Bug Description: Using any explosive inside a xeno will only transfer the damage onto you and will not affect the xeno at all.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Get devoured.
2. Set off grenade/have C4 on yourself about to explode.
3. Observe as you either go into paincrit or simply gib from within the xeno, doing nothing to it.

More than likely considering being devoured is not placing you "inside" the xeno but rather putting you in a sorta hammer space.

The devoured mob is inside the xeno, the issue is with how explosions are handled. Basically, the explosion occurs on the tile, it doesn't care whether the grenade is inside a box, on the ground, or inside a box on a human devoured by a xeno inside a closet.

Same reason why throwing a box full of grenades with remote signallers and blowing them all doesn't cause much damage.

Although the xeno ought to take some significant damage. Did the xeno not take any damage at all in this case?
