Metal Trough — End-Game Storage

A new 2-tile trough you can build from the Building Book's Furniture category. Holds 5x the capacity of the regular trough — 500 food or water — so you only top off once instead of constantly running buckets back and forth.

• Available in horizontal and vertical orientations.
• Costs 8 Silver Bars + 10 Nails — proper end-game upgrade.
• Each Feed Bag or Water Bucket adds 100 units (5 fills to top off).
• Use buckets/feed bags on either half — both update together.
• Animals eat/drink from either half just like the regular trough.

Quality of Life

• Hammer now demolishes filled troughs. Previously you had to wait for animals to drain it. Now you can break it down whenever you want, including the new Metal Trough — half materials refunded as usual.
• Machines lock in place while in use. Distilling Machine and Weaving Loom can no longer be dragged mid-process — same protection the saw + logs already had.
• Build on your pasture. 2-tile structures (Well, Metal Trough) can now be placed on top of planted grass, wheat fields, and other ranch floor decorations — so you don't have to clear the floor first.

Building Book UI

• Item cells are bigger, with sprites and labels centered properly.
• 2-tile structures (Well, Metal Trough) now show both halves in the preview — and they're laid out in the same orientation they're built (horizontal pair side-by-side, vertical pair stacked).

Launcher Stability

Defensive patches to the client's update checker to reduce the random 'client closes on launch' crash some of you have been reporting. The crash was rare but most likely on the first launch after idle time. Please report on Discord if it still happens — there might be more layers to peel.

As always, feedback on Discord!
