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.
