The first of many standalone mods featuring creatures first seen in my ASE mod, ARK: Reclamation. "Slags" were always a crowd favorite (and to my Survivors from across the pond, it's not the "slag" you're thinking of. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten questions on the name haha).
Slags, this time around, have gotten a slight redesign (that I, personally, think is an improvement) where, instead of their shell getting a material rework... I just let them carry the resource they signify on their backs! Plus, if you damage them and they "go back in their shell", their bodies actually slither UNDER the resource mesh on their backs, which is just... chef's kiss.
Basic overview: Each TYPE of Slag can produce specific resources (on top of the resources Achatina already produce) while on wander... and since no one wants to chase down Slags all the time, I also gave them the ability to go into "turret mode": allowing them to be on wander WITHOUT them wandering away.
