Improvements to localization

Update a number of less clear descriptions

Better descriptions for variants throughout

Engines with length switch options that change their performance now show the changes in the part switcher

Reworked high energy exhaust damage

Significantly increased the range and rate at which high energy engines (Frisbee, Cascade, Heinlein, Niven, Hamilton) 'damage' parts via heat and force

High energy engines now damage KSC facilities when pointed at them (or are near them in the case of the Hamilton)

Game settings added to toggle engines damaging facilities (Defaults to ON) and the rate they damage them at (defaults to 100%)

Pulse engines can be configured to deliver damage/heat/force pulses

Tuning changes

Cost of LqdHe3 has been changed to 5.5/u from 52.5/u

Cost ratio for fusion fuel tanks have been adjusted to make deeper cryo fuels (Deuterium) more expensive than say, helium

Volumes and masses of fusion fuel tanks have been revised for more consistency between models

Fusion reactors have been rebalanced

• Reactors should go through an equivalent sized small tank in ~10y at full power now, instead of ~2y
• Reactor minimum power generation has been reduced to 2.5% from 10% (5% for engine integrated reactors)
• Engine reactors are now the same fuel efficiency as dedicated reactors
• Increased power generation of Ouroboros to 100 kW from 20 kW because it really sucked
• Reactor thermal balance revised: all engine reactors are now 35% efficient. D-D dedicated reactors are now 40%, which jumps to 50% when using D-He3.

Antimatter fuel is now significantly denser per unit

Increased the consumption of antimatter by Dirac and Casaba by 1000x

Increased the capacity of the AMR-01 Antiproton Storage Ring by 1000x

Rebalanced the capacity of all advanced antimatter tanks. They're now much more volumetrically efficient and have better mass ratios.

Rebalanced containment costs for antimatter, now 100-80 kw/t

Increased the Frisbee Isp to 2,500,000s and tweaked its propellant ratios so it's now about 1/6th pure annihilation vs 1/100

Fixed a few heat typos in the Frisbee variants config, should now be completely linear

Changed exospheric harvest rates for the scoop to make the minimums useable. In conjunction with the SpaceDust 0.5.4 update this should make exo harvesting much better

Fixed the mass ratio of Fission Particle tanks being 10x worse than it should be

Added 3 new Antimatter settings to the ingame FFT settings

Containment Needed: Enables or disables the need to power antimatter tanks. Defaults to ON

Detonation Rate: Scales the leak rate of leaking antimatter tanks. Defaults to 100%

Volatility: Scales the damage rate of leaking antimatter tanks. Defaults to 100%

Removed the patch that uses the NFE nuclear transfer mechanics when NFE is installed, everything uses the SystemHeat ones now
