Update V0.0.6.46

Hello everybody,

In this update, we focused on extending and improving AI behavior, adding audio content, and implementing new construction elements. Additionally, we have added rudimentary Steam SDK integration, that we hope to expand on in the future, and supplied information panels for NPCs to allow for better status tracking. Swarm behavior has been enhanced with a strategic hive expansion and construction mode. In addition, NPC difficulty scaling has been added to address instances of overpowered hunters and underpowered detonators.
