Small rat audit
Summary
Bugfixes "Fix rat aggression"
Purpose of change
Rats are weird. Black rats are aggressive until you get close, which often activates safe mode making it a pain to do stuff like hauling or autodriving. They also have a few weird flags, like stumbling. Brown rats (renamed from sewer rats) also had really shitty day vision for no reason, and could upgrade.
Describe the solution
Fixes all of that.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Playing nothing but DDotD so no rats.
Testing

Does dropping it to 10 or 15 for day and 10 for night sound good? I'll also fix albino rats
Well, i will probably let others have more input in my opinion both rats should be 1~2 tiles during the day. Since 1 tile is 3 meters, that already seems far too much for a rat to see during the day since sunlight is supposed to physically hurt them. So 1 or 2 tiles should be enough
Could give them instead very good hearing and smell and make them run away from those things with a sounds fear flag.

What? 1 tile is 1 meter (usually)

- The albino Norway rat, an omnivorous rodent with sleek white fur and a long, rough tail. While its ancestors were harbingers of plague, these clever animals are omnipresent in modern biomedical research. Due to its albino nature, its vision in both day and nighttime enviroments is very diminished.
- The brown rat is worm-tailed rodent with long whiskers and beady eyes, larger than its cousin, the black rat. Widespread where ever humans are (save for Antartica and Albera), they live off of foraging and will eat whatever they can find.

Hints for adding a new word to the dictionary
- If the word is normally in all lowercase, such as the noun
wordor the verbdoes, add it in its lower-case form; if the word is a proper noun, such as the surnameGeorge, add it in its initial-caps form; if the word is an acronym or has special letter case, such as the acronymCDDAor the unitmW, add it by preserving the case of all the letters. A word in the dictionary will also match its initial-caps form (if the word is in all lowercase) and all-uppercase form, so a word should be added to the dictionary in its normal letter case even if used in a different letter case in a sentence. - For a word to be added to the dictionary, it should either be a real, properly-spelled modern American English word, a foreign loan word (including romanized foreign names), or a foreign or made-up word that is used consistently and commonly enough in the game. Intentional misspelling (including eye dialect) of a word should not be added unless it has become a common terminology in the game, because while someone may have a legitimate use for it, another person may spell it that way accidentally.
