Background NPC cleanup

Video game concept

The game occasionally checks if NPCs or other AI controlled characters are stuck, lost in the void, or otherwise glitching and either removes them from the game or restores them to somewhat working order.

Especially good/important feature if the AI is subpar and/or the destruction of the enemies is mandatory.

This is not the same as unloading NPCs completely that go too far away or resetting everyone when revisiting an area.
