Neutral	+20	+160	+100
Dislike	-20	-160	-100
Hate	-40	-320	-200

I'm really sorry. Although I made sincere efforts, Steam forbade me from trying to include as much of the assets I prepared for this guide as possible. The content had to be unfortunately be trimmed down because I was getting issues and couldn't save the project. Either way, I hope I helped someone with this guide.

Nice work and very clear layout. Well done.
Side note - this guide seems to leave out Leo: E.g. He 'Loves' Duck Feathers, and also 'Likes' Dragon Teeth - which you have listed as a universal dislike (Hate really).
