DEFUNCT: Grow + Juice: Winemaking, Cider Pressing, and Beekeeping

Description
THIS MOD IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED
This mod causes pretty bad lag due to the poor way in which I wrote it.
Leaving the files up for anyone who might want them, but the code for this was always bad and I'm not going to maintain it anymore.

-----------

A small mod that adds some immersive farming options for the player. Now you can produce your own wine, cider, and honey without relying on vendors or weird fungi. Buy or find seeds to grow your own starapple trees and vinovines, and build apiaries to produce honey and honeycombs. Vintners, apple farmers, and beekeepers will sell you everything you need to get started. Build your own starapple valley, or just punch starpples to get their juice.

Basic Changes:
Starapples now drop cider when destroyed and damaged, allowing you to manually juice them for liquid. Wild starapple trees will sometimes drop seeds when destroyed, which can be planted to grow a variant which can be harvested multiple times. Manually crushing starapples will produce on average 1.1 drams of cider per fruit.

New Plants:
This mod introduces the vinovine, a descendant of a long-lost genetically engineered wine crop that can still be cultivated. Vinovine can be found in hills and flower fields, and produces vinoberries, which can be crushed into wine. Both vinovine and starapple trees have new variants which appear when planted manually by the player. Cultivated Vinovines will regrow berries, while Cultivated Starapple Trees will regrow apples and drop some on the ground over time. Each plant's seeds can be purchased from vintners or apple farmers, and are dropped at a 10% rate when destroying wild varieties of the plants.

Beekeeping:
Build an apiary from a portable beehive, or buy a kit from a beekeeper. Once placed, an apiary will produce honey and honeycombs, which can be eaten or crushed into yet more honey. Apiaries will eventually stop producing honeycombs as they age.

Buildable Farming Accessories:
Vintners and Apple Farmers will sometimes carry kits for building liquid barrels and juice presses. Barrels are stationary furniture that can hold up to 256 drams of liquid, and juice presses can be powered to crush their contents, dropping the pure juice in an adjacent tile. Barrels, like catch basins, will try to automatically collect liquid produced by other objects.

Works best with a new game, as anything created in-game before installing the mod won't inherit the new properties.

I think the production is a bit too high, so much that if you go away to handle a travel to the stilts you could come back and find so many apples that you are encumbered.

I like the idea of a very powerful psionic settling down to farm for a bit before being attacked by a psychic assassin that finally tracked them down. There's definitely something to it
