That was the other reason I suggested that :D
I don't see why it'd be such a problem, it's not exactly a common "natural" resource anyways. I was hoping we/bots could make use of it for more realistic eco-sims. Different groups would be able to fill different niches, making for a richer enviroment.
One group could thieve venom, for example, while another thieves slime. Since neither is directly competing with the other, the two would be able to co-exist; leading to increased diversity.
