✦ specialized classes ✦

Most code updated to work with 1.22.0

Added a new class handbook page system that automatically displays all of their exclusive recipes, both grid recipes and those exclusive to workstations.

Travertine tiles added to stonecutting bench and assembly with clay for Quarrier

Hunter gets new recipes to use raw fat to oil hides, and hide yields have been changed to reflect the 1.22 nerf

Messenger gets recipes for the new big and small lanterns

Fixed Forester firewood recipe to accept quartered logs

Fixed Messenger being able to use meteoric iron in path recipes

Brickmaker gets recipes for oil lamps and ceramic tiles
Blackguard gets recipes for crude, normal, and large bellows

Added licorice and fennel to the various crop modifiers, and recipes for its seeds to the sprouting table.

Farmhand gets recipes for double-yield stinkbait using a mortar and pestle

Vintner now gets cuttings instead of berry bushes as well as the new types of berries and fruit trees

I have been unable to test most compatibility

added compatibility with Anthro Players: https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/44170

changed universal herbivore bait so it can be used in reinforced crate traps, slight tweak to reinforced crate trap recipe

Hotfix: tried again to fix the PML swimming crash, figured out how to forcefully load my harmony patch after others when they do the dumb prefix-overwrite fixes, added even more null guards

Null-guard + explicit compatibility with Player Model Lib’s swimming speed should fix a crash when a Farmhand goes for a swim.

FoodShelves compatibility: fixed erroneous “meteorite-iron” into “meteorite” in skipvariants for existing cooling recipes as to stop console warnings.
Added new grain and flour storage recipes in earlier flour sacks and ceiling jars to the Farmhand.

Standardized the drawbacks. I’ve tried far too long to have them be unique, and I’ve focused way too hard on having classes not expand into similar niches, which just ended up making them feel miserable to play.
There are now three main drawback traits:

Delicate: -10% ore yield, -10% ore mining speed, -10% stone mining speed, and +25% temporal stability loss rate
Uncultured: -25% crop seed yield, -25% crop fiber yield, -25% crop produce yield, and -25% fruit tree graft yield
Sheltered: -25% foraging yield, -25% wild crop yield, and -10% animal harvest yield

Since progression is focused entirely around metal, the metallurgists (blackguard and spelunker) generally have both Uncultured and Sheltered, negative traits that cause them to struggle to produce food for themselves. The other classes just have one negative trait, primarily Delicate for surface-dwellers, with some exceptions; the Butcher retains their -50% rusty gear drop rate (to rein in her creature harvesting rate).

Made the specialist bags line up with their intended classes. Messenger can craft all four specialist bags, Brickmaker can craft the soil bag, Archivist the scroll case, and Butcher the insulated crate.

Moved Spelunker’s old rock-processing chain over to Quarrier. Quarriers can now break rock down into stone, gravel, sand, and wavy sand, both through grid recipes and through the stonecutting bench, and can reassemble 8 stones back into a full rock block.

Expanded the compounding vat with more mortar-and-pestle processing. Spelunker can now make lime, salt, powdered borax, powdered sulfur, and an entirely new recipe for 8 saltpeter from 4 compost and 16 lime, while Butcher can make salt and Brickmaker can make lime there as well.

Added cheaper bomb recipes for Spelunker. Ore blasting bombs, stone blasting bombs, and scrap bombs now use flax fibers where twine was needed and flax twine where linen was needed.

Removed Compulsive from Spelunker, since they no longer have the old stone-to-sand processing line.

Fixed workstation recipe browsing so recipes with identical outputs but different trait requirements display separately instead of hiding one another to support new shared workstation recipes

Removed a Butchery compatibility trait that increases butchering speed for the Butcher as it was causing issues for some folks.

2.0.0!

Fix for the scrollable Traits tab overwriting the Combat Overhaul armor tab in some situations where CO loaded first - it now looks up the tab’s index instead of guessing
Some minor language tidying
Fix Vintner and Florist using ranged damage instead of steady aim in CO versions of combat traits

2.0.0-rc.2

Gave Blackguard back +5 hp as part of Warlord and +10% ore yield as part of Blacksmith trait.

