Can you add durability to the Sieve Meshes as an optional feature?
So they can break and the player will have to replace them?
I'd like it, it'd add a some challenge and more of a reason to grind resources. Haha.

I second this, as I was about to go into the rabbit hole of trying to make a addon mod or something. It would add amazing steps to automation to balance out the generation for one of my packs. This is not to say it's unbalanced, total preference.
