January 21st Patch Notes

Hello! This release fixes several bugs, most notably the AI powernap bug, and adds several new farming related blocks to faction 2. There are several new shapes of rectangles designed to allow octagons to fit nicely into grid based designs. A new minimal hud mode makes it easy for experienced players to hide on-screen help text.

* Add seed launcher and seed-plantable blocks to faction 2 (grey/green/blue), and increase capacity of octagonal separator blocks.
* Add octagon-compatible 1/sqrt(2) length rectangle hull blocks to default faction and faction 2 (resize the existing rectangle block).
* Fix font related crashes
* fix parsing of very large integers in save files
* Fix upgrade screen tooltip flickering issue when gamepad is plugged in
* only respawn player in stations within conquered sectors (non-liberated stations are yellow instead of green)
* reduce hitching while streaming sectors due to deleting old sector data
* Add minimal hud option (hides tutorial text and messages - press 'v' to toggle)
* fix AI powernap bug
