The names of the playback options on speakers should be unified with the Radar's signal configuration names, changing the name of the "global" option to "universal"
What?
Currently, speakers have three playback options: "local", "surface", and "global". The name "global" is misleading, as this will still play the sound on a different planet. This means this is actually a universal signal, and since the Radar has new signal configuration options of "surface" and "universal", the names should be unified across these buildings.
Why?
With the addition of new planets, the "global" setting was already misleading - The "global" and "surface" sounds should *technically* do the same thing. Now that radars have the options "surface" and "universal", the names should be updated to prevent ambiguity.

Also local sound (nearby to the speaker) should have sub-option to be heard by all teams (forces)

Haha, yes, this confused me for a moment when I was revisiting the game!

Global playback mode has been renamed to Universe, to match the naming of radar GUI, for the next release, 2.1.10.
