Customisable Plug Slugs

Description
Have you ever murdered all plug slugs on sight, lest they devour your precious, non-renewable cobalt ore? Regardless of having some 500t of it in reserve?

Have you ever starved them slowly to death, leeching some meager power off them until they outlive their usefulness?

Well, now you can set up their diet (nearly) however you like. You can have them eat ore, rocks, refined metal, sulfur, clay, ice, or some combination of those. You can also control how much they eat, what portion of it they "output" as hydrogen, and how many watts they produce while at it.

I can add other solid elements if you think it would help balance them better.

The plug slugs are dead - long live the smug slugs!

Changelog:

09/10/2022 - updated for Sweet Dreams
10/09/2021 - added ices as a possible diet

yeah cant get this to load after the most recent critter update, was a big change I have seen.

Without this mod, Id rather just kill off all the plug slugs so they dont touch my metal.
I love the idea of ice or some rocks feeding to them, Ice giving a better return on Hydrogen and rocks giving almost none. I get why Klei did metal.....but it shouldnt be only metal they eat. Though I also remove metal from there diet for my personal reasons with this mod.

So sadly until it is updated, plug slugs and such are just extra meat on the map to me. When I have renewable metal on the map (or from mods that allow grinding rocks down to get some metal) I might then actually think about them....but probly not by that late in the game.

@Thundercraft The crash was related to how the Sweet Dreams update changed the plug slug mechanics. I've patched that and also made the code more resilient to future changes, so hopefully it won't crash anymore.

Just an FYI:
From my testing so far, this mod seems to still work fine. :steamthumbsup:

All right, it has been updated to no longer crash and to extend the same diet to the smog and sponge slugs. Smog/sponge capacity will come in a later update.
