Researchable Stat Upgrades Rewritten

I'll be maintaining this where I can for as long as I can - AKA as long as I stay interested in RimWorld modding. -kd8lvt


> Initial stages of the rewrite are complete. Will be working more on it in the coming weeks.
> Fixed compatibility with Better Ground Penetrating Scanners!
> Some pretty major (hopefully) performance improvements
> ResearchDependentStatDefs can now handle buildings MUCH easier

> Ideology Slaves do not get Combat-related bonuses
> Mod Config

Does this require a new save/colony/world/game/map/thing/stuff/computer/universe to use? No
Can I suggest something? You see the empty spaces in the research tree? Fill them. (Yes)
I've found a bug, what do I do? Tell me how you got to the bug, post a screenshot, and backup your save file because I might ask for it
Do you have the stats in detail? Get the mod, you don't need to do anything, just enter the research screen. If I put it here it might not be up-to-date
My items keep truncating, and it's really annoying what do I do? Right now the solution is to put Researchable Stat Upgrades higher up in the modlist (Thanks Hinanawi-sama). If that doesnt work join in the bug discussions!

Just a few tips on how to make ideas:
1. Does this really work as a research? Maybe your idea is better to be a special item or a special building, instead of a stat upgrade.
2. Think up of an ideal cost/tech level of your research
3. Think up of a nice name!
4. Where would it go in the research tree?
5. That tree is getting rather full, which means short but sweet researches probably have a higher chance of getting in!
