[Other changes]
- Mortars research additionally require Siege equipment as prerequisite (req: VFuE - Security)
- Cannon (VFE - Pirates) additionally require Siege equipment as prerequisite (along with Matchlocks) (req: VFuE - Security, VFEM2)
- (techprint locks) With Semi Random Research, Basic hivetech (VFEI2) require studying insect jelly to start researching
- (other rebalance) Decorative plant pot (VFuE - Art): base beauty 50 -> 20 (the same as Pottery: had the same amount with Small sculpture with the half ingredient cost)

- Removed redundant research prerequisites from VFE - Tribals + ReGrowth: Core
- (research merging) Fixed an error with VFE - Tribals + ReGrowth: Core

- Removed redundant research prerequisites from VFE - Tribals + Erin's Japanese Furniture / More Ritual Seats / ReBuild / VPE - More Plants / VFEE / VFuE - Spacer

- Added research prerequisites to Subcore gestation vat and Uranium recycler (was empty)
- Removed redundant research prerequisites from VFE - Tribals + VFuE / Biotech

- (minor conflict fix)

- (gene rebalance) amplified or simplified some genes for B&S - VU xenotypes so that they stay in -5~5 total metabolic efficiency after gene rebalances

- (techprint locks) Climate adjuster, Sun blocker, Vanometric generator and Weather controller research projects (Reinforced Mechanoids 2) require studying the corresponding chip to start researching (similar to mechanitor chips: this doesn’t consume chips)
-(gene rebalance) Dryad queen (WVC): met +7 -> -1 (effectively -2 as it conflicts with Sterile)

- Added gene compat for newly added xenotypes (Nociokin and Beholdkind) by the latest WVC update

- (minor fix) Fixed Biotech Expansion - Mythic + ATH's style Draconic patch being triggered with Biotech Expansion - Mammalia

- Following weapons can be equipped with VE shields: Laser handcannon (Glitter Weaponry), Impact stubber (Impact Weaponry), Phase shank (Phase Weaponry), Kinetic wpistol, Modular hybrid pistol, Molten pistol (Rimsenal), Smart machine pistol (Rimsenal Spacer), High-caliber revolver (originally Hand cannon, VWE), Gauss revolver (VWE Frontier+Coilgun)
- Added Brawnum and Bogleg (Det’s Xenotype) to Merchant’s guild (VFEM2)
- Added light radius indicator to Andons (Erin’s Japanese Furniture)
- Gunner expertise (Vanilla Skills Expanded) uses vanilla ranged cooldown factor stat instead of VFE’s.
