Gameplay Improvements
Eyes now also boost projectile speed when they increase weapon range.

Organ rebalance pass (general tweaks; small tentacles nerfed).
Nutrient Leech rebalance: Small Mouths steal 1 nut every 3 bites (reduced siphoning efficiency).

Save/Load fix: Resolves the issue when saving right after killing Mogar but before grabbing the Eye.
