InfestationCyst.lua --> CustomizationOnInit --> Lines 44 - 48
If it has been more than 86400 relative seconds (1 relative day), then the mesh (CystInfection) will grow at a lerping speed of a 0.25 x-axis vector, and a lerping speed of a 0.8500000238418579 y-axis vector. The math to calculate the total proportion of growth is the final growth result divided over 86400 + 1) / -6, 0, 1), 2). We do not know what the other values represent in this formula so we will leave that to the interpretation of the public. Anyway, this growth mechanism should operate for 7 days, and afterwards the CystInfection should cease to grow but remain attached to the Warframe's neck. After this period, the Cyst is enabled as a material for use to infect a kubrow, and create what is known in the game files as a "HELMINTH CHARGER".
