Further tweaks for resolving collision in tight spaces (like doorways).

Balance:

Reduced the max size of Rich Deposit Wild Animals by 18%.
Reduced Wheat yield -25%.
Reduced Barley yield -20%.
Increased Flax yield +50%.
Made Wheat / Rye fertility calculation more linear (Rye fertility now is 1.5 * Wheat fertility, but no more than 100%).
Dressed Stone value lowered from 7 to 5.
Rough Stone value lowered from 4 to 3.
Made Droughts much less impactful, but removed the clamp of a minimum 1 Yield per Field in all cases.
Granaries get a handcart shed. Handcarts slots changed to 2 (lv1) and 6 (lv2). Storehouse handcart slots are 2 (lv1) and 6 (lv2) as well.

Will now build the Hunter Camp close to the Wild Animal Resource Node even if it's far away.
Will now put higher priority on far away resource gathering buildings under construction.
