changedSummary: Fixes a crash some players hit during the loading screen when launching through Steam, caused by the Steam overlay interacting with the loading render loop. Also corrects several structure descriptions, resource rates, and prerequisites that didn't match their actual behavior.
fixedFix Steam overlay GPU crash on loading screen — ShowLoadingStage rendered multiple frames per stage in a tight loop, giving gameoverlayrenderer64.dll repeated hooks into BeginDrawing/EndDrawing. On sensitive GPU/driver combos this corrupted the overlay's buffer and crashed before reaching the main menu. Now renders a single frame per stage.
changedStandardize crystal resource node chain — Crystal nodes now use consistent spawn rules and resource flow.
changedRebalance energy structures — Thermal Vent Tap reduced from 4→3 energy/sec, Geothermal Station increased from 9→18 energy/sec for a clearer Stage 1→Stage 5 progression gap.

Correct 5 structure description/balancing inconsistencies — Temporal Accelerator, Solar Array, Chemical Refinery, Structural Synthesizer, and Enzymatic Spore Accelerator had outdated or incorrect descriptions, input rates, and prerequisites across all 8 locales.
Standardize crystal resource node chain — Crystal nodes now use consistent spawn rules and resource flow.
