Update v0.91.00

As we launch our Kickstarter beta access, we're excited to present a major update filled with new features, improvements, and lots more!

[h2]Update highlights:[/h2]

• Overhauled Oxygen Management: Experience our reimagined oxygen system where electrolysis factories fill rooms with oxygen, and oxygen tanks take on the role of collection and dispensing, making oxygen dispensers a thing of the past.
  
• Voice-Activated Ledger: Our deal-pushing character is now fully voice-acted. While he insists on his contracts, he also provides helpful tutorials for navigating the market interfaces.
  
• Research Roadblock: Now you actually have to do the research for every module upgrade. Sorry, no free rides.
  
• Fuel Plant Comes Alive: The fuel plant now boasts a lively new animation.
  
• New Language Options: Now offering translations in Chinese, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, and French.
  
• Speed Boost: Introduced a 5th level of conveyor speed, now faster than ever, even without new models.
