Bug Phobia NOT Supported

• Bugs Trap (building): Breeds edible bugs using basic resources.
  
• Worms (food): Jar of edible bugs.
  
• Bugs Bar (food): A compact, higher-calorie ration made from bugs.
  
• Recipe (Microbe Musher): Convert Worms into Bugs Bars.

Input per batch: 60 kg Dirt + 90 kg Water.
A duplicant must deliver Dirt and Water to start each batch.
Output per batch: 5 kg Worms + 145 kg Mud (solid by-product).
Runs in batches and handles deliveries automatically so it doesn’t get stuck.
Every 1kg of Worms, a duplicate must work for a few seconds (Patch 1.02)

• Worms:
  Calories: 100 kcal
  Food quality: –1
  Eating Worms adds +15% Stress.
  
  
• Bugs Bar:
  Calories: 800 kcal
  Food quality: –1

Provides a reliable early-game food loop: Dirt + Water → Worms → Bugs Bar.
Bars are great for bulk calories, but both foods are low quality, so long-term morale still favors proper cuisine. The mud is stored uselessly until you research the mud press, which will return just the materials used.

Due to the extensive animation I want to do, the building is currently static, but it will be updated with animation of bugs (currently just worms) climbing the poles and landing in the jar. [/p]

Added "Calories Allowed" to the "Calories Available" menu, so you know exactly how many calories are marked for consumption. Only works when the food is prohibited for all duplicates.

New overlay for bugs Although this is a fairly feasible idea in principle, I'll have to practice quite a bit before I can attempt to implement it. I want to clone the germ system in a new overlay, with the germs spreading differently and using bugs. They would start on a single tile near an oxygenated spot, and depending on the bug, they would spread more widely through their appropriate terrain, with ants being the deepest. Other insects would develop outdoors, such as bees near flowers, or cockroaches in the dirt. Fleas would spread in the water, helping to purify contaminated water, including a new type of water called stagnant, which I'll detail later.The materials would include a new parameter to determine how many bugs are inside, and exactly that amount would be extracted, extracting bugs only if the element contains them. This has to be developed in a way that ensures it doesn't affect the game's performance, which is essential.
