[2.0.9] Biter nests from "Captive biter spawner" are not targeted by turrets

Post by Mefisto1029 »

Biter spawners are not targeted by turrets if "Captive biter spawner" is destroyed/spoiled.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Build some turrets and add them ammo
2. Build "Captive biter spawner"
3. Destroy it witch granades or let it spoil
4. Turrets are not targeting nest

AFAIK this is a feature where if a capture robot is set to target an entity, then this entity is set as "protected" to avoid having it accidentally destroyed by other means (turrets, lasers, artillery etc).

I will keep this in bug reports for a discussion about how to make this feature less cryptic.

It even shows it in the tooltip, explaining that it is protected, and what key shortcut can be used to manually kill it if you want.
