Living Sponge

Living Sponge adds self-spreading sponge utilities for water and lava: drain fluid spaces, trace borders, and solidify areas into usable structures. ***

Main Uses

## 1) Drain and Clear Use `Neutral` sponges when you want to remove fluid without leaving structural remains behind. Best for: * clearing work areas * cutting into lakes or oceans * cleaning fluid spaces before building ![Drain / clear showcase](https://i.imgur.com/7lsOebm.gif) *** ## 2) Build Walls and Borders Use `Wall-Forming` sponges when you want a colony to leave a border shell of `Sponge Remains` on old-age death. Best for: * outlining basins * tracing perimeter walls * building underwater houses *** ## 3) Solidify and Fill Use `Solidifying` sponges when you want colonies to leave `Sponge Remains` across the whole grown area. Best for: * building platforms in fluid * filling underwater or lava-filled spaces ![image](https://media.forgecdn.net/attachments/description/null/description_0dc4dc90-0ade-44f5-acb2-9225b43ac917.png) Result: ![image](https://media.forgecdn.net/attachments/description/null/description_ec9ce4a9-f8fd-467a-b64f-a35d018e9a7b.png) ***

Sponge Types

Every living sponge is defined by four trait slots: * `Growth Medium` * `Water` * `Lava` * `Spread` * `Volume` - spreads through the body of the fluid * `Flat` - spreads only across exposed flat fluid surfaces * `Output` * `Neutral` - leaves nothing on old-age death * `Wall-Forming` - leaves border remains * `Solidifying` - leaves remains everywhere * `Radius` * `Standard` - `8` * `Expanded` - `16` * `Huge` - `256` Tooltips show these traits directly. Also, by default, the mod adds a custom sponge recipe: * `Any Wool` + `Kelp` + `Seagrass` -> `Sponge` ***

Configuration

The mod is designed to be configurable without code changes. Current configurable areas include: * lifecycle timings * spread timings and cooldowns * flat diagonal spread * radius values * creative sponge behavior * wall-forming shell thickness * custom vanilla sponge recipe toggle ***
