SCE Protocol

Main Fix:

• Players will now correctly start in the Tutorial chapter upon first world load (which is pretty crucial, as that chapter teaches new players how to NAVIGATE quest chapters)

Other fixes/Adjustments:

• Added Flares to the list of things that don't get ticked down for performance reasons (so their throw speed & distance should now always be more predictable and responsive)
• We can now throw some of our flares notably farther, and they don't bounce around so much when they land, making them doubly more responsive
  • It'll probably feel like your ordnances are coming down ~10-15% quicker, even though it's just the flare preparing faster
• Moved the "[...](what can I do?)" chapter into the "SCE Protocol" section, so new players see it more easily
• Increased ping distance so we can ping to the default modpack render distance now
• Removed the recipes for the new flares, so we can't perma-craft the new Repulsor flare (discussed at the bottom)
• Realized it's probably a good idea to continue giving ppl the Quest book since not everyone has "J" memorized as the hotkey to open quests
• Made water a tad brighter
• TRIED OUT removing seasons (to save some lag n' such), but it didn't really improve anything too notably, and being able to plan around seasons is a pretty engaging concept. Still, maybe a candidate for removal later
• Flares fired from a flare gun now travel their IRL distance of ~1,000 feet (304.8 meters/blocks) straight up (flares this powerful are typically reserved for huge ships at sea, but the military pulled some strings)
• Fixed the "SCE" tutorial quest potentially being un-completable if done in the wrong order

Buffs/reworks:

• Buffed Incendiary Missile to:
  • Actually work in snow now (it melts the snow before the fire spreads, so the snow doesn't just eat the fire)
  • Be less laggy
• Infrared Payload:
  • Custom-coded the infrared tracking because the original tracking missiles were very laggy
  • The missiles are staggered now (so it isn't deafening), and have true random offsets
  • If the flare vanishes early (like it hits a block or a mob), the missiles won't wiff; the missiles will remember where the flare's last position was and continue their volley on that position

NEW "Tactic" (military call-in):

Repulsor:

• Emits pulses on the ground beneath it, which repel hostile mobs in an 11-block radius for 12.5 seconds (or until the flare hits something)
  • This means it's best used outdoors, where you can shoot it straight up into the air and get a full use out of it!
  • This Tactic is the first to be activated by the new flare mod: signal_flares!

(I'm going to be REALLY sad if something super obvious and important is messed up again .-.)
