Inverted Slug Plug (absorbs power, excretes metal ore)

[QuQuasar]

I would definitely ranch a critter morph for the plug slug that operates in reverse, absorbing power at night and excreting metal ore.

Bonus points if you can choose what type of metal it produces by what you feed it. For example, if you feed it sandstone it excretes copper ore. Feed it sedimentary rock and it excretes cobalt ore, and feed it igneous rock and it excretes iron ore.

That would be an interesting mechanic. It`s so weird that we get renewable refined metals but not ores. It`s like if trees grew planks instead of logs in DS.

Yeah, the power-consumming slug morph is something this game really, really needs! However, instead of excreting ores, I'd suggest we had to use shearing station to get it. It would give it another purpose and allowed it to be usefull even before we got Dreckos

Just my 2 Cent:

I would love a slug morph to fill a long existing gap (at least for me).

Turning refined metal back into "ore".

 

[If with or without power consumption doesn´t bother me.]

Sheared advanced slugs sounds excellent. Right now they serve no purpose beyond early game.
