ReFood

This is my proposal for Kenshi's food system.

I addressed some inconsistencies and added things that seemed missing, such as the ability to create your own ration packs and dried fish (there were already some mods for this, but they either had or overlooked important details for me, such as the exaggerated production time for rations, so I decided to create my own version).

Overall, this is an adjustment to recipes and food nutritional values, taking into account the base value given to meat and crops, as well as an adjustment to their value depending on their ingredients. Some foods will have a slightly reduced nutritional value, but will cost fewer cats or be easier to produce.

I also added new icons for some food types and adjusted their size in the inventory.

I've also added new dedicated storage containers for various types of food. This will make it much easier to automate and close assembly lines, and your characters can now harvest food from them.

CHANGES:

- Advanced Cooking and Desert Cooking research are level 1, so only the first small research table is required. Basically, you can now start your food empire with a small house.

- Recipes that use water as an ingredient now require potable water jugs, which you can craft on the cooking stove itself. (This can make cooking more tedious, but I've added a usefulness to the most useless item in the game: the water jug.) If it becomes too tedious, I'll make changes.

- Bread has been split in two to make it easier to buy from stores early in the game, but less efficient in terms of inventory space.

- Gohan's meat now contains meat.

- The food bucket is now made with flour.

- Rations can now be crafted and use 2 dried meats (requires Advanced Cooking research), reducing crafting time.

- Fish can now be dried (only thin fish and requires Advanced Cooking research).

NOTES:

- Ration pack and dried meat storage can be placed outside (useful for feeding your miners).

- A small general item storage box has been added that can be placed outside (similar to a wooden backpack).
