[New build - EXPERIMENTAL] 23w44a: Scrap, wrecks spawn

This build introduce a new game mechanic: scraping!

Change to Life-support system following community feedback:
  • the VFX will no longer plays when a children entity moves inside the volume.
  • Fixed airtightness issues with a few blocks (canopy)
  • Added a "not airtight" property for some block like girder or grating
  • Added a decorative air vent cover brick, perfect to hide the life-support brick behind. It would block the vfx from playing

Wrecks spawning
  • Several wrecks will spawn on the terrain. Frequency depends on the planet.
  • Some vine will grows on them.


Scraping
  • A new scraping mechanic has been added: mine wrecks for scraps!
  • Scrap can then be placed into the furnace to extract iron.
  • The scraping mechanic will give rise to a consortium and some associated missions.
  • For now the only scrap is a iron based one but further components will be added.


Other changes:
The wreck spawn require significant change to various part of the engine so minimize loading hiccup.
Please report any regression!

Thanks for playing!
