Better Mulchtube Fertilization

Description
Mulchtubes take forever to get soil to a productive level (ESPECIALLY in the desert). This aims to speed up the process, and hopefully give a lore-friendly reason for it.

-Inverted growth speed (poor soils make the plants grow faster, up to 200%; good soils slow the growth)

-All soil types can be converted, including gravel

-Radius of soil conversion greatly increased. use this in alternating rows with those soil-draining Energy Crystal plants to keep them growing at maximum efficiency

-because this plant now enjoys poor quality soil, hydroponic growing of this plant is not effective

-Harvesting of Sweet Syrup productivity is halved

-Added Manure resource on harvest to allow fertilizing of other fields (or whatever else you like using manure for)

This is my first mod. Any feedback is appreciated.

One thing of note is that, if you aren't using it to offset the degradation effects of energy crystals, this mod's soil improvement range is 4 tiles (1x1 tile being a small crop plant, with energy crystals being a 2x2) away from the mulchtube. Which is nice if you want to transform stuff into Loam.

The manure production is nice too, though I do find it funny that every harvest is a little bit of maple syrup-equivalent and a little bit of cow poop, and your survivors have to handle feces contaminated syrup.
