Patch 1.2.0.1 - What does it feel like to be... that powerful?

This patch will be last before 42 build (except some bug fixes).
SOTO has always strived to bring the game balance closer to the ideal. However, in-game experience showed that gaining traits while playing was not very good for the end result: the character received an excessive number of traits, which ended up making him too strong, even though some traits were quite difficult to obtain.
This patch has overhauled the trait acquisition system, as well as the sandbox settings. Regardless of the setting, players will be able to get rid of traits like Smoker or Disorganized, or gain traits like Brave or Graceful.
The sandbox settings themselves will be expanded and divided into categories of skills for which experience gain traits are available. Categories that have XP literature in the game will now be disabled by default: Crafting and Survival.
Many unique traits will no longer be obtainable during the game, to make their choice in the early game conscious, as well as weaken the characters in the late game so that the player does not feel permissive.
Some traits and occupations will be adjusted to avoid stacking skill bonuses at game start, and to make occupations more unique in certain ways. Also, some occupations will be removed combat skills to give them a little more space, especially in online or role-playing game.

All functions have been rewritten to make percentage calculations more accurate.

Metalworking skill cost reduced for all occupations and traits 3 >>> 2
Mechanics skill cost reduced for all occupations and traits 3 >>> 2

Sandbox Options:
- Removed "Players can obtain or get rid of traits" check box
- Added option for earn additional Fitness XP while running
- Added options for skill related categories which provides traits with XP boosts:
> agility skills - enabled by default
> combat skills - enabled by default
> survivalist skills - disabled by default
> crafting skills - disabled by default
> firearm skills - enabled by default

ONLY for SOTO related traits:
Sickness:
- Prone to Illness and Resilient no longer affects sickness gain
- Weak Stomach/Iron Gut increases/reduces sickness gain by 30%
Fatigue:
- Wakeful/Sleepyhead now reduces/increases fatigue gain/loss by 30%
- Fatigue gain reduced by 2% per Fitness level
Endurance:
- Endurance moodle no longer affect endurance recovery
- Endurance gain multiplier scales with Fitness level: 70 - 160%
- Endurance loss multiplier scales with Fitness level: 90 - 43%
- Overweight/Obese reduces endurance gain by 30/60%
Wetness:
- Overweight/Obese increases/reduces wetness gain/loss by 20/40%

- Hearty Appetite increases hunger gain by 50%

Patch 1.1.9 - Foraging Madness

For quite a long time, the "fair cost" system did not include foraging bonuses due to the lack of a clear model for calculating the cost for these bonuses.
In this patch, all foraging bonuses have been completely revised for each occupation, which have been splitted into 3 foraging categories:
1. High, costs -2 points. Has high efficiency in search mode:
Park Ranger, Botanist, Detective, Junkyard Worker, Camp Counselor
2. Medium, costs -1 point. Has increased efficiency in search mode:
Lumberjack, Farmer, Fisherman, Veteran, Chef, Soldier, Janitor, Grave Digger
3. Basic, does not affect points cost:
Other occupations

These changes will negatively affect the number of free points for some occupations, but this is necessary for balancing occupations.

The list of changes for foraging is extremely large and will be included in google sheets patch note section.