Replaced the Farmhand’s +40% young crop seed yield with 100% chance for drops to be replaced with one seed using the rare drop system. This should prevent infinite seed-to-rot-to-compost loops when other mods modify seed drops.

Added a new Quarrier trait as Stone Quarry mod compatibility. Now every splitter plug in a set syncs up; when you hammer one, every other plug in the set wedges itself deeper. It made quarrying feel a lot smoother in testing. It should help the Quarrier retain its edge in stonework where this mod would otherwise render them mostly obsolete.

Fixed the character menu traits rendering so scrolling actually works

Brickmaker has a 75% chance to save shovel durability.
Butcher has a 75% chance to save knife (and cleaver) durability.
Clockmaker has a 75% chance to save chisel, saw and hammer durability.
Farmhand has a 75% chance to save hoe and scythe durability.

Vintner has a 75% chance to save shears durability and a 50% chance to save knife durability.

Archivist’s chisel-clutter collection now respects Break permission, instead of just Use permission. It should no longer be usable in protected places like trader huts, the Resonance Archives or player-claimed areas.

Butcher now has the Rancher trait, -25% aggro range.

Farmhand has the Fisherman trait, which for now just gives it +100% swimming speed.
Messenger’s Swift trait now gives it +50% increased path speed bonus. Meaning a stone path will give them 1.45x speed instead of 1.30x. Their overall speed boost has been reduced to 20% from 30% though.

Malefactor’s Sneak now gives them -50% speed penalty from sneaking, letting them skulk about much faster. 

Made Spelunker’s panning boosts compatible with Knapster, which otherwise broke them because of Knapster overwriting all of the vanilla code.

Changed the grass rare-drop-chances for Tailor and Florist. Tailor now has a 10% chance for papyrus and 10% chance for flax fiber, and Florist now has a 20% chance for horsetail and 20% chance for cattails.

Added a new class picker inspired by PML to add a scrolling function, so that I no longer need to worry about compatibility traits flooding out of the text box and can be more verbose in my descriptions.

Recipe changes:

All: Nullified tool durability usage, in most cases.

Archivist: Removed recipe to duplicate paintings.
Added recipe to change any clutter into 4 rot.

Brickmaker: Added grid recipes for double-yield mudbricks and daub using respectively a shovel or mortar-and-pestle

Butcher: Added early recipes for husbandry tools, like troughs, henboxes and whatnot. Can now make the new Universal herbivore feed and Universal carnivore feed.

Clockmaker: Can repair fried base return teleporters with any jonas part.

Can use a base return teleporter (frying it in the process) to turn a gear into a temporal gear.

Florist: Can use pigments to create paintings and wallpapers,

can use pigments to create decorated vessels, planters, and flowerpots.

Forester: Added higher-yield recipe for firewood, 3 logs → 16 firewood (instead of 12). Can grid-craft charcoal less efficiently than pit-digging by using a lit torch and 32 firewood to obtain 8 charcoal and an extinguished torch.

Hunter: Can now use reeds for arrows as fletching instead of feathers. Compatible with Butchering bone arrows and CO: More Arrows’ bodkin, barbed, and blunt arrows. Can also carve vanilla bone arrows out of bones.

Workstation changes:

Big workstation system refactor, again. Now uses vanilla recipe registration and shows up in the handbook, and internally uses the recipe folders properly. Schema is much more akin to grid recipes.

Changed the Stake Anvil into the Leatherworking Station. Used by the Messenger to make the new specialist bags: currently the Soil Bag, the Messenger Bag, the Scroll Case and the Insulated Crate. Also used by the Hunter to scrape hides.
Added the Cartographer Station. Currently used by the Messenger to make path and road blocks.
Added new models for the Woodcarving Table and Stonecutting Bench.
Added the Compounding Vat, a mixing-and-grinding station used by the Florist to make pigments, the Farmhand to make fertilizers, the Spelunker to make the new paydirt, and the Brickmaker to make mortar and plaster.

