OMG Bug Fixes. Build 0.153

As nuts as this is going to look, this whole damn thing was primarily about bug fixes. I started adding in some dope new stuff, but i didnt want to go too far as it would just delay the update longer.

addedAs nuts as this is going to look, this whole damn thing was primarily about bug fixes. I started adding in some dope new stuff, but i didnt want to go too far as it would just delay the update longer. I figure if i can get this to you guys now, you at least have some fixes for the bugs that were in 0.151 while i continue working on the new stuff. You'll get a hint at what's coming with the Dimensional Stones... those will be how I'm dealing with a lack of save feature. Instead of racking my brains coming up with a way to simply end one game and return to it later, I decided a more permanent solution would be beneficial overall, especially now that I see so clearly that games can last so long. Because of this, I'm introducing the Dimensional Stones. And so... im gonna leave it at that till next time. :) Enjoy the mystery of what is soon to come. This build also features a cool new idea i've been wanting to do since day one, but after talking to MessedCoast (Tx!!) I really put the pieces together on how i wanted to accomplish it. Basically you now drop a flag on a planet before you start planting seeds on it..... it answers a few issues i was struggling with but most fluffy is the fact that it gives you a reason to call a planet home. Especially now that you can easily find it on a map. Here's what I did: Changelog 0.153
changedGAMEPLAY: On powerdown, send the powerup out of your body.
removedGAMEPLAY: Removed powerups from Vaccuumdragons. the whole point of them giving you powerups was to counterbalance the fact that they easily take them away. now that powerups pop out of you… poof.
changedGAMEPLAY: Before you can plant seeds, you must first place a flag.
changedGAMEPLAY: Placing a flag names the planet.
changedGAMEPLAY: Made Minimap available by default.
