Optimization

• Performance optimizations for AI have been added as well as the implementation of Occlusion culling (only culling deco & NPC's in rooms the player cannot see in POI's) which you should see result in FPS boosts in large POI's such as "Deep space radar complex".
  Note: Activating godmode disables the culling so the FPS will go down to how it used to be until godmode is disabled.

  +BlocksGroupsConfig.ecf: Define custom Block Group String for better balancing Block Groups MaxCount.
