let xeno heal by stealing food to eat or eating corpses.

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): i know that for the most part, xenos dont need more buffs, but xenos who are disconnected from their hive are uniquely vulnerable, they may have no weeds to heal with. so, as it has been established in certain scenes, cut or intact, in various pieces of alien media, that xenos do eat, this could give an isolated xeno some last ditch chances to stay alive.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): an alternate healing method for xenos isolated from weeds

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): to keep it from being too strong, feel free to make the healing amount for each bite of food/corpse as small as you feel appropriate. its only natural that a creature would need time and safety to heal properly.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): codes

We can say that if a Marine is isolated from his Squad, he's fucked, but that's not true for the most part. A healing hunter sucks and all, and so does a Larva that is able to shrug off certain damage, but those are players too, they should have a large risk to keep going and when they take this risk they'll reap a large reward.

Please give a reason so we can have an understanding of why.

-1 from me.

Xenos and Marines are supposed to be working together in their respective teams to accomplish their goals, and to varying degrees are vulnerable on their own. We shouldn't be encouraging the lone wolf mentality.

Oh fine! Misto, change the requirement to be Marine MREs and chopped off limbs of other Marines. This suggestion needs to be added

I was about to shut this down due to not being lore, until I saw the video. Well I'll be danged, Xenomorphs DO eat.

While this give Xenomorphs a better IC justification for stealing dead bodies. I'm a bit hesitant to +1 it cause I have concerns about this creating a whole new meta revolving around dead people (for both marines and Xenos)

Neutral, but I would like to see this experimented with.

Edit: Think of the Queen gibbing marines so the hive can feed on the torn remains.

Xenos eating bodies to heal is a pretty eh subject. My main issue with it is that it's such an odd mechanic, and that it could probably be exploited by keeping bodies hidden around the colony as sort of health dispensers

I doubt it's going to be necessary. Weeds act as an adequate source of healing already,, so do pheromones, we don't want to make Support castes even weaker than they already are by allowing Xenos to bypass them
