Tree scale (Small trees) #14

I like the small trees mod, and many people think that is mandatory, however I don't like how the game looks. The solution? toggle-able small trees!

Scenario: Villager -> Select LumberCamp -> Toogle small trees -> Place LumberCamp -> Toogle small trees.

Now you can press: (J is a placeholder)

Also I added a small hacky interpolation animation like thing, just because it looks awesome.

And of course all of these could be configured in the user settings.

The same approach could be used for the grid mod...

Thanks, I added a few small comments. Personally I am fine with using the small-trees mod, but I think that a significant number of people may prefer the more beautiful trees :)

I think that eventually it might be nice to also have a setting that enables the small trees and the grid automatically while placing building foundations and disables them otherwise (unless manually toggled). (Just a suggestion, not for this PR.)

100% good idea
