v2.0.0.4 — Full event effect subsystems

What's new

This release implements the full event effect delivery layer — the major missing piece since the initial rewrite. Events now produce real, observable gameplay changes beyond just showing a notification.

Price effects (via EconomyManager hook)

A new utils/EffectHooks.lua module patches EconomyManager.getPricePerLiter at load time. The following events now affect actual sell prices whenever you sell crops, livestock products, or goods:

Event	Effect
Market Boom	+10–35% sell price
Market Crash	−10–35% sell price
Price Fixing	fixed sell price multiplier
Export Opportunity	+25–40% sell price
Economic Crisis	sell price penalty
Crop Yield Bonus/Penalty	±5–25% sell price
Harvest Bonus/Penalty	±10–30% sell price
Field Sale Bonus/Penalty	±5–25% sell price
Bonus Trade Prices	+10–30% sell price
Festival	+5–20% sell price
Bird Flock / Rabbit Infestation	sell price penalty
Bee Swarm	sell price bonus

Durability effects (via Vehicle hook)

Vehicle.addDamageAmount is patched to scale incoming damage during active events:

• Equipment Durability Boost — reduces damage rate
• Equipment Durability Drop — increases damage rate

Ongoing per-minute cash effects (tick handlers)

Four tick handlers now fire every 60 in-game seconds to deliver cash:

• Economic discounts (seed, fertilizer, fuel, equipment) → €/min savings
• Economic crisis → loan penalty deducted per minute
• Money Bonus / Malus → direct €/min injection or deduction
• Festival → periodic income bonus
• Field fertilizer/seed events → savings/cost proxy per minute
• Wildlife animal product events → cash scaled by number of husbandries
• XP events → farm reputation points adjusted per minute

Other fixes

• All formerly boolean EVENT_STATE flags converted to numeric values so they work as multipliers
• Festival event was a stub — now sets both a market price bonus and a periodic income bonus
• Event selection now uses weighted random (weight=1 default, infrastructure ready for tuning)
• All per-minute tick timestamps cleared on event end to prevent cross-event bleed
