About the PR

Started towards achieving goal outlined in this discord thread.

General changes:

Increased payouts for expeditions with higher difficulty rating. Moderate 15k -> 20k; Hazardous 20k -> 40k; Extreme 25k -> 70k.
Added more flatpacks to loot pools: more vendomats, RTG(s), cryo pods.
Reworked dungeon random crate spawners: added dungeon room theme specific crates (kitchen, med, hydro, engi and general), added crates with restocks.
Increased probability for weapon spawns.
Added more guns to T3-T5 loot pools.

Dungeon templates changes:

Replaced old crate spawners on all dungeon templates with new ones.
Buffed loot on mineshaft, haunted and snow lab dungeon templates.
Added couple more additional weapon spawn points on all dungeon templates.

Mob changes:

Buffed cash loot from mobs while slightly nerfing lootable materials. Silicons now drop random flatpacks. Roughly 2k spesos from 1 humanoid mob.
Made mobs immune to extreme temperature modifiers.

Why / Balance

Attempting to balance risk/reward of expeditions to make them more appealing.
