Wolfs QoL Mod v2

This has had to be rebuilt from the ground up so expect there to be a few bumps with this as it's rolled out. I also need to test and streamline it to be multi-version compatible.

This mod is aimed at improving the quality of life in this game by making changes to a significant number of definition files IOT re-balance game-play to what I believe works better. This includes, but is not limited to, balancing goods production and usage, adjusting upkeep, speeds, city services and industrial buildings, increasing distances for road reach and building areas, modifying infrastructure, along with looking to introduce new features and entities using existing assets.

Current Mod Version: v.2.2.2 (See change notes for details)
Supported Game version: 1.1.17

Disclaimer: This work is solely my own as I explore modding Sweet Transit, if you copy any of my work please remember to at least give credit where credit is due. Please note that it's only tested on released updates and not on Experimental branch. If it's a version behind the game I will endeavour to release an update within a day or two where possible. It is a work in progress that may change with each new version but I will try to limit the changes to small increments that allows players to adapt with each update.

Conflicts: Due to the large number of entries in the definitions files that it changes there are possibilities with any that edit upkeep, distances, etc. however I will ensure my edits are as minimal in impact and weighted to minimise this.

Completely rebuilt mod from the ground up.

Game stuff:

• Re-balanced unlock rules (slightly simplified - still learning if I can reduce the number of them)
  
• New city storage buildings introduced that are specialised to each production chain along with a market storage building
  
• New warehouse storage buildings allow for a custom warehouse layout with individual goods storage levels

Housing: Re-balanced upkeep and tax take (first pass)

• Increased taxes to offset introduction of costs of infrastructure
  
• Tweaked upkeep for balanced production later game (doubled potatoes, halved bread, etc.)

Factories: Re-balanced (first pass)

• Tweaked input/output (working to balance to factors of 10/15/20/30/60 for easier scalability)
  
• Road range increases
  
• Upkeep tweaked (storage now cost upkeep but factories themselves reduced)
  
• Increased limits on storage (upkeep vs need now dictates how many you build)

Infrastructure: Introduced to encourage growth as your tax income increases (first pass)

• Upkeep introduced for signals (rails was too expensive, this moderates the upkeep cost)
  
• Bridges have goods upkeep to encourage efficiency (Based on type - wood for wood, etc.)

Trains: Re balanced (first pass)

• Speed increases
  
• Upkeep increased (to encourage efficiency)
  
• Fuel reduced (will continue working on this to make it less a chore)

Wagons: Re balanced (first pass)

• Speed increases

Stations - Re-balance (first pass)

• Range increase
  
• Upkeep reduced on station itself
  
• Platforms now have upkeep so the size of your station dictates the cost in upkeep

Warehouse - Re-balance (first pass)

• Range increase
  
• Carriers amount increased

Electricity - Re-balance (first pass)

• Extended distance between poles and substations
  
• Balanced consumption to make more sense

More minor changes as well such as re-balanced workforce, production times to alter output/min, etc.

To do:

• Change storage of stations/distros to be modular (if possible) - This is to allow having specific increased storage
  
• Introduce 'off-site' factories so they don't rely on being in a city
  
• Tidy up errors found
  
• Update Electricity requirements
