Resource Remover

This mod adds a series or factories that delete items instead of producing them. This is to help lategame performance.

Each factory removes one type of item and will by default remove all of that type of item on the ship as crew delivers to it. Restrictions can be applied by using the supply chain functionality, or by just not building that type of factory.

The intent is to place these factories on a cleanup ship that will collect all the items and debris in a system and remove, which will hopefully reduce lag spikes and improve fps.

I tested by removing free floating rocks and debris in a previously visited system. Removing piles and areas seemed to slightly help fps, but noticeably helped reduce lag spikes as large amounts of items no longer had to be loaded in.

Of course items can also just be collected and sold, but it often seemed like the stations would run out of space for all the junk I was collecting.

Not a perfect solution, but hopefully helps lategame!

Savegame compatible - it just adds new blocks to the production tab and does not modify any existing ones.
