Increase max grid size and allow re-zeroing

A recent video stated it was possible to build a Space Elevator. Whilst this is technically true, due to the 16,384 large block grid dimension limit the max grid height/width/depth is 40.960m - about 2-4km from 0g on Earth-like unless you start from the top of a mountain. Realistically, the limit is half that due to 0,0,0 being where you start the grid as far as I can tell - which is ground level in most cases. You can work around this with locked rotors but these can cause issues on even unstressed servers. Nothing explodes but the top can move significantly when other grids stream in.


Please consider adding an option on single player and server to increase this limit even if it counts as experimental mode. One of the things I like about this game is it lets players mess with settings that other developers would not allow giving players a lot of freedom even if its not wise. Assuming this limit is not baked in at a fundamental level, let us create ludicrous grids should we choose! :-)
