Patch
-Slight rework to Nutrition Happiness, food preference is no longer Boolean referring to the last item consumed, instead a list of the last 10 items eaten is built, and a percentage is assigned based on how many of them were the correct type
-Certain Happiness elements only update every few seconds, added prompts to certain sections of code which change a Monster's happiness to recheck totals, for example after a Monster eats food its Happiness will be updated alongside
-Consumption requirements (Eating Syrup for Bees, and Eating Yellow Slime C*m for Thunderbirds) are now based on the list of items eaten instead of a local Boolean which did not save
-Breeding Requirements changed from >=75 to 60, higher ranked Species will have harder requirements
-Monsters gain and lose Loyalty experience at the correct level based on Happiness
-Reprogrammed how the "Other species in Pen" requirements are handled by all species, improved efficiency. Instead of checking all other Monsters in pen during every Happiness check, Monsters will simply rely on Pen data which counts numbers of each Species on its own already
-Allowed Player-mode interaction area to overlap most objects, improves detection for interaction
-Monsters are reassigned to current pens when a Monster is dropped by the player, or completes a Move To command without pathing failure
-Improved appearance of new Monster UI, found a good way to apply the wood and parchment style to the new display box
-Unfulfilled Breeding Requirements now properly block birth
-Reorganized UI elements; Social, Nutrition, and Comfort bars used to display in that order, in contrast to the text printed below which is ordered Comfort, Nutrition, Social. Rearranged the Bars to suit the latter order.
-Fixed a conflict with remnants of the old Happiness system which was resetting Food Happiness sometimes
-Fixed a glitch which prevented Monster Loyalty level from printing properly in the new UI
