[CLOSED BETA 0.11.5] Tutorial improvements + [HOTFIX 0.11.5.1]

[CLOSED BETA 0.11.5]
This patch contains a series of changes targeting inventory management, especially in the early game.

Tutorial Inventory Changes

-Spaceship slots increased 9->15
-Spaceship now contains an incinerator, letting you delete items
-Fossils and small animals no longer generate in the tutorial zone
-Big rocks no longer drop flint
-Helperbot mentions opening ship storage to help player find backpack

Other Tutorial Changes:

-Water buckets return! I'm sorry for taking them away.
-E-corp chest in printer wreckage structure now spawns with watering implements, to help players get through the terraforming chest requirement faster
-Night is suppressed during opening tutorial, so players don't have to deal with seeing in the dark

Other changes:

-Research menu now shows all recipes, not just possible recipes, when search is used with no item scanned
-BackgroundDisplayObject events (the little images/animations that happen in the background when events are triggering!) now accurately move towards the location at which the event will occur
-Internal difficulty curve is much more forgiving in early game - and dependent on player completing varying levels of events/objectives in order to 'unlock' new events. This means events like meteor showers will only trigger after players have completed guardbot or psion jellyfish
-Tips should properly show once opening invasive plant is killed

[HOTFIX 0.11.5.1]

-Nighttime lighting suppression wonkiness fixed
