Wilson update

[MaxwellGaming11]

With the new skill trees coming out, Wilson feels kind of like he's going to go back to being the default character, with a skill tree that is very underwhelming compared to everyone else's. My way to update Wilson so he doesn't feel super bad when everyone else has skill trees would be to make him be able to get up to 25 insight points instead of 15 (exactly enough to get every skill considering you only get one affinity), which I think thematically makes sense since he's a scientist and always trying to learn and research.

Additionally, I would make his torch skills apply to all held light sources, so any held light source gets extra range and drains slower, making Lanterns just really good consistent light sources for him. And of course make it so the torch throw skill also lets placed lanterns keep the extra range and duration.

Also his third beard insulation skill could remove the negative heat protection penalty in summer, truly making him into a character with "no downside" which feels like the design intent.

He could get some new or rebalanced alchemy recipes as a lot of the current ones aren't worthwhile, as well as other buffs to skills, but that is debatable.

Finally he could start out with the ability to craft a reasonably cheap item ("research notes" or whatever) that allows him to re select all his skills without needing the celestial portal, allowing newer players to select different skills depending on their needs and more experienced ones a convenient way of swapping his affinity.

I still don't think he'd be "meta" or particularly strong but his skill tree would have some nice utility, especially for newer players, and being the only one who can fully max his skill tree would feel nice and unique.

i thought klei would add his own machine to make cool experiments and a new way of reviving friends because his banner has him pictured experimenting on a bird. (I imagine him reviving the bird or whatever)
