		+	Note: No known constant exists but i propose that we use the value 5.5 as the constant as this seems to give a well balanced range. Some results of this proposal would mean that resource concentrations between 0 and 49% would yield scrawny, resource concentrations between 50 to 75% would be medium sized and resource concentrations from 75-100% would be fat.

 An example for harvesting a level 30 creature with Hunting 4 without Veghash and no droid:

 The breakpoint for normal/fat is: ((45+100)/100) * 371 * (13.5/100) = 72 units.<br>
 Which means you will get up to 48 when it's skinny, 48 to 72 when it's normal and 72 and above when it's fat.<br>

-The concentration factor is an element of the creature harvest formula that takes into account the resource concentration values for a creature resource. When a player extracts resources from a creature, a check is made on the position that the player is at when issuing the harvest resource command. The resource concentration value at that position is then taken and divided by a constant value and then the result of that is compared with 3 cut off points. These cutoff points are indicated to the player through the messages:

 * The creature was scrawny and unhealthy<br>
 * The creature was of medium size<br>
 * The creature was fat and healthy<br>
 The messages about skinny, normal and fat are the only clues beside calculating from how much you actually get. When the concentration factor gets below 9% it is reported as skinny, when it gets above 13.5% it is reported as fat. The highest I've seen is above 15%. (The actual concentration is probably much higher and is divided by a constant value to get the factor. But using these factors instead simplifies the formula.)
