I would like to be able to have a simple way to prevent a capsule item from being consumed when used. Something like consume_when_used, which would be a boolean. My usecase is fairly simple: I am spamming capsules to act as a method of mouse detection when dragging. See this GIF:
As you can see, I just have a stack of 1000 capsules that are used up very quickly. I would like the player to be able to hold one item, which would be able to spam placement without using up the item.

Thanks for your time!

Ok, I've added it for the next version of 0.17. "uses_stack" when false it won't use the item when thrown.

\o/ thank you so much! Best devs ever.
