Small Corpses Decay Faster

Once I was a chicken farmer...

You know the rest of the story.


A simple mod which makes that the time it takes for a corpse to drop from full health points to zero depends on the body size of the corpse race and its life stage.


This is achieved by

• giving corpses different maxHp depending on their races:
  100hp * sqrt(baseBodySize)
  examples: rat 45, duck 55, sheep 87, human 100, cow 155, thrumbo 200 (vanilla: all corpses have 100hp)
  
• making the rate of hp loss dependent on the lifestage of the corpse:
  * 1 / sqrt(baseBodySize)
  baby: *2.24, juvenile: *1.4, adult: 1 (vanilla)

Additionally the time for a corpse to reach the dessicated state is also dependent on the races bodysize (but ignores lifestage).
That means the time until any corpse starts rotting is untoched, but how long a corpse is rotting before it is dessicated is altered.


Adding/Removing from a save should not cause any problems.


If there is any feedback regarding the calculations/balancing, feel free to give your opinion.
