When demolishers die, they will now drop scales composed of an incredibly hard bio-metallic polymer, which is used to craft big mining drills.

You can use this alongside Demolisher Eggs or Biochemistry so you can breed demolishers.

This mod also automatically marks the corpse boulders of dead demolishers for deconstruction. This is useful for automated farming of demolishers. There is a setting to disable it.

Each big miner needs 1 demolisher scale. Small demolishers give ~10 scales, medium ones give ~20, big ones give ~80, and behemoth ones give ~400 if Behemoth Enemies is installed. There is a setting to increase or decrease these numbers.

Note: I haven't actually tried to build a demolisher farm yet, but it should be possible. Let me know if you have tried and succeeded or failed. Good luck! One problem is that a demolisher farm will probably give you frequent alerts for "building destroyed" unless you turn off those alerts completely. There's no way to turn off alerts in a specific area, and the modding API doesn't give any easy way to do that. (If you're a modder you could try making a mod that creates "no-alert zones" around lights shining pure green. You would probably need to spoof/replace the built-in entity-destroyed alerts similar to what I did in my other mod here.)
