Allow “using” grease to slather it on your body and improve swim speed and acid resistance temporarily. Later on we can make better grease with appropriate materials to go faster and protect more. When greased, you can break grabs more easily, taking less damage from Sandspear and similar enemies.

it’s a crafting material and I think that would be unnecessary

I endorse this, just because there’s not use for grease right now

also if you have grease on your body you have a chance to slip inside your base and take 1 point of damage, and also you leave grease stains wherever you walk

to the commenter above the comment above mine, there will be more uses in crafting

How does being greasy make you swim faster?
