Minor Slime launchers waste time going after fish in fish tanks

[Berrik]

Noticed this on cog2 with a sec blob.

I understand the bug but I think it makes sense.

The blob wants to consume everything. And by everything, we mean everything.

Voting for feature.

[Berrik]

The blob can't actually get rid of the fish in any way though so it pointlessly wastes energy.

[Technature]

Proposed fix.

Let blob murder fish.

Cheesing slime launchers by tricking them into going after other targets sounds like an interesting strategy, and it seems pretty situational enough to mark this as a feature

[Cirrial]

So I'm indirectly the reason this happens, whoops. Originally mobcritters (which fish are, which is why you can observe their thrilling underwater lives as a ghost) weren't targeted by blob slime launchers or attacks, but after a special round where clownspider sec handily dispatched a blob helpless to defend itself mobcritters were made valid targets.

It should be feasible to check if a mobcritter has an active player in it, I'll look into fixing this.
