Longer Corpse Despawn (More Dead Bodies) - CCR

This will increase the time it takes to despawn corpses and increase the maximum amount of corpses before culling by about 2x. I noticed after long fights clearing out lots of enemies, corpses at the beginning of the fight would begin to disappear! The maximum amount of corpses before aggressive culling is set too low!

For use with Console Command Runner, Install with Vortex/MO2, or place into your data folder.

Simply add these game settings into your overall gameplay tweaks file if yer wicked smaht:

;setgs iHoursToClearCorpses 24 (vanilla)

;setgs fRemoveExcessComplexDeadTime 2. 5 (vanilla)

;setgs fRemoveExcessDeadTime 10 (vanilla)

;setgs iRemoveExcessDeadComplexCount 3 (vanilla)

;setgs iRemoveExcessDeadComplexTotalActorCount 20 (vanilla)

;setgs iRemoveExcessDeadCount 15 (vanilla)

;setgs iRemoveExcessDeadTotalActorCount 20 (vanilla)

setgs iHoursToClearCorpses 48

setgs fRemoveExcessComplexDeadTime 200

setgs fRemoveExcessDeadTime 400

setgs iRemoveExcessDeadComplexCount 10

setgs iRemoveExcessDeadComplexTotalActorCount 40

setgs iRemoveExcessDeadCount 30

setgs iRemoveExcessDeadTotalActorCount 40

Adjust the values to whatever you wish! I used conservative values to avoid a large performance hit and save bloat which was a problem in older Bethesda titles, although Starfield is likely much more robust.

Shoutout https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1247 for the fantastic utility! I feel stupid uploading a mod for a GMST that has been in literally every Bethesda game, but I know a lot of folks may not be familiar with these settings. Go download his tool and give it an endorsement instead of my mod.

Check out the FO4 mod Piles of Corpses (Increased De-Spawn Timer) or the Skyrim mod Longer Lasting (and increased number of) Dead Bodies and Corpses, which I can only assume changes the same settings, for more player feedback on these settings.

If you're curious, what I know for sure about how these settings work is this:

• []"fRemoveExcessDeadTime" is the length in seconds between each body getting culled, so "fRemoveExcessDeadTime 400" is ~7 minutes.

• []The game starts culling once you reach the "iRemoveExcessDeadCount", so "iRemoveExcessDeadCount 30" is 30 total bodies.

• The game culls starting from the oldest body.

  Given my mod's settings, right when the 30th spacer hits the floor, it will be 7 minutes before the 1st spacer get
