This Unofficial Change of Space Age, changes things to make the game flow better than the base game with space age.

This unofficial change of the game will also help people advance faster with extra modded content with space age so you can actually enjoy other content!

Changes In Space Age:

1. New Dehydrating, Rehydrating, Freezing and Thawing Mechanics:

   Certain Spoiled items can now be dehydrated by putting items into a Stone furnace or Steel Furnace but can take a long time to finish
   The reason you cannot dehydrate or freeze items in the electric furnace is due a productivity module exploit where you can make it have productivity as long as the prod modules were placed inside before the item was placed. (work arounds to patch this were tried but none were used due to performance and or certain edge cases in which could not be dealt with the current available event listeners in the runtime modding api)
   A permanent solution to this problem would be to have a Change Recipe option on furnaces, but to keep it as similar to factorio in functionality it was kept as is.

   Removes the Spoilage timer.

   Dehydrated items have to be Rehydrated in a Chemical plant with a recipe to be turned back into their base version to be used in crafting.
   This also in turn makes it so you can upscale on gleba for better science and material without needing recyclers!
   Agricultural science -> Furnace -> Chemical plant (with Quality Mods) -> Furnace, so on and so forth
