How will prethoryn react to ring worlds and habitats?

[Swarm lover]

So with the approach of utopia I got really excited and it reminded me of a post I read some time ago. Basically one guy had a game where the prethoryn had take over 2 parts of a ring world transforming it into 2 infested planets resulting in a half done ringworld. Now my question is whether this bug has been fixed since we can now build ringworlds of our own, but also how will prethoryn go about taking over habitats? Will the habitat become some kind of station or will it transform into an entire planet.

The other crises wont cause problems since one conquers normally while the other just kills the population.

This is a good point, I hope they make infested ringworld segments, and infested habitats...

Last I looked into the gamefiles the rules were:
Prethoryn can not infest Ringworld Segments using thier Colonisers.
If they conquer a Ringworld segment to purge the pops, the segment is destroyed after thier purge (rather then becomming a infested world).
And infested Worlds become barren upon being conquered.

I asume the destruction of the segments is mostly done for graphical reasons. While an "infested Ringworld Segment" might be possible, it would propably still become a destroyed segment after cleansing.
I asume that habitats will just be destroyed. These buggers simply lack the skills nessesary to maintain a artificial habitat.

Of however a prethoryn crisis would rather see a increase in habitats being build. After all they can be build around every planet - inlcuding formerly habitable ones that the swarm grabbed, only to loose it.
