Fixes

Fix for Mining Drones and player ship on Steam Deck not able to traverse full playfield (more work for Steam Deck needed)

Changes

Change to Mining Drone calculations to allow for dynamic amount of drones in playfield
Mining Drones 'mining' amounts will adjust to number of drones in playfield
Adjusted mining drones 'mining' range
AF 8080 enemy wave position dynamic based on playfield size
Adjusted scroll up/down button size in Research Menu for easier access
Updated guide to further clarify that rockets are NOT used to mine asteroids. Too many folks trying to shoot them to pieces. 😄 (perhaps in another zone eventually)
Adjusted max value for Reputation meter to a more realistic value.

Additions

Added setting to configure quantity of mining drones on screen (settings menu)
Added 'Gems Required' filter in Research Menu

Steamworks

Added selectable option to launch with OpenGL (for those without Vulkan supported video cards)

Note that OpenGL is less performant that Vulkan, it will not be the optimal experience.
