<div class="IPBDescription">In a patch, not so far away..</div>I'd like to offer kudos for the pathing (drifter/mac) system which has come a long way.

I can remember a few patches ago where it was quite terrible.. and we had lots of hate here, so - have some love!

    Something I noticed in a game, cysts break pathing when they cover wall to wall.
    Make the pathing algorithm only check for obstructions at a certain height above the ground for fix.

    Or simply ignore objects on ground below a certain height.

    I did notice that making cysts on walls to avoid having to go down a set of stairs wasn't working as far as connectivity went... is it safe to assume cysts check the ground directly below them if they're on walls/ceiling to see if they're in range of other infestation?
