Feature request: external custom fillType shelf-life settings

[SimGamerJen]

Fresh currently supports registered fillTypes, but custom crops from map mods or crop-porting workflows need to be added by editing data/defaultSettings.xml inside the mod. This works locally, but it is not update-safe and is awkward for players using custom maps.

Would it be possible for Fresh to load an optional XML config from modSettings, for example:

modSettings/FS25_Fresh/customFillTypes.xml

Example:

Suggested behaviour:

• Load Fresh’s bundled defaults first.
• Then load the optional modSettings XML.
• Merge entries by fillType name.
• Let modSettings entries override default entries.
• Ignore missing/unknown fillTypes safely, with a log warning if useful.

This would allow custom crop/map users to add shelf-life support without editing the mod itself, and would make Fresh much more compatible with custom crop maps.

He, this is exactly what I had originally wanted; mod defaults -> user preferences in modSettings across savegames -> specific savegame settings.

I let it be because of the likelihood of UI confusion when the player wanted change some values. But a pure UI-less xml load should be fairly simple, and then just add some documentation for "power users".
