Update: Made a really quick video showing the process https://youtu.be/Vi3n1MqJohk
Information how to do this is scattered around the forum, so I thought I'd make a simple guide in one place with all the information that you need.
Ill warn you now, if you delete anything that your not supposed to in any of these files, you WILL affect the way the Xeno works and possibly break it. So follow these steps EXACTLY!
Step 1: Locate your Xenobot install directory. In this example we will use mine, which MAY be different to yours. In this you will need to open the Data folder.
C:\Program Files (x86)\XenoBot\Data
Step 2: Find the your 3 latest files similar to these highlighted files. Remember that these were the three latest at time of making this guide and if its been updated yours may be different

it.0020.14.11.19.899.xml
it.0021.14.11.19.941.xml
it.0022.14.11.19.962.xml
Step 3: Copy these three files to a new folder on your desktop
Step 4: Find the ID of the corpses you wish to add (enable look ID's in xenobot Tools) in this case we will use a cyclops drone:
d4cdf8V.jpg
17:26 You see a dead cyclops (Vol:10). [ID 772]
Step 5:So from this we know that we need to add the line
xml code:<item id="772"/>
to each of your three files in your new desktop folder under the xml code:<itemtype name="corpses">section
example of finished file:

Now saving these files in the current naming will throw out an error in most cases as windows doesnt like people using "." dots in their names.
save each file replacing all "." with "_"
example:
it.0020.14.11.19.899.xml
becomes
it.0020_14_11_19_899.xml
you can then delete the old file (The one with .'s in it) and rename the it.
0020_14_11_19_899.xml file to look like it.0020.14.11.19.899.xml
So for a recap:
- You copy the files from the Data folder to a new folder on your desktop.
- open them
- add the corpse ID's.
- Save the file with _ replacing the .'s.
- Delete the old file (in your desktop folder)
- rename the _ files to have .'s instead
- then copy + replace these new files into your data folder
Found it really hard making the last part sound as simple as it is. If anyone needs more clarification please let me know.
EDIT: Please note, I copied the files to a desktop folder as my system would not let me save them directly to the xenobot folder. It may be easier to try and save there first to save alot of hassel. Otherwise if like my system you cant save there, follow my instructions in their entirety.
EDIT2: Everytime Xeno updates, you need to update the newly created config file!
