Gas realism enhancement

Also optional addon for 3x inventory world settings:

Intention:

To make pressurization of ships, airlocks and so on acctually useful. Indended for use with 1:1:1 world settings.
Basically, the low inventory setting is so that you don't just pack 100 bottles in your backpack and disregard the mod completely. You can also play it on 3x inventory.
If you can't just live out in space all the time, you have to improvise, use drones and so on. Or ships with oxygen inbuilt.
If your jetpack is not all-powerful, then you also have to take gas with you if you want to fly for more than a few seconds. On planets, your jetpack will last about the same time as in space now, but even then it doesn't allow you to go on extended recon missions without a vehicle.

Starting out is unfortunately very very slow using this mod. It's much better as soon as you get a second power source so you can build and mine better.


Canges made to player gas use:

- 100x faster hydrogen usage
- 10x faster oxygen usage (100 seconds)
- 100x less gravity interferrence


Why did I make this?
Partly I wanted a challenge. And I think I succeeded there.
Mostly though, I'm kind of annoyed that the majority of the time I spend playing this game is in a space suit building tons of stuff super fast. Ships built for welding just aren't as maneuverable and end up taking longer to get to the build site.
I wanted to make something that would give that reason back the the player to actually engineer solutions to the problems around. Just going to realistic settings isn't enough either. You can still just make lots of trips, but it's frustrating.
Maybe this way it will be less frustrating and more insentive based?
