Icon above pheromone emitting xenos

[Szunti]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): When a xeno emits pheromones an icon appear above it that other xenos can see even through walls, similar to the timer or squad HUD. The icon would be different for the different type of pheromones.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Xenos know where are the pheromones coming from, how far it reaches, if they will be affected in combat.
Easier to avoid emitting the same pheromones as another xeno.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
I missed this a lot. Mainly as a drone emitting pheromones. Eg. I have recovery pheromones emitted and I meet another drone. Now I have to turn off my pheromones, switch to stats tab, check if I am still affected by recovery and if I am, I can switch to another pheromone. The other option is to ask, but it takes even more time. This would also allow xenos to plan the assault better. Now you can't know unless you ask which drone around you gives which pheromone, so you can't be sure which ones will affect you in combat.

+1. This is just like the HealthHUD and PlasmaHUD suggestion: a QoL that needs to happen for xenos.

[Simo94]

+1 there is no reason not to add this

[Forst]

Different icon colors for type?

Otherwise +1

[Swagile]

+ 1.

Also, pheremones work as long as you see the xeno emitting it, even through walls so no need for the distance thing.

[Nick123q23]

Yes, please. +1

[TheMaskedMan2]

+1 add this.

Also health and plasma hud for your xeno buddies.

[misto]

+1 enhances cooperations

[kazere]

+1 No harm in not doing this. Also makes it so that xeno would approach the correct drone/prae/carrier for pheromones.

I'll +1 this, and I'd also like to add as a sub-suggestion to label the pheromones in the Stats tab by who is emitting them. That way it's evident which xeno is emitting the strongest pheromones so, say, a lower-tier drone can switch to something that isn't already being emitted.

I thought all pheromones have the same strength.

I thought all pheromones have the same strength.

Not in the latest update. They get stronger with age and caste, and they don't stack anymore.

[Sarah_U.]

+1 for having said example: [lvl/str + Type] shown.

E.G: [3✚] (Elite recovery / Strenght 3 recovery)

Or something like that. WOuld be quite nice. Although no need to place the strenght, just there for flavour due to how it'll help coordinate.

[MrJJJ]

+1 because QOL