Added the Sprouting Table, a greenery station that uses compost to turn things into seeds or saplings. Used by the Farmhand to make crop seeds, the Florist to make flowers and leaves, the Vintner to make berry-bushes and tree cuttings, and the Forester to make saplings out of logs.

Revamped the Swage Block. Deleted all variants. Now only the Brass variant exists, to bring it in line with the other workstations. It now uses 20:1 bits instead of ingots and they do not need to be workable anymore, neither temperature nor metal-tier wise. It can no longer craft arrowheads but it can craft ingots.

New items:
Specialist bags can be crafted by the Messenger:

Messenger bag: Has 10 slots and no restrictions. Greatest general bag. Requires sturdy leather and a steel plate.
Soil bag: Has 16 slots to carry soils, sands, gravels, packed and rammed earth, stone paths, clay, peat blocks, saltpeter, rot, compost, coals, hoes, and shovels.

Scroll case: Has 16 slots to carry scrolls, parchment, paper, books, quills, pigments, paintings, tapestries, signs, sieves, chisels, clutter, bookshelves and banners.

Insulated crate: Has 16 slots to carry salt and most food items. Does not currently reduce spoilage rate.

Paydirt:

Spelunker can now craft paydirt to aim for certain normally unavailable panning outputs at better rates; crystalline (gemstones galore), carbonaceous (coals and fuels) or metallic. When Expanded Matter is installed, the paydirts yield minerals enabled by that mod, too.

Asphalt roads:

Messenger can now craft asphalt roads with black coal, gravel, and sand. They give a 1.5x speed bonus. (Stone paths give 1.3x).

Universal carnivore feed and universal herbivore feed: 

Butchers can make this shelf-stable feed for all carnivores or all herbivores that can be cheaply crafted in bulk, with 1 of any meat or berry and 2 of any dry grass making 8.

Gave Blackguard +5 hp as part of Warlord and +10% ore yield as part of Blacksmith trait.

Replaced the Farmhand’s +40% young crop seed yield with 100% chance for drops to be replaced with one seed using the rare drop system. This should prevent infinite seed-to-rot-to-compost loops when other mods modify seed drops.

Added a new Quarrier trait as Stone Quarry mod compatibility. Now every splitter plug in a set syncs up; when you hammer one, every other plug in the set wedges itself deeper. It made quarrying feel a lot smoother in testing. It should help the Quarrier retain its edge in stonework where this mod would otherwise render them mostly obsolete.

Fixed the character menu traits rendering so scrolling actually works and hopefully fixing a bug with Combat Overhaul

hotfix for workstation crashes with Smithing Plus and other stuff that uses the recipeselector, this one was on me srry
hotfix for green pigment unavailable/crashing on trying to view handbook
hotfix for sulfur bandages from florist using up the bowl instead of honey inside it (the healing properties of pot sherds remained to be proven)

big internal refactors, please keep your eyes peeled for bugs as always, thank u for ur patience!
i appreciate all the feedback and interaction

handbook link refining

changed the recipe trait descriptions to be more concise and link directly to whatever is craftable
unfortunately these (the stonemason in particular) are rather laggy because it’s doing a lot of individual item searches at once

blackguard: small nerf :(

blackguard hand-crafting recipes removed and replaced with new swage workstation, dupe exploit hopefully fixed, because very stupidly at some point i changed the input from a plate to an ingot but forgot to change the output to be halved
blackguard additional damage bonus has been reduced to 10% as to put them at the same level as the warrior combat role (but with all the armor perks of the bulwark damage role). the ranged damage boost was also reduced to 10%. they are still the best fighters overall, they are just now equal to Warriors in terms of damage output.
for combat overhaul, i tried to give them the ability to parry projectiles but that’s linked to a trait instead of an attribute, and i had little luck getting my mod to recognize that trait.

