Refactor existing areas to use readable ids rather than numeric

See original GitHub issue

Description

Having numeric IDs such as limbo:1 and craft:2 makes it very difficult to tell exactly what the room/item/NPC is that is being referenced.

This makes it tough for beginning builders to work with the existing areas, and also leads to the misconception that IDs have to be numeric.

Expected outcome

An ID for an entity reference should be at least somewhat human readable, such as craft:greenplant.

Actual outcome

Many IDs are not human-friendly and consist of a single-digit number.

Steps to reproduce

Look at the default bundle item definitions.
