[20.0.21] Personal Laser Defenses not targeting nests

Post by Grahnath »

What happened:
The personal laser defenses inserted into spidertrons or players' grids do not target these specific two nests, and the spidertron rockets also do not target them.

What I expected to happen:
- Personal laser defenses and rockets should work always, targeting both bugs and spawners


My theory:
It's possible that these two nests were the ones that I had fired capture rockets at many game hours ago, and allowed to decay. I could easily imagine that the code that prevents personal lasers and rockets from destroying captured nests got "stuck" after they had returned to being regular nests

This is by design, it's to allow you to re-capture them. If you don't want that, you can manually shoot them with the shoot-manually key.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Yep, I had totally missed the label on the nests that said "protected from automated firing"! Makes a lot of sense, thanks!
