Foliage Updates
Changed Rock & Stone models (Stone models were too small and hidden in grass) Rock models had a high poly count which was impacting performance.

Any melee weapon can now hit/destroy small foliage in 1 hit (Logs/Stumps, Stone, Berries, Cotton)

Wasn't happy with the old method of rocks decreasing in size on damage

Fuel containers can extract/add fuel from a Fuel Tank
Fuel Containers can add/extract fuel from Driveable Vehicles
Car Wrench
Added Holdable item to repair punctured Tires
Tires need to present in players inventory for the tool to function, and will replace a punctured tire with a new tire
Fixed Car Wrench to repair 1 x punctured tire, and not infinite repair
Fixed Car Wrench to only use 1 x Tire from inventory per punctured tire
Player Armour material switching
Fixed an issue when equipping/unequipping armour not hiding/showing skin materials correctly
Fix also applies to clients, if 2 x players had no armour equipped and equipped a piece, it would hide body material masks on 2nd player
When a player customized character and entered Dedicated server, recieved armour and left server. On hosting a session with no armour equipped and another player joined the same issue was present. The hosting player would have invisible skin if the joining player had armour equipped
All above issues now fixed

NEW Quest & Dialogue system
Started implementation of a new Quest & Dialogue system
The existing quests needed to be manually started and accepted and needed a lot of work to be set-up through datatables
The new quest system is a lot more intuitive, and flows a lot better
Quests/Dialogue are automatically tracked and go from one stage to the next automatically
The new system also allows for dynamic cut scenes with voice acting and lipsync animations (Coming soon)
