this, so i thought to myself: "why is this so? why does killing a mimic not do this?" and i found out the code for it is in death(), so i codedived to see if there was any qdel call on them that bypassed it and voila
Difference between expected and actual behavior
no item left behind
Steps to reproduce
you will need:
a supermatter shard (engineering, cargo or rarely xenoarch)
a cage (sheets of plasteel makes em)
syringe (medbay, autolathe in cargo or sci, xenobio itself)
a container for water (literally anywhere)
gold slime extract (xenobio)
a mass driver or conveyor belt (optional unless you're daring)
find a small secluded room with no other items (like closing one of the pens in xenobio by yourself with it)
put down your item of choice in the room with the gold slime extract on the floor, inject with water, it will become the item, DO NOT INTERACT WITH IT or it becomes harder to deal with
close the cage on it and toggle the lid closed LAST PART IS IMPORTANT
get your shard ready, and push the cage into it. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE OF RADS, HAVE A LOT OF CHEMS READY OR MAKE IT HAPPEN FROM A DISTANCE. MASS DRIVERS WILL HELP A LOT.
???
profit! and one duped item
Specific information for locating
/obj/structure/cage/supermatter_act() (does not call death() on mobs, which is essential for not duping the item on mimics)
Length of time in which bug has been known to occur