malefactor

added the ability to craft rusty gears into scrap at a 1:1 ratio using a mortar, and can now choose which weapon to get from a scrap kit by adding a stick. torch holder recipe made more expensive, now requires a metal part or nails-and-strips

clothier: no more thatch

removed the chance to drop thatch on grass harvest and removed recipe to turn thatch into flax fiber, because i annoyingly couldn’t remove the haybales-to-thatch-roofs or dismantle-thatch-roofs-to-thatch recipes you could get 1 flax per dry grass if you crafted it into roofs…

mortar and pestle

my first item! added a new mortar and pestle tool :) it’s a cheap craft available to everyone, but currently only used in some specialist recipes

then immediately added 11 new pigments for the florist; flowers and some organic matter can be used to make pigments, which dissolve instantly into 5l of dye of their type (strong tannin for brown pigment).

reworked brickmaker recipes: 8 clay and 1 lime makes 8 mortar, 8 sand and 1 lime makes 8 plaster.
the heat/water is abstracted conveniently so that they’re better at making these materials in bulk;

likewise spelunker’s lime crushing recipe was moved to brickmaker and uses mortar-and-pestle now
spelunker’s salt crushing recipe was moved to butcher and uses mortar-and-pestle now

farmhand’s fertilizer recipes now use the mortar-and-pestle instead of a hoe, though the soil upgrades still use a hoe.
farmhand can accelerate perishing with a bunch of new rot recipes, where 1 rot + 1 vegetable/fruit/grain/mushroom/seed will make 2 rot. this is a good way to get rid of bulk seeds and produce to craft compost from later!

workstation system
sometimes you want to get a lot of different outputs from a single ingredient. and it just feels nice to have something in-world :) ive been chipping away hard at a modular workstation system for specific classes, might release stuff related to it standalone someday. some stations require you to hold specific items to open the menu (swage, stonecutting and woodcarving) and then show you a ton of variants for that item, others just show you a list of items you can craft, usually requiring multiple ingredients.

clockmaker station: tinkerer’s station

added a new tinkerer’s station to the clockmaker, which can be used to assemble metal parts and jonas parts from lead solder and cupronickel

blackguard station: swage block

added a new swage block with 7 variants to the blackguard; they can use them to press metal into crafting components instantly that one might need in bulk;
currently plates, rods, chains, scales, lamellae, arrowheads and nails-and-strips.

it respects workable temperature and anvil tiers, meaning you need at least copper for bronze, at least bronze for iron, at least iron for meteoric iron and steel

quarrier station: stonecutting bench

added a new stonecutting bench to the quarrier, quite frankly similar to the minecraft stonecutter. it’s a clean way to craft stone building materials in bulk from pure rock at a 1:1 ratio

forester station: woodcarving table

added a new woodcarving table to the forester. it’s a clean way to craft wood (building) materials in bulk from pure logs.

messenger station: stake anvil

added a new stake anvil to the messenger, used to forge buckles and clasps as well as shaping leather
right now it’s a rather simple station that lets them make cheaper (sturdy) leather backpacks,
but in the future they’ll be able to use it to make specialist bags simlar to current mining bags!

big code additions in this version so please let me now if things are unstable/laggy or flood errors, i couldn't test as extensively as i'd liked but i wanted to get the wildcard fix out

trait refresh system

sometimes after a mod update, when class stats are changed the player stats don’t change until you use .charsel to become the class again. to fix that, added a new script that checks the specializedclasses mod version you last played on and refreshes your traits if the version changed.

malefactor: extra trade window system 

Can access an extra, separate trade window per trader for “illicit deals” (just regular trades a second separate time accessible only to them). Compatible with Better Ruins custom dialog trees (agriculture and luxuries).

