Medical IVs 1.5

I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL CREATOR OF THIS MOD. ORGINAL MOD CAN BE FOUND HERE: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1424438685

With this in mind, all I have done is make a very small change, as well as update to 1.5. This mod will be taken immediately upon request of the original creator. (Knight and kyoukopan)

This mod has been updated to 1.5, as well as a slight adjustment to refueling. The regular IV's will only be automatically refueled to half capacity and can still be manually filled to capacity to prevent pawns from walking back and forth to repeatedly fill it.

Original description can be found below.

Version 1.6.1

<size=18><color=#3986B3>[Medical IVs]</color> (RimWorld 1.4)</size>
Medical IVs introduces a new, key piece of technology from the modern era of medicine -- intravaneous therapy or "drips". In real life, these drips contain fluids such as antibiotics, painkillers or any other medication and make use of tubes to directly inject the fluid into a person's bloodstream. Improvements in 1.6.1 (RimWorld 1.4):

- Updated to RimWorld 1.4
- Fixed the bug where colonists with painshock would be downed as soon as they stopped being treated by the Glitterworld IV (causing an infinite loop of downed -> rescue -> get up -> repeat)
- Improved the descriptions of many items
- Renamed 'IV Painkillers' to just 'Painkillers'
- Renamed 'IV Antibiotics' to just 'Antibiotics'
- Cleaned up the code
- Fixed a bunch of typos
- Significant rebalancing:
- Research cost has INCREASED across the board
- Power consumption has been DECREASED across the board
- Halved the market value of painkillers and antibiotics
- Balanced the ingredient cost of building each IV stand
- Glitterworld IV is now 'Ultra' tech level

A rebalance was needed to better incentivise the use of the refuelable IV stands over the electrical ones. With the increased research and ingredient cost, the electrical stands are now powerful late-game luxuries more inline with 'Spacer' technology as opposed to cheaty, unlimited versions of the default IVs you could unlock pretty quickly.

Feedback on these changes is welcome!
