Ghom a4cedb2dbe Adds an 'auto-reel' line reel to the fishing tech node. Minor gameplay changes to fishing. (#81407)
## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new line reel, which speeds up the baiting phase of the
fishing minigame and skips the biting phase, thus starting the minigame
without the initial input from the player.
The auto-reel line will also throw items (or other people/things, if you
have the right hook) in your direction when snagged, with the added
bonus of catching the item mid-air. Turn your fishing rod into a
discount meat hook.

I've lowered the deceleration coefficient and bounce threshold of the
minigame by 1/4. My rationale is that these two numbers are a must lest
we end up with an uncontrollable mess of a minigame, though they also
feel like a sack of flour hitting gravel rn, making specific hooks like
the bi-directional one and the weighted other a bit useless.

Another change is to the baiting and biting phase. Previously, if you
clicked anywhere during the baiting phase, it'd reset the whole timer
back to any value between 1 and 30 seconds, spelling futility to the
time you've just spent waiting. Now, it'll simply add another 4 seconds
or so to the current timer, capping at 30s.

One last thing*. Once the biting phase start, the faster your input is,
the higher the starting completion of the minigame will be, and the
other way around, if you're very slow. The difficulty variable can also
lower the starting completion.

*I lied. I've also added a short cooldown to casting a fishing rod so
you can't just spam it.


## Why It's Good For The Game
Finetuning the minigame, quality of life and balance, making fishing
even more gimmicky.

## Changelog

🆑 Ghommie
add: Added a new fishing line reel that speeds up the first half of the
fishing minigame, and also let's you catch things from afar like a
discount meat hook.
balance: During the biting phase preceeding the actual minigame,
initiating it as soon as the "!!!" alert pops up will net you an
advantage. Conversely...
qol: Clicking during the baiting phase will no longer wholly reset it
and make you lose your patience. Instead, it'll delay the next phase by
about 4 seconds.
balance: The deceleration and bounce should feel less sudden and stiff,
meaning the controls are 25% more slippery again.
balance: Added a cooldown to spam-casting fishing rods.
imageadd: Resprited line reels a little.
