- Added the item and recipe for crafted Hide Pants.

BALANCE

- Removed some instances of unwanted trees (not enough space to place). Still some unwanted trees left that we need to explore.
-- Zones `Farm` and `FarmLand` now have the biome `farmmix_forest`. This reduce the number of unwanted trees to nearly 0.
-- The remaining unwanted trees are due to exclusion of dirt as a wanted floor.

- Adjusted WildPlants to be much more common across all biomes.

- Adjusted Twine and Rope recipe inputs for Dogbane to be 1 and 2, matching the Hemp recipes.
- Updated foraging for Search Focus and Sprite Affinity to have a much greater role and effect when searching for specific categories.
- Updated foraging to prefer the Focus Category set when choosing an affinity category for a sprite.
- Updated and increased chanceToMoveIcon, chanceToCreateIcon affinity settings for most categories. This means more affinity icons will be rolled to move or create a new icon.
- Changed sprite affinity for most categories to GenericPlants, as SpecialPlants were too rare to use for affinity for some of these categories.
- Garbage Bag and Tarp Headsacks, Tank Tops and Short Skirts will require less Duct Tape to craft.
- Hide and Leather Tailoring crafts now require the Sharp Knife or Scissors used to not be dull.
- Increased the durability of Mace Heads.
- Nail-Spiked weapons will drop 1 unit of Nails on the ground when they break.
- Smaller weapons require less Nails to spike than larger weapons; this require adding a second recipe to handle the smaller weapons, but the existing recipe also uses a fair amount of Nails.
- Can-Reinforced and Sheet-Metal Reinforced Baseball Bats will degrade slightly faster, but only slightly.
- Sheet-Metal Reinforced Baseball Bats are slightly heavier.
- Increased the required skill level to forge Goblets, as they're much fancier than metal cups..
- Reduced the Bite and Scratch protection for crafted Hide Pants, Coats and Jackets to 10/20 from 20/40. Hide clothing should be inferior to proper leather clothing.
- Adjusted the requirements for several Hide clothing recipes to make them more practical to perform in Forest Map scenario.
- The crude Hide clothing recipes can use Thread or Twine interchangeably; this is because Thread may be difficult to produce in some scenarios.
- Additionally the crudest of the Hide clothing can also be crafted with either of an Awl or sewing Needle; again, this is so players can produce the barest minimum of clothing in Forest Map scenarios. Imagine Rambo First Blood poking a hole in some hides with a sharp rock and then threading sinews through them.
- The higher tier Hide clothing requires the recipe to be known or researched; characters with the Tailoring trait will know the recipes, and a magazine also teaches them.
- Balanced Garbage Bag and Tarp clothing to have consistent Scratch Defense; Garbage Bag provides 5%, Tarp provides 10%.
- The simplest Garbage Bag clothing items don't require a Scissors or Sharp Knife to produce.

- Changed ThumpersToDamage to be a scaling value which reduces as the fence is bent further.
- Removed fences becoming weaker as they are bent as they now require less zombies per stage.
- Added damaging of fences when zombies climb through gaps when present on late stage bendable fences.
- This allows zombies to break the fence fully after a lot of zombies climb through, even if they stop thumping due to the easier path.
- Damage amount is a random small value adjusted by the sandbox setting FenceDamageMultiplier.
- Balanced butchering on the ground
- Boredom inside structures increases too quickly
- Renamed recipes that create 2 pieces of armor so that they show up closer to their sets' other recipes in the list.
- Balanced time for animations that are too short for SFX/Timed action length
- Update trapping zones support.
- Removed old birch & pine
