My Enternia 2.1.4: Alta Decryption

At last, a data patch that fixes drone malfunctions! You can now make sure that your drone spawners are safe to use...

Note that next version (2.2) will remove a lot of long-deprecated items and objects. Load your world and check inventories with those to update them to avoid them turning into Perfectly Generic Items. Deprecation Station will also get deprecated. It's no longer of much use, and the Perfectly Generic Item section will be moved to the Upgrade Station.
