    - Fix GUI size with large display scales.
    - Fix error clearing networks when after merging networks.
Version: 0.5.0

  Changes:
    - Added a GUI to see road network status. Contents, depots, etc.
    - Internally refactored how depots are added to road networks.
    - Change how 'riding' drones works, now you are just teleported each tick. This is to prevent issue like construction robots flying off the map.
    - Road network data will now be reset and recalculated each time the config changes.
    - Minimum request count determination is changed slightly. This should help prevent the situation of many drones going to pick up tiny amounts of items.
    - Drones will try to preserve fluid temperature when transporting fluids.
Version: 0.4.1
Date: 2020-04-15
  Changes:
    - Fixed script error when building buffer depots.

Date: 2020-04-14

    - Changed update logic so it has a fixed interval, within which all depots will be updated. It defaults to 60 ticks.
    - Added a runtime global mod setting to adjust this interval. Lower values mean more script update time, but the depots are more responsive. Higher values mean reduced UPS usage, at the cost of less responsive depots.
Version: 0.3.12
Date: 2020-04-13
  Changes:
    - Fix error when supply depots are killed.
Version: 0.3.11
Date: 2020-04-13

Version: 0.3.6
Date: 2020-04-11
  Changes:
    - Added a simple heuristic related to item count to the buffer selection function. This should help the situation of requesters always taking from the closest buffer even if it has a very small amount of available items.
Version: 0.3.5
Date: 2020-04-11
  Changes:
    - Fixed error trying to refund bad tile placement with Construction drones built tile event.

Date: 2020-04-09
  Changes:
    - Fixed buffer depots providing fluids.

    - Adjusted logic of requesting from buffers. Request depots should tend to request from nearest buffers more reliably.
Version: 0.3.2
Date: 2020-04-09
  Changes:
    - Fixed a script error when removing a depot which was holding a reference to a dead drone.

    - Fixed handling of dying supply depots.
Version: 0.3.0
Date: 2020-04-08
  Changes:
    - Added buffer depot. The buffer depot has priority over normal request depots. Request depots also won't take from supply depots if they have been offered the same items from a buffer depot.
    - Supplying depots (supply, fluid, mining, buffer) will offer to the closest request depots first.
    - Fixed some issue with modded rails and gates not being placeable on roads.
    - Buffed fuel depot capacity to 10k.
    - Removed 'minimum request amount' logic.
