Mant Mod!

According to the golden statues, the Mants and the Pigs were once two great civilisations that achieved much and got on fine with each other, but then the Mants fell into decay.. and what if the Mants were indeed a junior branch of the ancient civilisation, as their physical resemblance testifies? Anyhow the Mants of Hamlet are scarcely interesting, and the pherostone is a joke. And it makes no sense that they put up pig heads around their hills while seeming to just ignore the pigs in their vicinity. In this mod, you have options to:

FRIENDSHIP WITH MANTS
- Pherostone will now give you FULL MANT DISGUISE!
- Mants will attack Pigs on sight
- Mants, being the old wise residents of the Hamlet, will now attack Glowfly Cocoons on sight
- Trade Gold Dust with Mants for 2 to 4 Honey and Pig Skin for 2 to 3 Gold Dust. Maybe not too exploitable, but an interesting and lore-friendly option (this option is by default off because it does feel a bit gimmicky)

MANT HILLS
- Make the three Mant Hills be distributed across the Hamlet, Palace, and Pugalisk islands, making them an interesting alternative to pig ruins for travelling between (only works with default worldgen)
- Hammering Antcomb Home leaves a Honey Chest, but, as a trade-off, they will only drop 1 Honeycomb without the 3 extra honey
- Upgrade Honey Chest to Antcomb Homes with 1 Honeycomb
- Make the Mant Lamps not mineable
- Stalagmites in the Ant Hills will now drop 4 rocks and 2 gold dust to make it worth your pickaxe, up from the Vanilla loot of just 3 rocks, and so these Mant Hills no longer feel as empty as the DST ocean...

GIANT GRBS
- Giant Grubs will spawn regularly, two per day, instead of having a random spawn time between immediately and in a full day
- Decrease the maximum number of Giant Grubs because 12 is just bizarrely excessive (by default down to 6)
- Giant Grubs will drop 4 Monster Meats and 4 Light Bulbs, because he is big, does AOE, has no skin, and has four eyes.

MANT ITEMS
- Mant Hat and Mant Armor will no longer use up like other clothing items, and will only use up as armor. This double-durability mechanism can inded feel a bit convoluted at times
- Blocks poison like the Horned Helmet because it's made of Chitin

(The default configurations are the one yours truly humbly suggest)

Please keep the Pherostone in your inventory and not your backpack.
