• Made the horde direction marker more prominent when set

Other changes

• Added a bar that tracks the cycle time under the effort resource
  
• Improved performance when units are selected
  
• Fixed lost colonies sometimes being claimed on map load
  
• Increased the size of various GUI elements
  
• If a skill is selected right clicking now cancels it instead of moving
  

Demo 1.001d

Balance changes
I have slightly increased the rate of effort gain as players found it difficult to manage this when juggling upkeep costs in the early game. I've also reduced the impact of Flappers, especially in the second wave as that was ending a lot of runs unexpectedly. Finally, the health of some buildings has been increased.

• Wall health 150 -> 180
  
• Well and Thumper health 40 -> 50
  
• Effort per professional 2 -> 2.5
  
• Workers per solar 4 -> 3
  
• Flapper health 30 -> 25
  
• Flapper damage 5 -> 4
  
• Flapper spawn chance in second wave reduced
  
• Reduced The Brain's Flapper spawn chance buff
  
• Gate health 150 -> 200
  
• Tower health 60 -> 80
