v0.3.5:

* Bacteria rebalanced to reduce the amount of active attention they require. Bacterial blooms are more rare

* Reduced maintenance cost burden so labs can comfortably afford significantly higher cell counts

* Biomarket, contracts, Cryobank, and glossary panels all merged into one "Manage" screen with tabs

* Scaled down culture sizes significantly for improved population dynamics

* Improved plasmodia lifecycle to be more dynamic

* Adjusted mutation rates for improved variety

* Tuned strain classifier to hopefully improve strain coherence. Watching results

* Added substrate brush. Allows for direct modification of the environment

* Substrate nutrient composition is no longer static

* Various Amoeba fixes aimed at making them viable. Previously, Amoeba almost never would appear and wouldn't survive due to various issues

* Increased bacteria base size for visibility

* Increased digestive enzyme mutation rate and reduced enzyme costs

* Reduced hexagon size for New Culture preview. Each hexagon now can only carry one cell at a time

* Testing out different style of contract objectives where they ask for gene combos instead of specific gene stats

* Visual tweaks
