Seeing bodies pile up in medbay, while fun in morbid kind of way, can get somewhat crazy at times. Got me thinking about how useless the morgue currently is. All it's really used for is to hide bodies and changling husks.
So basically, with the new disease system in, I was thinking that bodies should have a chance to spread disease, with random symptoms. Not anything too powerful or deadly, but something that'll encourage people to actually dispose of corpses. Maybe the diseases could have worse symptoms the longer the bodies been rotting away.
Could also add some nice flavor text about how shitty it smells. Would also give the medical doctors a reason to wear surgical masks and latex gloves. Body bags, Morgue units, etc would prevent the corpses from spreading their sickness everywhere. Thoughts?
