An useless entity type would be really usefull in mods like my mods (for the underground mining drill, that now drops the items on the ground like a normal mining drill) or for the ccmod (warbanner)
And Im sure that there will be much more things where this would be usefull.

Re: Useless entity type
There will (eventually) be a custome lua entity. That will be really powerful. On the other had it is quite a lot of work to get done:)
