Corpse question..

[Kain]

So, apparently if you kill someone, after while the body will turn into a BT and can cause a voidout if it enters contact with other person. What happens if you simply dump the body on a place where a lot of BTs already spawn?

No one usually goes there.

Not really sure what game you are playing but I've had to go to about 20 places where BT's spawn all the time and that was just 1/2 way through the game. Maybe a better question is .. what happens if you drop the body in an area that never rains and never has BT's in the first place.

I'm sorry, what are you talking about? Either you didn't get my question or I didn't get your response.

He's saying living NPCs usually avoid BT zones

Are BT zones permanent in this game or weather related?

For example between junk dealer prepper and the chiral artist's place can be full of BTs but only when it is raining. When it is not raining, there are porters visiting the chiral artist's place.

They're always in the same locations, but are dependent on if it's raining or not. Porters always take the safest route to their destination, so they take the long way around those BT areas, but will still always start running when it rains.

I just dump them in the crematorium.

I'm sure they'll respawn at some point (story progress, side missions, etc.) but for now,
i'm enjoying the silence.

if you dump a body in a secluded location that you can absolutely guarantee an NPC porter / MULE / terrorist won't visit - like on the very shorelines of the map, the tar pit et.al - you can actually forgo properly cremating it, and it'll turn into a new BT

the reason why i say if you really want to do it for experiment's sake you need a secluded location is because BTs can actually kill NPCs, which triggers voidouts
NPCs naturally avoid pre-existing zones, but if you wipe out a MULE camp and neglect to move the bodies, as soon as the camp respawns those NPCs will trigger voidouts
however, if you dump the bodies on top of a mountain or something those new BTs will happily chill there for all eternity

in short, you can create new BT zones by willingly violating common-sense, but it isn't permanent in the sense that if you kill all those BTs you created they won't respawn there
dumping it in an existing BT zone is thus mostly 'safe', but i've no idea what happens if that zone is made devoid of already-extant BTs, i.e. by killing the catcher
maybe you'll end up with nothing but that one BT?
