So I actually went ahead and implemented the toggles per slow n' cheap item. I also figured out the updates needed for miniloader.
Though, I have decided that this mod is really about adding a tier zero suite of items. Having toggles per items changes this assumption, and any where in code that has logic to do with one of these items has to make a check if the item is enabled or not. It makes the code too complex/the mod do too much for my liking. With that I have decided I am not going to add settings to add/remove slow n' cheap items for now.
If you want individual toggles I have an experimental branch of code here. Just copy the contents of the Source folder into your mod folder leighzerslowncheapitems_0.1.8 .
As for the miniloader changes, I'll keep those, though I think the data updates being in the miniloader mod may make more sense. I'll ping the mod author and see what they think is best for compatibility.