farmhand: fertilizer permanence system

25% of a fertilizer’s value is always applied permanently to the farmland (similar to potash), which sets the natural level it’ll shift towards without intervention. you can make a bunch of 100% terra pretta this way :)

rebalancing

reigned in some negative traits;
archivist’s Careful now only gives -5% instead of -10%,
clockmaker’s Urbanite now only gives -10% instead of -20%
hunter’s Fickle now only gives -10% instead of -20%,
quarrier’s Careless now only gives -10% instead of -25%,
vintner’s Ecologist now no longer gives a wood breaking penalty

butcher’s +100% snow breaking speed was removed and messenger was given +50% snow breaking speed

quarrier’s Stonemason stone-to-ashlar recipe has become 2 stone to 1 ashlar (as opposed to 1 ashlar to 2 stone), it was a holdover from before they got entire rocks to drop

explosive wildcard fix
unsure how to explain this well, but i learned that essentially every possible variant of a recipe has to be loaded into memory, which is normally not a big issue but when you have multiple items with multiple options (like tools) in the same recipe it starts to increase exponentially. the worst offenders were the foodshelves compat recipes for butcher which had ~150000 variants, with stone * wood * glass * hammer * chisel * saw or something like that.

removed some recipes that used a lot of different wildcards, changed some tool recipes to only require one tool

added bricklayer compatibility

brickmaker | molder: mold recipe for ceramic tiles using a shovel mold, recipe for malachite shingles

quarrier | stonemason: recipes to use 2 clay in place of 1 mortar in small stone bricks and stone tile assembly

forester | carpenter: can make chests earlier with rope and gets double yield for the default recipe

vintner | cooper: can craft quartz into clear quartz with sand and a wooden pan;
glass for bottles and greenhouses! cheap and in bulk, without having to bother with bloomeries, felt like something they could use. i'll throw farmhand a bone soon, i promise!

added butchering compatibility: crafting recipes
butcher | chef: cheaper butchering tables, skinning hooks, and smoking racks
hunter | bowyer: cheaper butchering bag recipes

added primitive survival compatibility: crafting recipes
butcher | chef: use cleaver to fillet fish with improved yields, can hand-cure smoked meat
farmhand | fertilizer: cheaper fish basket recipe and earthworm castings craftable from earthworms + soil
hunter | bowyer: more efficient jerky recipes, including fish jerky without salt
messenger | courier: very cheap floating dock and raft recipes

added millwright compatibility: crafting recipes
clockmaker | tinkerer: reinforced windmills, brakes, and axles can now be crafted with copper, bronze, brass, meteoric iron, or steel instead of iron-only

added fromgoldencombs compatibility: crafting recipes
florist | medic: reduced-cost hive components, assemble empty frames with rope instead of glue, craft aged langstroth panels out of firewood, and assemble an aged langstroth hive without a hammer

added alchemy compatibility: crafting recipes
florist | medic: potion base from horsetail + papyrus instead of horsetail + toxic mushroom, and edible herbs at 4x yield with dry grass
vintner | cooper: can craft clear potion flasks from clear quartz at greater yield, can craft twice as many herb racks

added toolsmith compatibility: crafting recipes
forester | carpenter: upgrade crude handles to carved with an axe, and carved to professional with a saw

added stonequarry compatibility: crafting recipes
quarrier | stonemason: cheaper splitter plug crafting, 1 rod into 4 plugs

added To Rule Them All: Middle-Earth Races compatibility
any race can pick any class right now, i don't know enough about lotr to know what's it supposed to be :P

fix: tailor’s grass-to-rope recipe no longer consumes the club
thanks to MrJewsbury for making me aware!

added betterruins compatibility: crafting recipes
i’m aware there’s a config option in BR to turn blueprint duplicating recipes on for everyone, but it’s turned off by default and it feels reasonable to have this in particular as an archivist-exclusive perk

archivist | scribe: can duplicate blueprints using a sieve and 4 paper

added food shelves compatibility: crafting recipes

butcher | chef: can make fruit coolers, cooled cabinets and meat freezers earlier in progression and gets double yield from the default recipe

vintner | cooper: can make tuns, tun racks, barrel racks and bucket hooks earlier in progression and gets double yield from the default recipe

updated combat overhaul compatibility
since combat overhaul doesn’t use the vanilla ranged damage stat, if it’s installed, ranged damage is replaced with twice as much steady aim, or increased damage tier in the case of the hunter’s archer trait
likewise traits involving armor now also multiply armor hunger penalty and armor manipulation penalty

code refactor for organization and optimization
hopefully not something that will affect users, testing seemed to work fine, but if any new bugs pop up please let me know and i’ll take a crack at fixing it!

