1st Optimization Pass
Adjusted LOD levels for numerous models placed in the main map
Also adjusted Max draw distance and render distances for packed level actors
There should be a performance increase with models rendering In/out at set distances now
Added Compass to UI
The UI now has a dynamic scrolling compass which displays the direction the player is facing (N, NE, NW, S, SE, SW, E, W)
Added Chaos Destruction to Rocks
Rocks now fracture on harvest and disappear after a short delay
Wasn't happy with the old method of rocks decreasing in size on damage
Changed Rock & Stone models (Stone models were too small and hidden in grass) Rock models had a high poly count which was impacting performance.
Reduced Health on Rocks & Trees, they now take 4/5 hits to destroy with the correct holdable (Axe for Trees, Pickaxe for Rocks)
Any melee weapon can now hit/destroy small foliage in 1 hit (Logs/Stumps, Stone, Berries, Cotton)

AI Damage changes
Reduced Regular Zombie damage from 20 to 8 damage per hit

Health on AI remains unchanged, they need to present a different challenge however they now don't hit as hard.
