• Increased resource probe detection range for player miners to match the map circle
  
• Higher skill pilots with resource probes in storage will deploy them prior to mining if there isn't one in range
  
• Added diplomacy action to make faction build a factory for a specific ware
  
• Factions that usually get trade from a linked ally (MIN->TEL, etc) can now request that faction build a freighter to help their shortages (faction pairs defined in parameters.xml)
  
• AI will no longer try to handle a production shortage by unpausing a station that is still full; clearly nobody can get there safely/efficiently
  
• Fixed Boron not building habitation for factories created after game start (vanilla bug)
  
• Fixed AI not adding extra habitation as needed for factories when expanding (vanilla bug)
