Hotfixes

[b] If a colonist smoothed a terrain that wasn’t rough stone, the game would crash.
[c] Mostly fixed some hard performance hitching that occurred when there were a lot of blueprints that lacked resources (usually when laying large amounts of carpet without enough cloth).
[c] Surgically removing bionic parts from living people will now yield the removed part for reinstallation or sale.
[c] The binding between workers and bills will no longer time out. This should eliminate problems with workers starting the same bill several times and ending up with multiple unfinished versions of the same item.
[c] The ‘was imprisoned’ thought now has a greater effect on mood.
[c] Fixed growers just standing there when there was a nearby growing job that was not accessible (e.g. a plant pot in a locked room).
[c] Plant not growing now text uses the word ‘resting’ to clarify that the problem isn’t a lack of light.
[d] Alpha8c created a major bug where colonists would never plant in hydroponics basins. The fixed build, Alpha8d, is now uploaded.
[e] I just released a nonessential fix to reduce the mood impact of seeing rotting corpses from -14 to -4.
[f] The ‘saw corpse’ thought is stacking far too high because of a bug.
