Considering runners go ito crit and then die with only a handful of bullets I'm pretty sure it's intended

We have to keep some aspect of alien spooky considering how open combat is usually

It's not a bug, per se. Hiding code just places the creature underneath objects, any objects. Mobs are auto placed over objects in the world. So you get a runner hiding underneath everything. There's a way to fix that by moving tables to their own layer, but it would require a bunch of moving around I think, it's been a while. Hiding was originally done for larvae and monkeys, which could plausibly hide under small/tiny objects, but obviously that doesn't really make a lot of sense for runners. Could just remove hiding from runner since their special ability already allows them them to run over obstacles. Dunno.

Edit: Oh right, there's another thing. Currently weeds are objects spread via the purple sacks, so they are actually spawned on adjacent tiles. You could prevent things from hiding under weeds by making weeds a turf overlay instead of an object. It would function exactly the same, only it would prevent mobs from hiding underneath them since they wouldn't be objects, reduce server lag by cutting down on active objects in the world, remove the frustration of knifing weeds instead of the tile they are on, and fix the annoying bug where weeds wouldn't spread to tiles that already have anchored objects on them.

Intentional. When we gave the runners the hide verb, we adjusted the layering of the Weeds and Nodes so that the runners could travel "through" them.
