added a new server configuration option ActiveDronesInTileRemovalThreshold (defaults to 20). This controls the amount of active drones (of the same type) have to be in the same tile for them to be considered for despawning. Low values of this setting will result in performance degradation due to constant spawning and despawning of trading and mining drones.
