Add Negative Matter to Miraclium - RSOD - 09-27-2025
(will PR if this gets enough positive feedback)
simple: add negative matter as a possible material obtained when heating miraclium. note that this would be very rare.
why?: some maps don't have a loafer, and it's not very fun rushing to set it up if you want to do negative matter shenanigans. this provides an alternate solution, albeit a lot less consistent. (note that miraclium already lets you obtain otherwise unobtainable materials, like spacelag, so negative matter wouldn't be anything exactly new)

Negative matter being rare = good.
Negative matter being rare due to a device that may or may not exist = not good.
I do not like RNG top of RNG or in this case.. RNG on top of "Well we gotta select a map where there is a loafer so I can do negative matter shennigans"
It will make people want to switch maps due to it having a loafer.
Alternatively... JUST MAKE LOAFERS ORDERABLE VIA CARGO OR SUCH.

making loafers orderable would defeat the fact that they can't be unwelded / moved and can only be syndie mechscanned, and even if you made it very expensive there would still be issues

Easy fix then. Put a loafer in the space diner that you have to fix. So it's always there. Also sea diner and such.
