Weeds don't regrow after being destroyed/purple sacs can't be killed.

[GoliathTheDespoiler]

Bug Description:
Weeds, after being destroyed, cannot be regrown by the same purple sac. As well as this, purple sacs are immortal and can't be destroyed. This means that in some cases weeds cannot ever be replaced since so many purple sacs are already there, that you can't spawn more to replace the destroyed weed.

Steps to reproduce:
1.Grow weed
2.Destroy weed (bombs, knives, etc. work fine)
3.Watch as the weed doesn't regrow. Also you can't kill the sacs at any point.

Are you sure you are using a knife on those orbs and wailing on them? They take much more damage than normal.

Also, each orb only has so much stored weed in it. Once they expend it, they stop growing. Not sure if THAT is supposed to happen, but it never is a serious problem for xenos.

I think he's talking about the fact that as a XENO you can't destroy weed orbs.

I don't think xenos can do that in general. There are only a number of things that you can break, like alien walls and doors, but weed and nodes are something you can't claw down.

It'd be nice if they could, 'cause there can be tiles that are unweeded but have a orb on them. So you can't replace it and make more weed there.

FYI, the nodes act as weed tiles pretty sure

Yeah, weed nodes act just like regular weeds, which is why I always destroy them

Also, the devs have talked about this and basically the reason they don't regrow is because of the lag it would cause with so many nodes at the same time regrowing and always checking
