This new type of "area hint" will instead give you general information about one of the named geographical areas in your world.
Example:
```
There are 4 progression items in the "Quarry" region.
Of them, 2 are for other players.
Also, one of them is a laser for this world.
```
This also renames some of the locations in the game to better fit into an "area", such as the "River Obelisk" being renamed to the "Mountainside Obelisk".

Changes:
* Hints should feel a lot less same-y now ("Priority hints" are no longer always hints in disguise)
* Keep Hedge Mazes 1-3 and Pressure Plates 1-3 are added as locations in all settings
* Desert Final Room Hexagonal & Desert Final Room Bent 3 are added as locations

## New Features:
- EP Shuffle (Individual or Obelisk Sides, with varying difficulty levels)
- Ability to play without Puzzle Randomization (I.e. vanilla + AP layer)
- Pet the Dog to get a Puzzle Skip :) (No, really.)
## Changes:
- Starting inventory behavior improved (Consider starting items like doors and lasers logically even if they aren't part of the mode)
- Audio Log hint system improved (On low hint counts, you will no longer get the same locations hinted every time, i.e. always hints are shuffled)
## Fixes:
- Many fixes to symbol requirements
- Fixes to "shuffle_postgame" (What checks are evaluated as "postgame" in specific modes)
- Logically irrelevant doors are now "useful" instead of "progression"
New options:
Shuffle Doors: Many doors in the game will open on their own upon receiving an item ("key").
Variant - Shuffle Door/Control Panels: Many panels in the game that open doors or control devices in the world will be off until receiving their respective item ("key").
Shuffle Lasers: Lasers no longer activate by solving the laser panel, instead you will get an item that activates the laser.
Shuffle Symbols: Now that there is something else to shuffle (doors / door panels), you can turn off Symbol Rando.
Shuffle Postgame (replaces "Shuffle Hard"): The randomizer will now determine by your settings which panels are in the "postgame" - Meaning they can only be accessed after you can complete your win condition anyway.
New option: "Early Secret Area" (Opens a door to the Challenge Area from the start of the game)
New option: Victory Conditions "Mountaintop Box Short" and "Mountaintop Box Long"
New options: Number of Lasers of Mountain, Number of Lasers for Challenge
New option & item: Add some number of "Puzzle Skips", which let you skip one puzzle in the game
Many logic fixes
