Adding configs for mana tablet and (greater) mana band capacity

What would you like to be included in Botania Configurator?
Would be cool to have a similar level of configurability for portable mana storage options (Mana Tablet/ (Greater) Band of Mana). My use case is gutting pools overall and trying to bring back a diluted pool meta so you can't just afk with a patch of endoflames.
A question somewhat adjacent to above:
- Would it be out of scope for this mod to add mechanics? I was thinking like the runic altar progress slowly ticking backwards if not supplied with mana for a while.
Well, this mod already adds custom mechanics (like random Spectrolus random starting color, the ability for every generating flower to decay) so this isn't out of scope at all.
I won't promise anything about the Runic Altar, because:
- I don't think this would change much in gameplay,
- This would require a ton of overwriting in the Runic Altar's class (depending on what behavior you would like to be implemented, whether it's draining mana only when the Altar didn't get Mana in the "charging" phase, or also in the "ready to craft" phase).
Sorry, I probably should have specified during the "charging" phase.
I agree in terms of vanilla gameplay it wouldn't change much unless you're trying to make runes with like 4 endoflames.. However, I'd argue if combined with lower pool capacity (10k for example), it does open up options for gating later runes or any custom runic altar recipes really. Managen would need to be ramped up to ensure the craft doesn't stall, encouraging players to branch out to better generating flora.
If it's more effort than it's worth then no worries, it's a pretty niche suggestion anyways, thank you for giving it some thought. Do you have a Ko-fi or anything that I could donate to?
