Optimized Leather

Patch Notes : 11/22/2020 - confirmed compatibility with Animal Hide Walls
-----

This mod completely overhauls the current leather system in the game, along with patching a dozen plus other animal mods. It introduces the following "new" leather types:

* sturdy leather (from animals like elephants and rhinos)
* thick pelt (from animals like bears and alphabeavers)
* longfur pelt (from animals like wolves and foxes)
* shorthair pelt (from animals like lions and camels)
* coarse fur (from small animals like rats and raccoons)
* soft fur (from most pets and wild animals like rabbits)
* luxe fur (from rare small critters with valuable pelts).

The final list of leathers includes 14 unique leathers: Coarse fur, soft fur, luxe fur, heavy fur, light leather, plain leather, sturdy leather, shorthair pelt, longfur pelt, thick pelt, bird skin, lizard skin, human leather, and thrumbofur.


Coarse through heavy fur: meant for beddings and warm clothing [compatible with Soft Warm Beds]

Light through sturdy leather: the basic "leather" you imagine when thinking of leather, graded into three toughness levels

Shorthair and longfur pelts: shorthair comes from hot weather animals and provides bonus to heat protection, while longfur is the opposite (cold weather animals and bonus to cold protection)

Thick pelt: stronger protection against blunt and sharp attacks, with moderate heat and cold protection

All other hides remain the same.