updated mod page to show up-to-date stats + compatibility info
not really a game update but wanted to mention it

thanks to Dexapnow for pointing out that vanilla traits modifying the same stat overwrite each-other,
while looking into that i figured out that the "walkspeed" stat is entirely lowercase and not "walkSpeed" (contrary to the other stats which are in camelCase) and has thus never worked since release, which is quite frankly embarassing and i'm sorry

trait fix
fixed walk speed stat not applying because of case typo
fixed multiple class traits influencing the same stats overwriting each other instead of adding up (hunter's +30% and +20% ranged accuracy now properly become +50% instead of +20%)

i've figured out the compatibility folder and become unstoppable, more stuff to come!
decided to bite the bullet and just go up to mod version 1.2.x, it felt weird having the updated versions not show up at the top
if it seems like i have no idea what i'm doing, that's entirely correct :)

minor tweaks
clockmaker: removed goggles from outfit, they looked awful :(
commoner: increased hunger rate buff to -75% (from -50%)

added a culinary artillery compatibility: crafting recipes
note: these and future compatibility recipes show up in extra traits that appear only when the relevant mod is enabled. the traits themselves don’t actually do anything (the base crafting trait is used) but they provide useful handbook links and information! :)
butcher | chef: can craft a meat rack out of a single hook and one board (was 4 hooks 2 boards)
vintner | cooper: can get twice as many bottle racks per craft by using a hammer in place of one board,
can get twice as many bottles per glass slab by using a hammer and saw,
can get 16 cork out of one firewood by using a cleaver

added xskills compatibility: xp multipliers per class
note: i don’t actually know if it’s fully compatible codewise! i’ve not extensively tested it. but the xp multipliers work
archivist: stability +60%, pottery +20%, survival +20%
blackguard: metalworking +60%, combat +30%, mining +10%
brickmaker: digging +60%, pottery +40%

added a new clutterpickup block behavior, used for the archivist’s new ability; by using a crowbar on clutter (including bookshelves),
they can pick up the clutter at the cost of 10 crowbar durability. the clutter is also repaired in the process,
with the intent to let this be the archivist’s niche in an economy (hoarding and selling clutter for decoration!)

slightly increased quarrier’s ascetic temporal stability offset to +30% (from +25%)

slightly decreased archivist’s temporal stability offset to +40% (from +50%)

significantly decreased farmhand’s harvester wild crop drop bonus to +100% (from +300%), i had failed to realize it was multiplicative and you could get ~40 turnips and ~50 seeds from a single wild turnip patch of 4

added to forester’s collier: +50% increased peat yield, with the intent to further their identity as fuel-providers

reverted the crafting trait name change because it looked silly
updated malefactor description to remove reference to foraging

updated blackguard outfit to look more like a blacksmith
updated butcher outfit to look more like a chef
updated clockmaker outfit to add the goggles and remove teal from its color scheme
updated hunter outfit to become purple :)
updated malefactor outfit very slightly, left tailor untouched, their looks are just too iconic

updated blackguard recipes:
added grid-crafting for common metal parts (rods, plates, scales, chains, and nails & strips)
[a bit unsure about these ones, i want to avoid the D&D Ranger Problem where they become so good at their role they don’t actually get to do their role anymore, but it feels nice and convenient for a smith character to have, and most people use mods that refund bits, leaving smithing the better choice]

updated archivist recipes:
added aged acacia planks recipe
added missing slate to aged stone recipes

updated forester recipes:
added all aged/rotten wood recipes from the archivist,
added aged firewood recipe,
added palisade recipes

