Wilson: Stranger Newer Powers (Beta)

Wilson's time on the throne has given him mastery of the transformative essence of beard hair! His discovery of the meat effigy transmuting spirit to flesh was just the beginning. Combined with his pseudoscientific experiments and he's a force to be reckoned with!

This mod provides Wilson with faster beard growth (one stage every two days) as well as 8 unique crafting recipes that provide Wilson alternative ways to get certain resources. The simplest of these is smashing meat with rocks to extract bone shards, which now have two additional uses. He also starts with a razor as you now have quite a bit less time before reaching fully bearded.

Most of the recipes require being at the appropiate station (what is a scientist without their tools?) and require beard hair as a reagent. The most difficult and complex transmutations will cost Wilson his sanity or even his maximum health.

I've always enjoyed Wilson's art and personality, but I felt for being the main character as well as the one to succeed Maxwell on the nightmare throne he was a little mechanically dull. These options improve his flavor as well as grant him the ability to make semi-rare surface resources while living in the caves.

This is currently the beta version and if you have an idea for how this mod could be improved please let me know via a comment.
