Key to Highlight bodies?
pressing ALT highlights items on the ground, so i was wondering, is there a key to highlight bodies (unconscious or dead) ?

Sometimes it's not so easy to see all the bodies after a fight and it would really help.

if anyone knows, please tell me :)

that doesnt exist, just look very good or dont loot ( you can get more cats just selling metal plates and building materials i got 600k doing this)

I'm pretty sure I remember there being a key to highlight bodies a few years ago, so I'm not sure why they removed it.
There never was a key to highlight Bodies. And last i knew. No plans to add it either.

Once you get a corpse disposal, just have a couple of squad members with that as their job and they will clear the town pretty quickly. If it's about looting them first though, I don't think automatic looting (from a job) works.

Something the OP want's is a +1 from me. Sometimes it's really hard to see bodies, especially if they decide to sink into the ground lol ;p

Something like this should be doable as a Cheat Engine script or similar, if lootable/if you can mouse over it, it could be scanned for in memory and hotkeyed to "mouse over all lootables"

maybe... It really seems like it could be done, but I've got no coding skills at all... sad

It's very much possible. But it doesn't seem to be added for the sake of 'keeping the game hard'... Because if you can spot enemies a mile away then ambushes are useless? But then again, enemies ambushing you should use stealth to become invisible instead.

I would just like to clarify that i never implied highlighting enemies, i mentioned bodies only (and unconscious).

If you could highlight enemies of course it would make the game much easier.

Here i merely wanted something for convinience when looting the bodies after a big brawl.

ALTERNATIVE:
Another thing which would be VERY useful would be an Auto-loot command, where your entire party would just loot everything from all the bodies on the ground (the ones with beige magnifying glass icon, not red ones (stealing/crime)).

If you have a decently large squad 15-20, all with large backpacks, they got more than enough space to loot all bodies.


Even though i love playing Kenshi (from time to time), what eventually burns me out is some of the micromanagement, especially if/once your party starts reaching 15-30 size.

It really reminds me of Civilization (talking about all the way back to Civilization 1). If you have a few cities, game is lots of fun. If you have 20-30 cities games becomes an unbearable chore.

I've come to realize that Kenshi is more fun with a smaller party. Mighty try 5-10 skeletons next time.


Back to the Highlight Bodies/ Auto loot thing:

I realize the DEV will 99,9% not implement something like this, because
1) he has better things to do
2) after working so long in this game he's probably tired

Still, from a player perspective i would love such convinience.

Atm i'm burnt out on Kenshi anyway though so, i'm not in a hurry for a fix.

But i'm quite glad the game appears to be quite successful, with lots of positive reviews.
