He said it used to be like that, but due to insanely laggy reasons he cut that out.

EDIT: I'd also like to mention I had an idea though, how about if you use some modified rope drawing code from your grapling hooks to make it so along with thorns it could spawn evil little turret tendrils that shoot out and grab things, and reel them in while they slowly damage the target point-by-point, and if multiple vines grab to one target and struggle over which one reels it in, they should insta-gib it as if they ripped it apart attempting to both get it (yes like those old plants we had that did that as mentioned before as well, except a bit different) they could be called tendril pods, and I guess could spawn on variant X, or a new variant of their own.

This is really fun!
The growing tendrils tend to get lost in the clumps that grow rapidly though, and I am still not sure why I'm not seeing thorns or mines growing from one of the X pods. Does a perfectly good job growing into impassible barriers, so it's awesome in my books.

Not sure how to remove it though, the material it leaves as it grows is tremendously strong, even long after I think a growth has died off.

You know what would make this even more awesome? Grappling hook physics for seed pods shot out of mines to attach to unsuspecting ships. Just as the ship is about to escape, the pod breaks open and devours the craft, falling to earth to seed new land with tendrils.

Magnoit. The normal seed crashes there too.

EDIT: Actually, I think all the seeds crash my game at anytime. Maybe because I was useing zombot mod on skirmish. But I don't know what's wrong with campaigns.

Actually, I'm also getting crash.
Everything works perfects with my great amount of mods, till I throw one of those.
They grow and behave normally, but about minute after they start growing, game just crashes.
This is not related to what I'm doing atm. I tried just throwing one, and waiting, without activities or anyting, and game crashed after a while.

I don't crash, but they all stop after 60 seconds, even the X kind.

No way. I'm throwing everything I have at these things and they get barely scratched. Even single vines. I have very few mods, but I'm going to try this with a clean game.

Edit: Well, It was definitely a mod. They now get damaged when shot. I'm going to try and find which mod was messing my game up.

Edit 2: Found it! I had a modified version of the BW mod.

Well couldn't he make it to where there is a B and BS (lol) version? B would stand for Branching. It could have a main vine, and maybe once in a while it branches off of the main vine, and the sub-vine lives for maybe 15 sec? And the sub-vines never branch off to other sub-vines, only the main vine can branch. Kind of confusin O.o

This is great! 1 suggestion. Vine zombies that come from the vines and wont die from vines. Like a vine type that if you get killed from vines, you turn into a zombie that ocassionally drops a seed capsule off.

Seconding the call for a "gardener" which the vines will not attack.

You mean the vine zombies?

Arrgh,when the vines advance to attack a unit they stop working >:(
FIX IT D:

Question: Do you have BW.rte in your CC folder?

If so that might be the cause as that and Unitec were the only mods I removed to get mine working.

This is awsome ^_^
Just wish it would grow faster, seems like it takes its time on everything but killing actors.

and it is pretty equal with Tiberium, it tends to not be fast enough to destroy it all before it comes back though.

this mod reeks of amazing. I think a gardener and maby some *plant-landsquid-thingy* crabs that spawn from buds that drop off the vine every 30 seconds or so and rape nearby actors/spread the infection would be cool.

shitty concept art.
Beak is a fixed turret that forces the user to jump towards the target when fired via negative mass
eggsack would look like the first signs one, but green.
it would be great if you did that.

did you know you can grow them too scaffolds? its really neat:
