Veinholes and Tiberium Veins

So, what happened to these things? Have they been removed from the game? I haven't seen them yet in any of the maps I've played. Plus I don't see the Weed Eaters and Waste Facility.

The Veins are totally still there....
Really haven't seen them once? IF I remember right, the 1st Skirmish map to select has Veins on it.

God, I forget how good TI maps are. Just browsing through the minimaps.

Veins can be found in SP too. I think Nod mission 5 had a few in the southwest corner of the map, and there's a couple in the yet to be released campaign maps.

Ah shit eh?

But you can't harvest them no more right?

Any interesting plans for the veins, gameplay plans? Or is it the same thing you just can't harvest them?

Correct, they're no longer harvestable. The veins are an efficient trap against ground vehicles, slowing them down by what, 80%? Not to mention slowly tearing them into pieces. So don't rush into killing a veinhole that's basically guarding your base.

The very first MP map has them featured, too.
I know that for sure, ebcause it is, somewhat, my testing map when I screwed with the Inis ^^
