It’s been a while since 4x4 had a proper physics explosion. Kinda comforting actually (I fixed it)

To address extreme levels of factory building, we've applied the following temporary limits:

- factories may only consume 6000 MW of power / day
- players can only build 600 conveyor belts / day
- you can no longer pet the lizard doggo
