First Patch- Reactor Meltdown!


Your wish is finally granted!
With how the reactor has been causing people grief, I've tuned it to be a little easier- now with multiple options, available in Settings. There's also reference clips in the download package, if you're still having trouble for the moment!
Also, there's now Debug keys to spawn worms! Just in case you didn't have enough already- Check the included README.txt.

Do tell me if it's still too hard, or hard to understand- especially in the Discord! https://discord.gg/qqJ3RuQvWg

Patchnotes:
Rewrote a fair bit of code, like the 'friends' and the player's animations! There might be a fresh bug or two to iron out, there.
'Friends' now leave instantly when inside a disabled entrance.
Download package now includes clips to help understand the reactor minigame.
Added Debug keys, to spawn 'friends' to your heart's content! Check the included README.

Settings:
- W and S can now be used to scroll up/down in Settings.
- Settings system no longer abandons all hope, when it doesn't find a setting in the settings.txt file.

Reactor:
Phase 1 no longer requires the coolant level to be lower than the FUEL level.
Added a new Reactor Difficulty setting.
- Surgery: Previous difficulty, if you weren't having trouble before.
- Normal: Default. Tweaked to be easier to manage, but still requiring precision.
- Slow: Much more controllable, with an overheat safety margin. Best for if you're more interested in other content.

Nice to see project continued! Any chance  you can add a faster way to insert these fiends, or a setting option to let them enter but not leave?

For the moment, there's debug keys for speedy size increases- as for having them enter and not leave, the tutorial states you can cover certain areas by clicking on them with Left/Right mouse. I forgot to put that in the README- and for the best experience, enable just Chest/Crotch in Settings.
