Making unit-specific Grinders.
For example, a Grinder with a list of which units it can grind.

For flavor and usability cases this is very important. For example you could have a "cow farm" that regularly spawns cows. Then you could have a Slaughterhouse that can grind cows into resources... but should not grind tanks or infantry!

In a more exotic case, you could have aliens mind-controlling human civilians to turn into food. Again, they should not be able to grind vehicles or themselves...

Etc. etc., this would lend itself for very interesting mission mechanics.

"Grinder.grinds=unit1,unit2,unit3..."

Other unit types would not get the enter cursor on the grinder.

Aliens turn humans into food? this is semi-cannibalism Laughing

Another possible tags:

On unittype:

Can.BeGrinded= [boolean] (yes/no, 1/0, true/false)

(for unit types that can't ever be grinded)

On Grinder:

Cannot.grind=Unit1,Unit2,Unit3

(for grinder types that can't grind specific unittypes)

A kind eats another kind is not cannibalism at all.

It would be better if Specific Passengers can be expanded to restrict occupiers, abductees, absorbees and grindees.
