Patch Update 1.105.297

After the last game patch, if you don't have all packs installed you may have noticed some my content is missing or not working properly. This update will fix those issues. 


I also fixed a few bugs and reworked the woodworking recipes a bit to make more sense. I tidied up a few things like object descriptions and fixed a few small issues with crafting costs here and there, but nothing major has changed.


I've tweaked a couple of things so people who don't own Cottage Living should now be able to use my canned recipes as ingredients, although they won't be craftable or edible. Also, people who don't own the Kids Room pack should now be able to use the comics that come with my Voidcritter Shop set.
