0.68, 2018 03 15 (Ambient Update)

Hi guys, we're sorry that this updated finally settled rather late in the week. Unfortunately we had some huge issues with anims, but without furhter redo - here we go with the changelog:

Ambient
- Introduced named map districts. Names are displayed when entering a district.
- Ability to sit down on benches (3rd person camera)
- Sitting down restores player stamina slowly to a certain level (max. is 70%) - the lower the condition, the faster it restores
- Sitting by a lit fire changes the camera and increases stamina max. resting level to 90% - it is better to rest by a camp fire
- Milking cows from the external camera, player seen in 3rd person with proper animation
- Milked cow stands up, does not lie down
- Properly hidden tools while milking/sitting
- Ambient music tracks added
- Ambient music tracks are different during the day and during the night
- Ambient music has different play modes, selectable in options menu (none, triggered by a game event, repeat)
- Disabling ambient music only does not disable the whole music, the jingles (quests, day times, achievements) will still play.
- To disable all music, use the music loudness, as it was.
- Increased range NPCs can travel to places of interests (churches, fishing spots, relax places)
- Rebalanced chances and targets for NPCs depending on days of week - they should stay home (and work) more during workdays, and travel more on Saturdays/Sundays
- Pregnant models for all possible women (wives)
- Fixed incoherences between pregnant and normal women for all possible wives

Farm Overview
- TAB menu now features a button to start Farm Statistics info menu

NOTE: It gathers vital information about our farm (animals, greenhouse, crops) and highlights actions that should be made (stuff to gather or harvest, some to buy etc.). Some of the stats are dynamic, for instance for fields only crops that player actually has growing will be displayed - Same thing for seeds.

Additional
- Fertiliser usage for new machines reduced in half (with the same field efficiency)
- Manure capacity (for home storage) set to 50 tons
- Daily manure produced by cows increased by 50%
- Fixed street lamps texture mapping
- Better, more open chute for spilling grain for sale
- Ability to put tiles under the door in the basement
- Ability to put tiles in the basement floor
- Staircase to the basement can be rebuild with new wood
- Checked and improved conditions for wives to get pregnant
- Improvements for animations and kid's behaviour
- New baby crib model
- New (better) models for the actual infants
