Patch 0.3.0-1

This patch requires an update to the class files. This means that you need to reinstall the mod.
This is also a breaking change. Your old npcs will not be recoverable.

Completely redesign how npcs are organized architecturally. This is the main cause if the breaking change.
Add framework for npc stories.
Make npcs dynamically visit relatives and neighbours in order to group up.
Make npcs form factions automatically once their group reaches 8 members.
Allow the player to form a faction once they have at least 8 members in their group (excluding the player).
Add framework for defining dialogue trees.
Add possibility of defining safehouses manually.
Add new FindItemSubTree behavior for fetching required items.
Make npcs fetch an axe if available in safehouse before trying to chop trees.
Make npcs fetch a hammer, planks, and nails for barricading instead of spawning in items on-demand.
Add basic farming - npcs can plow, plant, and water (if given a container with water)
Add ugly npc radial with placeholder icons (Default: Hold Tab)
Add buttons for resetting npcs completely as well as deleting files containing npc data via the "Load Game" menu in-game.

Known issues

This is a massive change to how all data is stored. If you run into any issues, please report it on Discord together with the logs, so I can deal with all of these issues.
The procedural generation UI has a safeguard in itself where if a tick takes more than 1 second, it will auto stop. This number of npcs will 100% not work with your PC, but the actual cutoff is lower. This will be improved in coming patches.
Scavenging seems to get stuck sometimes. It will be fixed in v0.3.1.
Some seed types are not identified correctly when npcs try to plant.
Seeds have to be unpackaged for npcs to identify them correctly.
Npcs can't refill any fluid container so that they can water plants.

Make sure spouses have the default level 5 fitness and strength.
Spouses will now spawn with a random weapon, like any other survivor.

Update for 42.9.0.

Fix handling of ragdolled zombies - These will now be treated as executable by the npcs.
Add fix for invisible zombies after creating a new character while staying in-game.
Add new experimental damage model from weapons - Higher aiming level guarantees hitting more vital parts. Damage done to hit body parts still scale with distance.
