## About The Pull Request
this pr adds a new fish to lavaland and icebox, the lavaloop! i noticed
neither has any exclusive fish so im trying to add one of my own. u can
find this fish by using reinforced rods on lava or plasmarivers. this
fish is also lobstrosity's favorite delicacy as you will now often see
AI controlled lobstrosities fishing for it in lava and then eating it.
because of its body's curvature and razor sharp spikes, this fish can
also be used as a make-shift boomerang weapon against mining mobs,
although it comes with some new mechanics. u can increase the damage it
does to mobs by winding up ur throw. when the bar reaches purple, this
indicates maximum damage. however, if it goes over the purple, it will
react violently and explode your arm off, so you have to time it just
right to get the best damage possible. On icebox, instead of dealing raw
damage, fish will freeze mobs depending on how long you charged ur
throw. charging it for too long will cause the fish to freeze you
instead

while its nowhere near as effective as using PKA's or crushers, it can
be a useful tool for hermits and ashwalkers.
## Why It's Good For The Game
having lobstrosities fish and hunt for it makes lavaland feel more like
an ecosystem with a food chain. also i think tossing fish at eldritch
horrors is a funny way to fight them

## About The Pull Request
Converts the `bullet_act`/`hitby` overrides on
`simple_animal/hostile/asteroid` into an element,
This is currently "reused" in that it's also applied to its equivalent
on `basic/mining` although some day hopefully the `hostile/asteroid`
subtype will stop existing.
This is a specific-ass component but it's not totally impossible
something else will want it some day.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I'm a little mixed on this one honestly, I did this because I am
adapting some old code but I would be open to the idea that this should
just be left where it is (`bullet_act`/`hitby` overrides) and just
copied/pasted onto `basic/mining`.
I am also open to the idea that we don't need this at all and should
just delete it, it seems unecessarily protective to me but I wasn't
around at the time and maybe people really _were_ chucking hundreds of
floor tiles at goliaths and that was a problem.
If it _is_ a problem then I guess this extends those protections to
Bileworms now, because they need to be more durable and less possible to
take down using non-mining tools, obviously.
## Changelog

fix: Bile/Vileworms now have the same projectile and thrown weapon
resistances of other mining mobs.
