Quality of Life Updates!

[p]Hi adventurers,[/p][p][/p][p]No big update to finish the year, but instead I've been busy lately improving many different aspects of the game, so let me introduce you to the Quality of Life Updates![/p][p]Here are the main areas I've worked on:[/p]

[p]Chests: I've added quite a few different chest types since the last update, you can store food, potions (and directly equip or consume from the chest), herbs, runes and crafting materials. I also fixed a few issues with them and added some features like the ability to filter what you want to store per chest.[/p]
[p]UI & UX: you can finally reorder your heroes! And I also fixed how the escape key behaves, it will finally close the current action/menu instead of always opening the pause menu.[/p]
[p]Weapons and armors can be destroyed to retrieve runes! So now, you should be able to get rid of all objects by selling them with the trading boat or destroying them for weapons and armors. You're not stuck forever with objects you can't get rid of.[/p]
[p]I also tried to improve various other things, like adding some new traits, adding a harvest area to be more consistent with cut plants areas, replacing placeholder models, adding a heat insulation factor to walls, etc...[/p]
[p]Finally I worked a bit on optimizations, so don't hesitate to let me know if you're getting better performances or not![/p]
