Anyone know how to take planets off the Prethoryn Scourge?

[Nelso34]

Can't seem to land troops on them even though i've bombed it to 0% or even take the planet not sure what your meant to do. I've essentially defeat the scourge and continuesly bombing all the planets they've infected.

Apparently they are bugged and you can't. Once they are fixed you still can't "take" the planet back, but you should be able to bomb them out of existence, leaving barren planets behind.

[Nelso34]

Ah ok then sees like an oversite that i can't research a technology to combat the infection on the planets or bomb the ♥♥♥♥ out of them make them barren and terraform them.

[not-so-pro-gamer]

HALP MEEEE!

[Nelso34]

There is no way to do it you just have to keep bombing the crap out of the planet until they become barren which is stupid

event crisis.200

[Nelso34]

Yeah that's the one but if your playing ironman you've just got to sit and keep bombing until the event pops.

Seems like thats not working, I keep bombing their planets since years now and they dont become barren planets... So how can I get rid of these bugs on the planets? Assault troops can´t invade infested planets.

[Nelso34]

Apprently there is no way you can you disinfect a planet with the scourge on it they are just there forever.Seem weird you're a highly advanced space faring civilisation you should be able to research something that allows you to un-infect the planet

i wonder if it is a bug... for now i just keep bombing all of their planets with a single ship each, which prevents them from spawning stuff.... continue to conquer the rest of the galaxy :)

Yes its a bug. What is supposed to happen is that the world gets the "barren world" status after your bombed the infection to zero and the scourge is gone from the world. That does not work as intended at the moment and the counter stays at zero with nothing happening.
There is a mod in the workshop that fixes the bug but it will disable achievments in Ironman mode.

Ah okey thanks.
I hope there is going to be an official patch for this issue soon.

[Nelso34]

I'll wait for the patch my game is in ironman at least we know its a bug.

[falk]

The new 1.03 patch says:

- Fixed issue with orbital bombardment of swarm invaders.

I guess this must be something else. Since I reloaded my game and keep bombing planets which are infested and they still dont turn to barren planets.
Or do we have to restart a game, that it works?

[Ogami]

Hm, thats strange. Some other users reported that now the planets get bombed to barren.
Maybe because you had those planets at 0 infection already? Maybe stop the bombardment for a few seconds so that the infection can grow above 0 and then start again. See if it gets destroyed when hitting 0 then.

[falk]

Oh wow, okey, yeah that worked!
Thank you Ogami! :)
Nice!
