Balance

Bugfix

• The Payback origin now get the correct starting buildings as Materialist and Spiritualist

• The trait Propaganda Machines now shows the correct modifier

• When transferring planets under colonization after a war is on, if the colonizing species isn't allowed to colonize the colony is destroyed (stops forever colonization where you keep sending the new colons to the slave pits)

• Fixed leaders losing ascension related traits after species modification in some cases.

• The tooltip for Permanent Employment Civic's Reassigners say they use "Food (or equivalent)", implying they use Alloys when you are Thermophile.

Stability

• Fixed random CTD with invalid ships

• Changed stack allocation to heap in particle varied values to avoid CTD:ing
