Resource Gathering & Interaction Overhaul

This update introduces a major overhaul to the NPC resource gathering system and player interaction, making it more efficient, intuitive, and cooperative.

Smarter NPC Gathering: NPCs now prioritize the closest available resource within their range when given a 'gather wood' or 'gather scrap' command. This change allows them to start collecting from the nearest source and promotes more efficient, localized gathering, reducing unnecessary travel time.
