Homesteading part 2 & Combat update, stabler-er finetune (1.16.4-rc.2)

Dear Homesteaders
v1.16.4-rc.2, a unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager.

We did some thorough playtesting and found several spots where the game felt unbalanced. So this minor update will grow into a somewhat larger balancing patch. I'm sure many of you will be happy with those changes

For our Vintagehosting customers: This update also adds the ability to force stop a unresponsive server. If you do have an unresponsive server on occasion, please make sure to update to version 1.16.3 or newer.

• Tweak: Gameplay balancing
  • Halved produce drop rate on wild crops (they were doubled in 1.16, unintentionally)

  • The hacking spear can now also be made from bisbronze and tinbronze
  • Increased fruit tree cutting growth chance (25% -> 40%)

  • Beds now stack (1 -> 2)
• Tweak: Rifts sounds volume is now reduced by 85% when the player is not in direct line-of-sight of them
• Tweak: Distant rifts are now less visible
• Tweak: Can now do increment time via command in months and years /time add 2 years or /time add 2 months
• Tweak: Reduced creature aggro sound rate if they cannot find a path. Should mitigate endless drifter growling around your base.
• Fixed: Hitting creatures with a torch did not ignite them on occasion
• Fixed: Should fix multiplayer animation derp when a player has a torch in hands and similar
• Fixed: Itemstack tooltips sizing derps on sub-8 gui scales
• Fixed: Consuming liquids played the eat sound instead of the drink sound in some cases
• Fixed: Server disk space checks after the server has been started were failing silently, potentially causing loss of many hours of progress

• Fixed: Small memory leak in crates
• Fixed: Some derp with fruit tree branches not regrowing after being cut
• Fixed: Pathfinding issues:
  • Entities that have fall damage would be willing to fall from greater heights instead of the opposite effect (but did add a reckless attribute so drifters still fall from large heights)
  • Creatures believed they could walk through diagonal openings. Should mitigate cases where drifters bunch up in corners
  • Potentially fixes hares "leaping" fences in winter when they should not [Detail: fixes a pathfinding issue where creatures believed they could step high off a low block such as snow layer]
  • Chickens looking for a Henbox to lay in are now less likely to give up when half-way there
• Fixed: Rifts not affected by fog
• Fixed: Dense fog causing fog even at very near distances. Should mitigate heavy fog inside homes a bit
