I'm searching for a mod that makes the fading out of biter corpses, base remnants, tree stumps etc. last longer (maybe 10x). for my opinion its to fast. All i can find is the opposite of that, resp. deleting them instantly. One mod I found that would suit me would be the "noxys fading" mod, but its outdatet.
