Add configurable cost balancing #6

I've been using long warehouses for a few hundred hours and I quite enjoyed this mod. I'm starting a new game and aimed to use longer trains. The main issue is that the cost of the long warehouse for longer trains is quite insane; far in excess of what my starter base could produce. The price for the base long warehouse is fairly reasonable, but even the 4-wagon chest being 480 steel plates is pretty steep, and after that 900 steel plates and 450 stone bricks and more, becomes unaffordable; you'd practically need a whole base just to make the warehouses.

I agree that the warehouses are powerful and probably should cost more than an equivalent number of steel chests, but it should not be impossible to make them with a starter base.

Long Storage Tanks also suffers from this issue.

I experimented a lot with the current balancing and I would consider it to be exactly where I want it. I would agree with a startup-settings option with "cheap", "normal" and possibly "expensive" defaulting to the current values as normal.

As I am not playing the game right now, It wont happen for now from my side... but I would appreciate a Pull request.
