Corpse digestion Dev island graveyard teleportation

Post by Queue^2 » 11 Dec 2015, 11:56

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Currently any corpses fully digested by xeno's causes the server to stutter, sometimes severely, if enough xeno's are attempting to write their own guides on how to serve man. Instead of deleting the corpse and all the items which I hear is the cause of the stuttering i suggest the corpses be teleported to a Dev island graveyard so they can be properly mourned by their former occupants with the added bonus of not giving the game server seizures.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Less (maybe even no) stuttering caused by the digestion of corpses.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Pretty straight forward, teleport any fully digested corpses to a dev island graveyard instead of deleting them.

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

Or...we remove devouring entirely because there's no way a xeno could eat a marine whole in full armor through its big mouth much less its little mouth.

Devouring is currently too important for its ability to move marines and monkeys through tunnels and vents.

Digestion is a gameplay issue, devouring is a balanced mechanic, because awake marines can chestburst xenos.

I've been thinking about this. Mainly because when a corpse is digested it makes it difficult to track it's history.
