Dispose in Liquids

by wadeack

Why can you throw items into lava but not into water? If oil is lighter than water, shouldn't things sink in it? They say it's an ocean of ammonia, yet we can't pollute it like the ones on Earth. With this mod, you can dispose of unwanted items in any liquid tile! Alternatively you can forbid item dumping in lava, to have a different type of consistency.

  Info:
    - Initial release.
  Features:
    - All liquid tiles can be used for item disposal.

      Tiles are grouped based on the planet they can naturally appear on and whether they are
      walkable by a character (shallow). For Fulgora, even though both oil ocean tiles are walkable,
      the distinction is made based on their names.
    - Depending on the availability of the Space-Age DLC, settings are displayed accordingly (omitting unavailable tiles).
  Graphics:
    - A particle effect is created when an item is disposed of.
    - Particle color depends on the liquid tile it was used on.
