Maybe it's not a bug but a feature. Infestation can spread out through wide walls and damage Power nodes.
Maybe it's OK when you think of the real infestation behavior, but is it right for the game mechanics? It kinda butthurts marines when you can't reach or find proper cyst to destroy, and you always need to repair the Power node.

    Improving / Fixing Infestation is surely somewhere on our (CDT) To-Do list. But as far as i can see there is more important stuff to do for some time before we will even be able to look at this.

    Short Answer: Yes we know about it but without finding a way to clone each cdt dev this will not be fixed so soon.

    Definitely a known bug.. it's been around since early alpha days (when flamethrowers went through walls!)
    Very very difficult to resolve, however, according to every developer i've asked.

    At least it's once again on their radar, though.. maybe someone will take a crack at it again ;)
