Adjusted the pre/post-deployment weights and materials kits requirements for inflatables. This is now scaled so that a 1.25m "volleyball" inflatable can be deployed with the 600MKs in the 1.25m Kontainer.

Moved small/inflatable centrifuges from short term habitation to long term (short term hab seems to me to be a tech level of at or just above ISS, artificial gravity is more advanced and more relevant to long term habitation), larger rigid centrifuges from long term to colonization. This separates parts the fill the same niche from the same tech level.

I think one or more of the smaller centrifuges are inspired by the ~2011 Nautilus-X proposal (I thought this was mentioned somewhere in the config comments or album, but maybe it's just an assumption I made based on the older Habitat Pack mod by PorkJet.) If that's the case then they would already be "at or just above ISS" tech level.

I always imagined the small ones as tech demonstrators for research on the health effects of artificial vs microgravity, with the bigger ones for serious long-term use. So I think they are appropriately placed now.
