Longer Item Decay

Description
Makes dropped items last 3 times as long (15 min).

Technically the mod is patching 1 value in defaultParameters.config. There may be mods out there that don't know how to patch and instead replace whole config file. They have to patch it too or this change might get overridden.

I had to make it because while mining asteroids, the ore started disappearing before i had chance to loot them.

When you get to the point you mine asteroids for pixel refining, you can do it much faster using matter manipulator than the vehicle's drill. Problem is that the movement is extremely slow in 0 gravity so when you find a massive ore field you have to leave some of them floating, and wait to collect with mech later. It also saves the mech energy and you can do longer trips.

Anyway the default 5 mins for items to disappear was just too short time, they would vanish before i collect.

This is really useful for when I die underground and need two or three minutes just to get down and still need to find the exact location.
