[2.0.73]Cannot kill biter nest with no healthbar

Post by nevano »

I was clearing biter nests, I accidentally launched the capture rocket thingy, I didn't want that so I broke the captured nest using shift+spacebar, and what happened next is the nest is still there spawning biters but I cant shoot it and there is no healthbar :danger:

The nest is marked as "protected from automatic attacks", its a QoL feature so that if you have a captured nest go rogue, it won't get instantly murked by turrets and artillery and dissatisfy the player with additional work later

You should be able to shoot it with shift + space bar

No problem at all, were you able to kill the nest?
