Change Scenario Editor Starting Population Cap

[O Negative]

Right now, the scenario editor limits you to a pool of 10 people (or, and from). It would be nice if the scenario editor wasn't so restrictive.

It's not a huge deal, because you can edit the scenario xml to be whatever you want. But, if you want to share a scenario on the Steam Workshop which has a pool larger than 10, it just gets put back down to 10. For example:

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<savedscenario>

<gameVersion>0.18.1722 rev1198</gameVersion>

<scenario>
<name>The 25</name>
<summary>25 Survivors - Start With Nothing</summary>
<description>The civilian ship you were all on has suffered a fatal malfunction. You and most of the others managed to make it to the escape pods. Unfortunately, your pods have gone astray, and you have been separated from the other survivors and materials.

What will you do?</description>

<li Class="ScenPart_DisableIncident">

<incident>FarmAnimalsWanderIn</incident>
</li>
</parts>
</scenario>
</savedscenario>

This is the XML of a scenario that I've made which allows you to start with 25 people, and absolutely no resources. It's chaotic, but fun in my opinion

I understand there's the issue with the UI involved, though. There's only enough room on the left-hand side for 10 portraits/cards.
