Game difficulty settings, fish traps, multiple improvements and more (v0.6.7)

Survivors,

a new update is now available!

Every playstyle is different, many of you have asked to make the game harder or easier, let nutrition and hydration diminish faster or slower, stop hostile animals to go after the player or many other suggestions. It's not possible to make an experience fitting all players, that's why you can now customize your game to your liking!

However, especially new players should feel encouraged to start with the default settings, as those are the intended way to play and experience the game.

Update to v0.6.7:
  • Added game difficulty setting for AI hostility
  • Added game difficulty setting for nutrition depletion
  • Added game difficulty setting for status penalty
  • Added 'New game' menu for game customization
  • Added fish trap building (chance to catch a fish or crab over time)
  • Added plank door building
  • Added craftable iron pickaxe tool
  • Small clay deposits now drop 50% more resources (9 instead of 6)
  • Big clay deposits now drop 50% more resources (18 instead of 12)
  • Improved building ghost indicator to be visible when looking through water (a prior ghost indicator submerged in water was completely transparent)
  • Improved fire particle system for torches (especially for the use on boats and rafts)
  • Improved overall performance by disabling unused functions on multiple actors
  • Improved overall performance by adding LODs (Level of Details) to multiple frequently occurring objects
  • Increased start nutrition and hydration values
  • Fixed that health keeps decreasing when started drowning but equipping an air tank
  • Changed the main menu song (so that content creators no longer need to upload a license in order to prevent copyright claims)
  • Changed credit menu descriptions
  • Changing game difficulties per command will be saved and reloaded (can be used for existing savegames)
  • Added new commands
    Added command to change AI hostility

    The new commands arguments are visible through the /help command in-game
