Description

This value would be good to have in a config file. Hardcoded max should perhaps be 16, though.

Note that the current value (11 inc 1 scavenger "faction") is spread out on a number of places.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Search for all hardcoded instances of MAX PLAYERS and replace with a configurable value read from a configuration file. Ensure the default is set to 11 (or 16 as suggested) and update all relevant code paths.
