Fixed some bugs

This patch includes a new system that should greatly reduce the performance impact of killing large swaths of enemies and picking up their loot. I've done a few runs with it and haven't noticed any issues, but if you see anything weird please let me know!

My primary goal for the moment is to clean up the remaining bugs and hopefully make the game perform smoothly late into those 30-60 minute runs where things get a bit out of control.

Other fixes:

• Fixed (hopefully) a bug where the Crafter could break until the game restarted
  
• Made a series of performance improvements to various gameplay elements, primarily reducing memory fragmentation
  
• Fixed an issue where the Avatar of the Night wouldn't respect skills or items that increased the number of bats that could spawn.

As part of Next Fest, Mars Tactics will be streaming a gameplay tutorial video on the store page. Come take a look and try out the demo!

• Disabled FSR 2.1 as the default setting.
  
• Included the bestiary feature for trackable domesticable animals.
  
• Introduced the snake entity and its venom.
  
• Enabled the use of an antidote with cow's milk to counteract snake venom.

Fixes:

• Refined animal interactions to align with their food chain, resulting in more natural behavior.
  
• Resolved the issue preventing the use of beds in multiplayer game sessions.
  
• Corrected the vulnerability that allowed the addition of beds and totems in previously claimed areas.
  
• Fixed the oversized bag issue on mannequins.

We have heard all of your feedback and we have instituted a hotfix for the demo. We acknowledge that we still have more work to do as we move forward to EA release, but we wanted to implement the changes that we were able to diagnose and correct while the demo is still active.

The new build is out now and includes:

-Fixed an error in the time system causing log files to become overly large.
-Fixed context menu showing duplicate commands.
-Cancelled and deconstructed buildings no longer block placement of new structures.
-Survivors waking up from sleep are now moved next to the bed to avoid an issue with getting stuck inside the bed.
-Fixed minor issue that could cause AI to think it was adjacent to something when it was not.
-Fixed AI freeze after returning from expeditions.
-Fixed camera spinning the wrong way when mashing the rotate key.
-Fixed survivors sometimes disappearing when sent on expedition.
-Berry bushes were displaying berries regardless of their growth status, now they correctly display them only when ready to harvest.
-Solved the flickering issue with the tree fade effect, they now fade correctly.
-When a game save was present, New Game would incorrectly load that save. Now the Continue button can be used to resume a previously saved game. The ingame pause menu now allows saving in addition to the quicksave key.
-When selecting an enemy, players were able to drag RMB to create a cone, as if giving a command to the enemy. This has been resolved.
-Issuing a right-click command to a survivor no longer deselects them.
-Various improvements to the pathfinding code, which was causing survivors to bug out when building or hauling.
-Building floors now automatically removes plants.
-When placing a door order on an unbuilt wall the door would disappear when the wall was built. Now the door persists correctly.

This is a small hotfix patch to potentially resolve an issue where some users were unable to interact with the main menu and bring Scrap back when disposing items.

• Added a rotational arrow when placing items (some of them may not be facing the right direction, but hopefully it's still useful)
  

• Employees no longer automatically restock trash items, but still do so if you manually specify it -- this is so that employees are more intuitive for new players

• Removed some unnecessary mixer groups from vehicle audio mixer
  
• Removed an extra compressor from sfx mixer that wasn't doing anything
  
• Re-routed wind audio thru environmental sfx mixer
  
• Added tree destruction particle sound
  
• Tweaked more source attenuation settings

• Fixed a case where microphone capture code running even when push to talk wasn't pressed, which should add some FPS gains

• Fixed a potential issue where main menu buttons aren't appearing
  
• Fixed disposing items in inventory not dropping scrap
  
• Fixed 2 potential issues where map progress could be lost if the player crashed
  
• Fixed potential disconnect when a client joins a game while the host is changing employee settings
