Moving forward

This was a pretty large patch with a lot of internal things being moved around and refactored/fixed, but sets us up to move to the next major rework: the redeploy system. This next major patch will change the entire progression logic and will take at least two months.

Please report game crashing or critical bugs! They get reviewed on a weekly basis!
