Satisfactory Experimental Update v1.1.1.5 refactors spline collision and tightens Steam Deck support

Coffee Stain Studios reopened the experimental branch for Satisfactory with EXPERIMENTAL Update v1.1.1.5. A refactor of Spline Collision now makes Conveyor Belts, Pipelines, and Hypertubes register collision only when a player is nearby, which should reduce memory use on larger saves that rely heavily on those items. Expect testing, as the change has landed on Experimental. This allows for any odd behavior in singleplayer or multiplayer/dedicated servers to be caught before the change moves to the default branch.
