Purger not regenerating health at all

[Lockerd]

so is this a bug, or is every piece of literature about the goo wrong?

suposedly I should be able to regen the Purger with consuming buildings, but it never does.

No, the description is just terribly misleading. "Consume" just means it deals damage when it touches stuff, not that it regens (especially when the other formless goos do regen when they consume...). The only way to get it to regen is to get the Crescent upgrade and then use alt-click to fire on the Purger with said Crescents.
Haven't done it though so I don't know how much it'll heal, but I suspect it's going to be a very small amount compared to the Purger's 5k max hps.

surprisingly this works well, just 4 of them heals the purger from 100/5000 to 3400/5000 in thirty seconds

as far as i know you can feed the purger mother goos, but i haven't tried it yet

you can only feed mother goos to the purger durring construction to speed it up, but it doesn't always work.

You can feed all formless goo (Small/Large Proteans, Mother Goos) to the Proto-Purger to accelerate its construction, but you cannot feed your last Mother Goo to it (the function is disabled until you get another Mother Goo), otherwise it would result in you automatically losing the match.

It's actually really effective. One cresent is enough to keep a purger's health in the green while fighting another epic.
