This update adds settler jobs which reduces the grind a bit and brings some usefulness to recruiting settlers and making their homes close to a place they can work. At the moment only the farmer and angler will work, but from this point forward it will be easy to create new jobs for other settlers and make it more intuitive.
I didn't want to spend too much time creating a lot of Christmas content, but I still decided to add a bit to the spirit. I do plan to create more complete seasonal content later and there is also something coming up for new years.
The Swamp Guardian has gotten a slight rebalance. This was mostly needed because I fixed a bug that caused some hits to not register on it. To compensate for all hits now working, I increased its health and adjusted damage and projectile numbers.
