SGBSWSPMC

New patch! A few days running around and dying a lot has taught us a lot about the pack as it currently stands. First of all, difficulty went sky-high way too fast early on due to super-slow early game caused by rockhounding and BWM changing pacing. Also, the monsters being made stronger by Zombie Awareness and Scaling Health made early nights simply terrifying.

For now, difficulty build-up has been made a lot slower and torches cheaper (Torches could already be circumvented with stone torches). Also, Blights were slightly too common and not quite terrifying enough, so they have been made slightly rarer and slightly stronger.

Expect further tweaks to how monsters spawn on the island down the lane, but this will hopefully do for now.
