Scavenging/butchering looting

These things make it easier to farm, so I'm afraid the suggestion might be labeled as asking for free stuff. I also don't know if devs would like making farming easier. Anyways.

When you're farming, corspes often overlap making it very hard or even impossible to target a lootable corpse in the pile. You either waste a lot of time trying to click on the right corpse or just lose loot. So there're two suggestions that may fix this problem:
  1. Make corpses disappear immediately (or faster) after scavenging/butchering.
  2. Make all corpses butcherable/scavengeable using loot button.
№2 may be a bug (should go to bugtracker then). Right now lootable (money or any item drop) corpses can be butchered/scavenged using loot button but straight-to-butcherable/scavengeble corpses can't be looted with a button. (The most trivial workaround I can think of would be to make money drop chance 100% while giving smaller amount of money.)

EDIT: Nevermind the last part. The conditions to butcher a corpse using loot button are less straightforward, not all lootable corpses can be just butchered, so the workaround i provided would make no sense.

Yeah, just bind the loot key to something else. I have mine binded to the + key on my numberpad and I spam it when I need to butcher or loot.

Yep I think the OP does this but he's talking specifically about butchering or scavenging corpses that have the flies visible, not the glitter. I have noticed this as well and basically chalk it up to lost loot. It sounds more like a bug though and not something that's working as intended.

I seem to remember the same frustrating issue like a scratch you can't itch on live as well. It may just be one of those things that my inner **** retentive has come to live with.

Yeah I've noticed this a lot as I tend to do quite a bit of farming. You'll kill a big pack, you'll spam your loot key, you can stay totally still but inevitably there will be a couple of mobs that you have to sift through corpses like you are panning for gold to get butchering or scavenging to click on.

It isn't a problem for small packs, but only when you are going for farming a lot of mobs that this is the case. I always wondered why corpses that had been looted/scavenged/butchered didn't just disappear outright. Might clear this up and be a good QOL change.
