Tentative RationalResources compatibility #2

Saw your mod and it looked pretty cool, so I was compelled to write a compatibility patch for it. Hopefully these make sense, but it's fine if they don't and are just motivation to figure out the correct configs — "if you want the right answer, offer the wrong one", and so on.

(Densities are assuming 10x scale.)

Nito: RockIce. Mixed coloration but diamond-shaped material in surface sample implies perhaps both rock and ice. Density ~1.7 g/cm^3, rubble-pile or mixed icy composition? Let's go with the latter. Tito: RockIce. Darker color - clearly some rock/dust in composition. Density ~1.6 g/cm^3, but also surface sample's "hard, semi-tough surface" - maybe that's compacted ice? Hargaladh: RockMetal. Density ~10 g/cm^3, and surface sample implies metallic composition. Gryspar: Rock. Dark with density ~3 g/cm^3. Chymere: IceMethane, ExoIce. Density ~4 g/cm^3 but bright and called "more like Mimas" in the forum thread, so icy surface it is. Notably tholin-bearing bodies in MPE (Soden, Mracksis) get IceMethane. "A thin exosphere seems to be pooling near the basins"; ExoIce is common for distant bodies and consistent with icy behavior in system.

Thatmo unchanged (IceNitrogen, AtmIceNitrogen). Could use something for the seas, but with density=1.3 I'm not totally sure what that is. Nissee unchanged (IceWater, ExoIce)

Nyla: RockIce. Dark with density ~1.7 g/cm^3. Psei: IceWater. Light with density ~1.5 g/cm^3. Shrug.