updated quarrier recipes:
added cobbleskull recipe,
added aged diamond stone recipes
added cracked rock recipes
added cracked ashlar recipes
added missing ashlar blocks with clay recipes for stairs and slabs
added missing slate to stone recipes
added travertine and suevite to ashlar recipes

updated all code and json patches to work for 1.22-pre1

updated recipes to use the new tag system for hide sizes and new recipe-level skip/allowed variants system

known issues in 1.22-pre1:
- handbook searches are being reworked and there’s no way to ask for exact items yet, so most of them are really chaotic right now, holding out for them to add search operators of some kind
- trying to view the scraped small hide in the handbook crashes you (even in vanilla)

updated crafting traits to use multiple names where one didn’t clearly communicate the possibilities. these will later be split into two separate traits but i enjoy having the same ratio of traits everywhere too much

updated messenger: soil/sand/gravel breaking speed multipliers increased to +50% (from +20%)
added path recipes involving shovels as a tool, both double yield vanilla recipes and unique ones for agedwood and stone paths out of respectively firewood and rammed earth only
also added cheaper lantern recipes to help them light up the roads they lay! they can use torches for small lanterns and can use metal ingots in place of plates

updated blackguard: added cheaper recipes for the forge and the new bellows,
edited the description a little

updated brickmaker: added bulk construction recipes for the new clay tiles (using a hammer mold as mold) and new clay oil lamps (using a bowl as mold)

updated hunter: added recipes to get double yield from soaked hides (pelts still give 1 scraped hide), added recipe to oil hides with raw fat by using a torch
removed +20% wood/leaves/plant mining speed

updated clockmaker: updated recipes to add the new mechanical parts and use rendered fat

updated archivist: added recipe for very rotten wood

updated malefactor: updated aged torch holder recipe to use 1 of any metal nails and strips and 1 scrap instead of 2 scrap

updated butcher: added cheaper recipes for the new stinkbait! they will take on fishing duties :)

updated spelunker: now gets +300% (so x4 total!) panning yield, but stones can never drop (i would’ve made it higher sooner but it caused a duping glitch)

backport to 1.21.6 from 1.22.0-pre2
changes are compared to version 1.0.0, not 1.1.2

minor tweaks to clockmaker and malefactor outfits

archivist:
new clutter collection system, by using a chisel on any reparable block (clutter, banners, bookshelves) you will receive that clutter block, repaired :)
decreased temporal stability offset to +40% (from +50%)

blackguard:
new cheaper recipe for forge,
new grid recipes to craft metal crafting components (plates, chains, scales, rods, nails-and-strips) by hand [unsure about keeping this, people who pick it because they love smithing won't get to smith anymore, but want to give it a try]
updated outfit to look more like a blacksmith

farmhand:
significantly decreased wild crop drop bonus to +100% (from +300%), [i had failed to realize it was multiplicative, you were not meant to get 40 turnips and 50 turnip seeds from a patch of 4 grown wild turnips]

forester:
added plenty of new recipes for aged and rotten blocks by adding firewood;
added recipes for palisades, craft 8 basic single palisades from 2 firewood and an axe, which are crafted into all the other parts
updated collier trait to also give +50% peat drops and allow them to be better fuel specialists

hunter:
added recipes to get double yield from soaked hides to still incentivize using limewater
removed +20% wood/leaves/plant mining speed
updated outfit to become purple :)

messenger:
added stone path recipes involving shovels as tool to get double yield from vanilla recipes, or to make stone paths straight up out rammed earth, or 2 aged wooden paths out of 1 firewood
added lantern recipes that use torches and ingots instead of candles and plates, respectively, to help them light their roads
soil/sand/gravel breaking speed multipliers increased to +50% (from +20%)

spelunker:
now gets +300% (4x total) panning yield, but -100% stone drops from panning

quarrier:
added recipes for a lot more stone building blocks; cobbleskull, cracked rock, cracked ashlar, aged diamond stone. added missing slate and suevite recipes
increased ascetic underground temporal stability offset to +30% (from +25%)

initial release!
