New Implementations
-----------------------
- Added locks for houses. You may now install locks on houses. Suggested here, here, and here.
- Added two/three new lock types: Wooden Lock, and Steel Lock, and transitioned previous lock resources to the new type Metal Lock.
- Added Lockpicking. Locks on houses and containers, but not on Knarrs or gates, can now be picked. If you encounter a locked door or container, you may attempt to pick it with a new action icon "Pick Lock", under the Adventure Menu, available with "Locks & Bolts". When you pick a lock, the geometric mean of your Dex, Int, and Stealth values are compared against the installed lock's quality, modified by a unique factor per lock type, to determine a picking time. The time required to pick a lock ranges from a low of more or less zero time, to a high of 24 RL hours. Beyond that you can't pick the lock at all. Once the timer expires, the lock is picked, and you may enter/open. The lock remains picked until someone with a proper key uses the door or container in question again.
- There are security implications to this lock implementation that I'm sure we're not aware of, due to the peculiarities of your base designs, so I advice you to install the proper locks you want set. As a precaution we made it so that you can never install a lock if it would be a crime to do so. I hope that introducing this doesn't cause any huge problems for anyone.
- Introduced animal castration. Male domestic animals can now be castrated. When you castrate animals you receive a "Bollock" of the relevant type, which can be roasted or used in meat recipes. Suggested here.
- Added Fox Skeleton
-----------------------
- Knarr cargo holds should now be easier to access despite Knarr drift, and Knarrs shouldn't drift quite as far.
- Can now aggro through Slimes.
- Raw Goat meat can no longer be eaten. Copied code error.
