Polish & QoL
* Tutorial games now only allow Twinseed, World Veins, and Ancient Spindles (this change is to lower complexity for first-time players).
* Tutorial ? helpers now only show on the currently active step if available.
* Pipette now contextually grabs the correct runeshrooms from ritual previews.
* Active Rituals have updated and colored constellation lines in the Runeshroom Window.
* Blueprint tiles are now more responsive to clicks (was fighting with scroll logic).
* Manaroots and paths have light versions of them that will likely get their own treatment.
* Saltways and Streamways now have placement and rotation FX.

Bug Fixes
* Fix reliquary shear interaction.
* Ritual Window now properly shows rotated matching rituals.
* Did a game-wide pass on structures that could get over-lit, please bug report if you still see any.
* Ancient Chest window now contextually extends out to 9x9, showing the full 81 slots.
