Destroying stockpiles should not vanish contents

[Granger]

Simple suggestion: when stockpiles are destroyed the contents shouldn't vanish but be spilled (like a container would when destroyed).

This would nerf the ability of slimes to destroy miners effort a little and give an incentive to actually fight them (to pickup spewed stockpiles content) instead of running toward the next portal to despawn them. Also it would look good.

Aaaaand... it makes dealing with the soil stockpiles a headache.

We just can't have nice things, can we?

TBH, I would be fine with that one downside.

Should you need to vanish large amounts of matter (in soil form) it'll most likely because you want to pave a large flat space anyway... and pavement stops dropped soil from changing surface height. Should be no real issue.

I dunno, I kind of like breaking stockpiles to get rid of stuff. It triggers my OCD to just leave stuff around until it decays. I'd rather toss it in a stockpile, if applicable, and be done with it.

well technically the items don't disappear, because you're hitting it with a tool tho id like the idea of ores just dropping on the ground to prevent slimes from random agroing stockpiles lol.

add new action "pulverize" that will smash things into nothing like destroy does right now

what would happen to a house you destroy because it also disappears in to nothing.

That's the only valid reason why stockpiles should be destroyable in a good way.

Would be nice if regular "destroy" would drop some of the materials used to build it.
A house is just a stockpile you can live inside but cant take back the boards/rocks used for it.
