Tungsten Mod - rebalanced

Description
Adds Tungsten and a lot of new craftables related to tungsten

Original mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=358015908

Rebalanced for my personal tastes:

Tungsten armor no longer has 99,999 durability. It's now ~3500. It also has a slightly reduced freezing effect. It costs slightly more to make. This feels, to me, to put it around the same level as marble (lower damage reduction, but freezing balances this to make it very useful for when you're swarmed: I also use an armor durability mod to increase armor durabilities to 2-4x, so marble is around 3k durability as well, so it's balanced around that). Thulecite armor now is a good upgrade from this, so you actually have a reason to make it. Before, Thulecite was heavily outclassed by the easily obtainable tungsten armor.

Tungsten miner hat is no longer both armor and a light source, it is only a light source. Previously, these would cause really weird behavior. It is now cheaper to make, and a direct upgrade to the regular miner hat.

Batarangs have reduced cost and damage.

Tungsten Pickaxe and Axe have their uses reduced to Gold levels, and the mine/axe strength to 2x instead of 4x. Still a good upgrade from Gold tools, as they mine and chop twice as fast. Previously, it was 4x strength and 4x uses, which is a bit silly (1600 chops for an axe that chops four times as fast? OP).

imo the mod needs more config options as some parts of it still feel too powerful, and others feel like they don't even have a reason to exist like the new firepit and thermal stone. overall an improvement from the original of course, but tungsten overall just feels too tacked on here rather than being like a proper new material.
also please update the mod.

Just to clarify - this mod also removes the 'repair when hitting' for the pickaxe and axe. Thought I had a bug on my hands, but its part of your balance pass.

Totally fair, just putting it here for others in case their confused.

It'd be cool if the Tungsten Firepit could toggle hot/cold depending on the fuel or a toggle. Also bugs me when I have to squeeze two firepits in my camp.

a lot more options for the tungsten spear's damage would be nice. 51 down to 42.5 is a pretty big jump, i'd like to set it to like 48. also the highest option for the damage is too long so the actual damage number doesn't appear in the config menu.

also tungsten hardhat should be nerfed to where nightmare fuel only refuels like 5% of it. or add an option for how much it gets refilled by nightmare fuel.

i'm experiencing a bug where setting the spawn rate of the tungsten boulders to "super rare" makes them EXTREMELY dense in certain areas, mainly coniferous biomes. idk if it exists in the original mod but you should probably still fix it.

you should make the tungsten renewable somehow, and also add some kind of option to make it only spawn in swamps or only in certain cave biomes.

I didn't change anything in regards to the fire pit.

Does this fix the invisible fire bug?
