Improved Wood Tuning

Rebalances the sources and consumers of wood, using the philosophy behind the Frosty Planet Pack DLC.

All changes by this mod are configurable in its options menu (thank you Peter Han!)

Wood consumption reduced from 600 -> 300 kg per cycle. This makes 1 wood = 1W of power, same as coal, though it takes up more space and outputs drastically more heat and CO2.

Running power reduced from 240 -> 60W. Assuming wood is converted to EtOH and burned for power, that makes 1 wood ~= 0.73W, up from ~0.43W. Outputs even more heat and CO2, but also polluted dirt and water.

Wood income unchanged (60/c). But with wood power buffed, Floxes are now competitive with Hatches. They still produce less power and half the meat, but also eat much less.

Wood production increased from 85 -> 102 wood per cycle. These meatless critters eat a lot of food, produce barely any sand, and need to swim in ethanol or risk reverting to their old habits. They are basically inferior to pokeshells in every way unless the colony is really strapped for wood. Now they are at least an OK source of power and materials.

Wood per harvest reduced from 300 -> 200, considering that wood is now much more valuable.

Wood per harvest increased from 75 -> 100. Still not a great idea to harvest them for wood, but it is at least an option that exists on some miserable world out there.
