What difficulty customization sliders we need?

[Skitso]

The game already has pretty decent difficulty options with plenty of sliders to further customize the experience to your liking. But of course, we want more for further playthroughs and added variety for years to come. So let's list some ideas for additional difficulty / campaign options here:

• First, I'd like the existing setting to have wider scale, exceeding the limits used in the official difficulty presets to give more flexibility.
• UFO Delegation: off, 1, 2, 3
• UUO damage multiplier: off, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3
• Crash site timer: 4h, 8h, 12h, 24h, persistent
• Peristent missions while en route: on/off
• Bleeding while stunned: on/off
• TU's when recovering from MC: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, uncoscious
• Alien/cleaner base panic damage multiplier: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3
• Alien materials gain multiplier: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2

Althou interesting,  I think these can be added like 6 months after release as config file option for dedicated players.

Shroud ON-OFF  - it would  be useful even now for testing AI, so player see  all the movement
