Why am I finding MASSIVE nests everywhere?

[Overene]

As far as I know, I set the world to have normal sized nests when I created it, and I don't think any of my mods increase nest size.

I have the following mods:
-air filtering
-bridge railway
-electricity xyle
-reverse factory
-rotatable pipes
-underground mining


I have also found several other nests of unusually big sizes. There are only 2 that I have found that seem to have a normal size.

EDIT:
Things are looking grim.

Maybe I did unknowingly set the nest sizes in the world to large...

You can check it by getting the map exchange string on the load/save menu, and trying to generate a new game with it.

Yeah I would you might have accidentally set the Biter settings higher when making the map. Those definitely are too big for default settings that early into the game. :/
You can double check though as Koub suggested.

...Yup. Accidentally set nest sizes to very big.

...Yup. Accidentally set nest sizes to very big.

That might explain why they're so big

Lol, yep. It looks like I did that by mistake when I was increasing the size of ore deposits.

Well you've also increased the size of alien artifacts deposits
