I made a fairly large cell but after a while the membrane got smaller than me, my predatory pilus’s stopped working to. Even when I went back to before the glitch happened, I went out of the cell editor after doing nothing and it suddenly happened again.

Membrane not working for really large cells is this issue:

I guess as the pilus depends on the membrane coordinates to attach its physics shape, it would also break in this situation.
