Destroyed tick pods on non destroyed machines reappear after restarting the game

Platform: PC

Description: One of the game features is that damaged machines stay damaged, even after reloading the game. This works fine most of the time… except for tick pods. They reappear in indestructible form, without outer casing. Ticks spawn as usual.

Steps To Reproduce: Destroy a tick pod on any machine that has one (preferably on a rival - this way it will be easier to find). Restart the game. Find the damaged machine.

Host or Client: Host

That has been the case for a pretty long time now and I believe it has also been mentioned before in the bug reports.

I started playing in August and I’m pretty sure it was already an issue back then (or maybe after the August update?).

No idea how it is now but simply getting out of range (walking, dying, respawning, fast traveling) was usually more than enough for it to happen.

In any case, it’s pretty annoying and it obviously should not happen.
