[] Research - Runty Leviathan Backpack: Level 0, 10 hours, no books

Armor
Animal Variety adds a Bushcoat and Sleeveless Bushcoat armor

Reverted Wanderer start
[] Wander squad was changed to "homeless" squad (reverted)
[] Prime and raw meat were added to the wanderer squad (removed)

[] Prime Meat added to Animal Feeder and food stores
[] Storage: Raw Prime Meat (outpost) unlocked with research Storage Boxes: Crafting
[] Runty Leviathan Backpack craftable. NOTE from Pers: However, even if you equip it, it will not be reflected in the appearance.
[] Runty Leviathan Backpack added to vendor lists in low quantities
[] Fog Spider squad fixed so that they will spawn

Spiders in the vanilla game have a Y-axis hull value of 22, which ironically makes them much harder to hit for high leveled crossbow and harpoon gunner characters compared to those with poor aiming. -Skolokiroptera

[] Spiders, Smog Spiders and Fog Spiders have all had their Y hull values increased from 22 to 28, ensuring their hurtbox covers their entire torso.

Here are some things Animal Variations changes that are not patched that you might want to be aware of:
[] The campfire building group is changed to Campfire (default for IWK+, left in place).
[] There are several dialog packages added, presumably to harvest / sell wool or animals.
[] Variations of new bushcoat armor are added to the game and various npcs.
[] There is a world state change concerning Big Skim, but Big Skim is added by this mod so no harm no foul.

I hope you enjoy this submod. Please support by letting me know any issues!
