Summary
None
Purpose of change
The mod "Slowdown Fungal Growth" does not meet the criteria for our in-repo mods. It is a simple balance mod which changes one(1) creature in the game.
Its existence impairs development and whenever newer players ask about fungals growing raises questions about "Did you disable the default mod?" etc.
It clogs up the mod list. We have lots of really impactful, beautiful mods which offer entirely different gameplay and settings. This isn't one of them.
There's simply no reason for the mod to exist.
Describe the solution
Nix it. Obsolete the mod itself and mainline its effects. Add notes to the only content it changed explaining why things are the way they are, to carry us into a future with hopefully rebalanced fungals.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Well we could just delete the mod without mainlining it...
Testing
CI might need to be adjusted to account for it being obsolete. We'll see.
