* The reason why xenos survive fire better than humans goes further than this. The original PR partially fixes it, and makes it so that, on high firestacks, xenos reliably die considerably faster than humans do. However, on low firestacks it's a different story. The way humans handle being on fire is that their external temeperature (or skin temperature or body temperature, there's no consistent name for it but the var name is bodytemperature) increases based on the line that I copied over to xeno code here. However, being on fire also cancels all other procs that I could find that would ordinarily regulate external temperature through interacting with the atmos around the mob and from equalizing the core and external temperatures of a mob. This equalization still happens, but it becomes a one-way street. The core heats up from equalizing it's temp with the skin but the skin doesn't reduce it's temperature in turn, so even though the body could offset the temperature delta caused by being on fire with few firestacks, it doesn't get the chance to. Meanwhile, xenos (and all other carbons) don't have two different temperature values. Their external temperature doubles as core temperature and so they suffer differently from being on fire. Their temperature won't interact with the environment to cool itself while on fire, but their metabolism will still lower their temperature if it strays out of safe parameters. Because of this, while humans are by design unable to offset the temperature increase from fire, other carbons, xenos included, are able to reset their temperature to neutral faster than a fire with low firestacks can raise it and so they can be on fire indefinitely. When high firestacks are involved this is still true, but their metabolism will be overwhelmed, their temperature will start to steadily rise and because of the way their bodies react to high temperatures they will take more damage and die faster than humans.
