Cyst bug

<div class="IPBDescription">Cannot place a cyst in a certain area for the duration of a game</div>There is currently a potentially game breaking bug involving not being able to place cysts through a certain area for the duration of a game. This happens seemingly at random and remains a problem even if a new commander takes over. The blocked area may be large enough or crucial enough that it blocks access to key areas of the map completely or at least by normal means, making this bug a fairly large game breaker.

My best guess for the cause of the bug is a combination of the cyst minimum range and a bugged out non-existent cyst. That would explain the zone that cannot be cysted into, but if that were the case I would expect to be able to skip the affected zone and cyst past it as if there were one there, which I cannot. I do not know how to reproduce this bug deliberately so it may be better to classify it as a glitch.

Wasn't really sure which forum to put this on, this was my best guess.

I noticed a problem too - as alien commander you cannot cyst from Generator ( starting point ) to maintenance. you cannot cyst there, nor pass a drifter through it. Getting a res node is not possible. had a few ppl try it. Bug!

It seems to be when something makes the cyst think it doesn't have line of sight, i've had this happen at times when a gorge has made a clog wall, I made a whip/crag wall, or even if I place a cyst in an odd spot. Though it may just bug out in general at times

AS for the forum, these things normally get posted into technical support.
