Server Updates

[OldBloke]

A tweak made ...

SupplyCrateLootQualityMultiplier=2 (from 1 to 5)
FishingLootQualityMultiplier=2 (from 1 to 5)

In addition I have told the server to spawn a Direbear where it would have spawned a land-based Alpha. It won't make a great difference to the Direbear shortage but it will help.

Wondering what will be in the drops now then. Let me know what you want us to do with the stuff found yesterday.

Thanks for the bears, hopefully it will work sometime to find a nice high level bear. I still think there are to many terrorbirds in the forest sometime though.
