Setting up flame thrower actionable BP to trigger and stop audio based on click hold. Currently playing extinguisher as a placeholder

Tweaks to the flamethrower audio. Also reduced equip canteen volume by 3db and added missing equip audio

Updates to Flamethrower VFX V2

Update Buildables, Deployables and Splines to all have reduced draw distance (Distance Culling) based on View Distance Quality setting

Change CustomDepth pass to false (default) for main buildable mesh as this has no effect except causing the mesh to not be considered for Occlusion Culling

Tidy up of Building Base BP, split up Event Graph into separate graphs for readability

This change should have a substantial (in some extreme cases, up to 2x) performance improvement for larger prospects with many buildables/deployables

Added Local Space VFX system to Flamethrower to fix gap when moving or turning

Enabling Double XP Event, XP Bonus and Title Screen UI

Unlocking Frozen Wood -> Wood Crafting Recipe in Most heated benches and devices

Adding 6 Frozen Wood Deposits to the Icesheets Biome

Unlocking Flamethrower Blueprint, Recipe and Item

Adding biofuel as a requirement for crafting the flamethrower initially so it comes with a full tank

Added Frozen Wood to advancced deep ore scanner

Updated tag on Frozen Wood show it will show as a resource, and benefit from wood carry talents

Updated Workshop Extractor and Battery to show on each other's Field Guide pages

Updated Workshop Biofuel Canister to return to orbit again

Change V2 flamethrower FX to be CPU not GPU to fix barrel disconnect. Increase sphere trace range from 5m to 10m

Add new local version of Flamethrower FX as a _V3 revision and use V2 version for now. Flamethrower will now ignite any flammable target (not just Creatures)

Tweak flamethrower hit length and radius to better match animation

Fixed resource recipes not showing an icon when in the processing queue

Small reduction to the pilot light audio on the flamethrower to avoid it becoming annoying at longer times of use

Enable CustomDepth for Buildables during storms as it handles the weather culling. Don't apply Distance Culling to Destructible Meshes as their pieces can fall through the ground and decide it should cull the entire mesh

Removed light particles from Flamethrower FX to avoid flickering when tesellation is on. Added fill light to Flamethrower BP

Adding additional blend layers to the flamethrower to make it feel more weighty and dangerous. More low end gas boom

Adding dry fire audio for flamethrower when its out of ammo and tries to be fired. Blueprint Imp

Lowered landshark and caveworm fire damage weakness

Adding Image for Double XP event and adjusting connecting overlay so its displayed on the title screen

Add custom weather culling setup for buildings which allows the main building mesh to no longer be used for this purpose which allows further culling optimizations to be made. Small cleanup to Building Base BP to allow for additional begin play logic

Add weather culling setup to Dropship so it no longer rains inside on your way down from space

Don't allow flamethrower to be fired underwater. Remove secondary screenshake on fire-off. Dial back screenshake amount for initial shake

Update unsaved Obsidian resource pack cost

Fixed resource pack positioning for dirt

Reduced clay and scoria resource pack cost slightly, increased obsidian resource pack costs

Fixed third-person animation issues related to player not being able to look up or down when using the flamethrower.

Fixed bug where flamethrower could get stuck in ADS animation when swapping focus from an equipped firearm.

Added new TwoHandedRifle overlay state that should apply up/down movement dynamic additive anim

Reduced cost of scoria, clay and obsidian workshop packs, but added red exotic cost

Add Camshake setups for Flamethrower

Remove distance culling on Building meshes as this breaks weather culling. Still should see solid gains via the remaining CustomDepth setting being removed preventing occlusion culling, but this needs to be disabled during weather again due to weather culling support. Investigation into alternatives to using CustomDepth for weather culling should happen at some point in the future but its heavily embedded into the codebase at the moment

Tweaks to Flamethrower VFX, better bounding box and removing unnecessary persistent ID

Tweak flamethrower hit length and radius to better match animation
