v 0.17.21

Bug - degen effect from worm attack lasts much longer on a car if it is being repaired

How to replicate
-Have robo port, builder bots and repair packs in inventory
-Drive a car near a worm
-Get hit by the acid projectile
your robots should attempt to repair the damaged car at this point
-Back out of range slowly as to not outrun the construction bot

Expected behavior
-The degen effect should run out after a few seconds because you are not being shot anymore

Actual behavior
-The degen effect lasts much longer while your robot is repairing the car

https://i.imgur.com/KgJ3Zxy.png the mods I was using none of which should affect worm damage but listing it here just in case
I also tested in vanilla by disabling all mods and reloading to that save the bug can still be replicated

Didnt read patch notes => pool of green goo is not decorative, it causes degen.

When you got out of the car, weren't you parked _in_ a pile of... acid?

Try to go stand in acid on the ground, you should notice the same thing.

Lol youre right, I never even noticed that I thought the green goo was just decorative.
I guess my method of testing it allowed the car to stay in the pool since I backed out so slowly.
I shouldve read the patch notes for 0.17 more carefully as I seem to have missed that change entirely.
