0.3.2.0: Greenhouse, woodpile, compost heap...

Hi all - we just put up a new version on the test branch. It has these changes:

GAMEPLAY FEATURES:
-Greenhouse can now be built from primitive materials - the translucent sheets that cover it are made from the huge gut of the turnip animal. In the greenhouse, a very nutritious vegetable (the finger fruit) can be grown. To sow this vegetable, finger fruit must first be found in the wild.
-Animal hides are now cleaned and tanned using a new structure, the hide rack. Both rawhide and tanned hide can be made from the thunder chicken and used for making cordage and a bellows.
-Fresh firewood can now be chopped from spoak branches. When placed in the new woodpile structure, it will quickly dry and turn into firewood.
-A compost heap can now be set up, it will accelerate decomposition of plant material placed in it.
-Gold can be dug up and made into projectiles for the black powder rifle. (Gold is plentiful on the planet)
-A more advanced smithy can now be set up. With an iron anvil it can produce items such as:
-A blunderbuss, (simple muzzle-loaded shotgun) can now be made. It shoots pebbles in a wide arc, useful against varmint.
-New tools: Spade, trowel, hand axe, pickaxe. Many of them useful as weapons.

ANIMATIONS:
-Characters will now amble about when idling instead of standing in place.
-New animations: Standing up from sleeping. Using pickaxe, shovel, hammer, hand axe.

UI:
-Weapons now have data about efficiency against different animal species. Can be found on the DATA tooltip.

BUG/CRASH FIXES:

-The field lab and fire extinguisher cartridge is no longer missing from Twinkler Island
-Fixed a bug that prevented the cooled food cache from cooling its contents
-Fixed a crash that happened when claiming Whipjaw remains: http://steamcommunity.com/app/284100/discussions/0/535151589897753768/
