Woodie: Stranger Newer Powers

Inspired by the woodie rework in Rezecib's Rebalance, many changes have been made to woodie to make his werebeaver form fun and useful. Massive credit to Rezecib for the patch function.

Changes compared to DST vanilla Woodie:

-Damage is taken by your log meter first in Werebeaver form, as if you had log armor equipped (just like singleplayer)
-Werebeaver does tentacle spike damage (again, just like singleplayer)
-Werebeaver has excellent heat/cold protection and immunity to wetness.
-Werebeaver doesn't drain extra sanity (you still lose it from dusk and night)
-Werebeaver loses (instead of gains) 1 from his log meter while gnawing.
-Cut grass causes Woodie to lose 5 from his log meter.

-Werebeaver is more effective at chopping, mining, digging, and hammering. (Same as tools with the exception of chopping)
-Woodie does not passively lose log meter, but Werebeaver has drain similar to normal player hunger drain (loses 50 log meter per day)
-Werebeaver can eat veggies (Allows you to heal easier in werebeaver form or with an ally restore your sanity without shifting back)
-Werebeaver can plant pinecones, acorns, and twiggy tree saplings

The goal of these changes is to make Werebeaver a viable combat and exploration form until you get dark armor/sword or ruins gear, but you always have to pay for things that lower your log meter and you now run the risk of being stuck in werebeaver form if you are far from any logs. On the other hand you can easily shift into werebeaver every night if you wanted to, and Woodie can eat grass to accelerate his transformations.

Woodie can and needs to farm wood to sustain werebeaver, and is only able to eat veggies to restore his health and sanity while in werebeaver. This means you'll either need to shift back or get help from allies to restore those stats.
