Undocumented config node 'Experiment' in terrain scatter configuration #215

There seems to be a lack of documentation on how to add science to terrain scatters. It is clear that it involves the 'Science' boolean, and that the 'Experiment {}' config node has something to do with creating the 'actual' experiment, but there is no information on what the 'Experiment {}' node actually does, let alone how to use it, or how and where to set up the definitions for a specific scatter.

<Thomas> grumble
<Sigma88> what? :)
<Thomas> Sigma88: The syntax in the Experiment node is the same as ModuleExperiment (or so) in part.cfg
<Sigma88> ok thanks
<Thomas> Well, I returned 5 seconds after TWG quit

At some point there really should be a proper documentation for Kopernicus....

for completion's sake, the name of the MODULE is

ModuleScienceExperiment

you can find it in PARTs like the goo experiment tube thingy

So, to clarify: treat the Experiment node like a science module from a part? Ergo, one can just crosscopy from a 'scientific part' and edit the values, then set up experiment definitions with:
@EXPERIMENT_DEFINITION[*]:HAS[#id[X]]
Where X is the string value assigned to 'experimentID'?

Alright. I'll try it, then post the results here.

except the EXPERIMENT_DEFINITION you are looking for doesn't exist so you need to create a new one

Gotcha. I've set up the Experiment{} node, and the EXPERIMENT_DEFINITION. Testing it now.
