Chance for moose, coyotes, and rattlesnakes to birth mutant babies

[Karol1223]

Summary

None

Purpose of change

#75830 is closed. My prayers have been answered.

Describe the solution

• Add a 5% chance for non-mutated coyotes, moose, or timber rattlesnakes to birth a mutant baby instead of a normal one
• By extension I had to add mutant coyote pups, and made mutant coyotes reproduce as well
• Delayed tusked moose spawns by how long it takes for a tusked moose calf to grow to adulthood post Moose audit #74554
• Re-added mutant coyote spawns that got removed... at some point? I honestly don't know when. I just know they didn't spawn
• Re-added mutant rattlesnake spawns because I accidentally removed them entirely in Some new reptiles #75829

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Beavers - next in line, I'll get to them soon, they need it the most because similar to mutant coyotes, mutant beavers stopped spawning a while ago
• Raccoons, bears, deer - I'll get to them while auditing their non-mutated counterparts
• Crows, carp - need a more thorough audit in a separate PR
• Dogs, frogs - I don't want to make a bazillion monstergroups for all types of them yet so I'm putting it off
• Salmon - needs a couple new babies to get the same treatment rattlesnakes did here

Testing

Additional context

Drafting because apparently copy-from overwriting for reproduction fields doesn't work properly.

For repro testing you can do a very short timer and a lot of mobs, then teleporting and back repeatedly while incrementing time via the debug menu (when they are unloaded).
You don't need to test "do they spawn mutants at exactly 5%", just some rough tests to ensure group repro and any timers on them work.

Yeah so it turned out the reason I couldn't test it was because copy-from overwriting for the field is kinda broken. For some reason I didn't get an error on load when opening the game, but everyone else on the discord seems to get the error as well.

A fun idea: How about giving the mutants also a chance to give birth to normal babies as well?

No

So this should actually be ready to go. In theory. The problem is I cannot, anything I do, get it to work ingame. This, famously, is bad and a reason against merging a PR.

So uh. Anyone wants to give testing this a shot and give me a hand? Because I've been abusing these damn coyotes for the last 5 days and I cannot get them to reproduce no matter what I do.

Wasn't able to call the reproduction also, but updating the branch to the recent master fixed it, somehow
