UX

Radio towers' direction indicators stack better.
Added a list of cargo ships a radio tower detects to its UI. A ship can be selected and its direction indicator will be highlighted and stay visible even when the tower is deselected.
Save files can be deleted from the game.
Sorting of save files is remembered between sessions.
Number of autosaves to keep can be adjusted.
Changed life support capacity information to a more understandable format.
Added notification when shuttle can't get enough resources for a mission.
Added a pin showing that a life support provider is missing a crucial resource.
Positions of all currently active construction workers are shown in the priority overlay.
UI for storage buildings shrinks when there aren't enough resources to warrant a large UI.
Logistics office UI shows number of unassigned logistics vehicles.
Added sliders for speed of mouse/keyboard camera rotation.
Added option to survey/explore in order instead of closest area.
When selecting a resource in storage UI, it is also selected in storage filters UI.
Storage filters UI now defaults to only selecting one resource and multiple can be selected with shift.
Local notifications concerning low temperature and pressure now show the temperature and pressure in tooltip.

Balance

Starting resources deposits have a guaranteed minimum grade of 50%.
Increased water requirement for agriculture research objective.
Split water tank in starting ship, so it doesn't hoard resources as much.
Removed Power Diversification and Mine Deconstruction objectives. Wind turbines are necessary for Power Security objective instead.
Moved prerequisite objectives of some objectives around.
Bunkhouse is available after Geosurvey Capability objective.
It's no longer possible to mine unsurveyed resource deposits.
Cargo ships' cargo has been completely rebalanced.

Technical

Meshes of rocks are now batched with terrain, improving rendering performance.
Opaque meshes are no longer sorted before rendering, improving performance.
Added a button to colonist and vehicle UI that resets the colonist's/vehicle's behavior when it's stuck. It's only visible when debug mode is enabled.
Picker works correctly on animated objects and sloped roads/streets.
