[Deprecated] Verdant Villagers

Now that Rust & Romance has dropped, this is largely pointless. I'll leave it up, but I've not had desire to work on it for a fair while anyway. No further updates will be given.

A mod that brings love (and more) to Necesse.

Currently, this is just a mod I'm making to add in things that I want in Necesse. It's not really meant to have separation of concerns or any of the like, so it's a little hodge podge in its additions.

'Romance' has come to Necesse. Your Settlers have a chance to decide amongst themselves who their partner for life (literally, I've added the ability to get together, but not break up so far, planned is a fully interpersonal system) is. They gain a negative mood if they don't share an abode with them (two single beds or one double bed, doesn't really matter which), and conversely gain a positive mood if they do!

Added onto this, is that different Settler types have different furnishing desires now! They have favourite items that, if there is a total absence of, will net them a negative mood. However, having 'all' of them in their room (generally about 3 from a list of upto 20ish items) gets them increasing mood benefits! 33% of their favourite items in their abode negates the negative and then some, 66% negates it more, all of them grants a sizaable chunk! More info towards the bottom of the page.

The mission board has been updated! To lower the chance of another mod also modifying the mission board menu and thus our mods fighting, I've added the button to toggle between mission board and quest board to the top right of the menu, next to the close button! The style of the board is very much so placeholder. Currently, once per day (around 8AM), the quest board will refresh with new requests. At this point in time, all the quests net you 300 coins (even if one quest is for 1 iron ore, and the other is for 34 iron ore). This has been written in a way that lets me add new quests to generate quite easily, so by all means hit me up with your suggestions! There are also Personal Requests, currently this is just a villager alerting you to the fact they want to move in with their partner. It SHOULDN'T flag up as a quest if they are already moved in, but if it does, then you can either abandon the quest or just complete it and get more coins. Up to you. This will eventually net timed mood bonuses for Settlers and other item-based rewards.

So that you can see if the board has quests, I've also added two quest markers to it. If there is a yellow ! above it, there's a fetch quest. If there's a green !, there's a personal request.

I've also added in another set of bookshelves. They're all made from the bookshelf you want to upgrade and a tungsten lantern. This will net you a Lantern Bookshelf. I know. I'm a master of naming. This is just a bookshelf that gives off light and is considered a light source for rooms, so no more pesky lighting issues if you've got a lovely room set out and forgot to put down a candle!

This is the first time I'm actually releasing a mod into the wild, so do what you do if you're even reading this at all.
