Unit-specific grinders

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

Well believe it or not it is the theme of many science fiction stories... humans as yummy alien cattle.

And even in Yuri missions one of the points is that he grinds American civilians to fuel his war machine.

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)
