Recipe Rebalancer Overhauled

NOTE: I have decided to keep this mod here instead of merging it, however I will be porting over some of its compatibility tweaks over to my Handicaper & Crockpot Patcher, click the link to check that mod out.

Note: Likely still incompatible with Gorge Crops as of the newest update, I will have to check.

As of the latest update I have moved all the data to a new file, so the mod no longer modifies preparedfoods.lua

Major thanks to Mobbstar and Au Revior for the assistance.

Version 1.1 adds support for various mods! Thanks to Mobbstar and Hornet for assistance.

This is a version of Terotrous's Recipe Rebalancer mod. Which I have decided to modify for more difficulty as I felt the original simply wasn't hard enough. I've mainly balanced the recipes around to encourage certain unused recipes more, and to encourage use of modded crockpot recipes(Like ones from Waiter 101, Camp Cuisine, Tea and Trees and other various crockpot mods)

One major example I did was change Bacon and Eggs to be less powerful, in both vanilla gameplay and the original recipe rebalancer mod I heavilly abused bacon and eggs for their massive 75 hunger, sure the original recipe rebalancer nerfed the health on it, but it was always a hunger food to begin with, and Pierogi was always the better healing food option when fighting bosses.

Below is the exact stats of the vanilla crockpot foods in this tweak. Mandrake Soup and Powdercake use vanilla values.

Crockpot Food = Health/Hunger/Sanity
------------------------------------
Mandrake Soup and Powdercake are unchanged.
------------------------------------
Butter Muffin = 3/18.75/15
Froggie Bunwich = 8/50/5
Taffy = -3/6.25/15
Pumpkin Cookie = 3/25/25
Stuffed Eggplant = 8/50/5
Fishsticks = 20/37.5/0
Honey Nuggets = 3/37.5/5
Honey Ham = 20/59.5/5
Dragonpie = 30/37.5/5
Kabobs = 0/37.5/0
Bacon and Eggs = 1/59.5/5
Meatballs = 0/37.5/0
Meaty Stew = 3/100/0
Pierogi = 30/37.5/5
Turkey Dinner = 12/100/5
Ratatouille = 3/32.5/0
Fist Full of Jam = 0/18.75/0
Fruit Medley = 30/42.5/10
Fish Tacos = 3/75/5
Waffles = 40/100/10
Monster Lasagna = -8/50/-15
Unagi = 20/42.5/5
Flower Salad = 50/3.125/5
Ice Cream = 0/12.5/50
Meloncicle = 0/12.5/25
Trail Mix = 1/6.35/15
Spicy Chili = 20/25/0
Guacamole = 30/37.5/5

So for those wondering why these changes, I will state my reasonings as best as I can.
I felt like Butter Muffins and Trail Mix were better suited as early game sanity foods, compared to most healing sources they were kinda useless IMO, so I made them more sanity based.
Bacon and Eggs and later Honey Ham(After I eventually get bee boxes set up) were two of my most staple food items, both giving their hefty 75 hunger they served as great hunger foods, I didn't want to render them completely useless, but still try to make some alternatives more viable(especially when playing with mods like Waiter 101) So their hunger values were reduced to slightly less then vanilla meatballs, Bacon and Eggs also takes longer to make and spoils slightly faster.
Most of the really simple recipes(like Meaty Stew, Meatballs, Kabobs and Ratatouille) no longer give sanity, they are good for getting your belly full, but don't rely upon them for helping the mind.
Sweets and Snacks are still balanced around being the main sanity foods(I consider butter muffins a sweet and trail mix a snack) Taffy was however nerfed, the original 50 sanity was way over the top as getting honey for taffy was still laughably easy to do, especially if you had access to the killer bee biome. I fought Deerclops with Willow in a playthrough and it took only 4 taffy for me to beat him without going insane. So yeah, this was a major nerf I felt was needed, however, pumpkin cookies and melonsicles are now made more viable sanity foods.
I also made the Froggie Bunwitch and Stuffed Eggplant more mid-tier hunger foods, giving 50 hunger to make them more appealing to make.
I also changed the Turkey Dinner, it now gives a little more health, and still nets 100 hunger like in the original, but it's now a little bit more stingy in the recipe, requiring a veggie or fruit value of 1, this means no more berries, cactus flesh or mushrooms as filler for making it!
Lastly I decided to really buff fish tacos, they are now the hefty hunger food, giving the ol' 75 hunger, and they now last alot longer before rotting! However they now require a minimum of 2 fish, and won't accept popcorn in place of corn, they also won't accept twigs or eggs as filler, in addition to the ice restriction from the original.

Planning to forego the crockpot altogether? Good luck with that, this mod significantly nerfs hunger values across the board for food items, including mods it supports.

These are my changes that I felt were needed, full credit to Terotrou for making the original recipe rebalancer.
