Death Penalty (Resurrection Sickness) with Multiplayer

This mod adds a penalty system for dying. It's not meant to make the game easier, but harder.
Each time you die, your max health gets capped at a lower amount.

I created this mod because once you have a Medical Room, there's no penalty for dying. If you're low on oxygen, you could just kill yourself and replenish it that way.

Details:
Each time you die, you get a penalty point. Your max health is (penalty ^ factor). By default this is
1 death - 75 health
2 deaths - 56 health
3 deaths - 42 health

Every 10 minutes without dying you will recover 1 penalty point.

This mod is configurable. Once you have loaded a game with it, look in SpaceEngineers/storage/1086167149.sbm_DeathPentalty/sickness.cfg. Config file contains details about each setting.

Commands:
• /sick - to get your current stats and remaining sickness time
• /sick all - As admin to get stats for all players
• /sick ver - to display the current version

Config File:
*It takes about 10 seconds just to respawn. You can set a recovery value of less than 60 seconds, but It really doesn't make sense.
**Care should be used with setting these values to zero, as characters could be quickly killed or be permanently stuck.

A bunch of credit goes to Death Counter, as this is how I was able to learn a huge chunk of the required logic.

This mod can probably be paired well with the Transporter Mod since you can no longer just kill yourself to "teleport" to other Medical Rooms.

BUGS:
• Loading an automated backup of a game will not revert the penalty states. This is a limitation of SpaceEngineers.
• After a penalty point is recovered, indicates "resurrection sickness subsides", even if still sick (incorrect message).
• System.IndexOutOfRangeException reported during startup. Possibly fixed; synchronization issue, hard to verify.
• Natural heal rate seem to be too fast after first death.
• Medkits don't seem to be usable when sick ("Can't consume More" message)
• Medkits reported to cause game crash when "sick".


Recent Fixes

• Possible fix for System.IndexOutOfRangeException (2021-05-05).
