Description:
I shot a Rival harvester’s rocket pods, so they were destroyed. Then I got attacked by hunters, ran somewhere else, killed the hunters and some runners. Then the rival leveled up, and I ran back to the Rival harvester. Now the rival had regenerated its rocket pods, and also had new escorts.
Steps To Reproduce:
Destroy component on Rival. Kill some other robots, to let the rival level up. Go back to rival, and it has regenerated to full health and components (for harvesters also escorts).
Harvs guards (runners) aren’t part of the harv and if you wait long enough, new guards appear.
Every runner has a secret primary directive, to protect unprotected harv.
I’ve seen it several times, where i 1st take out the runner guards and while taking my sweet time with harv, i’ve seen that the very 1st runner patrol who wanders into area will race to the defenseless harv and become harv’s new guards.
That’s not a bug, but variety in the game.
As far as rival regenerating it’s destroyed components (and health), i haven’t seen that myself. Mainly because i don’t go after rival until it isn’t lvl4. Though, that regeneration could be programmed into the game, thus making rivals bigger threat than their normal counterparts, rather than being a game bug.
