Add a Heating Counter for LHE Explosions (#1455)

* Add a Heating Counter for LHE Explosions

- Change the LHE code to start counting up to a specific value on every tick where there's no distilled water, only exploding after a certain time has passed without water, instead of instantly.

* Fixes

* spotlessApply (#1456)
