New Proposals, New Modular Servers, SFP Modules, Rack Standardization and More!

Hello tower network admins!

We are pleased to deliver 0.13.5, featuring new proposals on different paths in endless babel mode, more modular servers, SFP ports, bigger UPS specs, rack standardization, and more.

We'll continue to release balance updates after gathering more feedback from the players on the new proposals.
