Slime pits - THEY NEVER STOP!

[Rivet-the-Zombie]

As it has been recently pointed out on the forum, slime pits are a pain because there's no way to 'kill' them like there is with fungal infestations, triffid groves, and ant hills.

Since we recently added a superblob entity that commands other blobs, how about we tag it so that killing it off reduces blob spawn rates?

Mechanically, no argument (you make it to the bottom, make the kill, and get out alive? YOU EARNED IT) but it's gonna need a lore reason why the blobs are suddenly quiescent.

Perhaps the XE037 decides to hole up 8-) and self-preserve until it can develop another brain blob? (Figure a year at least, give the player some time?)

Can't you stop them spawning by burning every single tile of slime in the area to ash?

It seems to work for me.
